Alert: PLACER SAYS BRE-X DEAL WORTH ABOUT
US$5 BILLION

Reuters Story - January 14, 1997 12:40

VANCOUVER, Jan 14 (Reuter) - Placer Dome Inc said
on Tuesday that shareholders of Bre-X Minerals Ltd would end up
owning 45 to 55 percent of Placer if a merger of the two
companies proceeded under Placer's proposal.

Placer said today it proposed a stock swap "merger of
equals" that would be accounted as a pooling of interests.
Placer chief executive John Willson told reporters that
Canadian rules on pooling-of-interests required Bre-X holders
to own 45 to 55 percent of the resulting company. Bre-X chief
executive David Walsh would become Placer's biggest single
shareholder, he said.
