0229 GMT - Evolution Mining gets not just more copper ore from Carnaby Resources' Greater Duchess project under an agreed takeover, but "perhaps more importantly in our view access to significant underexplored acreage," says MA Moelis Australia. The 213 million Australian dollars deal is a modest investment for A$23-billion Evolution, it says. For Carnaby, "this deal represents value recognition by another corporate that the market was unwilling to pay," MA says. It keeps a buy rating and A$1.10 target on Carnaby shares. MA says investors should continue to hold the stock in case any further corporate activity arises, even if it appears unlikely at this stage. Shares in Carnaby are up 60% at A$0.77.
