Toubani Resources Announces Holdings in Avanti Gold
Strategic cross-border investment validates DRC asset, but dilution and execution risks in emerging jurisdiction remain.

Executive Summary
- Toubani Resources Limited has entered into share purchase agreements to acquire a 19.9% stake in Avanti Gold Corp.
- The transaction is structured as a share and option exchange, valued at C$0.65 per Avanti Gold common share.
- Toubani will issue 72,893,944 ordinary shares (deemed price A$0.40) and 36,446,972 options (exercise price A$0.60, expiring in three years) to Avanti shareholders.
- The acquired shares represent approximately 19.9% of Avanti's issued and outstanding common shares.
- Toubani states there are no immediate plans to change Avanti's management or operations, reserving the right to adjust holdings based on market conditions.
- Closing is expected by July 20, 2026, with an early warning report filed with SEDAR+.
Material Impact
- Not an earnings release — no new results to assess; prior-period context: Avanti holds ~$23.1M CAD in cash with zero revenue and a ~$3.7M CAD net loss for the six months ended Oct 31, 2025.
- The C$0.65 reference price provides a near-term valuation anchor, trading slightly above the recent market range of $0.50–$0.57.
- The deal brings a strategic, cross-border partner (Toubani, an Australian junior) which validates the Misisi project's exploration potential without injecting immediate cash into Avanti.
- Dilution falls on Toubani's existing shareholders, not Avanti's, preserving Avanti's equity base.
- The transaction is an investment play rather than a merger or acquisition, meaning operational control and cash flow dynamics remain unchanged in the near term.
