The Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) has granted approval for the proposed takeover of Shanta Gold Limited by Saturn Resources Limited. Saturn Resources, is recently established entity in Kenya and specializes in gold exploration and holds mining licenses in the western region of the country.

Backed by its parent company, ETC Group, headquartered in Dubai, it has diverse investments spanning logistics, agrochemicals, insurance, fertilizers, and the distribution of fast-moving consumer goods.

According to CAK’ the acquisition of Shanta Gold by Saturn Resources aligns with local competition regulations. The authority conducted a thorough assessment of the merger’s potential impact on market competition, particularly analyzing the post-merger market share of the involved entities.

On the other hand, Shanta Gold, registered in Guernsey, focuses its mining operations primarily in East Africa, operating two gold mines in Tanzania.

CAK concluded that the transaction would not adversely affect the market structure or concentration of the gold prospecting market in western Kenya, as Saturn Resources operates in a distinct market segment. Moreover, CAK determined that the acquisition does not raise concerns regarding public interest, including potential job losses post-merger.

The authority assured that there would be no negative impact on employment following the completion of the transaction. Earlier approval for the takeover was also obtained from the Tanzanian Mining Commission, signaling progress in regulatory clearances for the acquisition by both Shanta Gold and Saturn Resources.
