Rupert holds the 297-sq.-km Pahtavaara property in Finland, located 50 km from Agnico’s Kittila mine. This project features a 20-km-long prospective structural corridor with a 2018 resource estimating 4.6 million of inferred tonnes at 3.2 g/t gold for a total of 474,000 oz. The past-producing site hosts a permitted mill and sits within the central Lapland greenstone belt. The units issued to Agnico will consist of one common share and 0.75 of a warrant. Upon closing, the company will hold 9.9% of Rupert on a non-diluted basis and 16.1% on a partially diluted basis. Agnico Eagle’s Kittila underground mine generated 188,979 oz. gold in 2018 after starting production in 2009. The current mine life forecast for this operation extends to 2035.
