Under the terms of the Transaction, IRH will, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquire 718,990,967 common shares (the "Acquired Shares") of Alphamin (the "Common Shares") owned by Tremont, representing approximately 56% of the outstanding Common Shares, at a price of C$0.70 per share, for a total consideration of C$503,293,677 (US$367,001,749), subject to completion adjustments which may decrease total consideration in certain circumstances set out in the definitive agreement, including as a result of distributions, dividends and payments made to Tremont by Alphamin in Tremont's capacity as a shareholder of Alphamin or otherwise, or related to the Transaction which arise from September 30, 2024 to the date of closing of the Transaction, other than the dividend paid by Alphamin on November 4, 2024.
IRH Strategic Rationale for the Acquisition
This acquisition strengthens IRH's position in the global industrial metals sector, adding a majority interest in a highly productive and strategically important tin asset to its portfolio. Alphamin is one of the world's largest and highest-grade tin producers, playing a key role in supplying a critical raw material used in electronics, manufacturing, and industrial applications.
Ali Alrashdi – CEO of IRH, stated: "Alphamin's strong production profile aligns with our strategy of securing interests in high-quality mining assets with long-term growth potential."
Rob Still, Chairman of Tremont Master Holdings, commented:
"Following Tremont's 12-year history in exploring, evaluating and then building and operating the Bisie mine, we are now pleased to transfer our ownership stake to another long-term investor who shares our vision for the operation and our commitment to the region."
Closing of the Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others, the receipt of all regulatory and internal corporate approvals.
