In September 2010 Goldcorp approached Andean Resources with a $3.6 billion takeover offer. Since then the deal has won shareholder approval from the boards of both companies. Andean has a 100% interest in Argentina's Cerro Negro Gold project, that also attracted the attention of Eldorado Gold which also attempted to buy Andean for $3.4 billion.[1][2]
Andean Resources was Australia's second largest gold miner.[3] The Cerro Negro gold mine has 2.1 million ounces of gold and 20.6 million ounces of silver.[2]
