OceanaGold Agrees to Buy Romarco Minerals in C$856 Million Deal -- Update
Font size: A | A | A
5:45 AM ET 7/30/15 | Dow Jones
By Robb M. Stewart
MELBOURNE, Australia--OceanaGold Corp. (OGC.AU) has agreed to buy Romarco Minerals Inc. (R.T) in an all-stock deal valued at 856 million Canadian dollars (US$660.2 million) that the companies say will create a low-cost gold producer with output of about 540,000 troy ounces a year.
In a joint statement Thursday, the companies said Romarco shareholders would receive 0.241 OceanaGold share for each of their shares. That works out to the equivalent of C$0.68 a Romarco share, a 73% premium based on the Tuesday closing prices for the companies on the Toronto stock exchange.
Upon the deal's conclusion, OceanaGold shareholders will own about 51% of the new company and Romarco investors the remainder, the companies said.
The merged company expects to have an "all-in" production cost of less than US$600/oz, with about 75% of output coming from New Zealand and the U.S. by 2017, the companies said. The enlarged mining company will also benefit from greater financial flexibility, they said.
The deal is subject to approval by shareholders of OceanaGold and Romarco, with votes scheduled for late September or early October.
National Bank Financial Inc. is acting as financial adviser to OceanaGold, while RBC Capital Markets is advising Romarco, the companies said.
OceanaGold's operations include New Zealand's largest gold-mining operation at the Macraes Goldfield in Otago and the Didipio gold-and-copper mine in the Philippines. Romarco's key asset is the flagship Haile gold mine in South Carolina, which the company expects to begin production by the end of 2016.

RTRAF is BOUGHT OUT!!
.72 a share
Woohoo!
Sage preach brother. I love this company and would love to jump back in. Just make me feel good about it.
Then, I assume you know nothing. I live in a nearby town, and I have friends who work the mine.
I am assuming they are out of business because I found nothing on them
looking like TLTL
Agree this has become far too risky at this point. They will serious funding to get through this mess. Will keep an eye, but don't see them not having more dilution before its all over. Too bad, but it might create an opportunity.
dilute to fund operation - end of story

it's an either or answer... if they can secure a benefactor to lend money and hold ownership... or dilute the stock and raise money with less ownership... or just take the profit and sell it all, but... Haile can make profit anywhere above pog $700 (+ -)
Price of gold is not going to make the debt part easy.
1) buy out
2) dilution
3) debt
Where does the other 250 million come from.
Ron Stewart Presents Juicy Gold Takeover Targets
"We look for good management teams, good balance sheets and projects that are not highly leveraged."
TGR: Which near-term U.S. gold producer are you keen on?
RS: Romarco Minerals Inc.'s (R:TSX) Haile mine in South Carolina is now fully permitted, and its debt is secured. The company still needs to complete its financing, but Haile is shovel-ready. Haile should produce 150–175 Koz per year for 10–12 years. Its reserve is about 2.6 g/t, which means an all-in sustaining production cost of less than $700/oz.
TGR: Until the company suspended exploration in 2013, Romarco was regularly getting outstanding assay results. Now that mine construction is close, will exploration recommence?
RS: Haile has a current gold reserve of 2 million ounces (2 Moz), with a Measured and Indicated resource of 4 Moz. So the possibility of expansion is already contained in the mining plan. Romarco's priority is money. It was successful in organizing a bank syndicate to give it a $200 million ($200M) term sheet, but it still needs to secure an additional $250M or so needed to build the mine. I would expect to see news on that front ahead of exploration news.
We believe that Haile will be built and that it will be a success. We've given Romarco an Outperform rating, with a target price of $1.15/share, which is over an 80% premium over its current share price.

Hiring begins for Haile gold mine in Lancaster County
BY DON WORTHINGTON
dworthington@heraldonline.comJanuary 23, 2015 Updated 16 hours ago
A view of Haile Gold Mine near Kershaw in southern Lancaster County.
FILE, GERRY MELENDEZ — gmelendez@thestate.com
Applications for the Haile gold mine near Kershaw in southern Lancaster County are being accepted by the SC Works office at 705 N. White St., Lancaster. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am. to 4 p.m. The office phone number is 803-285-6966.
Romarco Minerals is taking applications for its Haile gold mine near Kershaw in southern Lancaster County.
The hiring process begins as the Toronto-based mining company has secured all the necessary federal and South Carolina permits to mine the land where Col. Benjamin Haile discovered gold in 1827.
Romarco also is completing a $300 million finance package that will allow the company to move forward, Diane Garrett, Romarco’s president and chief executive officer, said Friday from the company’s local offices in Fort Mill.
The financing should be completed by Feb. 11, Garrett said.
With the financing in place, Romarco will begin to hire the 350 permanent workers needed to mine the microscopic gold.
Romarco is permitted to mine 2 million ounces, and the company believes there may be an additional 2.8 million ounces that would be economical to mine under current market conditions.
The price of gold Friday was about $1,294 per ounce and has frequently been above $1,300 recently. At $1,300 per ounce, the 2 million permitted ounces are worth $2.6 billion.
Garrett said the price of gold would have to drop to $750 an ounce for it to be uneconomical to mine the gold at the Haile site.
Romarco plans to use local contractors for construction of the mine’s infrastructure. Garrett said contractors would need about 1,000 workers.
Applications for permanent and construction jobs are being taken at the SC Works office at 705 N. White St. in Lancaster. Applications can be filed online or at the office, Garrett said.
Screenings of applications will be done by Romarco, and the company hopes to begin making offers to employees by the end of February, Garrett said.
Weather permitting, the company hopes to break ground at the Haile site in March. The first construction project will be a water treatment plant, Garrett said, followed by moving lots of dirt.
The mine will be the largest open-pit operation in the state, comparable to mines in the western United States. The mine would cover 2,500 of the site’s 4,000 acres, and pits could be as deep as 840 feet.
Construction is expected to take 18 months, with the first gold bar being poured by mid-2016, Garrett said.
“This has been seven years in the making; we’re very excited,” Garrett said.
Initially, Romarco had hoped to start pouring gold in 2013.
Getting the necessary permits took longer than the company anticipated. There are environmental concerns as gold mining at the Lancaster County site is expected to produce tons of hazardous liquid and solid waste of various kinds. Federal and state environmental laws are designed to make sure the waste does not contaminate surrounding lands, waters, fish and other wildlife.
Romarco will put up $10 million in cash to pay for any environmental damage and necessary cleanup. All told, Romarco is posting a bond of $65 million for cleanup work.

With the money that has already been spent, an extra $30 million in bond is nothing...and yes sir, I like that valuation in bold at the bottom! I was thinking more in the $1.60-1.70 range, but this one is a long hold anyway...not trading this one!
$RTRAF Yesterday Euro Pacific..Romarco Minerals Inc. Review of Haile Operating Permit Requested Event: Romarco reports that the Sierra Club has requested that the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) review the recently issued proposed Mine Operating Permit for the Company's 100%-owned Haile Gold project. The permit is the final major permit required for operations at Haile. ? Romarco notes that the Sierra Club’s request cited the reclamation plan and reclamation bonding. The Company says it does not believe the request has technical merit, and that the concerns raised have been fully reviewed and adequately addressed throughout the entire four-year permitting process. ? All About the Bond: Haile’s operating permit, which was issued on November 7, 2014 included provisions for the securing of a US$30M bond for reclamation and restoration after mining. Another $30M is required over the life of the mine for a total security of US$60M — 50% higher than Romarco’s consultants estimated, and the largest ever for a mine in the State. The Sierra Club reportedly doesn’t seek to stop mine development, but in its six-page request estimates US$100-500M for reclamation. Romarco notes that previous reclamation talks between it and the SCDHEC started with regulators estimating US$80M, and the Company, US$42M; the two subsequently agreed to US$60M. ? The Way Forward: Looking ahead, the stages and potential timelines for a SCDHEC Board review are as follows: ? The SCDHEC Board has 60 days to decline the request or hold a review; ? If no review is granted, or 60 days pass without a decision, the SCDHEC staff decision becomes the Final Agency Decision; ? If a review is granted, it must be held within 60 days of the request and the subsequent decision becomes the Final Agency Decision; ? Such decision can then be appealed (by either party) to the SC Mining Council within 30 days; ? A Mining Council hearing must then be held within 40 days, with a decision due within a subsequent 30 days; ? That decision could then be appealed (within 30 days) to an Administrative Law Court, where it would be subject to general litigation timelines. ? Already Passed Muster: It is important here to note that the Sierra Club reportedly last voiced concerns over the project in October of 2011, and Romarco reports that it has had no communication with the group until the recent request was filed. We also note that all major government agencies (incl. the US EPA) have signed off on Haile’s Environmental Impact Statement, which included details of the mitigation, and that all major permits have been issued. ? Timelines: Romarco currently has US$18M in cash, and has already had positive talks aimed at further extending a ~US$30M Caterpillar (CAT:NYSE, NR) equipment payment beyond March 2015. The Company says its cash position could carry it into Q315. As it stands, 85% of detailed engineering is complete, but work on the project has ceased pending outcome of the review request process. ? Valuation: With timing of the potential review process yet unknown, we refrain from altering timelines in our model, and reiterate our Speculative Buy rating and price target of $1.25/shr.
