• Ida Metal Investments applied to Panel regarding Zenith Minerals takeover
• Concerns raised over Forrestania's acquisition of Zenith shares
• Application seeks voiding of acceptances and corrective disclosure

The Takeovers Panel has received an application from Ida Metal Investments, a substantial shareholder in Zenith Minerals, challenging the takeover bid by Forrestania Resources. Ida Metal Investments alleges that Forrestania acquired Zenith shares under a confidentiality agreement, which should have prevented such acquisitions. The application also claims that the acquisition of the Edna May Mine by Forrestania altered its capital structure and risk profile, impacting the value of the scrip consideration offered to Zenith shareholders. The applicant seeks to void acceptances received before 29 June 2026, cancel performance rights issued to Zenith directors, and obtain an independent expert's valuation of the takeover offer.

No specific financial guidance provided in the announcement.
