Teranga Gold & Franco-Nevada in Stream Transaction Agreement
Teranga Gold Corporation and Franco- Nevada Corporation have announced that they have agreed to enter into a US$135 million
stream transaction that has
allowed Teranga to enter into definitive share purchase agreements with Bendon International Ltd. and Badr Investment & Finance Company to acquire the balance of the OJVG that it does not already own and to retire US$30 million of its US$60 million debt facility with Macquarie Bank Limited.
On completion of these transactions, the combination of Sabodala and the OJVG satellite deposits is expected to allow Teranga to reach its phase 1 growth objective of 250,000 to 350,000 ounces of gold production leveraging off of its existing mill and infrastructure. The combination also provides operating flexibility to sequence pits
and phases of pit development to maximize free cash flows. Overall, with the proximity of the OJVG pits to the Sabodala mill and the Company’s ability to optimize the ounces that are processed through the mill, the transaction is expected to provide for near, medium and long term growth in production and free cash flows.
“The acquisition of the OJVG is the most accretive and synergistic transaction that I have ever seen in all my years of developing and acquiring mining projects. The addition of the OJVG’s 1.45 million ounces of open pit mineral reserves to Teranga’s existing mineral reserves, will double our open pit reserve base, before we have even commenced any optimization work, and we expect to see significant value creation as we leverage off of our existing mill and infrastructure,” said Alan R. Hill , Executive Chairman, Teranga Gold.
