Zijin’s $5.5 billion takeover of Allied Gold (TSX: AAUC) was supposed to be a straightforward all-cash deal. Instead, the closing has now been pushed back multiple times, and the growing question is no longer whether shareholders liked the price — it’s whether China still wants to pay it.
In this video, we break down why the Allied Gold deal keeps getting delayed, what approvals have already been secured, and why the real holdup now appears to be on the Chinese side. We also look at how falling gold prices, shifting sector valuations, and jurisdictional risk in Mali may have changed the equation since the transaction was first announced.
