Silver Lake And Genesis Duke It Out For St Barbara’s Flagship

By David Blennerhassett

  • After abandoning its reverse merger, St Barbara (SBM AU) confirmed it will sell its flagship Leonora gold project to Genesis Minerals (GMD AU) for $600mn (cash and GMD scrip).
  • That transaction appeared all stitched up, until Silver Lake Resources (SLR AU) gatecrashed the party with a non-binding proposal for the Leonara asset. SBM’s board rejected the competing proposal. 
  • SLR has now tweaked terms to address SBM concerns. Back in SBM’s court. GMD has matching rights if SBM sides with SLR.
