Aberdeen Gould, an advisor to Battle Mountain Gold Exploration Corp., has assisted Battle Mountain in closing their purchase of gold royalty assets from IAMGold Corp.

Battle Mountain (www.bmegold.com) is a publicly listed company trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (symbol: BMGX), and holds multiple precious metals royalties.

The purchase of these 11 net smelter royalty interests includes royalties from three operating mines and strengthens Battle Mountain’s foundation in building a significant international portfolio of gold royalty assets.

Financing options were provided, and a portion of the equity component was placed before the transaction closed using primarily a gold facility and bridge facility from Macquarie Bank Limited.
