Aurumin Schemes Effective: Brightstar Acquisition Set to Reshape Shareholding
Aurumin Limited’s acquisition by Brightstar Resources has been legally approved, triggering a share exchange and imminent delisting from the ASX.
- Schemes of arrangement legally effective following Supreme Court approval
- Aurumin shares suspended from ASX trading as of 21 November 2025
- Shareholders to receive one Brightstar share for every four Aurumin shares held
- Scheme consideration expected to be implemented on 2 December 2025

Legal Approval Clears Path for Acquisition
Aurumin Limited (ASX, AUN) has reached a pivotal milestone in its acquisition by Brightstar Resources Limited (ASX, BTR), with the schemes of arrangement now legally effective following orders from the Supreme Court of Western Australia. This formal approval marks the final regulatory hurdle, enabling the transaction to proceed as planned.
Trading Suspension and Share Exchange Details
Effective from the close of trading on 21 November 2025, Aurumin shares will be suspended from the ASX. Registered Aurumin shareholders as of 4, 00 pm AWST on 25 November 2025 will receive new Brightstar shares at an exchange ratio of one Brightstar share for every four Aurumin shares held. Similarly, Aurumin optionholders will have their options cancelled and replaced with new Brightstar options on the same ratio, aligning interests under the new ownership structure.
Implementation and Delisting Timeline
The issuance of Brightstar shares and options to Aurumin shareholders and optionholders is expected to occur on 2 December 2025. Following this, Aurumin will be officially removed from the ASX's official list at the close of business on 3 December 2025, marking the end of its independent public listing and the full integration into Brightstar’s corporate structure.
Strategic Implications for Shareholders
For Aurumin shareholders, this acquisition represents a significant transition, exchanging their holdings for stakes in a larger entity with potentially broader resource exploration capabilities. While the announcement does not detail the financial terms beyond the exchange ratio, the consolidation could offer enhanced scale and resource synergies under Brightstar’s management.
Looking Ahead
As the schemes move from legal approval to implementation, market participants will be closely watching the integration process and how Brightstar leverages the acquisition to strengthen its position in the mining sector. The delisting of Aurumin will also shift trading dynamics for former Aurumin investors now holding Brightstar shares.
Bottom Line?
With legal hurdles cleared, the focus now shifts to the practical rollout of the acquisition and its impact on shareholders and market dynamics.

- How will Brightstar’s strategy evolve post-acquisition of Aurumin’s assets?
