Regis and Vault in Merger to Forge New Senior ASX Gold Producer

Regis Resources Limited ( (AU:RRL) ) has provided an update.

Regis Resources and Vault Minerals have agreed a merger-of-equals via a scheme of arrangement under which Regis will acquire all Vault shares, creating a combined group with approximately 51% ownership by Regis shareholders and 49% by Vault investors. The enlarged company will have an anticipated annual gold output above 700,000 ounces from five operating assets, a debt-free balance sheet holding about A$1.9 billion in cash and bullion, and Ore Reserves of 6 million ounces supporting long-life operations.

Management expects the merger to form Australia’s third-largest primary ASX-listed gold producer, with around A$10.7 billion in pro forma market capitalisation and significant tax and cost synergies, including more than A$500 million in corporate tax benefits. The deal, unanimously backed by both boards, is designed to enhance operational resilience, lower the cost of capital and provide greater flexibility for funding growth projects and potential shareholder returns, under a unified leadership team headed by Russell Clark as chair and Jim Beyer as CEO.
