Vancouver, BC – Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN: NSU) ("Nevsun" or the "Company") today announced that it has been advised by Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd. (SH:601899, SEHK:2899) ("Zijin") that Zijin has received the second of three required regulatory approvals from the People's Republic of China ("PRC") for Zijin's proposed friendly takeover bid of Nevsun (the "Offer").

The second PRC approval is from the Ministry of Commerce ("MOFCOM"). With the previously announced NDRC and today's MOFCOM approvals in hand, Zijin will submit, as soon as practicable, an application to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") for the third and final PRC regulatory approval required as a condition of the Offer.

As previously disclosed, Zijin's Offer for Nevsun is all cash consideration of C$6.00 per Nevsun share representing a premium of 57% over Nevsun's unaffected closing price of C$3.82 on May 7, 2018, the day Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin") first publicly announced its intention to acquire Nevsun. In addition, the Zijin Offer is C$1.25 per Nevsun share, or 26%, more than the C$4.75 per share hostile take-over bid for Nevsun launched by Lundin on July 26, 2018.

The transaction is also subject to approval under the Investment Canada Act and customary closing conditions. The Zijin Offer is not subject to any financing conditions.

The divi should not been paid considering the timok build. Right move to suspend.

I’m not sure we’re getting fair value at $4.40 on the tender.

NSU had alot of cash on hand and was looking to buy another mine and payed a dividend when i first bought. They purchased a not so lucrative mine and stopped the dividend but still had alot of cash on hand for the future so I held out and glad they finally got a takeover bid. I dont see what will make this move much higher after acquisition now unless metals start moving up alot. So my next question is what other smaller miners are out there with little debt and at least a little profitable?

Nevsun's Board of Directors Rejects Lundin Mining's Hostile Bid; Offer Does Not Recognize the Value of Nevsun's Assets; Company to Proceed with Full Strategic Review

Nevsun's Board recommends that shareholders REJECT the Hostile Bid and DO NOT TENDER YOUR SHARES

Vancouver, BC, -- Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN: NSU) ("Nevsun" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors, after careful consideration and receipt of the recommendation of a special committee of its independent directors (the "Special Committee"), and after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, has rejected the hostile offer by Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin"), to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Nevsun for C$4.75 per share in cash (the "Hostile Bid"). The Board unanimously recommends that Nevsun shareholders REJECT the Hostile Bid and not tender their shares. In the Board's view the Hostile Bid:

Fails to recognize the fundamental and strategic value of Nevsun's unique portfolio of producing and development assets, underpinned by the world-class Timok Project
Provides an inadequate premium for control, lower than precedent transactions
Is lower in value than previous transactions proposed by Lundin to Nevsun
Is lower in value than other alternatives which are expected to emerge

Nevsun Extends Mine Life at Bisha Zinc-Copper Mine

VANCOUVER, June 14, 2018 - Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX: NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN: NSU) ("Nevsun" or the "Company") announced today that, together with its Eritrean partner ENAMCO, Nevsun has approved an extension to the Bisha zinc-copper mine in Eritrea, self-funded by existing cash flows from Bisha. The open-pit extension adds 3.3 million tonnes of high-grade ore to the mill and extends operations through the full year 2022, resulting in additional payable production of 470 million pounds of zinc and 52 millions pounds of copper over this time frame. In addition to incremental production and revenue, the extension provides time for Bisha to advance assessment of the Asheli and Harena underground deposits and to consider further open-pit extensions.

Yep!!! This will consolidate at some point but this charge upward. This is ridiculously undervalued...

Quite the show!

Agreed 100%

Bid essentially just for timok and IMO the present value of timok is higher than the 1.5 billion bid.

Bisha alone generates a lot of cash flow to float this for the time being.

Offer was rightfully rejected. Also, I think there’s a lot more value that we’ll learn about over the next year. I really like how the CEO took control of this right out of the gate and has not over promised. Plenty of upside here.

The math seemed a little sketchy. That’s a purchase of their proposed mine at quite a discount. Granted it’s not developed yet and still needs that capital expenditure to get going.

Even at current copper/gold prices the buyout offer WAY TOO LOW. This symbol has a long way to go!

Interesting. Crazy post and premarket action due to a rejected buyout offer.

Nice Q1 report released today.

May not be in the short run but this symbol has a big move coming. Patience needed!

Also, I agree, I’ve picked up more any time it dropped to the 2.10 range over the last year. It’s been relatively predictable

Nice movement. Beginning to move out of that channel

Nevsun Advances Timok Upper Zone Copper-Gold Project with Release of Robust PFS

March 28, 2018

Vancouver, BC – Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN: NSU) (Nevsun or the Company) today announced the results of a pre-feasibility study ("PFS") for the Timok Upper Zone copper-gold project in Serbia ("Timok Project" or "Project"), one of the world's best development stage copper projects.

Nevsun CEO Peter Kukielski commented, "The PFS confirms the extraordinary value of our wholly-owned Timok Upper Zone project. This is a high-grade, high return, fully executable copper project in a supportive jurisdiction. The PFS is an important advance over our October 2017 Preliminary Economic Assessment and further de-risks the Project by improving confidence in the engineering details, metallurgical understanding, timeline to production and capital assumptions.

Seems to teeter from about 2.40 to 2.10 over and over. Bought and sold on the last two swings and I'm going to rebuy at this next downswing around 2.10 and lower. This stock is making me money but it seems very undervalued. I'd like to be long with it as I think it has huge potential but it was testing my patiences so I flipped it twice.

Prtomising report!


https://seekingalpha.com/article/4155514-nevsun-resources-progress-towards-bringing-timok-project-online?auth_param=va0m:1dacuph:1e5cdb68b8429608464b1d79766a2ea4&uprof=16

Buying opt for sure. Added a lot today. Telegraphed the divi suspension - and it was the right move. Total overreaction...

Is there a link to the news?

Whats everyones take on the news today? Another great Buying op in my opinion! grabbed a bunch @ 2.1

I believe he knows exactly what he’s doing.

He wrote a better PR today, and it is up .10 in aftermkt. They found another ore body at Timok, but what about Bisha drilling? Months now results have been held back.

Shouldn’t matter if one is Long term. I think it’s more under promise and over deliver as there’s definitely room to goose the PR value.

Doug, IMHO the only thing holding NSU back is Peter, his terrible IR skills. Copper/gold/zinc all fantastic. It will show up in price, just delayed because of Peter.

Another positive forecast:

Copper on course for its strongest year
by: Lara Smith | January 11, 2018

https://investorintel.com/sectors/gold-silver-base-metals/gold-precious-metals-intel/copper-course-strongest-year/

Breakout today, went thru 2.51 resistance, prior high

VANCOUVER , Jan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Nevsun Resources Ltd.(NSU) ("Nevsun" or the "Company") is pleased to report its 2017 fourth quarter and full year production results (100% basis) for the Bisha Mine in Eritrea for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Bisha Full Year 2017 Operating Highlights

Produced 207.8 million pounds of zinc in zinc concentrate, at the top end of its guidance of 190-210 million pounds
Produced 18.0 million pounds of copper in copper concentrate, below guidance of 20-30 million pounds
Produced 55.1 million pounds of zinc in Q4 2017 as zinc recoveries continued to improve in H2 2017 from H1 2017
Moved a record 5.3 million tonnes of material in Q4 2017

Peter Kukielski , Nevsun CEO, commented, "We continued to see positive results from our primary ore metallurgy improvement program in the second half of 2017 with zinc recoveries now consistently around 70%. A specialist contractor was brought in to oversee heavy mining equipment maintenance, which resulted in improved equipment availability and allowed Bisha to move a record amount of waste in Q4. This completed the necessary catch up on stripping of the Bisha pit to allow the mine to access and process 100% fresh primary ore in 2018."

Mr. Kukielski continued, "We look forward to providing the market with our 2018 outlook for both Bisha and Timok later this month."

Totally. Another buying oppt for anyone with long term strategy.

Oversold

TD AMERITRADE also put a buy on this

I’m sure he’s smart not suggesting otherwise. I just believe $3.00 is way too low. Further I believe a $3 offer would be immediately talked up by the company as too low.

thanks, the mkt was way to negative on NSU, guess starting to wake up.

fangster, my concern is it has been too low too long so shareholders would take a too low value on buyout. Sven has a fair amount of followers so this exposure is good, plus the China connection has not been reported before. We chat with each other, he is very smart.

Nevsun Resources (TSE:NSU) (TSE:NSU) was upgraded by equities researchers at Eight Capital from a “neutral” rating to a “buy” rating in a report released on Monday. The firm currently has a C$4.25 target price on the basic materials company’s stock, up from their previous target price of C$2.25. Eight Capital’s target price would suggest a potential upside of 77.08% from the company’s current price.

The video dives deeper into recent disclosures. Most of which has been disclosed but good nonetheless.

The comparative comment from prior mgmts to the current was immediately evident in peters info delivery. I like the under promise - over deliver approach.

While I believe and have said NSU is an interesting take over target, barring an offer that’s just too good it’s way too soon. There’s more value then the company is talking about in its disclosures.

This should be a $3.50 / $4.00 stock today with plenty of built in upside.

The SA article isn’t all that enlightening and the buyout price is too low.

Video TodayOn NSU. Yes,and like last Q the market was totally wrong. No surprises for me in CC except Peter is still ignoring Bisha. So the market was way too negative and stock went up when found out no reason to be negative.

Here is video today on NSU likley being bot out: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4118084-nevsun-serious-takeover-target-prices-video

Perfectly stated. However, the thing many don’t have these days is patience. The overall market is cruising so why wait for this.

I bought this knowing 3 - 5 years is the expected hold period. Big seller(s) got nervous pre earnings Tuesday/Wednesday giving us even bigger on sale prices again. No brainer add days.

This symbol is getting visibility with trading houses. Setting up nicely overall going forward...
