Gold Royalty Completes Vares Copper Stream Acquisition

 

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 4, 2024 – Gold Royalty Corp. (“Gold Royalty” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: GROY) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of a copper stream (the “Stream”) on the Vares Silver Project (“Vares”), operated by a subsidiary of Adriatic Metals plc and located in Bosnia and Herzegovina (the “Transaction”).

 

David Garofalo, Chairman and CEO of Gold Royalty, commented: “Closing this Transaction further solidifies our outlook for strong free cash flow growth in 2024 and beyond. We believe Vares is an exceptional asset that supplements our robust portfolio of royalties on long-life and low-cost projects in top-tier mining jurisdictions. We look forward as our operating partners deliver at the assets underlying our interests and our revenue growth potential is crystalized.”

 

Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company acquired the Stream from OMF Fund III (Cr) Ltd. (“OMF”), an entity managed by Orion Mine Finance Management LP, in consideration for US$50 million, satisfied at closing by paying US$45 million in cash and issuing 2,906,977 common shares of the Company to OMF at closing.

 

In connection with the Transaction, the Company completed its previously announced amendment to its credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal and the National Bank of Canada, which expanded its existing secured revolving credit facility by US$5 million. The facility now consists of a US$30 million secured revolving credit facility with an accordion feature providing for an additional US$5 million of availability subject to certain conditions.
