First Mining Finance Corp. recently brokered a deal to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Goldrush Resources Ltd., a company with two gold projects in Burkina Faso, both companies said on Wednesday.
Under the terms of the agreement, First Mining will acquire the shares of Goldrush in exchange for 0.0714 of a common share of First Mining. Goldrush shareholders approved the deal with a 99.9 percent positive vote.
The full deal still needs court approval, which Goldrush will seek on Monday, with the final closing of the deal expected by Thursday.
