Fortescue Metals Group Ltd ( (AU:FMG) ) has issued an announcement.
Fortescue has secured shareholder approval from Alta Copper Corp. investors for its planned acquisition of all Alta Copper shares it does not already own, clearing a key hurdle toward full ownership of the Canadian-listed explorer and its Peruvian copper assets, notably the Cañariaco Copper Project. Currently holding about 36% of Alta Copper, Fortescue will proceed via a Canadian Plan of Arrangement offering C$1.40 per share, valuing Alta Copper at C$139 million, a 50% premium, and positioning Fortescue to consolidate a large, long-life copper opportunity in an emerging Peruvian porphyry corridor, enhance its copper portfolio, and gain greater control over project development and capital allocation, subject to remaining court, regulatory and customary approvals.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:FMG) stock is a Sell with a A$19.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fortescue Metals Group Ltd stock, see the AU:FMG Stock Forecast page.
