Metals One Notes Progress on Lions Bay Bid for South African Gold Assets and Power Plant Option

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Metals One PLC ( (GB:MET1) ) has issued an update.

Metals One has highlighted progress at investee Lions Bay Capital and its 47.4%-owned associate Lions Bay Resources (LBR), which are advancing a bid to acquire the assets of South Africa’s Vantage Goldfields and related mines currently in business rescue, while also extending LBR’s option to purchase a cogeneration power plant in KwaZulu-Natal to the end of February 2026. LBR has been funding security costs at the Vantage assets and is preparing to argue its position in South Africa’s High Court on 2 March 2026, as it seeks to secure the mines and repurpose the power plant to produce electricity and treat pyritic gold concentrates, a move that would support the creation of a vertically integrated South African gold business and potentially enhance Metals One’s indirect exposure to gold production and associated revenues.
