"The results of today's EGM show that our shareholders have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the Cygnus Transaction, which represents a key milestone towards realising our plans to add Cygnus' high-grade Chibougamau copper-gold project in Québec to our portfolio.

"We are grateful to our shareholders for their support, which we believe represents a strong endorsement of our strategy of creating a balanced portfolio of profitable production, development-based growth and exploration potential, whilst also allowing for significant capital returns. We look forward to completing the Cygnus Transaction, and delivering on that strategy to the benefit of all shareholders."
