Acquisition of Gold Stream on Euromax’s Ilovitza Project

 

On October 20, 2014, RGLD Gold AG (“RGLD Gold”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $175.0 million gold stream transaction with Euromax Resources Ltd (“Euromax”) that will finance a definitive feasibility study, permitting work, early stage engineering and a significant portion of the construction at Euromax’s Ilovitza gold-copper project located in southeast Macedonia, approximately nine miles west of the Bulgarian border.  RGLD Gold will make two advance deposit payments to Euromax totaling $15.0 million, which will be used for completion of the definitive feasibility study and permitting of the project, followed by payments aggregating $160 million towards project construction, in each case subject to certain conditions.  Payment of the first $7.5 million deposit is conditioned upon Euromax raising an additional $5 million in equity.  Royal Gold’s decision to proceed with the second $7.5 million deposit and the construction payments is conditioned upon, among other things, its satisfaction with the definitive feasibility study and environmental evaluations, demonstrated project viability, and sufficient project financing and permits to construct and operate the mine. The construction payments would be paid pro-rata with the balance of the project funding.  In exchange, Euromax will deliver physical gold equal to 25% of gold produced from the Ilovitza project until 525,000 ounces have been delivered, and 12.5% thereafter (in each case subject to adjustment).  RGLD Gold’s purchase price per ounce will be 25% of the spot price at time of delivery.
