Premier president and CEO Ewan Downie said: “We are very excited to add the Getchell Project to our already strong base of Nevada assets.

“The property has a long track record of successful gold production and we believe that the open pit and underground gold historical resources at Getchell were amongst the highest-grade in North America based on historical work completed on the property and the property will form an integral part of our US-based activities.”

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to regulatory and third-party approvals as well as other customary conditions.

Recently, Premier Gold Mines unveiled plans of spinning out PG USA, which holds its Nevada assets, to shareholders.
