Shanta Gold Limited is a gold mining company, registered in Guernsey in the Channel Islands but which operates in Tanzania. The company is listed on AIM on the London Stock Exchange (symbol: LON:SHG) and had a market capitalisation of £63.5M as of 18 September 2013.[2] The Tanzanian offices are in Dar Es Salaam. Its bankers are UBS.[3]
Overview
Shanta Gold is incorporated in Guernsey and maintains an office in Saint Peter Port.[4] Shanta's most important project is New Luika Gold Mine, in the Lupa Gold Field of south western Tanzania, which saw its first gold pour in August 2012.[5] The company's mines are all currently in Tanzania but projects elsewhere in East Africa are envisaged.[6] Shanta sub-contracts all aspects of the mining process in order to shorten the time taken for a new mine to become productive.
On 20 December 2023, Shanta Gold agreed to a £142 million buyout offer from Tanzania-based Saturn Resources, leading to the removal of its AIM listing.[7]
