Primero Closes Acquisition of Remaining 30.8% of Cerro Del Gallo

20.12.2013  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2013) - Primero Mining Corp. ("Primero" or the "Company") (TSX:P)(NYSE:PPP)(ASX:PPM) is pleased to announce the closing of its acquisition of the remaining 30.8% interest in its Cerro del Gallo development project from a subsidiary of Goldcorp Inc., as previously announced on November 6, 2013.

The Cerro del Gallo gold-silver-copper development project was acquired by Primero in May, 2013. It is currently the Company's only development project and has the potential to increase the Company's near-term production by approximately 95,000 gold equivalent ounces per year. The acquisition of the remaining 30.8% interest consolidates the Company's position, and extinguishes the joint venture agreement thereby reducing administrative costs and eliminating a potential 10% net profit interest.

An upfront payment of US$8 million was made to a subsidiary of Goldcorp Inc. today. Further potential contingency payments based on meeting certain project milestones or market conditions are detailed in the Company's Q3 2013 Management Discussion and Analysis available on the Company's website at www.primeromining.com.
