WIN Metals to buy Western Australia's Radio gold mine
The acquisition encompasses a suite of tenements, mining and processing assets, accommodation facilities, vehicles, and other equipment.
WIN aims to leverage the A$30m ($19.3m) investment by previous owners to implement a strategy that includes underground development and potential shallow open pits.
The transaction terms include an upfront payment of A$500,000 and a share consideration of A$400,000, with a deferred stepped royalty on gold sales.
Completion is subject to regulatory and third-party approvals, and the consideration shares will be issued under WIN's placement capacity.
The Radio gold mine, situated 38km north of Southern Cross in Western Australia's Yilgarn region and approximately 400km east of Perth, is ready to restart operations, with essential infrastructure in place.
This includes development to the second level, mobile mining equipment, power generators, compressed air and a processing facility that is 70% complete.
The 2018 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) reports a total resource of 210,000 tonnes (t) at 4.23 grams per tonne of gold, equating to 28,600oz of gold.
WIN Metals managing director and CEO Steve Norregaard said: 'Radio represents a fantastic opportunity for WIN to acquire a fully permitted gold mine capable of generating near term cash flow harnessing the current elevated gold price.
'The site is fully prepared to restart underground production, with a partially completed processing facility and significant operations-ready infrastructure that has the potential to allow WIN to consider the option of processing its own ore and reducing dependence on delayed payments often associated with toll milling."
WIN has identified open-pit opportunities and plans approximately 7,000m of shallow drilling to delineate resources. An updated MRE will inform mining studies to exploit these gold targets.
The company also intends to assess the potential of processing plant investment by the previous owners and explore underground mining opportunities at the Radio deposit.
The deposit remains open, with no drill-holes exceeding 260m, indicating potential for further mineralisation at depth.
'WIN will initially evaluate short-term open-pit opportunities near existing workings at Radio Repeater, Radio South and the central near-surface Radio resource. These targets, believed to have been previously overlooked, could potentially deliver immediate cash flow,' Norregaard added.

Japan beats rival for $10bn Aus deal
A Japanese shipbuilder has beaten a German bid to build Australia's new frontline warships, the Albanese government has unveiled. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will build 11 Mogami-class frigates to replace the ANZAC-class fleet, which Australia has been operating since World War II. Announcing the deal alongside Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles, Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy said the boats would create a 'bigger' and 'more lethal' Royal Australian Navy. 'Ladies and gentlemen, in terms of cost, capability, and meeting our schedule of delivery, the Mogami-class frigate was the clear winner,' Mr Conroy told reporters at Parliament House. 'The cost of acquisition of all three designs examined were comparable but, over the whole of life, the cost of the Mogami is much lower. 'The Mogami-class stealth frigate is in production right now. 'It was the only option that met the government's timeline of first frigate being delivered in 2029.' While the first three ships will be built in Japan, the remainders will be built at Henderson Defence Precinct in Western Australia. The 'continuous pipeline' plan will directly support an estimated 10,000 jobs. The first of the three frigates is slated for delivery in 2029 and expected to enter service in 2030, while the third is expected to enter service by 2034. It beats the former Coalition government's time frame to replace Australia's combatant fleet by four years. With a range of up to 10,000 nautical miles, the new ships come with a 32 cell vertical launch system and surface-to-air and anti-ship missiles. The 'next-generation vessel' is also compatible with Australia's other advanced defence gadgetry the Albanese government has ordered over the next decade. The Japanese ship beat a design put forward by Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. Defence originally recommended the German MEKO A-200, mostly due to cost. But Mr Marles, who is also defence minister, said the Mogami was simply the 'best ship'. 'The Mogami is absolutely the best ship,' he said. 'And that was very clear in all the advice that we received.' Mr Conroy echoed his cabinet colleague and his earlier comments. 'On cost, capability and schedule, the Mogami was the clear winner on all three factors,' he said.

Steelcase (SCS) Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
What Happened? Shares of office furniture manufacturer Steelcase (NYSE:SCS) jumped 65.8% in the afternoon session after the company was acquired by HNI Corporation (NYSE: HNI) in a cash and stock deal valued at approximately $2.2 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Steelcase shareholders received $7.20 in cash and 0.2192 shares of HNI common stock for each of their shares. The deal, expected to close by the end of 2025, resulted in HNI shareholders owning about 64% of the combined entity, while Steelcase shareholders retained the remaining 36%. Is now the time to buy Steelcase? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Steelcase's shares are not very volatile and have only had 7 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for Steelcase and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 4 months ago when the stock gained 13% on the news that the company reported an impressive fourth quarter 2024 results which blew past analysts' EPS expectations, while sales were in line. What stood out was a big 12% jump in new orders in the Americas region, which management attributed to broad-based demand from large corporate and government clients. Adding to the positive aspect, revenue and EPS guidance for the next quarter outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Steelcase guided for 5–9% organic revenue growth, indicating confidence in backlog conversion. Zooming out, we think this was a good quarter with some key areas of upside. Steelcase is up 44.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $16.85 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Steelcase's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,559.
