West African multi-mine gold producer Perseus will gain control of significant additional production potential through the announcement of a $A59.8M takeover of fellow Australian-based company Exore Resources.
If successful, the offer of 1 Perseus share for every 12.79 Exore shares will combine the Bagoe and Liberty projects in Côte d’Ivoire to its existing producing Edikan mine in Ghana and Sissingué mine in CdI as well as its under-construction Yaouré mine also in CdI.
Prior to the scheme of arrangement, Exore will wrap up 100% ownership of Bagoe and Liberty through a $4.5M deal to acquire the 20% interest of Apollo Consolidated.
The companies aim to complete the transaction by mid-Sept.
