Evolution Mining Placement – Back to Equity Markets Again to Fund Another M&A Deal

By Clarence Chu

  • Evolution Mining (EVN AU) is looking to raise around US$350m to partially fund its acquisition of an 80% stake in the Northparkes copper and gold mines.
  • While the acquisition wasn’t explicitly flagged, the firm has guided that it had been eyeing acquisitions into gold/copper pathways. Thus, we would argue that the deal is somewhat well flagged.
  • That being said, at 14 days of three month ADV, the deal isn’t a particularly small one for the firm to digest.
