An opportunity arose to transform Sandfire Resources' portfolio through an ambitious acquisition that would become a landmark transaction for both Sandfire Resources, Macquarie Capital and the broader sector. 1
Macquarie provided a comprehensive advisory and funding solution through its resources advisory and equity capital markets teams, working collaboratively with Macquarie’s Commodities and Global Markets Mining Finance team with its role as a lender in the $US650 million acquisition facility.
Outcome
With Macquarie’s help Sandfire Resources completed this acquisition and secured a significant long-life copper asset which establishes a base in the region for a multi-decade of operations, with copper becoming increasingly valuable and critical to the electrification theme driving the energy transition.
