"The highest price per ounce of gold acquired was offered in the unsolicited and yet-to-be-finalized bid by Fujairah Holding LLC to acquire all of Asante Gold Corp.'s issued and outstanding common shares that it does not hold. Should Asante accept the offer, Fujairah would hold all of Asante's Ghanaian assets, including the Chirano and Bibiani mines, which host most of the gold in R&R estimated in the transaction. Despite the offer being deemed a too-low price per share by Asante's board, it would amount to $177/oz of gold acquired in R&R, higher than the $123/oz that Newmont paid for Newcrest's metal. The lowest offer is a mere $49/oz in Calibre Mining Corp.'s acquisition of Marathon Gold Corp. in exchange for three mines, one of which, located in Canada, is in construction with a projected start date of 2025 and 5.1 Moz of gold in R&R."
