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.
