Greatland Gold wants to list on the ASX within six months after agreeing to pay up to $US475 million ($713 million) for Newmont Mining’s stakes in the Telfer and Havieron gold and copper assets.

Almost $US334 million worth of new Greatland shares will be issued to help pay for the deal, with Andrew Forrest’s private company Wyloo set to subscribe for up to $US100 million to maintain its shareholding in the London-listed junior.
