Starcore negotiated to acquire the Shares from the sole shareholder of K Mining at $0.10 per share, payable in 12 equal tranches over 33 months. “After receiving conditional approval from the TSX, and the payment of the first tranche of $72,222, the Shares have been returned to treasury,” confirmed Robert Eadie, President and CEO of Starcore. “The transaction received unanimous approval from Starcore’s Board, who recognized the value in the anti-dilutive opportunity of acquiring Starcore shares at a significant discount to market.”
