NX Gold Mine Gold Stream Acquisition

On June 30, 2021, we announced that we entered into a precious metals purchase agreement for gold produced from the NX Gold Mine in Brazil (“NX Gold Stream”) with Ero Gold Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ero Copper Corporation, and certain of its affiliates (together, “Ero”).

On August 6, 2021, we made an advance payment of $100 million upon closing of the transaction. We will make up to an additional $10 million of further payments from the beginning of calendar year 2022 through the end of calendar year 2024 depending on meeting success-based targets related to regional exploration and resource additions. In return, we will receive 25% of the gold produced from the NX Gold Mine until the delivery of 93,000 ounces, and 10% thereafter. We will pay 20% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered until the delivery of 49,000 ounces, and 40% of the spot gold price thereafter.

A delivery of approximately 2,500 ounces of gold based on mine production through to closing is expected to be received from Ero within five business days of closing the transaction.

Red Chris Royalty Acquisition

On August 11, 2021, we acquired a 1.0% net smelter return royalty covering approximately 5,100 hectares which include the currently known mineralization and prospective exploration areas of the Red Chris Mine in British Columbia, Canada. We paid $165 million in cash consideration for the royalty to Glencore Canada Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Glencore International AG.

The Red Chris Mine is an operating open pit mine producing gold, copper and silver, and is located on the northern edge of the Skeena Mountains. The mine is owned and operated by the Red Chris JV, which is owned 70% by Newcrest Mining Ltd. (Newcrest) and 30% by Imperial Metals Corporation, in which Newcrest is the operator.
