July 5 (Reuters) - Canadian miner Centerra Gold CG.TO
agreed on Tuesday to buy Thompson Creek Metals TCM.TO , a
U.S.-based miner bowed by nearly $900 million in debt, and pay
its creditors, in a deal worth around $1.1 billion, the two
companies said.
Centerra, a miner whose main gold mine is in Kyrgyzstan,
said it would also raise C$170 million ($130.76 million) in a
bought deal, which it would use to partly pay out the secured
and unsecured noteholders of Thompson Creek.
