RE: Ajax resources on my radar18 May 2025 20:50
I've been waiting for some time for Ajax to make a meaningful acquisition, especially as the share price has been drifting downward in the absence of clear progress. However, the news that they’ve acquired the Eureka project—and expanded its footprint—is encouraging. Once the suspension is lifted, this could trigger a sharp move upward in the share price, particularly given the limited number of shares in issue, which tends to amplify buying pressure.
At first glance, the deal looks highly attractive. Bezant Resources originally acquired Eureka in 2012 for $2.6 million, at a time when gold was around $1,600/oz and copper at $7,652/tonne. Today, gold trades at $3,200/oz (a 100% increase) and copper at $9,180/tonne (a ~20% increase), significantly enhancing the in-ground value of the asset.
Ajax has picked up the project for just $170,000—less than 7% of what Bezant paid. Given the favourable shift in commodity prices and the low entry cost, this appears to be a very strong deal on the surface.
As ever with these things, the devil is in the detail, but I would definitely say that this has the potential to move swiftly upwards after the carry out the inevitable raising. I already have a mid-size investment here but will be looking to top up once I deem the moment correct.
One to keep an eye on IMO.
