Eskay Agrees $ESK to Acquire 19.5% of Garibaldi Resources Corp $GGI from The Sprott Foundation
1) Eric Sprott purchases Eskay Mining via share swap with Garibaldi Resources.
My take: Eric wants a piece of Eskay Mining.
2) $ESK pays $10.8m for 23.7m shares of GGI for $2.56 units + 1 warrant $2.82.
My take: Minimal dilution for ESK, overall a great deal.
3) Eric Sprott buys 4.221m common shares and 4.221m wrrants = 8.442m total share ownership or 4.3% ownership of ESK
4) Eskay Mining now owns 19.5% of Garibaldi Resources setting up to become an even larger owner in the Golden Triangle
My take: This is a strategic position to put Eskay in an even more commanding land ownership in the Golden Triangle.
5) This is the next financing is practically closed now; a potential $11.8m will fill the coffers with success this upcoming season. ($2.82 * 4.211)
6) Eric Sprott now owns more or less no position in GGI and would theoretically be able to purchase more, if he wishes.
7) Quinton always said ESK owns 85% of the VMS belt. Did this deal just lock up more of the VMS of the Eskay Creek area?
