Alturas royalty acquisition

On January 29, 2020, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement with various private individuals for the acquisition of a NSR royalty of up to 1.06% (gold) and up to 1.59% (copper) on mining concessions as part of the Alturas project, which is located within the Coquimbo Region of Chile and held by a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”), Compañia Minera Salitrales Limitada (“CMSL”).  Total consideration for the royalty is up to $41 million, of which $11 million was paid on January 29, 2020.  A future payment of up to $20 million is conditional based on a project construction decision by Barrick and the size of the minable mineralized material on the date of the construction decision.  A further future payment of $10 million will be made to the private individuals upon first production from the mining concessions.
