Paladin’s Fission Uranium Acquisition Hits a Chinese Roadblock

Paladin Energy (ASX: PDN) is facing hurdles in its attempt to acquire Fission Uranium (TSX: FCU) for C$1.14 billion. While the deal would create a global uranium leader, Chinese state-backed CGN Mining Company, which owns an 11.26% stake in Fission, has opposed the acquisition in court. The Supreme Court of British Columbia will make a final ruling on September 26. If successful, Paladin would gain access to Fission‘s Patterson Lake South project, significantly expanding its uranium footprint across Canada, Namibia, and Australia. The court’s decision will shape the future of this strategic acquisition. [more]
