ST. JOHN’S – Aurion Resources Ltd. says its shareholders have approved an acquisition by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.
It says 99.94 per cent of its shareholders voted in favour of the transaction.
The deal, originally announced in April, will see Aurion shareholders receive $2.60 per share in cash for a total of about $481 million.
In April, Agnico Eagle Mines announced a trio of deals to consolidate a group of properties in northern Finland.
At the time, the Toronto-based gold miner announced it would acquire Rupert Resources Ltd., Aurion Resources Ltd. and B2Gold Corp.‘s 70 per cent stake in the Fingold Ventures Ltd. joint venture it owns with Aurion.
Aurion says it will seek a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and expects the transaction to be completed later this month, subject to court approval and other conditions.
