ASX Sharemarket News

In ASX sharemarket news, gold miner Resolute Mining Limited (ASX: RSG) announced that it’s going to acquire Toro Gold for US$274 million, a private low-cost producing gold mine in “mining-friendly” Senegal.

In 2018 it produced 157,000 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cost (ASIC) of US$655 per ounce.

The acquisition should provide immediate strong cashflow and the company has revised its FY19 guidance to 400,000 ounces at an ASIC of US$960 per ounce.
