The Billiton part of it was gleaned from BHP’s merging with former South African mining company Gencor, which morphed into Billiton in a London listing. However, Billiton was recently ignominiously stripped from its title, accompanied by the company’s bobbing and weaving to avoid the onslaught of shareholder dissatisfaction.
