What else do investors need to know?

Vault Minerals' board is seeking shareholder approval for a significant consolidation of its capital to streamline its register and align with ASX 200 peers. Management believes this move will address the perception issues tied to a low share price and help reduce day‑to‑day trading volatility.

The re‑election of experienced mining executive Mr Peter Johnston is also up for vote. He brings more than 36 years' experience and leadership from roles with Glencore, Minara, WMC Resources, and others.

What's next for Vault Minerals?

If approved, the share consolidation will come into effect on 14 November 2025, with trading of consolidated shares beginning shortly after. Shareholders will receive new holding statements and the company expects minimal tax implications from the restructure.

Vault Minerals aims to leverage a simplified capital structure to attract a wider pool of investors and support its strategy as a well‑capitalised, long‑life intermediate gold producer.
