JAMES BAY TERRITORY, QUEBEC
Vancouver, BC, February 7, 2020 – Royal Gold Mining Inc. (ROYL:TSXV) (the “Company”) is pleased to
announce it has acquired from an arm’s length party, the Eliza Gold Project, an aggregate of three claims
blocks covering an area of 408 hectares (1008.15 acres) with multiple historic gold occ urrences strategically
situated within and near Azimut’s Elmer Property, James Bay Territory, Quebec. Terms of the transaction are
detailed at the foot of this News Release.
Royal Gold’s new Eliza Gold Project is an early stage project with three historic high grade gold occurrences
located on three claims blocks comprised of a total of 8 mineral licences (or claims) located over a distance
of 30 kilometers both within and near Azimut’s Elmer Property and it’s Patwon gold zone. The Eliza Project
and Azimut ’s Elmer Property cover the same east -west trending package of generally felsic -intermediate
rocks. The three properties were not staked following the Azimut announcement of January 14, 2020
(“Azimut Exploration drills 102 m of 3.15 g/t Au at Elmer”) , but were identified as high value exploration
targets and staked by the vendor as early as August 2016.
The Eliza Gold Project is located in the James Bay region of northwestern Quebec, approximately 500 road-
km north of the mining center of Val d’Or and 820 kilometres, as the crow flies, northwest of Montreal. The
paved James Bay Road crosses the James Bay Road Block which is Royal Gold’s easternmost block of the
Eliza Gold Project.

to the east of Azimut’s Patwon gold discovery. Two of them are very high grade, with up to 176.61 g/t (5.7
ounces) gold in rock grab samples. The James Bay Road passes through Royal Gold’s eastern -most block
(the James Bay Road Block) and passes less than 500 meters east of the outcrop from which the 176.61 g/t
gold sample was collected.
A more detailed description of the gold mineralization, with maps, will be provided once compiled.
