Goldcorp Inc. (GG) shareholders voted Thursday to approve
Newmont Mining Corp.'s (NEM) takeover of the firm.
More than 97% of votes cast backed the deal, Goldcorp said in a
statement.
Newmont shareholders will vote April 11 on whether to issue
shares in connection with the transaction.
The companies expect the deal to close in the current
quarter.
Newmont reached a deal in January to buy rival Canadian gold
producer Goldcorp in a $10 billion, all-stock deal.
In a separate statement Thursday, Newmont said the vote would
bring it closer to creating "the world's leading gold busienss as
measured by assets, prospects and people."
