In connection with the closing of the Arrangement (as defined in Item 2.01 below), on June 24, 2010, Apollo Gold Corporation (which following the completion of the Arrangement (as defined in Item 2.01 below) changed its name to Brigus Gold Corp.

David Russell, its Chief Executive Officer and President who, in connection with the Arrangement, resigned as director and Chief Executive Officer and President of Apollo. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Brigus agreed to pay $1,710,000 in severance (plus the cost of 36 months of COBRA continued health care coverage to Mr. Russell, his spouse and eligible dependents) to Mr. Russell in full satisfaction of all amounts owing to Mr. Russell under his employment agreement with Brigus. In addition, Brigus and Mr. Russell agreed that any stock options granted to the Officer and outstanding as of March 31, 2010 will remain exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) the regularly scheduled expiration of such option or (ii) the first anniversary of the closing of the Arrangement (as defined below in Item 2.01). The Severance Agreement also provides that:

Each party provides a general release of claims against the other;

For a period of one year following the closing of the Arrangement (as defined in Item 2.01 below), Mr. Russell agrees not to have any agreement, arrangement or understanding of any kind with Calais Resources Inc., Calais Resources Colorado, Inc., or any of their respective affiliates, successors or assigns (collectively, “Calais”) until Brigus has received payment in full (including principal and all accrued interest and fees) in respect of all Calais promissory notes held by Brigus (the “Notes”);

For a period of one year following the closing of the Arrangement (as defined in Item 2.01 below), Mr. Russell agrees not to own, manage or have any interest or contractual relationship in any property or mineral interests located within 10 miles (the “Area of Interest”) of the exterior boundaries of any property or mineral interests currently owned, leased, optioned, held under any other contractual arrangement or otherwise being explored, developed or mined by Brigus (or any of its Affiliates, successors or assigns, including, without limitation, Linear Gold Corp.)

For a period of one year following the closing of the Arrangement (as defined in Item 2.01 below), Mr. Russell will not hire, solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of Brigus’s or any of its affiliate’s employees, consultants or business relations to leave their employment or terminate their relationship with Brigus or any of its affiliates.

The foregoing description of the Severance Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Brigus and Mr. Russell have discussed the possibility of Mr. Russell investing up to $800,000 in the common shares of Brigus following the closing of the Arrangement (as defined below in Item 2.01). Any such investment by Mr. Russell would be subject to negotiation of final terms and definitive documentation, as well as customary closing conditions (including stock exchange approvals).

ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On June 25, 2010, Brigus completed the previously announced combination with Linear Gold Corp. (“Linear”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, dated March 31, 2010 (the “Arrangement Agreement”), among Brigus, 1526735 Alberta ULC, an unlimited liability company existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta and wholly owned by Brigus (“Subco”), and Linear, the businesses of Brigus and Linear were combined by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (“ABCA”).

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement:

Subco and Linear were amalgamated pursuant to the ABCA;

after giving effect to the Share Consolidation (as defined below in Item 3.03), each outstanding Linear common share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was exchanged for 1.3686 Brigus common shares (the “Exchange Ratio”);

after giving effect to the Share Consolidation (as defined below in Item 3.03), each warrant to purchase a Linear common share (a “Linear Warrant”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement (the “Effective Time”) was exchanged for a warrant to purchase a Brigus common share (a “Brigus Replacement Warrant”) which is exercisable to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Linear Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of Brigus common shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of: (A) the number of Linear common shares subject to such Linear Warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement (the “Effective Time”); and (B) 1.3686; the exercise price per Brigus common share subject to any such Brigus Replacement Warrants shall be an amount (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the quotient of: (A) the exercise price per Linear common share subject to such Linear Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) 1.3686; and

after giving effect to the Share Consolidation (as defined below in Item 3.03), each outstanding option to purchase a Linear common share ( “Linear Option”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement granted under Linear’s Stock Option Plan was exchanged for options of Brigus (the “Brigus Replacement Options”) granted under Brigus’s Stock Option Plan which are exercisable to acquire, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Brigus Stock Option Plan, the number of Brigus common shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of: (A) the number of Linear common shares subject to such Linear Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) 1.3686; the exercise price per Brigus common share subject to any such Brigus Replacement Option shall be an amount (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the quotient of: (A) the exercise price per Linear common share subject to such Linear Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) 1.3686; provided that employees of Linear who held Linear Options and whose employment was terminated in connection with the Arrangement had their Linear Options exchanged for Brigus Replacement Options which shall expire on the earlier of: (i) the current expiry date of the corresponding Linear Options; and (ii) the first anniversary of the date of completion of the Arrangement.

Upon consummation of the Arrangement, the amalgamating corporations (Linear and Subco) became a single, wholly owned subsidiary of Brigus and the shareholders of Linear, immediately prior to the Arrangement, became the owners of approximately 42.9% of the outstanding common stock of Brigus immediately following the effective date of the Arrangement (calculated on a fully-diluted basis).

The foregoing description of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2010 and the Arrangement Agreement attached thereto as Exhibit 10.1, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Upon the closing of the Arrangement on June 25, 2010 and pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Brigus issued approximately (i) 60,520,802 (which number reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) common shares to former Linear stockholders, (ii) 11,191,680 (which number reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) Brigus Replacement Warrants to former holders of Linear Warrants and (iii) 3,790,884 (which number reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) Brigus Replacement Options to former holders of Linear Options. The number of Brigus common shares, Brigus Replacement Warrants and Brigus Replacement Options was determined based upon the Exchange Ratio, which was determined based on an arms-length negotiation between Brigus and Linear. The issuance of Brigus common shares, Brigus Replacement Warrants and Brigus Replacement Options in connection with the Arrangement was made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof and applicable state laws.

The Brigus Replacement Options are being granted under our Amended and Restated Stock Option Incentive Plan and will be exercisable at the option of the holder thereof to acquire Brigus common shares on the terms and conditions set forth in such plan. The Brigus Replacement Options have exercise prices ranging from Cdn$0.76 to Cdn$2.20 (which Canadian dollar amounts reflect the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) and will expire at various times through October 5, 2014.

The Brigus Replacement Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder thereof. Of the 11,191,680 (which number reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) Brigus Replacement Warrants, there are 3,178,770 (which number reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) Brigus Replacement Warrants with an exercise price of Cdn$1.08 (which Canadian dollar amount reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03), 891,318 (which number reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) Brigus Replacement Warrants with an exercise price of Cdn$1.56 (which Canadian dollar amount reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) and 7,121,592 (which number reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03) Brigus Replacement Warrants with an exercise price of Cdn$2.20 (which Canadian dollar amount reflects the Share Consolidation described in Item 3.03). The Brigus Replacement Warrants will expire at various times through November 19, 2014.

ITEM 3.03 MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

In connection with the closing of the Arrangement, on June 25, 2010, Brigus filed articles of amendment to its articles of incorporation to effect a consolidation (or reverse stock split) (the “Share Consolidation”) of outstanding Brigus common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Brigus common share for every four Brigus common shares outstanding immediately prior to the Share Consolidation. Specifically, pursuant to the Share Consolidation:

all of the issued and outstanding Brigus common shares (which includes Brigus common shares held by current holders of Brigus common shares and those issued to former Linear stockholders in the Arrangement) will automatically be consolidated on the basis of one post-consolidation Brigus common share for every four Brigus common shares outstanding immediately prior to the Share Consolidation;

subject to the terms and conditions of each optionholder’s option agreement with Brigus and each warrantholder’s warrant certificate, the number of Brigus common shares issuable upon the exercise of Brigus’s outstanding options and warrants (which, following the consummation of the Arrangement, will include Brigus common shares issuable upon the exercise of Brigus Replacement Options and Brigus Replacement Warrants), the exercise price thereof and the number of shares reserved for future issuances under Brigus’s Stock Option Incentive Plan will be adjusted as appropriate to reflect the Share Consolidation; and

the exercise price with respect to Brigus’s series A junior participating preferred stock pursuant to Brigus’s Shareholder Rights Plan and the number of Brigus common shares issuable upon exercise thereof shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation.
