Qatar-Backed QKR Corp. poised to takeover Nevsun's 60 percent share of the Bisha gold, copper and zinc mine in Eritrea for a $1 Billion Bid
Qatar-Backed QKR Corp. were poised to takeover Nevsun’s 60 percent share of the Bisha gold, copper and zinc mine in Eritrea for a $1 Billion Bid. That offer or any other better bid shall be determined anytime this year.

By CapEri,

IN recent months, Nevsun Resources (NYSEMKT: NSU) has been widely tipped as the next potential candidate for a merger and acquisition (M&A) in 2015.

The company’s strong cash flow balance sheet, low copper prices, increasing merger opportunities, and its strategic management team provide best condition for Nevsun to become the next M&A opportunity. 

Effects of a merger and acquisition would bring along a diversification out of Eritrea with improved future operating cash flow and an increase in the number of new shareholders.

This would set the stage for a higher valuation, according to analyst firm Raymond James.

With Nevsun’s Zinc expansion on schedule for commissioning, a peer leading dividend and underground upside potential at Bisha, the company is set to outperform.

In tradition with being associated as a reliable payer of solid dividends, Nevsun announced today that its Board has declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.04 per common share (US$0.16 per common share annually).

Stefan Ioannou (PhD) wrote, in a Haywood Securities research paper, that Eritrea will emerge as a world-class VMS mining district and that Nevsun offers the best entrance point to this potential with its Bisha mine and a number of other very good targets.
