China-backed Goldsea Mining Australia has pulled the plug on a takeover bid for Australia’s Alto Metals following a request by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) for an extension of time to consider the bid.

Goldsea Mining made the takeover bid on Feb. 21, 2020, citing an interest in Alto’s Sandstone gold mining project in Western Australia.
