NexGold Announces Closing of US$24 Million Royalty
NexGold Announces Closing of US$24 Million Royalty
TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2025 -- NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG; OTCQX: NXGCF) (“NexGold” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced financing for a 2.9% net smelter returns royalty (the
“Royalty”) with Appian Capital Advisory Limited (“Appian”) in relation to the Company’s 100% owned Goldboro Gold Project
(the “Project”). Under the terms of the financing transaction, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Goldboro Gold
Mine Inc. (“GGM”), received cash consideration of US$24 million. This transaction secures for the Company a less dilutive
source of financing, and helps advance the Project through project development activities towards project financing and a
construction decision while maintaining the robust economics of the Project.
The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Royalty to retire the existing US$12 million credit facility held by Nebari
and exercised its buyback on the 0.6% net smelter return royalty also held by Nebari. Post this transaction, the Company
does not hold any material debt with third parties.
Royalty Details
• Royalty - The Royalty is on all minerals produced from the Project up until 1,250,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent
is achieved, and thereafter only on gold, for the life of the Project.
• Buyback – GGM will have a right at its sole discretion to repurchase a portion of the Royalty (effectively bringing the
Royalty down to 1.0% of net smelter returns), for US$29M within the third anniversary of the closing date and for
US$30.5M thereafter until the fourth anniversary of the closing date.
• Minimum Payments – Prior to commercial production being achieved at the Project, certain minimum payments will be
implemented if construction of the Company’s Goliath Gold Complex project in Ontario (the “ Goliath Project ”) is also
started or started in advance of the Project. No minimum payments are payable if the Goliath Project does not begin
construction prior to the Project achieving commercial production.
• Participation Right – For a period of three years from the transaction closing date, Appian has a right to negotiate its
participation for up to 50% of any project financing with respect to the construction of the Project. In addition, during
this three-year period, if GGM wishes to solicit offers for a stream or grant an additional royalty interest on the Project,
Appian will have the first right to offer to purchase the stream or additional royalty interest, which offer may be accepted
or denied by GGM.
Corporate Awareness and Marketing Agreement
NexGold also announces that the corporate awareness and marketing agreement previously entered into with Quantum
Ventures Inc (see news release dated April 10, 2025) has expired without being renewed by the Company.
