Asiamet Resources Ltd (LON:ARS) shares surged higher on Tuesday as the firm said investor Aeturnum has finalised all its due diligence workstreams and now intends to start further investment talks.
In March, Aeturnum took a 19.9% stake in Asiamet, via a placing, and entered a period of exclusivity for a project level investment in the KSK Contract of Work asset which kicked off technical and commercial due diligence work that is now complete. Aeturnum now intends to enter talks for a partial or full acquisition of KSK.
