* Anglo Pacific says A$0.34 per share is final offer

* Royalco says offer undervalues company

(Adds details)

LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - Australia-based royalty and mineral exploration company Royalco Resources Ltd (RCO.AX) said on Friday it rejected Anglo Pacific Group Plc's (APF.L) improved offer because it undervalues the company.

Anglo, Royalco's biggest shareholder, raised its cash offer to A$0.34 ($0.27) a share, valuing Royalco at A$17.9 million, adding that the revised price was its final offer.

Anglo made a A$0.30 per share offer in May. [ID:nBNG503237]

Two leading international human rights groups gave Obama mixed reviews on his human rights record on Wednesday, a day before he is slated to accept the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International urged Obama to use his acceptance speech on Thursday to renew U.S. leadership on human rights after its position was undermined by abuses committed during the Bush administration's war on terrorism.
