Canadian precious metal producer Integra Resources has completed the acquisition of Florida Canyon Gold (FCGI) through a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
Integra secured all issued and outstanding common shares of FCGI under the deal. The transaction followed a definitive arrangement agreement signed in July this year.
Consequently, FCGI has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Integra and its shareholders received 0.46 of an Integra common share for each FCGI share they held, resulting in the issuance of approximately 65.21 million new Integra shares.
With the transaction’s closure, Integra met the escrow release conditions for 14.9 million subscription receipts issued on 21 August 2024, raising C$19.4m.
These funds will support mine optimisation at the Florida Canyon Mine, advancement of the DeLamar Project, the Nevada North Project and general corporate purposes.
The Board of Integra, led by executive chairman George Salamis, welcomes Janet Yang and Ian Atkinson, former FCGI directors, as new members.

I would like to welcome the new team members, board members and shareholders to Integra. The Florida Canyon Mine will play a crucial role in realising our long-term vision of becoming a leading mid-tier precious metals producer.
