Activist shareholder Elliott Advisors is calling on BHP Billiton PLC (BLT.LN) management to undertake a full, independent and transparent review of unification at the dual-listed mining firm by Feb. 20, when it reports first-half earnings.

In a letter on Monday to BHP Chairman Ken MacKenzie, Elliott said that unification will deliver more than $22 billion in value to shareholders and cost only $391 million.

Elliott said it had commissioned advisory firm FTI Consulting to conduct an independent review of unification.

BHP is currently listed in both Australia and London.
