Will it be a case of goodbye Hoover House this morning when Genesis Minerals and its would-be deal partner St Barbara emerge from trading halts that have been in place since April 4? Statements from both companies revealing the reshaped deal are expected to be out before trading today ahead of the lifting of the trading halts. Both companies went into the halts to allow a renegotiation of the complex deal that would have seen St Barbara takeover the stronger Genesis, then once merged, spin off its unwanted offshore gold mining assets. The new round of talks was aimed at trying to find a way to keep the original plan, revealed in late 2022 which would have seen the creation of a new miner called Hoover House. But problems at St Barbara's key WA mine in the March quarter and a rising debt burden for the company wrecked the original deal. That forced the trading halts and new talks which went nowhere up to late last week when news of a new arrangement emerged.
