Probe Mines Closes the Sale of Its Goldex Royalty Interest to Agnico-Eagle Mines for $18 Million

29.11.2012  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/12 -- Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE: PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced sale of its 5% Net Smelter Royalty (the "Royalty") on a portion of the Goldex Mine to Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico-Eagle").


Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Probe received a cash remittance of $14.0 million from Agnico-Eagle at closing. Additionally, Probe will receive a further payment of $2.5 million payable, at the option of Probe, in cash or common shares in the capital of Agnico-Eagle in the event that production at the portion of the Goldex Mine subject to the Royalty exceeds 17,320 ounces (such shares to be priced at a 5-day VWAP); and an additional payment of $l.5 million payable, at the option of Probe, in cash or Agnico-Eagle Shares in the event that production at the Goldex Mine subject to the Royalty exceeds 20,320 ounces, inclusive of the 17,320 ounces provided for above (such shares to be priced at a 5-day VWAP).


The sale of the Goldex Royalty provides Probe with a non-dilutive source of funding and the necessary capital for continued work on the Company's Borden Lake Gold Project. With this transaction, Probe remains well-funded through the foreseeable future, which includes its projected exploration and expansion drilling programs during 2013 and potentially well into 2014.


Patrick Reid, Chairman of the Board, stated "Through the monetization of the Goldex Royalty, Probe has considerably strengthened its treasury, enabling the Company to continue advancing its Borden Lake Gold Project. This was an opportune time to divest ourselves of a non-core asset in order to fund the exploration and expansion activities at Borden Lake without diluting our shareholders."
