The merger, which will be completed via a scheme of arrangement, will create a significant mid-tier gold mining business.

Bendigo, advised by Minter Ellison, will acquire all ordinary shares in BCD, advised by Mills Oakley.

BCD shareholders will receive 0.72 Bendigo shares for each BCD share held, thus implying a combined market capitalisation of $162 million.

Shareholders are expected to vote sometime in November this year.
