Royal Gold's royalty acquisition on Serrote/Santa Rita mines terminated due to ACG-Appian deal collapse
ROYAL GOLD INC
- Royal Gold's planned acquisition of royalties on Serrote and Santa Rita mines in Brazil was contingent on ACG's purchase of those mines from Appian.
- ACG terminated its acquisition of the mines from Appian, so Royal Gold cannot proceed with its royalty acquisition.
- CEO Bill Heissenbuttel called it a good opportunity but said events beyond Royal Gold's control precluded completion.
- Royal Gold continues to seek transactions that meet its strategic criteria, with no financial penalty disclosed for the termination.
