SolGold ( (GB:SOLG) ) has provided an update.

Jiangxi Copper (Hong Kong) Investment Company Limited, on behalf of Jiangxi Copper Company Limited, has agreed terms for a recommended all-cash acquisition of SolGold, offering 28 pence per share and valuing the company at about £867 million. The bid represents substantial premiums to SolGold’s recent and longer-term trading prices, and has the unanimous support of SolGold’s board, which plans to recommend shareholders back the scheme of arrangement. As SolGold’s largest shareholder with a 12.2% stake and deep familiarity with the Cascabel project, Jiangxi Copper aims to leverage its technical, financial and supply chain capabilities to progress Cascabel into production, potentially providing greater development certainty and capital support than SolGold could secure independently, a move welcomed by key shareholders including BHP and Newcrest.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SOLG) stock is a Buy with a £46.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SolGold stock, see the GB:SOLG Stock Forecast page.
