DLA Piper Canada is advising Siu Metals Corp. on its binding agreement with Aura Energy Limited (ASX: AEE; AIM: AURA) in which Siu Metals will acquire Aura’s Häggån polymetallic project in Sweden by way of a reverse takeover transaction and complete a CAD $10 million brokered private placement led by MDCP Securities Ltd., for an aggregate transaction value of CAD $50 million.

The transaction is expected to complete in the second quarter of 2026.
