Canada’s Red Back Mining will acquire Toronto-based Moto Goldmines for C$513m.
Under the agreement, each outstanding common share of Moto will be exchanged for 0.45 of a common share of Red Back, at C$10.45 per share.
The acquisition combines Red Back’s two gold mines — Chirano Mine in Ghana and Tasiast Mine in Mauritania — and Moto's 70% stake in the Moto gold project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
On completing the transaction, Moto will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Back.
The commissioning of Moto Gold Mine will bring more than one million ounces of gold per annum and is set to provide cash operating benefits.
