Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM) (“DPM” or
“the Company”) today announced the closing of the sale of the
Tsumeb smelter to a subsidiary of Sinomine Resource Group Co. Ltd.
(“Sinomine”).
“In line with our strategy, the Tsumeb
divestiture is another step in our continued track record of
creating shareholder value. I’d like to extend our thanks to the
government of Namibia, Sinomine and our former employees and
stakeholders for its safe transition and continued success,” said
David Rae, President and CEO.
The purchase price for the sale of the Tsumeb
smelter was US$20 million, on a debt-free and cash-free basis, less
a US$5 million holdback to be held in escrow for a period of six
months to secure the Company’s indemnity obligations under the
share purchase agreement with Sinomine. Total cash consideration
paid on closing was US$15.9 million, as adjusted, less the escrow
holdback amount. The cash consideration is subject to normal
post-closing adjustments.
