LONDON - ACG Metals Limited has disclosed the engagement of ABG Sundal Collier ASA and Stifel Europe AG as Joint Lead Managers to organize a series of investor meetings starting today, with the potential issuance of a new USD-denominated senior secured bond. The bond, with a four-year term, is contingent on market conditions and aims to fund the expansion of the Gediktepe Mine in Türkiye, refinance existing debts, and cover general corporate needs.
The Gediktepe Mine, acquired by ACG in September 2024, is currently an operating open pit mine producing gold and silver. The company plans to shift its focus to primarily copper and zinc production starting in 2026, with an anticipated annual copper equivalent output of 20-25 thousand tonnes.
ACG's strategy involves consolidating the critical metals industry, initially targeting the copper sector, to become a key supplier to the western Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) supply chain. The company emphasizes its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and aims to maintain a low carbon footprint.
The announcement of the bond financing follows ACG's broader goal to strengthen its position in the critical metals market. Artem Volynets, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for releasing this information on behalf of ACG.
This move is part of ACG's vision to become a premier copper and critical metals supplier with strong ESG credentials. The company has a track record of mergers and acquisitions, backed by a management team with extensive experience in the sector.
Further updates regarding the bond issue will be communicated as developments occur. The information in this article is based on a press release statement.
