Detour Gold Corporation (TSX:DGC) has denied purchase offers. Detour Gold does not have a sale process in place nor has it received any offers to purchase its shares and remains focused on the life of mine plan, while remaining open (as it has been historically) to value accelerating opportunities. Detour Gold made a complaint to the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) about Paulson & Co. Inc.'s continued misleading statements. This action took place prior to about Paulson's ill-timed press release. Paulson said it will seek to oust Detour Gold’s Directors and replace them with candidates willing to put the company up for sale. Paulson further said in a statement that Micheal Kenyon, Detour's interim Chief Executive, told the U.S. investment bank, he had been approached by "a major gold mining company interested in potentially acquiring" Detour. It said Micheal Kenyon told them he would only agree to sign a confidentiality agreement with the would-be buyer if Paulson signed a stand-still agreement. "Paulson requested that Detour Gold's Board immediately disclose such material to all shareholders and the investing public and announce a formal process to evaluate all strategic opportunities," the statement said. "In addition, Paulson has constructively asked the independent Directors of the Board to reconstitute the Board and to announce a search process for a new Chief Executive Officer simultaneous with a review of strategic alternatives. “Detour Gold believes Paulson's actions constitute serious misconduct under securities laws. Statements made by Paulson in its press release are simply false and mislead the market. It is in fact Paulson's own actions that led them to come into possession of material non-public information from another party. These actions are part of Detour Gold's complaint to the OSC.
