King and Wood Mallesons (KWM) is pleased to have acted for Greatland Resources Limited (ASX:GGP) (Greatland) on Greatland’s IPO and cross-listing on ASX and AIM. Greatland debuted on the ASX on 24 June 2025 with a market capitalisation of $A4.9 billion.
Greatland is a leading new Australian gold-copper producer that owns and operates the Telfer gold-copper mine and adjacent world-class brownfield Havieron gold-copper development project, both in the Paterson region of Western Australia.
Under the IPO, Greatland raised a total of A$50 million from the issue of new Greatland shares and gross sale proceeds of A$440 million resulted from a selldown of existing holdings, resulting in a final Australian offer size of A$490 million.
The KWM deal team was led by Corporate M&A Partner Nigel Hunt, Senior Associate Allison Warrier, Solicitors Nancy Zheng and James Simpson, and Law Graduate Luca Zimmermann, with support from Partner Amanda Isouard, Special Counsel Caroline Tait, Senior Associate Brenda Valdez, and Solicitors Brodie Coyle and Jordan Fazzari, as well as specialist input from across KWM’s deep expertise in mining, environmental, tax, foreign investment and insurance.
KWM advised on all aspects of the transaction, except the UK and foreign law elements, building on a longstanding relationship with Greatland and its board and management team.
Commenting on the IPO and ASX listing, Nigel Hunt said:
“Congratulations to Greatland on this very significant milestone. After working with Greatland on the transformational acquisition of 100% of Havieron and Telfer last year, KWM is delighted to have supported Greatland on its ASX listing. ASX is the natural listing venue for Greatland and its portfolio of Australian assets, and that enhanced capital markets profile is a really important part of the company’s future development.”
This transaction builds on KWM’s outstanding equity capital markets capability and experience, particularly in a cross-border context.
