West African Resources Ltd ( (AU:WAF) ) has provided an announcement.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. has lodged a notice with West African Resources stating it has ceased to be a substantial shareholder in the gold miner as of early February 2026. The change follows a series of transactions on 3 February 2026 involving purchases of fully paid ordinary shares in West African Resources by entities controlled by First Sentier Group Limited and Morgan Stanley, altering Mitsubishi UFJ’s relevant interest below the substantial holding threshold.
The filing indicates a reshaping of West African Resources’ share register, with major global financial institutions actively trading positions linked to the stock. While the company’s operations are unaffected in the near term, the shift may influence its investor base composition and could signal evolving institutional appetite for exposure to the West African gold sector.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WAF) stock is a Buy with a A$5.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on West African Resources Ltd stock, see the AU:WAF Stock Forecast page.
