Australian-listed Evolution Mining will fund an $A880m deal to acquire an economic interest in Glencore’s Ernest Henry mine in Queensland via a $A401m equity ­raising and debt. Evolution will acquire all future gold production at the mine, whose annual output is about 80,000 to 850,000 ounces per year, plus 30 per cent of future copper output. Ernest Henry is expected to have a remaining mine life of about 11 years. Evolution will also undertake further exploration at the mine.
