Major shareholders of Cygnus, owning approximately 29% of Cygnus shares, have confirmed their intention to vote in favor of the Scheme.

Central Asia Metals FY2026 production guidance: 12,000-13,000 tonnes of copper cathode, 18,000-20,000 tonnes of zinc-in-concentrate, and 26,000-28,000 tonnes of lead-in-concentrate.

Outlook

The acquisition is expected to add meaningful growth to CAML's annual copper-equivalent output and cash flows. The transaction is consistent with CAML's strategy to enhance long-term cash generation.
