交易產生了5.928億澳元的收入
NEW YORK, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Orion Resource Partners LP, a global investment firm specializing in metals and materials, has announced that three funds advised by Orion (collectively, "Orion") have collectively sold an 8.3% stake in Capstone Copper Corp. ("Capstone") (TSX: CS; ASX: CSC), a premier global copper producer operating across the Americas, for gross proceeds of approximately AUD $592.8 million. Following the transaction, Orion will continue to remain one of the largest shareholders in Capstone, with a 12% stake.
紐約,2024年4月11日 /PRNewswire/ — 專門從事金屬和材料的全球投資公司Orion Resource Partners LP宣佈,由獵戶座提供諮詢的三隻基金(統稱爲 “獵戶座”)(“Capstone”)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:CS;澳大利亞證券交易所股票代碼:CSC)8.3%的股份,總收益約爲澳元 5.928 億。交易完成後,獵戶座將繼續是Capstone的最大股東之一,持有12%的股份。
Orion's secondary sale was the first transaction under Capstone's recent ASX listing and attracted several new blue-chip investors including Australian superannuation funds, large institutional funds and Asian resource funds to Capstone's shareholder register. The transaction is expected to position the company to target inclusion in the ASX300 and ASX200 indices.
Orion的二次出售是Capstone最近在澳大利亞證券交易所上市的第一筆交易,吸引了包括澳大利亞養老金基金、大型機構基金和亞洲資源基金在內的幾位新的藍籌投資者進入Capstone的股東名冊。預計該交易將使該公司的目標是納入 ASX300 和 ASX200 指數。
The successive stake sell-down transactions, reducing Orion's stake from 32% in 2022 to 12% today, have enabled the diversification of Capstone's shareholder base and introduced global, blue-chip institutional investors to its register.
連續的股份拋售交易使獵戶座的股份從2022年的32%減少到今天的12%,這使Capstone的股東基礎得以多元化,並將全球藍籌機構投資者引入其登記冊。
The transaction highlights Orion's partnership with Capstone to create a leading copper producer in the Americas with a strong management team and high-quality assets. Capstone has continued its successful transformation from a private company into a leading global copper player with strong sustainability credentials that is dual listed on the TSX and ASX. Working together, Orion and Capstone have completed the largest offering by a Canadian company in the Australian market on record, and the second largest block trade on the ASX in the last 10 years for a mining company. Since the merger in 2022, Capstone's share price has increased 27%.
該交易凸顯了Orion與Capstone的合作,旨在創建美洲領先的銅生產商,擁有強大的管理團隊和高質量的資產。Capstone繼續成功地從一傢俬營公司轉型爲具有強大可持續發展資格的全球領先銅業公司,並在多倫多證券交易所和澳大利亞證券交易所雙重上市。Orion和Capstone共同完成了有記錄以來加拿大公司在澳大利亞市場上最大的一次發行,也是過去10年來一家礦業公司在澳大利亞證券交易所的第二大宗交易。自2022年合併以來,凱普斯通的股價上漲了27%。
Orion's partnership with Capstone Copper began when Orion backed the founding of Mantos Copper by John MacKenzie, a senior industry executive, in 2015 via the acquisition of two producing copper mines in Chile (Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde) with untapped and unrealized upside at a low point in the copper cycle. Working closely with the Mantos Copper leadership team, Orion was able to successfully restructure operating costs, extend mine lives, and permit and fully finance development projects at both mines. In 2022, Capstone Mining Corp. and Mantos Copper merged to form Capstone Copper, with a market capitalization of c. $4 billion. Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde underpin Capstone's strong asset portfolio today.
獵戶座與Capstone Copper的合作伙伴關係始於獵戶座於2015年通過收購智利兩座生產銅礦(曼託斯·布蘭科斯和曼托維德),支持高級行業高管約翰·麥肯齊創立曼託斯銅業,這兩個銅礦的上行空間尚未開發和實現,處於銅週期的低點。Orion 與 Mantos Copper 領導團隊密切合作,成功地調整了運營成本,延長了礦山壽命,並批准了兩個礦山的開發項目併爲其提供全額資金。2022年,凱普斯通礦業公司和曼託斯銅業合併成立了凱普斯通銅業,市值約40億美元。曼託斯·布蘭科斯和曼托維德支撐了Capstone當今強大的資產組合。
In addition, with Orion's support, Capstone has implemented and driven significant sustainability initiatives, supporting the company's commitment to the highest standards of sustainability. Capstone was awarded the Copper Mark last year at its Chilean operations, Mantoverde and Mantos Blancos.
此外,在Orion的支持下,Capstone實施並推動了重大的可持續發展舉措,支持了公司對最高可持續發展標準的承諾。去年,Capstone的智利業務Mantoverde和Mantos Blancos被授予銅標誌。
Istvan Zollei, Managing Partner of Orion Resource Partners LP commented: "This successful cross-border transaction marks several significant milestones for Capstone and mining markets. We are delighted to have helped oversee the emergence of Capstone as a leading industry player. Today's transaction further evidences the strength of Orion's partnership as an investor of choice for the world's premier metals producers."
Orion Resource Partners LP 的管理合夥人 Istvan Zollei 評論道: “這次成功的跨境交易標誌着Capstone和礦業市場的幾個重要里程碑。我們很高興能幫助監督Capstone成爲領先的行業參與者。今天的交易進一步證明了Orion作爲全球主要金屬生產商的首選投資者的合作伙伴關係的力量。”
John MacKenzie, a Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone, added: "Orion has been a responsible and engaged investment partner to Capstone since the creation of the company in the public merger in 2022, and before that, when its funds initially invested in Mantos Copper in 2015. We are excited to continue delivering transformational and sustainable growth with the support of our existing and new shareholders."
Capstone的創始人兼首席執行官約翰·麥肯齊補充說:“自2022年Capstone通過公開合併成立公司以來,以及在此之前,其基金於2015年首次投資曼託斯銅業時,獵戶座一直是該公司負責任和敬業的投資合作伙伴。我們很高興能在現有和新股東的支持下繼續實現變革性和可持續的增長。”
