FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TSXV: MTA NYSE American: MTA August 14, 2025
Vancouver, Canada: Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (“Metalla” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MTA) (NYSE American: MTA) announces its operating and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. For complete details of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, please see the Company's filings on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) or EDGAR (www.sec.gov). Shareholders are encouraged to visit the Company's website at www.metallaroyalty.com.
Brett Heath, CEO of Metalla, commented, “The second quarter of 2025 marked another important milestone in Metalla’s growth, highlighted by the successful closing of our inaugural revolving credit facility and recommissioning of the Endeavor Mine. The facility lowers our cost of capital and materially enhances our financial flexibility to continue scaling our business. We are also pleased that, in its first month of production, the Endeavor Mine has achieved its operating costs targets while producing 5,398 dry metric tonnes of silver-lead concentrate in July. We anticipate our first cash flows in the third quarter. Further and subsequent to quarter end, we are delighted to see Hudbay’s joint venture announcement for a 30% interest in Copper World by Mitsubishi Corporation and Equinox Gold’s announcement that Castle Mountain has been accepted into the United States Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council’s FAST-41 Program as we believe both updates are key to progressing these assets to a construction decision.”
