Central Asia Metals Plc (LSE:CAML) has increased its cash bid to A$0.065 per share in the proposed acquisition of New World Resources Limited (NWR), valuing the target at around A$240 million. This enhanced offer is part of a board-endorsed off-market takeover, which CAML has now declared unconditional. The bid remains open for acceptance until August 18, 2025, unless extended, and follows a rival offer from Kinterra priced slightly higher at A$0.066 per share. The deal aims to bolster CAML’s market standing and broaden its operational reach.
CAML continues to display strong financial health, supported by solid profitability and a robust balance sheet, alongside an attractive valuation. However, some weak technical signals reflect a cautious market outlook. The company’s strategic acquisition approach and operational consistency underpin its positive medium-term prospects.
