Tietto Minerals (TIE AU): Zhaojin Mining Secures Reg Approvals. Then Bumps

By David Blennerhassett

  • On the 30 October 2023, Chinese gold producer Zhaojin Mining Industry (1818 HK) pitched a non-binding off-market Offer for Aussie-listed West African gold miner Tietto Minerals (TIE AU).
  • Zhaojin held 7.02% of shares out, and sought 50.1%. Tietto subsequently rejected the A$0.58/share cash proposal. The IE backed out a fair value range of A$0.793-A$0.927/share.
  • Zhaojin has now announced it has secured all Chinese regulatory approvals; and that Côte d’Ivoire government approval is not required. Plus Zhaojin bumped terms to A$0.68/share – best and final. 

Iron Ore Primer: Understanding The Drivers Of the Market, Ways To Play The Sector

By Sameer Taneja

  • We provide a comprehensive introduction to the iron ore sector, covering the drivers and a view of the commodity in the short run. 
  • We look at eleven listed names in the space ( from large-cap miners to the juniors deriving a vast majority of their revenues from ore) and list our favorite miners.
  • We like Vale (VALE US) for its capital return in large caps, Kumba Iron Ore (KIO SJ)  in midcaps, and Mount Gibson Iron (MGX AU)  in junior miners.
