LONDON--Miner South32 Ltd. (S32.AU) said it will review its options after the U.S. Department Commerce announced it will impose preliminary anti-dumping measures for imports of Australian Silicomanganese.

"The United States Department of Commerce has issued a notice of a preliminary anti-dumping determination, setting a 11.93% rate for imports of Silicomanganese of Australian origin," the company said, adding it is disappointed with the determination.

The measures affect South32's manganese alloy plant in Tasmania, said South32, which was recently spun out of mining giant BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP.AU).

South32 shares in London at 0951 GMT, were down a penny, or 0.8%, at 67 pence valuing the company at GBP3.5 billion ($5.4 billion).
