Sibanye-Stillwater which has a 19.9% stake in Australian retreatment mine New Century Resources, has made an unsolicited offer to acquire the remaining stake. The reason given for the offer is that Sibanye is unhappy with the company’s strategic direction and this tailings retreatment and recycling mine fits nicely into Sibanye’s ‘circular economy’ strategy. At an offer price of A$1.10, representing a large premium, the company will pay up to A$120 million (R1,5 billion) if the deal is accepted.
