Brigus Gold and GLR Resources Agree on Equipment Contract

We recently bought shares of Brigus @ $1.88 using today’s close of $1.62 this means a 13,8% loss. The loss can be explained by tanking gold prices, the fundamentals have not changed, and we still consider Brigus to be a solid BUY.

Brigus News Release:

Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Kirkland Lake, Ontario – January 27, 2011– Brigus Gold Corp. (“Brigus”; TSX: BRD; NYSE Amex: BRD) and GLR Resources Inc. (“GLR”; CNQX: GLE) jointly announce that they have reached an agreement regarding the reimbursement by Brigus to GLR in connection with certain equipment originally ordered by GLR.  This equipment was related to Brigus’ wholly owned Goldfields Project in Saskatchewan. A predecessor company of Brigus had acquired the Goldfields Project from GLR.

Pursuant to the agreement, Brigus will issue to GLR 1,396,134 common shares of Brigus valued at CAN$2,443,235 based on a deemed price of CAN$1.75 per share and will make cash payments aggregating US$60,000.  The agreement is subject to receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and discontinuance of the outstanding legal action between Brigus and GLR.

Brigus intends to develop the Goldfields Project into a producing gold mine within the current schedule as early as 2013, pending a development decision by June 2011.

GLR is a Canadian‐based junior mining and exploration company focused on existing projects in Ontario and Quebec.

Brigus is a growing gold producer committed to maximizing shareholder value through a strategy of efficient production, targeted exploration and select acquisitions.  The Company operates the wholly owned Black Fox Mine in the Timmins gold district of Ontario, Canada.  The Black Fox Complex encompasses the Black Fox Mine and Mill, and adjoining Grey Fox-Pike River property, all in the Township of Black River-Matheson, Ontario, Canada.  Brigus is also advancing the Goldfields Project located near Uranium City, Saskatchewan, Canada, which hosts the Box and Athona gold deposits. In Mexico, Brigus holds a 100% interest in the Ixhuatan Project located in the state of Chiapas, and a 3% NSR interest in the Huizopa Project, an early stage, gold-silver exploration project located in the state of Chihuahua.  In the Dominican Republic, Brigus Gold has a joint venture covering three mineral exploration projects.
