NewGen Announces Proposed Reverse Merger with SAXA, Inc. in a $5 Billion Mining Asset Acquisition Deal, Involving Gold, Silver, and Rare Earth

NewGen will issue 500 million shares at US$10 to acquire the mining assets, substantially boosting shareholders’ equity and transforming the merged entity into a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate November 03, 2025 09:00 ET | Source: NewGenIvf Limited BANGKOK, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIVF Group Limited (Nasdaq: NIVF) (“NewGen” or the “Company”), a tech-forward, diversified, multi-jurisdictional high-growth entity transforming industries through innovative solutions across real estate development, digital asset management and reproductive health solutions, today announced the execution of a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) regarding a proposed reverse merger (the “Proposed Transaction”) with SAXA, Inc. (“SAXA”), an international holdings company focused on mining and processing operations. To facilitate the due diligence process, the Company has engaged with an international mining consultancy firm, with over thirty years of global experience in the mining industry and operations across Asia, Africa and the Americas, to conduct a technical review of the mining projects involved in the Proposed Transaction. The Proposed Transaction is expected to provide NewGen with access to SAXA’s portfolio of mining assets originally valued at US$11 billion, including an NI 43-101 validated gold and silver mine with 1.9 million ounces of gold and 4.4 million ounces of silver in measured reserves. A planned G.E.M.S. dual processing facility, designed as a US$1.5 billion state-of-the-art integrated hub for processing both precious metals and rare earths, positions the combined entity to capitalize on the growing demand for critical minerals essential to U.S. national security and industrial applications. Mr. Alfred Siu Wing Fung, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NewGen, commented, “I am excited to announce that we have executed a non-binding term sheet to pursue a proposed reverse merger with SAXA. This potential transaction represents a transformational strategic opportunity that will create massive shareholder value, and we believe it aligns perfectly with our vision of diversification and the pursuit of new opportunities across industries. Rare earth and precious metals mining is a highly lucrative industry, as the materials mined have applications in technologies ranging from semiconductors to renewable energy to electric vehicles and more. Recent U.S. policy shifts aimed at establishing a domestic rare earth supply chain make this a prime time to pursue involvement in this key sector. We believe SAXA’s expertise and existing assets establish them as the perfect partner for us to work with as we pursue this initiative. We look forward to providing further updates as this strategic process unfolds.” Jay Genesi Saxa, Chief Executive Officer of SAXA, Inc., commented, “With this merger, SAXA has arrived. We now unite our full portfolio of gold and rare earth mines with NewGenIVF’s expansive holdings, including the UAE development, and pair them with direct access to the NASDAQ. This positions SAXA as a global force in natural resources and capital markets. This is not just a milestone — it is the launch of a new era for our company and our shareholders.” The Proposed Transaction Pursuant to the Term Sheet, it is proposed that NewGen issue 500 million new Class A ordinary shares at a price of US$10.00 per share, representing an aggregate amount of US$5 billion, to the shareholder(s) of SAXA or their respective nominees (the “SAXA Shareholders”) in exchange for the contribution of specific assets (the “Assets”) from SAXA to NewGen or a new wholly owned subsidiary of NewGen. The assets to be contributed are (i) SAXA’s Arizona mine, with a mineral resource estimate totaling approximately US$7.3 billion; and (ii) SAXA’s California mine, with an extrapolated potential revenue estimate of US$8.8 billion. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is proposed that NewGen issue an additional 50 million new Class A ordinary shares at a price of US$5.00 per share, representing an aggregate amount of US$250 million, as part of a fundraising initiative. Following the transaction, the US$5 billion valuation divided by the planned total of 582 million shares is expected to result in a Net Asset Value of about US$8.6 per share for the assets injected. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, SAXA Shareholders are expected to hold an 85.89% ownership position in NewGen, with SAXA having the right to nominate a majority of NewGen’s directors. Mr. Alfred Wing Fung Siu and Ms. Tina Hei Yue Fong will continue to serve as executive directors of the combined entity. The Company expects to announce additional details regarding the Proposed Transaction when a definitive agreement is executed. The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to, among other matters, the completion of due diligence, the negotiation of a definitive agreement, obtaining adequate financing, satisfaction of the conditions negotiated therein, and approval of the Proposed Transaction by the board and stockholders, as and when applicable. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all.
