On September 30, 2020, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Kinross Gold Corporation to sell our 40% membership interest in the Peak Gold Project for cash consideration of $49.2 million and to sell our 809,744 common shares in Contango Ore, Inc. (“Contango”), our partner in Peak Gold, LLC, for cash consideration of $12.1 million.

In addition to the total cash consideration of $61.3 million, we received the following royalty interests:

The royalties are recorded as exploration stage royalty interests in Stream and royalty interests, net in our consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and have a combined value of approximately $4.4 million. We recorded a gain of $33.9 million on the sale of our 40% membership interest in the Peak Gold Project. The mark-to-market increase of $3.6 million on the sale of our 809,744 common shares in Contango is included in Fair value changes in equity securities on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
