THUNDER BAY, ON, June 1, 2012 /CNW/ - PREMIER GOLD MINES LIMITED (PG:TSX) ("Premier Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of the purchase by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Royalty Corporation ("Premier Royalty") from Aberdeen International Inc., of a 1% net smelter return royalty (the "Royalty") on gold produced from Village Main Reef Limited's Buffelsfontein Mine and First Uranium Corporation's Mine Waste Solutions project in the Republic of South Africa.

The purchase price for the Royalty was $20,900,000, which was satisfied by Premier Royalty paying $11,500,000 in cash (the "Cash Payment") and issuing to Aberdeen a $9,400,000 convertible debenture (the "Convertible Debenture"). In addition, Premier Royalty will issue to Aberdeen warrants ("Warrants") to purchase common shares of Premier Royalty on completion of a public offering or other going public transaction by Premier Royalty. The Cash Payment was funded by Premier Gold by way of a repayable bridge loan from its existing cash to Premier Royalty.

Abraham Drost, Chairman of Premier Royalty Corporation stated, "We are pleased to have closed the transaction with Aberdeen on the Buffelsfontein and Mine Waste Solutions gold royalty streams. This transaction is the first-closed of several acquisitions the Company is currently contemplating as value-added additions to its existing royalty portfolio in anticipation of a future go-public event. We look forward to serving Aberdeen's best interests as a valued shareholder of the Company going forward."

Further information on the terms of the Convertible Debenture and the Warrants can be found in the Company's news release dated April 25, 2012.
