Cape Alumina to merge with MetroCoal
During the last quarter, MetroCoal Limited (ASX: MTE) and Cape Alumina Limited (ASX: CBX) signed a Merger Implementation Agreement (MIA) which proposes to combine the companies to create a diversified bauxite and thermal coal business with a staged development pipeline.
In a joint announcement to the ASX, MetroCoal Chairman Stephen Everett said the merger would deliver significant benefits for both companies, including increased near-term development opportunities, a strengthened balance sheet, increased trading liquidity and enhanced access to capital markets.
"The proposed merger will create a Queensland-based, diversified bulk commodities company with a portfolio of major bauxite and thermal coal projects which will provide resilience through commodity cycles," Mr Everett said.
"The immediate priority of the merged company will be to develop Cape Alumina's bauxite assets on western Cape York, in particular the flagship Pisolite Hills mine and port project near Mapoon, to capitalise on the strong and growing global market
for bauxite and to generate a positive cash flow for the company.
"The merger provides an immediate cash injection from MetroCoal to Cape Alumina, through a $3 million convertible note, which will allow Cape Alumina to progress the technical and environmental studies required for the Pisolite Hills project to gain the necessary government approvals.
