Officials at Berau Coal Energy and Bumi Resources have denied a report from the Daily Telegraph newspaper that said its London-based parent company Bumi Plc was eyeing a 4 billion pound ($6.3 billion) merger between the two Indonesian coal miners.

The news came after London-based Bumi Plc scrapped a $2.07 billion plan to acquire Bumi Resources’ non-coal unit, Bumi Resources Minerals. Bumi Plc owns a 29 percent stake in Bumi Resources and an 85 percent stake in Berau.

“Berau denies that there is any possible merger with Bumi Resources pending or under consideration,” Thomas Shreve, a director at Berau Coal, said via e-mail.
