Barrick (ABX) announced the sale of its Hemlo gold mine in Ontario for $1.1B, the company’s last Canadian asset - but one that was immaterial to its total production.

Wheaton (WPM) got in on the deal financing, committing up to $400M through an attractive streaming agreement and participating in the equity component to the tune of at least $50M.

Barrick gets to focus on its core operations, Wheaton gets an attractive gold stream, and the Hemlo mine stays in Canadian hands - everybody wins.
