Goldcorp Inc. (GG) shareholders voted Thursday to approve Newmont Mining Corp.'s (NEM) takeover of the firm.

More than 97% of votes cast backed the deal, Goldcorp said in a statement.

Newmont shareholders will vote April 11 on whether to issue shares in connection with the transaction.

The companies expect the deal to close in the current quarter.

Newmont reached a deal in January to buy rival Canadian gold producer Goldcorp in a $10 billion, all-stock deal.
