ocal miner PT Merdeka Gold Resources has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, paving the way for a dual listing after having been listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange since September last year.

The firm said the move aims to broaden its investor base and access offshore capital while ramping up production at its flagship Pani gold mine in Pohuwato, Gorontalo, according to an exchange filing issued on Friday and quoted by Reuters.

Merdeka Gold, which raised Rp 4.66 trillion (US$275 million) during its IPO on the local bourse, said the Hong Kong listing would raise its profile among international institutional investors.

Swiss bank UBS and China-based brokerage Citic Securities are acting as joint sponsors.
