Allied Gold Announces Closing of Strategic Investment by Zijin Gold
TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Gold Corporation (TSX: AAUC, NYSE: AAUC) (“Allied” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced strategic investment by Zijin Gold International Company Limited (“Zijin Gold”) by way of a non-brokered private placement of 12,800,000 common shares of the Company (“Shares”) at a price of C$32.55 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$416,640,000 (the “Strategic Investment”).
The net proceeds of the Strategic Investment are expected to be used by the Company for the continued advancement of its growth initiatives, including operational optimizations, the completion and ramp-up of Kurmuk, the phased expansion of Sadiola, production increases at the CDI Complex, and exploration efforts across the Company’s portfolio.
With the completion of the Strategic Investment, Zijin Gold holds approximately 9.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company and is entitled to customary participation and top-up rights to maintain its pro rata equity ownership interest until such time as Zijin Gold’s equity ownership interest in Allied falls below 5 percent on a non-diluted basis.
The Shares issued pursuant to the Strategic Investment are subject to a hold period of four months and one day ending December 11, 2026, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Allied's Chairman and CEO and the Company's Vice Chairman have voluntarily agreed to enter into lock-up agreements for the same period as Zijin Gold’s statutory hold period in connection with the private placement.
