Orezone Gold Closes Casa Berardi Deal, Becomes Diversified Multi-Asset Producer

Orezone Gold Corporation Registered Shs ( (AU:ORE) ) just unveiled an update.

Orezone Gold has completed the acquisition of Hecla Quebec Inc., giving it full ownership of the producing Casa Berardi gold mine and an extensive exploration portfolio in Quebec, including the Heva-Hosco, Duverny, and Opinaca-Wildcat properties. The deal transforms Orezone into a diversified multi-asset producer in a Tier 1 jurisdiction and builds on its existing Bomboré operation.

The $352 million transaction, plus up to $241 million in contingent payments, was financed through cash on hand and a $100 million gold stream agreement with Franco-Nevada, and includes cash, shares, and deferred and contingent consideration linked to gold prices, permitting, and future production. Orezone plans to optimize Casa Berardi’s mine plan, ramp up underground output, and launch a large multi-year drilling program, with integration of the assets and updated production guidance expected through 2026, signaling material growth in scale, cash flow, and long-term value for stakeholders.
