Good evening,

In the Christmas story the Three Kings came bearing gifts of frankincense, myrrh and ... gold.

And that's the gift that's landed on the desk of Morgan Stanley's investment bankers, who have been mandated to ready a gold-mining technology play for the ASX boards. Tonight, we take a look at the deal, which could value the company in question at up to $500 million.

Elsewhere, there's a potential traffic jam brewing at ASX-listed online car classifieds company iCar Asia, which fielded a 50 cents a share bid from American bigwig Autohome Inc at the end of October.

And finally, we've got the scoop on which South Australia-based healthtech company has been running a confidential auction in the past few months, as it hunts a new investor.

Happy reading,
