Aug 12 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers,

acquisitions and disposals were reported by 0930 GMT on Monday:

** Gold Fields Ltd has agreed to acquire Osisko

Mining ( OBNNF ) for C$2.16 billion ($1.57 billion), it said,

barely two years after an attempt to buy another Canadian miner

was scuppered by a rival offer.

** India's Bharti Enterprises said it would acquire a 24.5%

stake in BT, worth about 3.2 billion pounds ($4 billion),

buying out the British company's top investor, telecoms tycoon

Patrick Drahi, as his Altice group struggles with high debts.

said it would sell its Australian plumbing supplies and

distribution business Tradelink for A$170 million ($112 million)

to Australia-based Metal Manufactures Pty.
