The news: Shares in De Grey Mining will be suspended from trading on the ASX later today after the gold miner lodged a copy of the Federal Court's orders — which approve the company's acquisition by larger rival Northern Star Resources — with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

The numbers: De Grey shares were down 4.4% to $2.61 at 10:30am AEST. Northern Star shares fell 5.2% to $21.81. Both tracked a broad selloff among gold producers.

The context: De Grey's board unanimously backed the $5 billion takeover offer in December.
