Pan American Silver said Monday it plans to acquire Canadian silver and gold exploration company Minefinders for about $1.5 billion in a cash-and-stock deal that Reuters reports would help Vancouver-based Pan American more than double its production by 2015.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom corporate partner Riccardo Leofanti in Toronto is leading a team advising Pan American on U.S. securities, antitrust, and tax issues related to the deal. The firm has handled work for Pan American-which operates mines in Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, and Peru-in the past. Robert Pirooz is the company’s general counsel.
