Cygnus Metals Sets September 18 Scheme Meeting as Kazakhstan Approval Timing Clouds CAML Takeover
Cygnus Metals Limited has reminded shareholders that its Scheme Meeting to approve the proposed acquisition by Central Asia Metals PLC will be held at 2.00pm AWST on 18 September 2026 in Perth, with voting open to shareholders on the register at 5.00pm AWST on 16 September 2026. Under the scheme of arrangement, CAML will acquire 100% of the shares in Cygnus. North Macedonian merger clearance has been obtained, the Independent Expert has concluded the Scheme is fair and reasonable and in the best interests of Cygnus shareholders absent a superior alternative, and CAML shareholders have approved the resolution to allot the New CAML Shares. The Toronto Stock Exchange has conditionally approved the listing of CAML shares including the New CAML Shares, though this is not a condition precedent. The Kazakhstan regulatory approval condition precedent remains in process, with the statutory timetable requiring a decision by no later than Thursday, 1 October 2026, meaning it may not arrive before the Scheme Meeting or the current Second Court Date of 23 September 2026; if it does not, Cygnus may apply to defer the Second Court Date or seek approval to treat the Kazakhstan approval as a condition subsequent, and CAML has said it is not aware of any specific reason the approval will not be received in the ordinary course. Each Cygnus Director recommends shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme and intends to vote any shares they own or control in favour, absent a Superior Proposal and subject to the Independent Expert continuing to conclude the Scheme is in the best interests of Cygnus shareholders.
Goldman Calls Freeport-McMoRan Selloff an Overreaction After Copper Tariff Report
Goldman Sachs analyst Nick Cash reiterated his Buy rating on Freeport-McMoRan, calling the market's reaction an overreaction after a Reuters report said the Trump administration has not yet decided on refined copper tariffs. Freeport-McMoRan shares fell 7% in Thursday's trading, and copper futures traded 3% to 5% lower, as markets unwound some pricing of potential tariffs. An announcement has been expected on whether the U.S. would impose a 15% tariff on copper cathode, potentially starting in January 2027 and then rising to 30% in 2028. Cash said the publication provided no new information on whether policymakers will implement tariffs or continue to delay commentary on them, and that the stock's sudden drop has given investors an attractive entry point.
Copper Miners Tumble as White House Tariff Doubt Halts Record Rally
Copper mining stocks reversed a record rally in a single session after reports cast doubt on White House tariffs covering refined copper. Freeport-McMoRan fell 8% to $70.43, Southern Copper dropped 7% to $195.66, and Teck Resources slid 7% to $65.08, while the Global X Copper Miners ETF lost 7% as its three largest U.S.-listed constituents led the decline. Benchmark three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange fell 3.1% to $14,312 per metric ton after touching a record $14,875 earlier in the same session, as officials weighed how higher prices would feed into manufacturing costs. Despite the slide, Freeport-McMoRan remains up 40% year to date, Southern Copper 42%, and Teck Resources 36%. Freeport is the most copper-levered name in the peer set and still carries an operational overhang from the September 2025 mud-rush at Grasberg in Indonesia, while Teck is midway through a pending combination with Anglo American targeting $800 million in annual pre-tax synergies.
Cygnus Metals Limited announced that Central Asia Metals PLC shareholders approved the resolution to allot new CAML shares for the proposed acquisition of Cygnus at an extraordinary general meeting on September 4, 2026. This approval satisfies one of the conditions required for the scheme to proceed, though other conditions remain. Additionally, CAML has engaged Bell Potter to assist eligible scheme shareholders with opening CREST-enabled accounts and dematerialising their new CAML shares, with no transaction costs for 12 months from implementation. Cygnus directors recommend shareholders vote in favor of the scheme at the upcoming scheme meeting.
