GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) is pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced (September 5, 2018) sale of the Santa Gertrudis royalty for US$12 million to Metalla Royalty and Streaming Ltd  

The Company has elected to take US$6 million of the US$12 million sale price in common shares of Metalla at a deemed price of CAD$0.78. This Share Consideration represents a total of 10.1 million common shares of Metalla representing 9.9% of Metalla shares outstanding and will be subject to a 4-month hold period.

Brad Langille, President and CEO of GoGold commented, “We are very pleased to become a shareholder of Metalla and immediately realize the value of the royalty and also maintain exposure to the royalty by holding their equity.”

GoGold maintains a very strong balance sheet with a strong cash position and no debt. The Company is in a strong financial position and seeking opportunities to be the consolidator of undervalued juniors in Mexico.

The Company sold the Santa Gertrudis Project to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico”) on November 2, 2017 for cash consideration of US$80 million and was granted a 2% net smelter royalty on the Santa Gertrudis Project. This is the final step in the monetization of the Santa Gertrudis Project for total proceeds of US$92 million which the Company purchased in 2014 for US$11 million.
