Battle North Gold To Be Acquired By Evolution Mining For $343 Million

Consolidation within the Red Lake mining camp of Ontario continued last night, with the Sunday evening announcement that Battle North Gold (TSX: BNAU) has agreed to be acquired by that of Evolution Mining (ASX: EVN). The transaction will see Battle North acquired for total consideration of $343 million.
