Morning Briefing: Loncor Acquired for C$261M, Collective Raises C$140M
from Mining Stock Daily · host Trevor Hall
Good morning and welcome to the Tuesday, October 14th edition of Mining Stock Daily. Filling in for Trevor Hall, Michael McCrae reported that while markets are sliding—with Bitcoin, oil, and the S&P all down—gold remains steady, with December futures flat at around $4,128. Market volatility followed former President Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on China, which he later partially retracted, prompting China to vow retaliatory sanctions. The briefing, sponsored by Vizsla Silver, highlighted the company’s progress in developing the Panuco-Copala silver-gold district in Sinaloa, Mexico, where it has drilled over 375,000 meters and consolidated one of the world’s largest undeveloped high-grade silver resources. In company news, Loncor Gold agreed to be acquired by Chengtun Mining Group in a C$261 million all-cash deal at C$1.38 per share, marking a 33% premium over the 30-day VWAP, with major shareholders supporting the transaction. McEwen Mining announced the acquisition of Canadian Gold in an all-stock deal valuing shares at C$0.60, gaining control of the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project in Manitoba. Benz Mining reported strong drill results from its Glenburgh project in Western Australia, intersecting 79 meters at 4.4 g/t gold and expanding its multi-lens gold system to 350 meters in strike length and open at depth. Scorpio Gold released encouraging assays from its Manhattan District project in Nevada, with highlights including 10.07 g/t Au over 5.94 meters and 5.49 g/t Au over 7.32 meters. Collective Mining closed concurrent financings totaling C$140 million, including a bought deal led by BMO and Scotia and a C$15 million private placement with Agnico Eagle, to fund exploration at its Guayabales Project in Colombia. American Pacific Mining underscored the national significance of its Palmer VMS Project in Alaska, citing its 980,000 tonnes of indicated and 3.05 million tonnes of inferred barite resources as key to reducing U.S. dependence on imported critical minerals. On the production front, G Mining Ventures reported 46,360 ounces of gold output from its Tocantinzinho Mine in Brazil, up 9% from Q2; Orla Mining produced 79,645 ounces despite earlier operational setbacks at Camino Rojo; and Avino Silver & Gold Mines generated 580,780 silver equivalent ounces, slightly down due to normal sequencing adjustments.
