Osisko Development will acquire the ownership of Trixie Mine, and mineral claims covering more than 17,000 acres in the Tintic Mining District of central Utah.

Osisko Development will pay the vendors US$12.5 million in deferred payments.

Ongoing exploration work demonstrates the potential for expansion and further discovery at Trixie and the broader land package.

Tintic is a joint venture with 75 per cent owned by IG Tintic and 25 per cent by Chief Consolidated Mining Company.

Ruby Hollow holds an indirect 25 per cent interest in Tintic through its ownership of approximately 83 per cent of the stock of Chief.
