Osisko Mining Shares Rise on Gold Fields $1.57 Billion Acquisition
By Adriano Marchese
Osisko Mining shares soared Monday morning after South African gold mining firm Gold Fields said it would buy Osisko Mining for $1.57 billion.
Shares of Osisko were trading nearly 63% higher in Toronto at 4.79 Canadian dollars ($3.49).
Under the deal Gold Fields is offering C$4.90 in cash for each Osisko share held. The price is a 67% premium to its closing price of C$2.94 on Friday.
The acquisition is expected to give the Gold Fields full control of the Windfall project in Canada as it seeks to secure supply amid soaring gold prices.
Windfall is expected to produce around 300,000 ounces of gold a year at an all-in sustaining cost of $758 an ounce, Gold Fields said.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year.
