Phoenix Gold

 

On December 20, 2016, the operator of the Phoenix Gold Project, Rubicon Minerals Corporation (“Rubicon”), announced a restructuring transaction under Canadian regulations.  As part of the restructuring transaction, RGLD Gold AG’s (“RGLD Gold”) gold stream was terminated.  As discussed further in our Fiscal 2016 10-K, the Company’s stream interest on the Phoenix Gold Project was written down to zero during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.  In exchange for the termination of the gold stream, RGLD Gold received approximately three million common shares of Rubicon and three Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalties on properties owned by Rubicon, including a 1.0% NSR on the Phoenix Gold Project.

 

The fair value of the Rubicon common shares upon exchange was $3.4 million and is recorded within Other Assets on our consolidated balance sheets and is accounted for under our available-for-sale accounting policy, which is also discussed in our Fiscal 2016 10-K.  The Company also recognized a corresponding gain on the fair value of the Rubicon common shares received upon exchange.  The gain is recorded within Interest and other income on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The Company did not recognize any value for the 1.0% NSR on the Phoenix Gold Project received upon exchange as our interest on the Phoenix Gold Project was previously fully impaired.  No value was assigned to the other royalties received upon exchange as no mineralization is attributable to the area subject to the royalty interests at the time of the exchange.

 

Amendment to Mount Milligan

 

On October 20, 2016, Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) and Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. (“Thompson Creek”) completed the Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) previously announced on July 5, 2016, pursuant to which Centerra acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Thompson Creek.  RGLD Gold’s streaming interest at Mount Milligan was amended (the “amendment”) concurrently with the closing of the Arrangement.

 

Under the terms of the amendment, RGLD Gold’s 52.25% gold stream at Mount Milligan was amended to a 35% gold stream and an 18.75% copper stream.  RGLD Gold will continue to pay $435 per ounce of gold delivered and will pay 15% of the spot price per metric tonne of copper delivered.  Mount Milligan gold in concentrate in transit prior to October 20, 2016, will be delivered to RGLD Gold under the current 52.25% stream.  Under the terms of both the original and amended agreements, there is a maximum of five months between concentrate shipment and final settlement, and RGLD Gold expects to begin receiving gold and copper deliveries reflecting the amended stream agreement around March 2017.  The Company incurred approximately $7.7 million in direct transaction costs associated with the amendment.  These direct transaction costs have been capitalized as part of the Mount Milligan streaming interest within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets.
