"London Mining Network Questions for Anglo American", 14 May 2020
Anglo American is one of the world’s biggest, wealthiest mining companies. Its Annual General Meeting (AGM, or annual shareholders’ meeting) was on 5 May – but it was held with only two people present, because of the UK government’s restrictions on gatherings of more than two people.
