Kaiser Reef to acquire Henty gold mine

ByVictoria

Australia-based Kaiser Reef has entered into a definitive agreement with Catalyst Metals to acquire the Henty gold mine and associated exploration tenements in north-western Tasmania in a deal valued at A$31.6m.

Under the deal, Kaiser will make an upfront payment of A$15m and issue A$16.6m in shares, offering Catalyst a 19.99% stake in the company.

Following the acquisition, Kaiser’s enterprise value will reach A$67m, encompassing three gold mines, including one under care and maintenance and two gold processing plants.

“Kaiser will continue to re-invest into Henty and build on what Catalyst has already achieved. We are very pleased to have Catalyst’s continued involvement and exposure to the upside at Henty, both as Kaiser’s major shareholder and through their board representation.”

    “What we have seen is the change in the motive for safe-haven buying – from being driven by the Middle East uncertainty to the threat and realisation of tariffs,” said Philip Newman, managing director at consultancy Metals Focus.

    “Strikingly, gold was rallying as inflation eased, and it looked as though all of our understanding of how gold prices behaved was being challenged,” said independent analyst Ross Norman.

    Nicky Shiels, head of metals strategy at MKS PAMP SA, said that while prices could break out towards $3,200, resolution of physical gold dislocations attributed to tariffs and potential structural changes including reduced risk appetite, reduced participation and reduced liquidity are increasingly bearish.

    The trade war stirred by U.S. tariffs raises a risk for metal demand, the head of Chile’s Antofagasta said, although he predicted AI and other technology could offset any loss of traditional consumption caused by economic weakness.

    He also said President Donald Trump’s policies could lead to a more favourable environment for investment in mining

    Antofagasta CEO Ivan Arriagada said he expected supplies of copper, needed for construction and the transition to a lower carbon economy, would remain in limited supply.

    “In the current environment, where there is a lot more support for mining investment, it should be easier and should happen,” Arriagada said

    Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) was up 0.4% at $9,418 a metric ton by 1000 GMT, having hit a peak of $9,481.50 in the previous session for its highest since April 3.

    “It’s almost impossible to see what is happening from one day to the next. No doubt the tariff optimism that triggered the risk-on rally early in the week has faded again,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank in Copenhagen.

    U.S. Comex copper futures gained 0.5% to $4.87 a lb, bringing the premium over LME copper to $1,314 a ton.
