Nittetsu Mining Unveils ¥10 Billion Share Buyback and Cancellation Linked to Mine Development Strategy

Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. ( (JP:1515) ) has issued an update.

Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. has approved a share buyback program of up to 5 million common shares, representing 6.3% of its outstanding stock excluding treasury shares, with a maximum outlay of ¥10 billion through market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange from April 1, 2026, to January 29, 2027. The company plans to cancel all shares acquired under this program by March 31, 2027, aiming to improve capital efficiency, implement agile capital policies amid a changing business environment, and strengthen shareholder returns while aligning capital strategy with expected cash flows from mine development projects and planned asset sales.
