Santa Gertrudis Project

On November 1, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Animas Resources Ltd. ("Animas"), a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of GoGold Resources Inc. ("GoGold") by way of a subscription and share purchase agreement (the "Animas Agreement") dated September 5, 2017. On the closing of the transactions relating to the Animas Agreement, Animas owned a 100% interest in the Santa Gertrudis exploration project located in Sonora, Mexico, indirectly, through three wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Animas Agreement, consideration for the acquisition of the shares of Animas totaled $80.0 million less a working capital adjustment of $0.4 million, comprised of $72.0 million in cash payable at closing and the extinguishment of a $7.5 million loan advanced to GoGold on the date of the Animas Agreement that bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan, along with all accrued interest, was repaid upon closing of the Animas Agreement by way of a set-off against the purchase price.

In connection with the transaction, GoGold was granted a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on production from the Santa Gertrudis project, 50% of which may be repurchased by the Company at any time for $7.5 million.

The acquisition was accounted for by the Company as an asset acquisition and transaction costs associated with the acquisition totaling $0.9 million were capitalized to the mining properties acquired separately from the purchase price allocation set out below.

The following table sets out the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on management's estimates of fair value:
