“The takeover offers for Cardinal have played out over an extended period, but ultimately resulted in a strong outcome for all shareholders, of which Nordgold has been the largest. Nordgold has a strong record of capital discipline and cash flow generation, having built three global mines, each on time and on budget. In the case of Cardinal, the competitive bidding and strong Australian dollar, have taken Nordgold to a very substantial profit on its investment, whilst allowing us to continue always to prioritise capital discipline and maximise value for our shareholders.”
