It is a 4.7% improvement from a previous 0.363 per share offer that Newcrest rejected, the miner disclosed on Monday. Newcrest shares surged as much as 14.4% to the highest level since May 2022. “The Newcrest board, together with its financial and legal advisers, is considering the indicative proposal,” the Australian gold miner said in a filling that was a response to media speculation over the weekend. The previous bid had been rejected because it did not provide enough value to shareholders, Newcrest said. Newmont did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Newcrest is a bit vulnerable at the minute with its leadership transition,” he added. Newcrest has been expected to announce a new chief executive this year after Biswas announced his retirement after eight years. Sherry Duhe, formerly chief financial officer, who joined Newcrest in February last year, is interim chief executive while a global internal and external search for a replacement is underway. Newcrest has been viewed as a target in recent years given its middling performance, but only a handful of buyers are big it enough to take it out, said an investment banker who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. Newmont, with a market value of $39.6 billion, is already the world’s biggest gold producer by market capitalisation and by ounces produced. Its last major deal was the $10 billion purchase of Goldcorp Inc in 2019.

Risks are growing for gold to break higher, Morgan Stanley in a note on Jan. 16, noting that its macroeconomists were now forecasting lower rates and a weaker U.S. dollar, in tailwinds for the metal. Morgan Stanley is looking towards a bull case of spot gold reaching $2,160 in the fourth quarter, up from $1,866 an ounce. (Reporting by Melanie Burton in Melbourne.
