Silvercorp walks away from Guyana Goldfields

Canadian precious metals miner Silvercorp has elected not to exercise its right to match an offer for gold miner Guyana Goldfields.

Guyana Goldfields, which owns the soon-to-be-idled Aurora underground gold project, in Guyana, has received quite a bid of interest from potential suitors. Last week, it revealed an offer from a foreign-based multinational that is 35% higher than Silvercorp’s offer.
