As highlighted in the press release:
- On October 31, 2018, Mason announced an arrangement agreement with Hudbay Minerals pursuant to which Hudbay will acquire the remaining 86 percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mason that it does not already own. Under the Hudbay arrangement, Mason shareholders will receive C$0.40 in cash for each Mason common share they own.
- Net loss for Q3 2018 was US$0.8 million which is a reduction of 38 percent compared to the same period of 2017 (US$1.3 million net loss). For the 2018 year to date, net loss was US$1.5 million which is a reduction of 38 percent compared to the comparative period of 2017 (US$2.4 million net loss). The reduction in the year to date net loss was due to one-time costs associated with the spin-out of the company from Entrée Resources in 2017 and foreign exchange variances between the Canadian dollar and United States dollar.
