Aurion Resources gets court approval to be acquired by Agnico Eagle

Ammar Al-Joundi, president and CEO of Agnico Eagle Mines, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss the company's outlook for 2026 and upcoming projects.

ST. JOHN’S — Aurion Resources Ltd. says it has obtained a final court order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving a previously announced acquisition by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.

The deal, originally announced in April, will see Aurion shareholders receive $2.60 per share in cash for a total of about $481 million.

The transaction remains subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange and other conditions, with an expected close date around June 15.

Last week, Aurion shareholders approved the acquisition, with 99.94 per cent voting in favour of the transaction.

In April, Agnico Eagle Mines announced a trio of deals to consolidate a group of properties in northern Finland.

At the time, the Toronto-based gold miner announced it would acquire Rupert Resources Ltd., Aurion Resources Ltd. and B2Gold Corp.’s 70 per cent stake in the Fingold Ventures Ltd. joint venture it owns with Aurion.
