Some 77.15 per cent of St Barbara’s shareholders have voted in favour of a deal to sell the Gwalia gold mine to Genesis Minerals. St Barbara chairman Kerry Gleeson says the company aims to complete the transaction by 30 June. The deal will provide St Barbara with a much-needed cash injection and leave the company with just its gold assets in Canada and Papua New Guinea. St Barbara had rejected a higher offer for the Gwalia mine from Silver Lake Resources, contending that engaging with the rival bidder could potentially have resulted in a breach of its debt covenants.
