Wards Well Acquisition
On April 16, 2024 the Company acquired the southern part of the Wards Well tenements (Wards Well) which are adjacent to the Company’s Centurion Mine in Queensland, Australia. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The acquired asset was measured at the cost of the acquisition based on the total consideration, allocated on the basis of relative fair value. The total consideration of $153.4 million, consisting of cash consideration of $134.4 million, cash transaction costs of $9.4 million and the non-cash settlement of existing receivables with the acquiree of $9.6 million, was recorded in “Property, plant, equipment and mine development, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.
The agreement also included an initial contingent royalty of up to $200 million. The royalty will only be payable once the Company has recovered its investment and development costs of Wards Well and if the average sales price achieved exceeds certain thresholds. No royalty is payable if the Company does not commence mining Wards Well. The Company will adjust the cost basis of the assets acquired if and when the contingent royalty is paid or becomes payable.
