Kenmare Resources Plc shares surged as much as 52% after the titanium minerals producer rebuffed a takeover offer made by a former executive at a hefty premium.

The Dublin-based miner’s board unanimously rejected a non-binding proposal from a consortium comprised of Oryx Global Partners and former managing director Michael Carvill at 530 pence per share, saying it “undervalued Kenmare’s business and its prospects,” according to a Thursday statement.
