Strategic Monetisation Options Now Open
With resource delineation substantially complete, Challenger is now evaluating multiple options to unlock the strategic value of its Ecuadorian portfolio:
- Listing the assets on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) via a spinout structure to capture valuation uplift in North American markets.
- A potential sale to realise immediate capital for advancing other core assets.
- A farm-in agreement with a major mining partner to drive development while retaining upside exposure.
These options will allow the Company to monetise its Ecuadorian holdings while channelling capital into its flagship Hualilan Gold Project in Argentina.
Lumina Acquisition Highlights Value of Challenger’s Ecuadorian Assets
The recent CAD$581 million acquisition of Lumina Gold by CMOC Singapore sets a strong valuation benchmark for Challenger Gold’s adjoining projects in Ecuador. Lumina’s 26Moz AuEq Cangrejos Project shares identical geology and grades with Challenger’s 9.1Moz AuEq, forming part of a larger mineralised system split only by a tenement boundary. Applying Lumina’s acquisition price of US$16/oz AuEq values Challenger’s 6.9Moz net attributable resource at AUD$174 million or AUD$25/oz AuEq, highlighting substantial strategic value and monetisation potential for the Company’s Ecuadorian portfolio.
