Should Perseus Buy WAF? + The Port Lithium Hopefuls Need
The Money of Mine team is back together in the studio again and humming! We start today’s chat with the WA government’s announcement that the heritage laws proposed to be implemented come July 1, 2023, have been pushed back for 12 months. Then, we update the Money Miners on the announcement from Panoramic (PAN.asx) regarding their previously flagged processing plant issues before cracking open MacMahon’s (MAH.asx) last-minute guidance update. We then try to interpret what we can as to the goings-on at the Port of Geraldton, in particular as it relates to Fenix (FEX.asx), Mt Gibson (MGX.asx), and other interested parties. Our longer chat is reserved for West African Resources (WAF.asx), the Burkina Faso gold miner, who updated their shareholders with the news that they’d secured US$265m in financing for the construction of the Kiaka gold project. We peered into the financing details, their discounted shares, and a bit of speculation!

We’ve got a big episode in store for the Money Miners today, with the one and only Matty Michael back in the studio fresh from his East Coast adventure. We kick things off with Musgrave (MGV.asx) advising shareholders to reject the Westgold (WGX.asx) takeover proposal, then staying on the theme of takeovers, we talk through what the hold-up is at Mincor (MCR.asx), with Wyloo looking to wrap things up pronto! Calidus (CAI.asx) signed a framework agreement which gets a mention as well as Capricorn (CMM.asx) who closed out some hedges, fixing our upside on some potential upside. Galena (G1A.asx), Global Lithium (GL1.asx), Encounter (ENR.asx), & Strictland (STK.asx) also get some time in the limelight with their respective announcements today. We save our big chat for Perenti’s (PRN.asx) bid to acquire fellow mining services business DDH1 (DDH.asx). A couple of months in and Money of Mine is already expanding to new (adjacent) sectors!
