EMPRESS ROYALTY INCREASES GOLD STREAM ON
SIERRA ANTAPITE MINE AND SEEKS NEW DEBT
PROVIDER
Empress Royalty Corp. (TSXV:EMPR | OTCQB:EMPYF) ( “Empress Royalty” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce it is funding an additional payment of US$2.5M gold stream agreement (the
“Stream”) on the Sierra Antapite producing gold mine in Peru.
“The result of increasing the stream from 2.25% to 3.375% of the Sierra Antapite gold production
will provide immediate additional revenue into Empress ,” stated Alexandra Woodyer Sherron,
CEO and President of Empress Royalty. “ With the increase in revenue combined with our
development stage projects advancing on schedule, we are forecasting significant revenue next
year. We continue to build the fundamentals of our business w ith a diversified portfolio and a
robust pipeline creating value for our shareholders.”
As previously announced on July 28, 2021, Empress Royalty executed a US$10M gold stream
agreement on the payable gold production from the Sierra Antapite mine in Peru at 20% of the
gold spot price. The Stream is up to 4.5% of the payable gold production of the first 11,000 gold
ounces and 1% thereafter for life of mine. Empress Royalty initially funded US$5M in exchange
for receiving an immediate stream percentage of 2.25% and retained the right to fund an
additional US$5M in order to receive the remaining 2.25% stream percentage. Empress Royalty
and Sierra Antapite have now agreed that the Stream may be funded in three tranches instead
of two. Accordingly, Empress Royalty is funding an additional US$2.5M on September 30, 2021,
which has resulted in the Stream being 75% funded and Empress Royalty receiving 3.375% of all
gold production from the mine.
Empress Royalty is no longer pursuing discussions with Accendo Banco respecting potential debt
financing (see press release dated August 31, 2021). The Company is currently in discussions with
alternative financial groups to provide a debt facility on terms substantially similar terms to those
it was negotiating with Accendo Banco. Empress Royalty will provide further updates as they are
known.
