Canada's Endeavour Mining to buy True Gold for about C$240 million

Reuters

(Reuters) - Canadian miner Endeavour Mining Corp (Toronto:EDV.TO - News) agreed to buy True Gold Mining Inc (TSXV:TGM.V - News) for about C$240 million in stock giving it access to a low-cost gold mine nearing production in Burkina Faso.

Endeavour will pay 0.044 of its share for each True Gold share. The offer values True Gold at about C$0.57 per share, a premium of roughly 43 percent to the stock's close on Thursday.

The deal is expected to close in late-April, True Gold said in a statement.

National Bank Financial Inc is acting as financial adviser to True Gold and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP is the legal counsel. Haywood Securities Inc provided a fairness opinion on the deal.
