Dundee Precious Metals Agrees to Acquire Adriatic Metals in US$1.3 Billion Deal

6:39 AM ET 06/13/2025 - MT Newswires

At deal completion, DPM will acquire 100% of the Vares operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a producing silver-lead-zinc-gold underground mine.

The deal is expected to increase DPM's production up to 425,000 gold equivalent ounces in 2027 through the ramp-up of Vares. The mine has an initial 15-year operating life with potential to extend further from a prospective 4,400-hectare land package.

"Vares is a logical fit with our portfolio, as it significantly increases DPM's mine life while adding near-term production growth, a highly prospective land package, and cash flow diversification," said DPM President and CEO David Rae.

Under the deal, Adriatic shareholders will receive 0.1590 of a DPM common share and 93 pence in cash for each ordinary share of Adriatic. The transaction will be implemented by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement.

Following deal completion, DPM's current shareholders will own 75% of the company with the former Adriatic shareholders owning the rest.
