For this acquisition, the company agreed to pay a consideration in a combination of cash and common shares of the company.

Meanwhile, the agreement with Bullrun Capital is for the sale of the Swanson mining asset.

Monarch has highlighted that these transactions are contingent upon the approval of the Superior Court of Quebec in the CCAA Proceedings.

The company also emphasised the confidentiality of the consideration payable under these transactions. This measure is to maintain the integrity of the Sale and Investment Solicitation Process, should any conditions precedent not be met.

In September 2022, Monarch Mining stopped operations at the Beaufor underground mine east of Val-d’Or, Quebec, in Canada, due to operational and financial hurdles.

The mine, placed on care and maintenance for an indefinite period, produced more than one million ounces of gold during the past 30 years.
