An announcement from Perseus Mining ( (AU:PRU) ) is now available.
Perseus Mining has agreed to sell its 70% group interest in the Meyas Sand gold project in Sudan to Hong Kong Matrix Golden Fortune Mining, a subsidiary of China’s Matrix Resources Group, for US$260 million in cash. The deal, structured with a US$10 million deposit already received and US$250 million due at completion on 22 April 2026, is being executed on an “as is, where is” basis and is guaranteed by Matrix’s ultimate parent, Zhejiang Lygend Investment.
The transaction follows a strategic review triggered by prolonged armed conflict in Sudan that limited Perseus’s ability to advance the project at scale. By divesting Meyas Sand, Perseus expects to record a book gain, redeploy internal resources to core assets and growth projects, further bolster its balance sheet, and potentially consider additional capital returns, while its reported JORC group resource and reserve estimates remain unaffected as Meyas Sand was classified as a foreign estimate.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:PRU) stock is a Buy with a A$6.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Perseus Mining stock, see the AU:PRU Stock Forecast page.
