Sacre-Coeur Minerals gives Severstal two-week extension for due diligence on $77m takeover deal
South America-focused gold explorer Sacre-Coeur Minerals (TSX-V:SCM) said Tuesday it has given affiliates of Severstal (LSE: SVST; RT: CHMF), Russia's largest steel producer, a two week extension to complete due diligence for the planned C$77 million acquisition of Sacre Coeur.
According to a company statement released today, due diligence is still proceeding, together with the preparation of the required documentation for closing the C$1.60 per share transaction, which is still subject to court and shareholder approvals, as well as other customary conditions.
The deadline to complete the due diligence on the company has now been extended to February 14, 2011, and both parties said they aim to close the deal by mid April.
The deal, which was announced in September, was originally supposed to close three days after a special shareholder meeting in November, as Sacre Coeur's board has already approved the transaction. New dates for the stockholder meeting have still not been set; Sacre Coeur said that a further update will be provided when this occurs.
Sacre-Coeur explores and develops properties for the potential mining of gold, metals and diamonds in South America. The company has roughly 1000 sq km of property in Guyana, including the Million Mountain property, where it is exploring for gold.
