China Hanking's stock surged 5.46% during intraday trading on Friday, following the company's announcement of a significant acquisition that would give it full ownership of its gold business.
The company revealed plans to acquire the remaining 9.56% stake in Hanking Gold, increasing its ownership from 90.44% to 100%. The transaction consideration totals approximately HK$814.6 million, to be settled through the issuance of new shares at HK$4.0 per share.
This acquisition provides China Hanking with complete control over gold assets that include 5.54 million ounces of gold resources and 2.62 million ounces of gold reserves under the JORC (2012) code, which investors likely view as a strategic move to consolidate valuable mining assets.
