Gold Royalty Corp. management comments
“We are excited to be partnering with Jean-Marc Lacoste and the strong technical team at Monarch to assist in the reopening of the Beaufor mine and to add additional high quality royalties to our portfolio.
“These assets will not only add potential near term cash flow to our Company, but also a strong pipeline of development and exploration projects located in Quebec, a very favourable mining jurisdiction.
“The Monarch royalties nicely complement the pro-forma portfolio of over 100 royalties in the Americas resulting from our previously announced acquisition of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (“ELY”) (TSX-V: ELY).
“It has been a very eventful start to our journey of growing into a leading royalty and streaming company. This announcement follows a string of exciting events for us and we are focused on driving continued success capitalizing on the experience and depth of our board and management team, strong balance sheet and capital markets presence.”
David Garofalo, CEO, President, and Chairman of Gold Royalty
.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Monarch as they advance the proposed reopening of the Beaufor mine, which has a consolidated historical production in excess of 1 million ounces of gold and has strong exploration potential.
“This is a compelling investment opportunity for Gold Royalty. The addition of the royalty on the Beacon mill will provide additional potential near-term cash flow as the mill restarts and through ramp-up of operations at the Beaufor mine.
“The added royalties on Croinor Gold, McKenzie Break and Swanson properties provide longer term exposure to the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt and complete a very attractive portfolio of assets.”
John Griffith, Chief Development Officer of Gold Royalty
