Intermin Resources Limited (ASX:IRC) is into exploration and development of mineral deposits in Australia for gold, vanadium/molybdenum, nickel, and copper. The key projects of the company include Menzies gold project; Nanadie Well prospect; and Richmond oil shale-vanadium-molybdenum project.
On 06 February 2019, the company has provided a presentation of the merger with MacPhersons. MacPherson's shareholders will receive one share of Intermin for every 1.8227 shares held for MacPherson. After the completion of the merger, Intermin and MacPherson's shareholders will have a stake of 55 percent and 45 percent of Horizon Minerals, respectively. The proposed merger will be implemented through a scheme of arrangement. Intermin will be named as Horizon Minerals post-merger subject to the approval of Intermin shareholders.Â
The proposed merger with MacPhersons will create several benefits and synergies. Horizon will have combined mineral resource of 1.12Moz with a significant open cut and underground growth potential. The board and management of Horizon will have strong technical skills and experience in exploration, mine development, mill construction, operations and corporate. The merger might experience enhanced market relevance with strong balance sheet, improved liquidity and pre-production status, coupled with a strategy that is consistent with the strategy of Intermin of pursuing logical regional consolidation opportunities to unlock value.
The shareholderâs value will be driven by the following strategies. The combination with MacPhersons provides the immediate critical mass and baseload feed to unlock a standalone development in the best interests of both IRC and MRP shareholders. The proposed transaction is consistent with Interminâs objective of building a mid-tier gold mining business in the West Australian Goldfields. The merger will deliver enhanced market relevance and re-rating potential driven by a stronger balance sheet, improved liquidity, and pre-production status. The board as well as the management team has the drive and track-record to deliver the corporate strategy. Further, logical and complementary consolidation opportunities are being actively pursued, and exploration and development studies in 2019 will drive growth ahead of future production with clear long-term upside potential.
