Minto to reopen as mine is sold for $20m

LSE-listed Pembridge Resources has closed a transaction to buy the Minto mine in Canada’s Yukon from Capstone Mining – nearly a year-and-a-half after the deal was first announced.

Pembridge initially offered to buy Minto for $37.5-million, but then struggled to close the equity financing element of the acquisition, leading to Capstone placing the mine on care and maintenance.
