China's biggest gold producer bids $545mln for Indophil

SYDNEY, Dec 1 AAP - China's largest gold producer Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd had made a $545 million takeover bid for gold and base metals explorer Indophil Resources Ltd.

The offer of $1.28 cash per share for the Melbourne-based target, which has projects in the Philippines including Tampakan, has been recommended by the Indophil board in the absence of a superior offer.

"This is an excellent outcome, which unlocks value for

Indophil's shareholders from the company's minority ownership position in the world-class Tampakan copper-gold project," Indophil chairman Brian Phillips said in a statement on Tuesday.

He said Zijin's proposal recognised Tampakan's inherent value and followed a review by the board, management and advisers of a range of strategic alternatives and proposals from interested parties.

"It is also a positive outcome for the project and the people of the Philippines - Zijin is well positioned to fund its share of Tampakan's capital expenditure estimate of $US5.2 billion ($A5.68 billion)," Mr Phillips said.

Indophil last traded on Monday at $1.085 a share.
