G Mining Ventures to Acquire G2 Goldfields in $3 Billion Guyana Gold Consolidation
Event summary
- G Mining Ventures (GMIN) to acquire G2 Goldfields (G2) in a $3 billion deal, creating a Tier-1 gold mining hub in Guyana.
- Combined entity will produce over 500,000 ounces of gold annually, leveraging synergies from shared infrastructure and permitting.
- G2 shareholders to receive 0.212 GMIN shares per G2 share, plus ownership in a new exploration spin-off, G3 SpinCo.
- Transaction expected to close in Q2 2026, subject to shareholder and court approval.
- GMIN to unlock over C$1 billion in synergies, accelerating Oko-Ghanie’s permitting timeline by combining with fully permitted Oko West Project.
The big picture
This deal marks a significant consolidation in Guyana’s gold sector, creating one of the largest low-cost operations in the Americas. The transaction underscores the industry’s push for scale and operational efficiency amid volatile gold prices. GMIN’s strong balance sheet and free cash flow from its Tocantinzinho mine in Brazil position it to self-fund the combined project, reducing equity dilution risks for shareholders.
