Former small cap darling New Found Gold (TSXV: NFG) is evidently itching to become a producer. The company this past Friday announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Maritime Resources (TSXV: MAE) after a month of negotiations.
The focal point of the acquisition appears to be Maritime’s Hammerdown property, which is set to see production commence in early 2026, more than a year ahead of New Found Gold’s own timeline to get to production. Mix in some claimed synergies, and well, you’ve got yourself a deal.
Except the market doesn’t seem to be a fan of this one, with both names trading down about 5% at the time of recording.
