Lithium Royalty Corp. (TSX: LIRC) is pleased to announce that it has completed the partial sale of its Tres Quebradas royalty to Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. and has received total cash consideration of $28 million, originally announced on December 17, 2024.
Ernie Ortiz, LRC’s President and CEO said, “This transaction allows LRC to rebalance its portfolio, replenish its balance sheet, and sell only a portion of a royalty for a substantial premium over the value embedded in our share price. We look forward to continuing to build our portfolio with attractive new royalties and will continue to evaluate capital allocation options, including share buybacks.”
The proceeds from the transaction will be used to acquire additional royalties, share repurchases and/or for general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds represent approximately 12% of the current market capitalization of the Company. LRC originally acquired an aggregate 1.0% royalty on the Tres Quebradas project in July 2018, at that time owned and operated by Neo Lithium Corp., for an aggregate cost of $14 million. LRC subsequently acquired a further 0.5% royalty interest for an acquisition cost of approximately $27.5 million in July 2023.
Stikeman Elliott LLP acted as legal counsel to Lithium Royalty Corp.
LRC also confirms that its annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the 2024 fiscal year will be filed on SEDAR+ today.
