(Reuters) - Australia's South32 Ltd <S32.AX> said on Thursday it was in talks to sell its South Africa energy-coal business to Seriti Resources and will book a related charge of $504 million.
The charge will be reflected in the company's annual results due later in the day, the miner said in a statement.
South32 has been running its South African energy coal business as a separate unit since April 2018 in preparation for a sale.
