BALMAT -- The Balmat zinc mine is changing hands in a deal worth close to $40 million.

Titan Mining Corporation recently announced the deal to acquire the mine from Star Mountain Resources Inc., which in early 2016 filed federal paperwork announcing intent to take upwards of $80 million in zinc from the mine.

The sale was done for $1 million on the closing date and another $2 million over the next two years. All in all, the mine is being sold for a total of $39.8 million, according to a press release.

The initial $1 million is being used to pay a Development Authority of the North Country loan, plus $500,000 in accrued interest.

WWNY is reporting the mine’s new owners could create 150 jobs.
