ACQUISITIONS

In October 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of JDS Silver Holdings Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary JDS Silver Inc. (together, “JDS Silver”) which, following the closing of the acquisition, were amalgamated with a subsidiary of Coeur to form Coeur Silvertip Holdings Ltd., which owns the underground Silvertip silver-zinc-lead mine in northern British Columbia, Canada. JDS Silver was purchased for approximately $153.2 million in cash and $36.0 million in Coeur common stock. In addition, the Company recorded $47.7 million of contingent consideration payable in cash and common stock upon reaching future permitting and resource declaration milestones. The cash consideration was funded with $100.0 million of borrowing under the Facility (as defined in Note 18 -- Debt) and cash on hand. Upon closing, the Company issued approximately 4.2 million Coeur shares to former shareholders of JDS Silver Holdings Ltd. The acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategic shift to a North America-focused mining portfolio.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The acquisition is not significant to the Company’s results of operations, individually or in the aggregate, because the Silvertip mine is in pre-production. As there are no significant differences from the Company’s historical results of operations, no pro forma financial information is provided.

The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed is preliminary as of June 30, 2018 and subsequent adjustments may result in changes to mineral interest and other carrying amounts initially assigned based on the preliminary fair value analysis. The principal remaining items to be valued are property, plant and equipment and mining properties, which will be finalized as management continues to review the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair value of these assets. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):
