Monarch Gold - Wasamac sale and spin out

Monarch Gold has entered a definitive agreement with Yamana Gold to sell its flagship Wasamac property and its Camflo mill and tailings facilities to Yamana for C$152m, or C$0.48 per share on a fully diluted basis. Monarch’s remaining assets Croinor, McKenzie Break, Swanson and Beaufor (plus its Beacon Mill, related liabilities and C$14m in cash) will be spun out as a separate company (SpinCo). Management estimates of the SpinCo valuation of C$47.5m, of C$0.15 per share, would imply an overall deal valuation of C$200m. This would represent a 43% premium to the 20-day VWAP of Monarch, although ultimately the deal premium will be determined by the SpinCo valuation once it starts trading.
