Dolly Varden Silver Proposes Merger with Alaska Gold Producer

Published

on

On December 8, 2025 Dolly Varden Silver announced a proposed merger with Alaska-based Contango ORE.

Canada, 11th Dec 2025 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Dolly Varden Silver. On December 8, 2025 Dolly Varden Silver (TSX-V: DV) (NYSE MKT: DVS) (FSE: DVQ) announced a proposed merger with Alaska-based Contango ORE.

Dolly Varden Silver has secured 100,000 hectares of prospective land containing five past-producing silver mines. In the last five years, the company has grown from a $20 million valuation to about C$560 million.

This growth stems from two strategic pillars: aggressive drilling programs totalling 196,000 meters that have unlocked substantial silver inventory, and accretive acquisitions executed primarily through share transactions to preserve cash.

In the last few years, the company has hit significant gold intercepts. DV’s metal value is now approximately a 50/50 split between silver and gold.

Contango is a NYSE American-listed company that explores for and produces gold and associated minerals in Alaska.

Contango holds a 30% interest in the Manh Choh Gold Project in Alaska, which produced 173,400 gold ounces for the first nine months of 2025 (52,020 gold ounces attributable to Contango) at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$1,505 per ounce.

Cash distributions to Contango for the first nine months of 2025 totalled US$87 million (C$120 million).

In Alaska, Contango and its subsidiaries also have a lease on the Johnson Tract project, the Lucky Shot project, 100% ownership of approximately 8,600 acres of peripheral State of Alaska mining claims, and a 100% interest in approximately 145,000 acres of State of Alaska mining claims, giving Contango the exclusive right to explore and develop minerals on these lands.

“Dolly Varden Silver is planning to merge with Contango Ore—forming Contango Silver & Gold, a new high-grade producer in the making,” confirms Jay Martin on his YouTube channel.

On December 8, 2025 Mr. Martin sat down with Shawn Khunkhun, the CEO of Dolly Varden, on the Jay Martin Show to explain what each company brings to the table and how this merger creates a 20-year pipeline of high-grade silver and gold development across Alaska and British Columbia.

“For me, it always starts with the people,” Khunkhun told Martin. “Look at who we’re merging with, and who they’re run by. Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse [President, CEO & Director of Contango] is a name that is synonymous with Alaska and success. Rick built Nova Gold, which today is a $6 billion company.”

“Contango has a solid five-year plan. They’ve got operations, a great balance sheet, and a good pipeline. The Dolly Varden merger makes sense for them because it takes their five-year plan and turns it into a 20-year plan.”

“With our large, high-grade mineral inventory, Contango now has two decades of development and exploration with geographical consistency across Alaska and Northwest, BC.”

“We’ve got a wonderful exploration team, and a capital markets team, but we don’t have a team of operators,” continued Khunkhun. “How do we move the Kitsault Valley assets from exploration through development into production? With this merger, we’re getting exposure to the cash flow to develop our project in a non-dilutive way. Contango is buying silver, Dolly Varden is buying production.”

“There’s a property in the Contango portfolio called Lucky Shot. A big drill program is planned and fully funded for 2026. If Lucky shot is brought into that pipeline, whether that’s in 2027 or 2028, that could take Contango’s pro forma production profile from 60,000 ounces to 90,000 ounces and then to 110,000 ounces. Dolly Varden’s Kitsault Valley assets can add another significant production layer.”

“What I’m trying to do here is leverage high-grade gold production into growing silver and gold resources. The merger will create North America’s next mid-tier silver and gold producer.”

“The young creative explorers that have made Dolly Varden a dominant player in the Golden Triangle are going to come onto those Contango projects, Johnson Tract, Lucky Shot and Manh Choh, looking for expansion, extension and discovery opportunities.”

“Rick and his sophisticated team of mine builders and operators are going to come into our project and take us through development and into production. It’s a perfect marriage,” concluded Khunkhun.

Upon completion of the Transaction, existing Contango and Dolly Varden shareholders will each own approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of MergeCo, on a fully diluted in-the-money basis.

MergeCo is expected to be renamed Contango Silver & Gold Inc. and will be led by Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse as CEO, Shawn Khunkhun as President and Mike Clark as Executive Vice President and CFO.

“With Dolly Varden’s cornerstone land position in the Golden Triangle, one of the most exciting and prospective mining districts in the world, we see great potential to expand resources and advance Kitsault Valley to production,” stated Van Nieuwenhuyse. “The combined company will be well financed for growth that is expected to continue to deliver long-term value for its shareholders.”

“The combined company is poised to become a unique, multi-asset platform for silver and gold production, focused exclusively on the United States and Canada,” stated Khunkhun in the December 8, 2025 press release. “Our respective boards are fully aligned on how to best realize this vision.”

Transaction Highlights & Strategic Rationale:

Complementary Assets: Creation of a North-American focused multi-stage silver and gold company, 

Well Funded: Over US$100 million combined cash on hand, only US$15 million in debt

High-Grade Projects: Leverage to high-grade development of assets anchored by the Lucky Shot and Johnson Tract projects in Alaska, and the Kitsault Valley silver-gold project in British Columbia 

Shared Capex Strategy: Common development philosophy to pursue low-capex DSO projects that can be developed using existing processing facilities.

Exploration Potential: Track record of high-grade exploration success across the portfolio.

Enhanced Capital Markets Profile: The combined company’s shareholders to benefit from greater critical mass with a combined market capitalization of approximately US$812 million (C$1.1 billion)

Insider and Institutional Support: All directors and officers of Contango and Dolly Varden, as well as significant shareholders of both companies, have signed voting support agreements in favour of the Transaction.

Expanded Presence: Listing on the NYSE American, and intention to apply to list on the Toronto Stock Exchange following the closing of the transaction.

Post Oak Group Strengthens Cross-Border M&A Capabilities for Middle-Market Clients

Published

on

Post Oak Group, recently named the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, is expanding its cross-border M&A capabilities to meet this demand, reinforcing its position as a premier advisor to founders, shareholders, and institutional investors pursuing international transactions.

Houston, Texas, United States, 21st Apr 2026 – As middle-market companies increasingly look beyond U.S. borders for growth, strategic partnerships, and capital, the demand for investment banks equipped to navigate cross-border complexity has never been greater. Post Oak Group, recently named the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, is expanding its cross-border M&A capabilities to meet this demand, reinforcing its position as a premier advisor to founders, shareholders, and institutional investors pursuing international transactions.

The firm’s cross-border platform is built to address the unique challenges of international dealmaking: differing regulatory frameworks, currency exposure, tax structuring, cultural nuances in negotiation, and the coordination of buyers, investors, and counsel across multiple jurisdictions. With a track record spanning 12 countries and more than $82 billion in completed transactions, Post Oak Group has developed an execution framework designed specifically for the middle market, one that delivers institutional-grade advisory without the bureaucracy and inefficiency often associated with larger global banks.

 

A Differentiated Approach to International Dealmaking

Middle-market companies pursuing cross-border transactions have historically faced a difficult choice: engage a bulge-bracket bank where their deal risks being deprioritized, or work with a regional advisor lacking true international reach. Post Oak Group was built to eliminate that tradeoff.

“Middle-market founders and shareholders deserve the same caliber of cross-border execution that larger companies receive from global banks,” said Alex Treistman, Managing Partner of the Capital Markets practice at Post Oak Group. “Our platform is designed to deliver that level of sophistication while maintaining the senior-led attention and agility that defines how we operate.”

The firm’s recognition as the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas reflects this differentiated positioning, a testament to the firm’s ability to combine institutional-grade execution with the responsiveness and customization that middle-market clients require.

 

Senior-Led Execution Across Every Engagement

A defining feature of Post Oak Group’s cross-border model is the direct involvement of senior bankers throughout the lifecycle of every transaction. The firm’s leadership team brings more than 250 years of combined experience across capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and a wide range of industry specializations.

Rather than delegating execution to junior staff once a mandate is won, a common dynamic at larger institutions, Post Oak Group’s senior professionals remain deeply engaged from initial strategy through closing. This partner-led model is particularly critical in cross-border engagements, where judgment, relationships, and real-time decision-making often determine the outcome of a transaction.

 

Global Reach, Integrated Platform

Post Oak Group operates a fully integrated investment banking platform spanning capital markets and M&A advisory, with approximately 300 professionals across advisory, execution, research, operations, and support functions. This integration allows the firm to seamlessly coordinate capital raises, recapitalizations, and buy-side or sell-side M&A mandates across jurisdictions, a capability that is increasingly important as middle-market companies pursue hybrid transactions combining capital infusion with strategic partnership or acquisition.

The firm’s international reach spans North America, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and select markets in Asia, supported by long-standing relationships with institutional investors, family offices, strategic acquirers, and private equity sponsors across the globe.

 

Meeting a Growing Need in the Middle Market

Cross-border M&A activity in the middle market has accelerated meaningfully in recent years, driven by supply chain realignment, the globalization of founder-owned businesses, and increased appetite from international strategic acquirers and institutional investors for U.S.-based middle-market assets. Post Oak Group’s expansion of its cross-border capabilities is designed to meet this demand head-on.

 

About Post Oak Group

Post Oak Group is a leading middle-market investment bank headquartered in Houston, Texas, recently recognized as the Best Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas. The firm operates a fully integrated platform spanning capital markets and M&A advisory, with a track record of more than $82 billion in transactions across 12 countries. Post Oak Group serves founders, shareholders, and institutional investors through senior-led, partner-driven engagements designed to deliver institutional-grade execution with boutique-level attention.
