Mvelaphanda May Receives Interest From Bidders; ENRC Reportedly Makes Takeover Approach
01/5/2010
Mvelaphanda Resources Ltd is likely to invite bidders attracted by its platinum project. Reuters reported that the company denied commenting on a report that stated that Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation Plc (ENRC) had made a takeover approach. Miningmx reported without citing sources that ENRC was in talks with Mvelaphanda regarding a possible bid. Reuters reported that ENRC also denied commenting on the issue. Mvelaphanda's executive commercial manager, James Wellsted said that the company was likely to receive interest from potential bidders. He said: "There's clearly going to be some interest, whether it's from ENRC or another platinum producer, I'm sure people are looking at us." He added: "There's been quite a significant change in the outlook for the PGM (platinum group metal) market -- the prices are a lot higher -- and obviously Northam and Booysendal offer a very attractive suite of assets." James Wellsted stated that the company was pushing forward with its plans to unbundle its assets to shareholders and would consider takeover offers. He said: "We will continue with our strategy... but at the same time, if someone comes and makes an offer that makes sense from a value and a strategic perspective for our shareholders then clearly we've got to look at that."
Mvelaphanda Resources To Be Delisted
06/4/2009
On June 4, Mvelaphanda Resources Ltd. (Mvela) said it would delist and cease to exist by early next year after selling its stake in its unit, Northam Platinum. Mvela said in May that it was trying to make an acquisition in order to avert the potential delisting. However, on June 4, it said on that it had terminated talks on the proposed acquisition and would therefore now have to delist. "Mvela would delist and cease to exist," Lazarus Zim, Mvela's chairperson, told a media conference call. Mvela's plan to delist was brought about by JSE (Johannesburg Securities Exchange) rules, which bar a listed firm from generating more than half its earnings from an investment in another listed firm, or have more than three quarters of its net asset value tied in another listed company.
