TORONTO, ON – August 14, 2024 ─ Allied Gold Corporation (TSX: AAUC) ("Allied" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced streaming transaction
(the “Stream Transaction”) with Triple Flag International Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triple
Flag Precious Metals Corp. (collectively, “Triple Flag”).
Under the terms of the Stream Transaction, Allied has received a US$53 million upfront cash
payment (the “Advance Amount”) and will receive ongoing payments equal to 10% of the spot
gold price for a portion of its production. Triple Flag will have the right to purchase 3% of the
payable gold related to production at each of the Agbaou and Bonikro mines, subject to a step -
down to 2% after set delivery thresholds.
The closing of this transaction crystallizes significant value in Allied’s Côte d'Ivoire Complex (“CDI
Complex”) and provides the financial flexibility to advance exploration, growth, and optimization
initiatives. The CDI Complex, comprising the Agbaou and Bonikro mines, remains a central
element of Allied’s growth strategy.
Allied continues to advance its stream and gold prepay financing for its Kurmuk project and
evaluate how to redeploy cash flows otherwise previously allocated to Kurmuk and the CDI
Complex toward the advancement of its expansion plans at Sadiola.
