flag Fortescue to buy Alta Copper for C$1.40/share in C$139M all-cash deal, pending approval.

flag Fortescue has agreed to acquire the remaining 64% of Canada-listed Alta Copper for C$1.40 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately C$139 million. flag The offer, which represents a 50% premium to Alta’s 30-day average trading price and a 100% premium to its November 7 price, exceeds the company’s 10-year high. flag The deal, pending court and shareholder approval, allows Alta’s shareholders to receive immediate liquidity without further capital commitments or risks tied to advancing the Cañariaco copper project in northern Peru. flag Fortescue, already holding 35.7% of Alta, will fund the acquisition with existing cash and intends to vote against any alternative proposals. flag Closing is expected in the first quarter of 2026.
