Wheaton River Minerals (WRM-T) has announced plans for a proposed private placement of 82 million special warrants at $1.15 apiece for proceeds of $94.3 million.
The placement will be led by Griffiths McBurney & Partners and will also include BMO Nesbitt Burns, Canaccord Capital and Haywood Securities. The agents can, at any time before closing, boost the placement by up to 20 million special warrants for additional proceeds of up to $23 million.
Each special warrant allows the holder to buy, without further payment, one Wheaton River share plus half a share purchase warrant. One warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share at $1.65 for five years after closing.
Wheaton plans to use part of the proceeds to help fund its recently announced acquisition of Minas Luismin, the mining division of Sanluis, a Mexican-based autoparts manufacturer, for US$75 million.
The placement, subject to regulatory approval, is slated to close by May 30.
