By GlobalDataThe HOA will see both companies enter into a life of mine, alliance-style mining contract for the Batu Hijau copper-gold site in Indonesia.
Based on an independent valuation, Macmahon will also acquire certain existing equipment at Batu Hijau from AMNT that includes loading equipment, trucks, ancillary and support assets.
In consideration of this acquisition, Macmahon will issue AMNT with new shares equivalent to between 40% and 50.1% of Macmahon’s expanded share capital post completion.
The total number of shares to be issued to AMNT will be calculated by dividing the sale assets valuation by an agreed subscription price of A$0.203 per Macmahon share.
This transaction is subject to multiple conditions including approval of Macmahon’s shareholders.
An Indonesian mining company, AMNT operates the Batu Hijau project, located on the island of Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara.
The project is one of the largest operating copper-gold mines in the country that started operations in 2000. The companies will now negotiate a binding implementation deed and mining contract.
It is expected that the negotiations will be completed before 13 April.
