- Could Metals One deal trigger a rerating? Broker takes a deep dive
CREST Corporate broking has set a 6.1p price target for Metals One PLC shares, around a 360% premium to the current share price, after the company unveiled plans to take full ownership of South Africa's Lions Bay Resources (LBR). Its sum-of-the-parts valuation of £106.7 million compares with a current market capitalisation of £16.3 million, with about £85.5 million attributed to the Barbrook Gold Mine in Mpumalanga, based on a 20-year mine life, 960,000 ounces of underground gold plus 40,000 ounces from tailings and open pit work, and a gold price of US$4,000 per ounce. The model applies 25% discounts for transaction close risk and development stage, and the KC Energy Cogeneration Power Plant in Newcastle adds around £14.8 million. CREST acknowledges that the Barbrook model uses unverified assumptions and that a competent person's report is yet to be delivered, while Barbrook has been under business rescue since 2016, completion requires Section 11 consent for the transfer of mining rights, and a High Court challenge to the business rescue plan, heard on 12 October, awaits judgment. CREST also says the proposed installation of former Harmony Gold (NYSE:HMY) chief executive Graham B
- Lions Bay Resources Agrees to Be Acquired by Metals One to Form South Africa-Focused Gold and Power Business Led by Former CEO of the Nation's Largest Gold Producer
Lions Bay Resources (LBR) has signed a binding term sheet under which Metals One Plc (AIM: MET1; OTCQB: MTOPF) would acquire the LBR interests it does not already own, making LBR a wholly owned subsidiary on completion. The deal replaces a June 30, 2026 structure in which Lions Bay Capital Inc. (TSXV: LBI) would acquire 100% of LBR. It brings LBR's South African gold and power business into Metals One and is intended to provide capital market access for developing the Barbrook Gold Mine, which has a historical gold resource of 2.1 million ounces and an existing processing plant; a phased plan targets initial gold concentrate output within six months. LBR also owns a Newcastle cogeneration plant with a 6 MW steam turbine, independently valued at US$39.6 million. Completion of the Barbrook acquisition awaits final judgment in business rescue court proceedings held on October 12, 2026, and Graham Briggs, former CEO of Harmony Gold, is proposed as Chair of Metals One.
- SA Expands U.S. Gold Search With Slaughterhouse Project Acquisition
Seabridge Gold Inc. SA has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Slaughterhouse Project in southern Wyoming from Orogen Royalties Inc., including 163 U.S. mining claims and several years of geophysical, geological and sampling data. The purchase requires $300,000 upfront plus milestone payments of up to $2.55 million upon completing specified objectives. Orogen will keep a 2.5% NSR royalty on existing claims, subject to a partial buyback, and a 0.5-1% NSR royalty in a wider area of mutual interest. Seabridge aims to test the region's copper and gold occurrences, which have not undergone modern comprehensive exploration, for hematite IOCG deposits that can also contain critical minerals. The project remains at an early exploration stage, and its commercial potential depends on future exploration results and resource evaluation.
- Northern Star Resources takeover : Gold Fields pushes $38 billion merger plan to institutional shareholders
South Africa-based Gold Fields is taking its $38 billion takeover pursuit of Northern Star Resources directly to Australian institutional investors, hoping they will pressure the board into negotiations after it rejected the offer as “highly opportunistic”. If the deal succeeds, the combined group would be the world's second-biggest gold producer, controlling eight of Australia's 20 biggest gold mines and producing 4.1 million ounces a year. The initial offer was 0.3125 Gold Fields shares plus $7.25 in cash for each Northern Star share, valuing the company at $38.7 billion with a 22 per cent premium. Chairman Michael Chaney says the bid is now below Northern Star's share price, which is more than 10 per cent higher than the day before news of the approach leaked. Activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which holds a 6 per cent stake, is one of the top shareholders Gold Fields is trying to win over.
- Is SSR Mining (TSX:SSRM) Undervalued On Its New Marigold Mine Plan?
SSR Mining released a Technical Report Summary for its Marigold Gold Complex in Nevada, outlining a 20-year production blueprint and long-term mining schedule. The article notes the planned acquisition of Roxmore Resources and an expanded life-of-mine plan at Marigold, while the shares fell 7.21% in one day after a pullback over the past month. Despite this, returns remain strong, with 20.08% over 90 days, 47.65% year to date and a 3-year total shareholder return of 129.43%. The most-followed narrative on the platform puts fair value at CA$59.13 against a last close of CA$43.66, implying about 26% undervaluation under its assumptions. The article flags risks including uncertainty over the Çöpler restart and relatively high all-in sustaining costs at Seabee and Marigold.
- SSR Mining (TSX:SSRM) Stock Still Looks Undervalued After Expansion Deal
SSR Mining's share price has risen 129.4% over the past 3 years, and the company has agreed to acquire Roxmore Resources and its Converse gold project, funded from existing cash. The article says the stock trades on about 11.0x earnings, below the metals and mining sector average of about 14.7x and a peer group level of about 12.8x. Based on its own fair P/E model, it concludes the shares look undervalued. The deal could also change the timing of future production and cash flow for the company.

- In pictures: Initially peaceful protests across France over inequality again descend into violence
Mostly peaceful protests across France over rising living costs and inequality turned violent again at the weekend. France's Interior Ministry said 410,000 people joined rallies in several major cities, including Paris. In Paris, riot police used tear gas and water cannon against about 500 hooded youths throwing stones, while in Marseille, youths blocked streets, set fire to bins and threw rocks and bottles at police. The protests began when high school students in suburban Paris complained about poor school conditions, including teacher shortages. The yield on France's 10-year bond rose above 5% for the first time since 2002, settling at about 5.03% on Friday, and some investors fear the debt problems could spread across the euro zone.
- Cathie Wood Just Poured Millions Into 2 Nuclear Stocks -- and Neither Was NuScale Power
Ark Invest funds run by Cathie Wood bought shares of X-Energy and Oklo this week, though none of its ETFs hold NuScale Power.

- Gold Royalty Fell While It Turned A Profit
Gold Royalty reported record Q1 2026 revenue of US$7.2 million and net income of US$1.8 million, along with a larger undrawn credit facility and a reaffirmed multi-year production outlook. In Q2 2026, revenue was US$6.7 million with net income of US$1.8 million, versus US$3.8 million in revenue and a US$0.8 million loss a year earlier, and net margin moved from a loss-making 21.7% to a positive 26.5%. Even so, the shares fell from US$4.04 at the start of the year to US$2.83, leaving investors who held since then down 30.6% including dividends. At the start of the year, the bullish view put fair value at US$6.03 and the bearish view at US$3.25, and the article says the key question is whether royalty cash flows can grow sustainably enough to outweigh dilution, acquisition costs and gold price swings.
- Iran says it shot down US drone after Trump's warning
Iran's military said its air defenses shot down a US drone over the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, and Tasnim reported it was a US-made LUCAS drone. The incident came after President Trump said on October 24 that the US could strike Iran “as early as tomorrow” or reach a deal, and stated the goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He said Iran could avoid further military action by complying with an agreement, but was unsure of the next step. The Wall Street Journal reported that aircraft from the USS George Washington carrier group were being readied, and that the US had reportedly evacuated some diplomatic posts and military bases in the region. Mohamad Elmasry, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, said these signs point to a new round of fighting.
