Reuters - Canada's Alamos Gold Inc. has agreed to buy two gold projects in Türkiye from Fronteer Development Group Inc. and Teck Resources Ltd. in a cash-and-stock deal worth around USD 85 million.
Alamos will pay USD 40 million in cash and offer 4 million of its shares to buy certain Turkish units held by Fronteer and Teck, it said in a statement. The common shares will be issued on a private placement basis and will be subject to a four-month hold period, said Alamos.
