Economic, ResourceTORONTO — Osisko Mining Inc. has signed a deal to form a 50-50 joint venture with South African company Gold Fields Ltd. to develop the Windfall gold project in Quebec.
Under the agreement, Gold Fields will make a $300-million initial cash payment to Osisko plus an additional payment of $300 million on issuance of the applicable permits authorizing the construction, operation and mining of the project. Gold Fields will also fund spending for regional exploration up to a maximum of $75 million, after which regional exploration programs would be proportionately funded by each company.
In addition, Gold Fields will make two additional payments of $17 million for reimbursement of money already spent by Osisko on pre-construction expenses. Osisko chairman and chief executive John Burzynski says the partnership strengthens the company’s balance sheet, allows it to significantly de-risk Windfall and brings the company a step closer to realizing its objective of becoming a leading Canadian gold producer.© 2023 The Canadian Press
