The latest announcement is out from Agnico Eagle ( (TSE:AEM) ).

Agnico Eagle has agreed to sell its remaining 55% stake in Sweden’s Gunnarn Mining AB, owner of the Barsele gold project, to Goldsky Resources Corp. for US$20 million in cash, 75.5 million Goldsky shares and a 2% net smelter return royalty on Barsele. The deal, expected to close by June 30, 2026 subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, is part of Agnico’s broader portfolio optimization strategy, shifting capital toward its internal project pipeline while retaining upside to Barsele through the royalty and a significant equity position. Following the agreement, Agnico’s beneficial interest in Goldsky rises to about 32.5% of the company’s outstanding shares, supported by an amended investor rights agreement that gives Agnico participation rights in future financings and potential board representation, strengthening its strategic influence over Barsele’s advancement without bearing the full development risk.
