Yamana Gold, Agnico Eagle finalize acquisition of Osisko Mining

Yamana Gold Inc (TSX: YRI) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd (TSX: AEM) have completed their previously announced court-approved acquisition of 100 percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of Osisko Mining Corp, which operates the Canadian Malartic Gold Mine in Malartic, Québec. The deal, which was valued at around $3.9 billion, succeeded an earlier proposed transaction that was financed in part by CPPIB Credit Investments and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. The common shares of the Montréal-based Osisko were de-listed this week from the Toronto Stock Exchange.
