Eldorado chief executive George Burns says the acquisition of Foran’s McIlvenna Bay project in Saskatchewan adds a high-quality, long-life Canadian asset that complements the company’s operations and strengthens its position as a growth-oriented gold and copper producer.

The deal is still subject to final court approval and other customary closing conditions. A B.C. Supreme Court hearing to approve the agreement is set to take place on Thursday.

Eldorado expects the deal to close on or about April 14.
