Point Roberts, WA - March 20, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com staff: Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors reports on the top traders on the TSX for March 20th, 2013.
Aurizon Mines Ltd., (TSX: ARZ) trading at $4.540 gained $0.060 or 1.34% on a high volume of 15,951,499 shares, making it today's top trader on the TSX.
Alamos Gold Inc dropped its hostile takeover offer for Aurizon Mines Ltd. on Tuesday.
The company said due to a $27.2-million break fee that would be payable to Hecla Mining, which emerged with a white knight offer for Aurizon, its conditions have not been met.
Alamos already own a 16 per cent stake in Aurizon and had made a hostile offer for the rest of the company.
However, Aurizon signed a deal to be bought by Hecla Mining in an agreement valued at $796 million in stock and cash.
Hecla's offer, valued at $4.75 per Aurizon share when it was announced, is 10 cents more than the Alamos Gold bid, valued at $4.65 per share when it was announced. Apart from a nominally higher total value, the $513.6-million maximum cash component offer from Hecla is almost $210 million above the cash cap in the Alamos stock and cash bid.
The Hecla offer also requires approvals from two-thirds of votes cast at a shareholder meeting.
