Nevsun Resources to buy Reservoir Minerals for $365 millionSun Apr 24, 2016 10:56pm EDT (Reuters) - Canadian miner Nevsun Resources Ltd NSU.TO said it has agreed to buy Reservoir Minerals Inc RMC.V for about $365 million in cash and stock.
Nevsun will pay two shares of Nevsun and $0.001 in cash for each Reservoir share, the company said on Sunday.
The deal values Reservoir shares at C$9.401 each, representing a 35 percent premium to its last close, based on Nevsun stock's Friday closing price.
The deal will allow Reservoir to exercise its right of first refusal on Freeport-McMoran's FCX.N stake in Timok project, scuppering Lundin Mining's LUN.TO previously announced acquisition of the stake.
