In September 2014, Mariana entered into a US$6 million investment agreement with Bergen, using the proceeds of the Bergen funding to acquire Aegean Metals Group Inc. and its prospective portfolio of assets in Turkey and Chile.
This acquisition ultimately led to an increase from £6.57 million to £138 million in Mariana’s market capitalization, and an outright sale of Mariana to Sandstorm Gold Ltd for US$175 million, completed in July 2017.
