Canada clears Endeavour’s Semafo transaction

Canada has cleared Toronto-listed gold miners Semafo and Endeavour Mining’s proposed merger, paving the way for the transaction to be completed on July 1.

Canada has decided not to order a national security review of Endeavour’s acquisition of Semfo under the Investment Canada Act (ICA).

This represents the conclusion of the previously announced assessment period under the Investment Canada Act, and means that all required regulatory approvals for the transaction have been received.
