Canada’s Orla Mining Ltd.OLA-T is buying the Musselwhite gold mine in Ontario from Newmont Corp. NGT-T for up to US$850-million as mergers and acquisitions activity starts to heat up with bullion prices near record highs.
Vancouver-based Orla on Monday said it intends to pay US$810-million in cash to Newmont and up to US$40-million more contingent on gold trading above certain price levels over the next two years to acquire Musselwhite.
Denver-based Newmont, which is the world’s biggest gold miner, is selling Musselwhite as part of its strategy to unload its non-core assets. Newmont inherited the mine as part of its US$10-billion acquisition of Canada’s Goldcorp Inc. in 2019.
The purchase of Musselwhite will see Orla’s annual gold production more than double to above 300,000 ounces. Camino Rojo in Mexico is the company’s only operating mine, so Musselwhite should reduce risk by diversifying the company. Camino Rojo, like Musselwhite, was also formerly a Goldcorp asset, and Orla bought it in 2017.
The Musselwhite underground mine is located on the shore of Opapimiskan Lake, roughly 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay. In operation since 1997, it has produced almost six million ounces of gold. As of the end of last year, it held 1.5 million ounces of gold reserves. Based on an engineering report commissioned by Orla, the mine has seven years of life remaining with predicted average annual production of 202,000 ounces. Orla intends to invest US$405-million in capital through to 2032 into Musselwhite.
Jason Simpson, chief executive of Orla, said in an interview that the company had been working on the transaction for more than six months, and it wasn’t the only bidder.
“It was competitive,” he said. “Newmont through BMO ran a very comprehensive process.”
Orla intends to pay for the acquisition of Musselwhite through a combination of cash, debt, a convertible note issuance and a gold prepay facility that would see it receive cash in exchange for a certain amount of future gold production.
Among Orla’s biggest shareholders are Pierre Lassonde, co-founder of Franco-Nevada Corp., and Prem Watsa’s Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd.Mr. Lassonde and Fairfax are both buying convertible notes as part of the financing package. The notes will pay an interest rate of 4.5 per cent per annum and mature after five years. They are convertible to Orla stock at $7.90 a share, which is 42 per cent above last Friday’s closing price.
“While a bold move, we think Musselwhite is the right fit for Orla at a reasonable price,” Michael Siperco, analyst with RBC Dominion Securities Inc., wrote in a note to clients on Monday.
Shares in Orla rose by 8 per cent to close at $5.99 apiece Monday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Gold on Monday traded around US$2,600 an ounce, about US$180 below a record reached last month. Bullion prices surged earlier in the year amid declining interest rates and uncertainty over the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. Investors view gold as a safe-haven investment, and it tends to perform better in a falling rate environment.
The elevated commodity price has spurred some M&A, but nowhere near the avalanche of deal-making that occurred in the mid- to late 2000s. Newmont in September announced the sale of its Telfer operation and its 70-per-cent share in Havieron, both located in Australia, to Greatland Gold PLC for up to US$475-million. South Africa’s Gold Fields Ltd. in August announced the purchase of Canada’s Osisko Mining Inc. for $2.16-billion.
“The M&A landscape is still very selective,” Mr. Simpson said. “What we’re seeing is sensible transactions that make strategic sense to the companies doing the acquiring at price points that are accretive. And as long as that sort of responsible consolidation of our industry occurs, I think it should continue.”
The late-2000s-era deal-making was characterized by gold miners paying huge premiums for assets and subsequently taking billions in writedowns when the commodity price crashed. While Newmont has been acquisitive in the past few years, buying Australia’s Newcrest Mining Ltd. in a blockbuster US$16.8-billion transaction in 2023, some of its peers have sat on the sidelines.
Barrick Gold Corp. hasn’t made a major acquisition since its US$6-billion 2019 purchase of Randgold Resources Ltd. CEO Mark Bristow has repeatedly said over the past few years that he prefers internal growth over what he characterizes as value-destructive M&A.

In this week’s Hub book review, Patrick Luciani examines The Greatest of All Plagues: How Economic Inequality Shaped Political Thought from Plato to Marx (Princeton University Press, 2024), by David Lay Williams, which attempts to make the case that the concentration of wealth has been a historical problem that many of the world’s most prominent political thinkers have tried to solve.
Economics is usually taught as a technical subject that maximizes economic growth by using monetary and fiscal policies to keep inflation and unemployment low. This is called positive economics, which treats consumers and businesses as bloodless utility and profit maximizers.
However, something changed after the financial crisis in 2008. Overnight, we saw the human damage of a financial and economic system that became untethered to the real world, where the rich protected themselves at the expense of the poor and middle class.
Economic inequality became front of mind in culture as economists such as Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz, and Thomas Piketty, who in his best-selling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, pointed out the growing disparity between the rich and poor. Movements like Occupy Wall Street reminded us of the wealth gap with their slogan, “We are the 99 percent.” Economics started shifting to normative economics, which is more interested in how wealth is distributed than its creation.
Economic inequality is nothing new in human history. Until the 18th century, the bigger problem for most people was poverty and staying alive, let alone worrying about equality, especially in a world ordained by God or nature. A new book, The Greatest of All Plagues, by David Lay Williams, however, disputes that economic disparities and concentration of wealth were not at the top of the minds of the most significant political thinkers throughout the ages.
Professor Williams, who teaches political science at DePaul University, looks deeply at the ideas of Plato, Jesus, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Marx and argues that they all saw economic inequality as we see it today, as a source of political instability and “a corrupter of character and soul,” and if left unchecked will damage civic harmony, peace, and democracy. The term “greatest of all plagues” comes from Plato’s Athenian Stranger in the Laws, which refers to civil war caused by extreme economic inequality and the concentration of wealth.
Though the term “inequality” doesn’t appear in the Bible or the Gospels, Williams reminds us of Jesus’ words that the kingdom of God has no place for the rich. The Hebrew laws of Sabbatical and Jubilee also recognized that justice and fairness were essential to rebalancing wealth distribution as a matter of moral duty. These ancient laws required that all debts be forgiven every seven years and all property be restored to an equitable distribution every fifty years.
Rousseau was the most articulate and critical of the wealthy and closely analyzed the pathologies of inequality in his famous essay, “Discourse on the Origin of Inequality,” written in 1754. Inequality to Rousseau was an affront to his beloved notion of the “general will,” where the state has a duty to distribute wealth so that each citizen has neither too little nor too much. For Rousseau, income inequality breeds greed and avarice, vices not found in nature. Perfect equality is found only in the state of nature where all are equal before the corruption of society. Hence his famous saying, “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” He and Plato lived in a zero-sum world, where wealth was fixed and could only be increased if taken or stolen from another.
To make Smith an ally to William’s argument, since Smith saw free trade and markets as a way out of poverty, Williams appeals to Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments. Smith worries that wealth isolates the rich from others and will show less compassion or sympathy to the poor. Though never an egalitarian, Hobbes insists that poverty results in resentment and envy that lead directly to the “sources of sedition and war.”
Mill saw the dangers of growing wealth concentration and advocated inheritance taxes even though the poor were better off when wealth expanded with greater commerce, trade, and competition. Mill also advocated for public education for the poor, increasing their chances for greater freedom and less poverty. To make his point, Williams turns to Piketty’s research to show that in 1770, the top 10 percent of British citizens owned 90 percent of total private property, and the top 1 percent possessed 60 percent.

Of these six selected political thinkers, Marx is the most ambivalent. Inequality for Marx was inevitable under capitalism. Even the famous communist phrase attributed to Marx, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” was not a call for income equality. Nonetheless, poverty, or low income, places a psychic cost on workers that leads to dissatisfaction, depression, and demoralization.
Williams puts much work into his efforts to deepen the idea that focus on economic inequality isn’t new but can be found in the canon of political ideas over 2000 years. But does he make his case that income inequality is the greatest plague of our time?
He starts by taking Piketty’s work at face value without any mention that the French economist’s work has faced significant criticism in his methodology and conclusions.
Williams also criticizes Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker and renowned economist Deidre McCloskey for defending an economic system that creates wealth. He dismisses them, claiming they ignore the total damage of an economically unequal society that favours billionaires over the poor. It’s hard to imagine telling Pinker and McCloskey that they hadn’t considered the implications of their ideas.
Where does this all leave us now? Ultimately, Williams never tells the reader what he thinks is an ideal level of wealth distribution and what it would entail.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is long over. The rhetoric that inspired its demonstrations has proved, in time, unconvincing to the 99 percent it was supposed to animate. In the recent U.S. election, working-class Americans dramatically shifted away from their traditional Democratic Party. Is it possible that advocates for greater economic parity are wrong when low-income earners preferred lower taxes and higher incomes over equality?

Although IPC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because IPC can give no assurances that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, resources, production, revenues, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price fluctuations; interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation; loss of markets; environmental and climate-related risks; competition; innovation and cybersecurity risks related to our systems, including our costs of addressing or mitigating such risks; the ability to attract, engage and retain skilled employees; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions; the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; failure to obtain required regulatory and other approvals; geopolitical conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict in the Middle East, and their potential impact on, among other things, global market conditions; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties and environmental regulations. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.

Marimaca Copper, worth some $C457 million ($502 million) on the Toronto Stock Exchange, is marching down the well-trodden path of Canadian mid-cap miners and is seeking a dual listing on the ASX.
Marimaca is preparing to file paperwork for an Australian listing after a 32 per cent share price rally this year. Its flagship asset, the Marimaca copper discovery near Antofagasta in Chile, is far closer to infrastructure like ports, roads and water than most Chilean copper mines. The company hopes to get its feasibility study away by the end of the year.

Canadian FinTech Nuvei has completed its previously announced go-private transaction.
As a result of the completion of the arrangement, the company expects that the subordinate voting shares will be de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange around Monday (Nov. 18) and from the Nasdaq Global Select Market around Nov. 25, Nuvei said in a Friday (Nov. 15) press release.
Under the previously announced arrangement, Nuvei became a wholly owned subsidiary of the purchaser, of which Advent, Nuvei CEO Philip Fayer, Novacap and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) hold or control about 46%, 24%, 18% and 12%, respectively, according to the release.
Fayer, the founder of Nuvei, will continue to serve as the company’s chair and CEO, with Nuvei’s current leadership team continuing in their roles, per the release.
“We are excited to embark on a new chapter with Advent, Novacap and CDPQ, one focused on our long-term strategy and commitment to accelerating the revenue of our customers globally,” Fayer said in the release. “For more than 20 years we have provided customers with mission-critical solutions they need to execute on their growth journeys. This commitment will remain the same as we continue to build deeper partnerships with our customers by providing them with modern, flexible and purpose-built technology.”
Nuvei said Wednesday (Nov. 13) that it received all the regulatory approvals it needed for the transaction and that it expected to become a private company by the end of the week.
The company announced April 1 that it planned to go private in a $6.3 billion deal with Advent.
It received shareholder approval for the plan in June after telling shareholders that the agreement is “in the best interests of the company … and represents an increase of approximately 42% from the consideration initially proposed by Advent.”
Since that time, Nuvei announced a partnership with open software-as-a-service (SaaS) eCommerce platform BigCommerce that it said will globally enable customizable payment solutions that were previously only available to large enterprise companies; added split payments and other new features and enhancements to its Nuvei for Platforms product; and said it was set to acquire Brazilian payments institution Pay2All.
