JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Black economic-empowerment (BEE) company Amabubesi Property will acquire an additional 11% stake in Aim-listed Goldplat’s South African gold recovery subsidiary Goldplat Recovery for R29.5-million.

The BEE company already held a 15% stake in Goldplat Recovery, but would increase its shareholding to 26% in line with South African BEE legislation. The 26% BEE target has to be met before May 1, 2014.

In terms of a memorandum of agreement (MoA) signed by the parties, Amabubesi would make a 10% upfront cash payment on completion of the acquisition.

The remaining 90% would be vendor financed by Goldplat Recovery, with Amabubesi repaying the loan using its pro rata dividends.

The transaction valued Goldplat Recovery at R268.2-million, Goldplat stated.

“We are delighted to have signed this binding MoA with our BEE partners, ensuring that our South African gold recovery operation is 100% BEE-compliant well in advance of the May 1, 2014 deadline. 

“Amabubesi has been a very supportive shareholder since its initial acquisition in 2008 and we look forward to continuing this relationship into the future,” commented Goldplat CEO Russell Lamming.
