what happened
According to Newsmetry API, Metals X will likely have to raise its bid for U.K.-listed First Tin to complete a transaction, Shaw and Partners suggests. The Australian miner’s current proposal values First Tin at GBP0.15 a share. Metals X already owns nearly 30% of the company.
Shaw analyst Peter Kormendy says the offer appears low compared with First Tin’s 2024 definitive feasibility study for the Taronga project, which is being updated.
“The strategic logic fits our consolidator thesis and the cost is modest relative to current Metals X cash,” Shaw said. The firm identified two key issues: the increase that may be required for a successful outcome and how Taronga’s capital expenditure would fit alongside the final investment decision for Rentails, Metals X’s tin project in Tasmania.
Shaw and Partners maintains a hold call on Metals X and a price target of A$1.90 a share. The stock finished Monday at A$2.03.
why it matters
The report puts the focus on the possible terms of the First Tin deal and on how Metals X may balance funding between its Taronga and Rentails tin projects.
