Evolution Mining Snaps Up Carnaby Resources for A$213M

The Evolution Mining acquisition of Carnaby Resources for approximately A$213 million is more than just a transaction about resource size, but rather one that leverages geographic proximity, shared infrastructure, and operational synergies to create lasting shareholder value.

Carnaby shareholders will receive 0.0682 new Evolution shares for every Carnaby share they hold, implying an offer price of A$0.77 per share, a premium of approximately 60.4% to the last closing price.

The Greater Duchess Copper-Gold Project, situated in Queensland's Mount Isa Inlier region, is strategically distinct due to its proximity to Evolution's operating Ernest Henry copper-gold mine and the potential to utilize existing mill capacity.

Evolution estimates that integrating Greater Duchess could contribute approximately 10,000 tonnes per annum of additional copper production at Ernest Henry, taking advantage of latent processing capacity and reducing capital intensity and unit operating costs.
