The sale of the stock, which represents 49.9 percent of Sutter's outstanding shares, to RMB Resources Ltd. is set to close at the end of next month, said U.S. Energy, which currently owns 54.4 percent of Sutter.
Sutter's gold mining work is focused in California.
RMB, which is buying the shares as an investment, also received the right to vote U.S. Energy's remaining Sutter shares.
A wholly owned unit of the Rand Merchant Bank division of Sydney, Australia-based FirstRand Bank, RMB is expected to help finance Sutter's working capital needs.
Shares of U.S. Energy fell 10 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $3.05 in afternoon trading.
