Gold Fields conducts final push for multibillion acquisition of Canada’s Yamana Gold

Yamana, headquartered in Toronto, operates the underground Wasamac project in Quebec and the MARA project in Argentina, while Gold Fields’ operations include the South Deep mine outside Johannesburg and Salares Norte in Chile.

Gold Fields also said Yamana offered the opportunity to expand its jurisdictional profile because Yamana mines were all located in resource-rich regions supportive of mining operations. Griffith said an independent valuation report by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce had valued Yamana’s mineral assets at $6bn to $8bn, in line with the company’s initial offer price.

Griffith said while the company had paid a premium, it needed to pay a premium to ensure the deal could be consummated.
