Canadian-based Fury Gold Mines has entered into an agreement to acquire Quebec Precious Metals in an all-share deal, which creates a combined company that consolidates a prospective gold and critical minerals exploration portfolio totaling over 157,000 hectares in Quebec.
The exchange ratio implies a price of C$0.04 per Quebec Precious Metals share and a premium of approximately 33%.
“This transaction is an exciting opportunity given it doubles Fury’s land package in the Eeyou Istchee territory in the James Bay Region of Quebec and unites complementary assets, teams, and investor bases which should ultimately increase shareholder value at both companies,” said Tim Clark, CEO of Fury Gold Mines.
“Combining [Quebec Precious Metals’] gold and critical minerals portfolio of exploration projects with Fury’s projects and strong balance sheet will not only help improve cost efficiency but also add to the potential for new discoveries.”
Quebec Precious Metals’ portfolio compliments Fury’s project pipeline in a region where Fury is extremely active. The former’s Sakami project has seen nearly 50,000 metres of drilling with gold mineralization identified within two zones. Fury intends to rapidly advance targets at Sakami to the drilling stage following a reinterpretation of the geology and geophysics paired with systematic geochemical sampling.
The transaction is expected to close by April.
