Voisey’s Bay

 

The royalty on production of nickel, copper, cobalt and other minerals from the Voisey’s Bay mine in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada is directly owned by the Labrador Nickel Royalty Limited Partnership (“LNRLP”), in which the Company’s wholly-owned indirect subsidiary is the general partner and 90% owner. The remaining 10% interest in LNRLP is owned by a subsidiary of Altius Minerals Corporation (“Altius”).

 

On September 13, 2018, LNRLP entered into an agreement with Vale Canada Limited and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parties”) to comprehensively settle their long-standing litigation related to calculation of the royalty on the sale of all concentrates produced from the Voisey’s Bay mine.  Refer to Note 14 of our Fiscal 2018 10-K for further discussion on the claims previously asserted by LNRLP.

 

The Parties agreed to a new method for calculating the royalty in respect of concentrates processed at Vale’s Long Harbour Processing Plant, which will be effective for all Voisey’s Bay mine production after April 1, 2018.  Under the terms of the settlement, Royal Gold expects the 3% royalty rate will apply to approximately 50% of the gross metal value in the concentrates at the nickel, copper and cobalt prices prevailing at the time of settlement.  As those metal prices rise or fall, the percentage of gross metal value in the concentrates applicable to the royalty would correspondingly increase or decrease.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $4.9 million in royalty revenue attributable to Voisey’s Bay metal production from the June 30 and September 30, 2018 quarters.  Royalty payments for each quarter are due 45 days after quarter-end.  Refer to Note 4 for further discussion on our revenue recognition.
