Thomson Geer advises Fortescue on A$254m acquisition of Red Hawk Mining
Thomson Geer has advised global metal mining company, Fortescue Ltd. on its successful off-market takeover of iron ore explorer Red Hawk Mining Ltd. for A$254 million.
The acquisition gives Fortescue access to Red Hawk's Blacksmith iron ore deposit, which is proximate to Fortescue's current operations in the Pilbara, Western Australia.
Thomson Geer advised Fortescue on all aspects of the acquisition, including the structuring, regulatory aspects, due diligence and execution.
The off-market takeover was unanimously supported by Red Hawk's Board.
The Thomson Geer team was led by Partners Scott Gibson and Michael Ng, who said: "We are pleased to have been able to assist Fortescue on this significant acquisition that will see it expand its access to iron ore reserves in the Pilbara. The meticulous planning and execution of the transaction is a credit to Fortescue's talented and hard-working corporate development team led by Kristen Pelc and supported by Piyush Radkar and Riley Kemp."
Scott and Michael were supported by Senior Associate Kajal Parmar and Lawyer Tom Coleman.
