Hochschild said the deal, dated 6 October, will see Tiernan acquire Railtown under a business combination agreement, paving the way for a public listing on Toronto's TSX Venture Exchange.
As part of the transaction, Tiernan has launched a brokered private placement targeting CAD $35m (£18.66m), led by Canaccord Genuity and BMO Capital Markets, with support from Raymond James and Haywood Securities. Proceeds will be used to advance the Volcan gold project.
Hochschild also plans to sell part of its stake in Tiernan via a secondary offering, boosting liquidity in the newly listed shares.
As of 0850 BST, Hochschild shares were down 0.98% at 380.83p.
