	WMC staff cuts in Xstrata's sights - Business - www.smh.com.au
		Xstrata's bidder's statement for its $7.4 billion takeover offer for WMC Resources will be released today and is expected to confirm the worst fears of WMC's 400-strong Melbourne staff: Xstrata's intention to cut their numbers.
		Xstrata, which prides itself on its ability to function with a small corporate centre, is expected to detail in its bidder's statement its plans to close WMC's Melbourne's offices.
		Under Xstrata's commodity-based corporate structure, the nickel business - a new business for Xstrata - would have its corporate functions office based in WA, while Olympic Dam would be wrapped into Xstrata's global head office for copper in Brisbane, a legacy of its $4.9 billion takeover last year of the Queensland mining giant, MIM.

		Xstrata chief executive Mick Davis earlier this week told The Australian Financial Review that the idea that "suddenly there is an indefinite shortage of uranium is just complete nonsense".

		Xstrata is believed to have lodged its application for clearance with the Foreign Investment Review Board last Friday.
