Royalty Now Paying
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2022) - Elemental Royalties Corp. (TSXV: ELE)
(OTCQX: ELEMF) ("
Elemental
" or "
the Company
") is pleased to announce that it has received first
gold deliveries under the gold purchase and sale agreement (the "
Ming Gold Stream
") with Rambler
Metals and Mining Canada Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rambler Metals and Mining PLC
("
Rambler
"), the owner of the Ming Copper-Gold Mine (the "
Ming Mine
") in Newfoundland and
Labrador in Canada.
In parallel, Elemental's 1% Net Smelter Return ("
NSR
") royalty on the Mercedes Gold Mine
("
Mercedes
") is now payable. Elemental acquired a 1% NSR royalty on the Mercedes gold-silver mine
in July 2018, payable from the earlier of either a production threshold or July 28, 2022.
"Gold deliveries from the Ming Gold Stream is our first revenue from a Canadian mine, increasing our
exposure to Tier 1 mining jurisdictions,"
said Frederick Bell, Elemental's Chief Executive Officer.
"Combined with inaugural revenue from Mercedes expected in Q3, Elemental's near term revenue
profile is unique amongst royalty peers. The merger with Altus would provide investors with increased
scale and diversification across 11 producing assets."
First Gold From Ming Mine:
First delivery of 408 gold ounces from the Ming Gold Stream from sales relating to Q2 2022, with
gross value of approximately US$694,000 using a US$1,700/oz gold price
Rambler noted in its June 2022 and H1 2022 Operation Results announcement that "June as a
month and Q2 2022 as a quarter have set new records for the Ming Mine" and "we are confident
that we will be able to continue the improvement in performance though further optimisation"
Updated Reserve Statement due by the end of 2022 following the updated Resource statement
released in May 2022
Stream Terms
Under the terms of the Ming Gold Stream, Elemental will receive 50% of payable gold production until
Rambler has delivered 10,000 ounces of gold to Elemental, after which Elemental will receive 35% of
payable gold production until Rambler has delivered a further 5,000 ounces to Elemental. After Rambler
has delivered a total of 15,000 ounces of gold, Elemental will receive 25% of payable gold production for
the life of mine.
Elemental will make ongoing payments equal to 20% of the market price of gold with minimum gold
recoveries set at 85%. Rambler will make minimum gold deliveries of 1,200 ounces to Elemental in each
of the first three years of the Ming Gold Stream.
