OceanaGold agrees A$776 million acquisition of Ausgold and Katanning
The court-approved scheme would give OceanaGold 100% of Ausgold and its Western Australian Katanning Gold Project. The offer implies A$1.36 per Ausgold share; Katanning is being positioned as a conventional open-pit operation with more than 100,000 ounces of annual production potential, a mine life exceeding ten years and first gold targeted for 2029. The transaction still requires shareholder, court and regulatory approvals.
