MONTREAL, QC AND TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2025 / FURY GOLD MINES LIMITED (TSX:FURY)(NYSE American:FURY) ("Fury") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its previously announced transaction with Québec Precious Metals Corporation ("QPM"), previously announced on February 26, 2025, whereby Fury acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of QPM (the "QPM Shares") pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement").
Pursuant to the Arrangement, former shareholders of QPM received 0.0741 of a common share of Fury (each whole common share of Fury, a "Fury Share") for each QPM Share held (the "Exchange Ratio"). As a result of the Arrangement, Fury issued an aggregate of 8,394,137 Fury Shares as of the completion of the Arrangement. In addition, options and warrants of QPM that were outstanding as at the time of completion of the Arrangement are now exercisable for Fury Shares on substantially the same terms and conditions, with the number of Fury Shares issuable on exercise and the exercise price adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.
Transaction Highlights:
Deliver increased scale and enhanced diversification with the addition of several prospective gold and critical minerals exploration assets located in Quebec.
Provide synergy and cost savings with Fury's board and management team with a track record of capital raising, discovery, exploration success, and community engagement leading the combined company.
With the completion of the acquisition of QPM, Fury now owns a gold and critical mineral exploration portfolio totaling over 157,000 hectares in Québec. The properties acquired by Fury pursuant to the Arrangement include the Sakami project, the Elmer East project, and the Kipawa project. For further details with respect the projects of QPM, refer to the news release dated February 26, 2025.
Tim Clark, CEO of Fury commented: "We are pleased to officially complete this transformative transaction, which doubles Fury's footprint in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. The integration of QPM's high-potential gold and critical minerals assets with Fury's existing portfolio and strong financial position creates a more robust platform for exploration and growth. We believe the combined strengths of our teams and resources will drive greater operational efficiency and unlock long-term value for shareholders."
Normand Champigny, CEO and Director of QPM, commented: "Completing this transaction with Fury marks an exciting new chapter for QPM's shareholders. With access to Fury's strong leadership, financial resources, and permitting expertise, we are confident in the enhanced ability to accelerate exploration efforts at Sakami and beyond. This combination validates the work accomplished to date and positions the assets for meaningful advancement, offering significant upside potential in today's supportive gold market."
Trading of the QPM Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") has been halted and will remain halted until the QPM Shares have been delisted from the TSXV, which is expected to be on or approximately by April 30, 2025. The QPM Shares will also be delisted from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Following the delisting, QPM intends to submit an application to the applicable securities regulators in Canada to cease to be a reporting issuer.
