Monarch Sells an Additional 0.75% NSR on Beaufor to Triple Flag Precious Metals for $4.5 Million

 

 

 

 

 

MONARCH MINING CORPORATION (TSX: GBAR) (OTCQX: GBARF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (TSX: TFPM) (TSX: TFPM.U) whereby Triple Flag will acquire an additional 0.75% net smelter return royalty on gold production at the Beaufor Mine for cash consideration of $4.5 million.

 

This transaction follows the acquisition announced this morning by Triple Flag of an existing 2% NSR and includes the cancellation of the 1% step-down under a prior royalty agreement. Upon completion of both transactions, Triple Flag will hold a 2.75% NSR on the Beaufor Mine.

 

“We are thrilled to partner with Triple Flag, a leading global partner whose investment objectives are aligned with our own values and growth objectives,” said Jean-Marc-Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarch. “This new non-dilutive investment will also allow us to strengthen our financial position as we continue to prepare our Beaufor Mine and Beacon Mill for a restart by June 2022.”

 

“We are pleased to partner with Monarch as it prepares to restart production at its past-producing Beaufor Mine later this year and continues to expand near-mine resources with ongoing exploration,” said Shaun Usmar, Founder and CEO of Triple Flag. “This royalty will provide Triple Flag with near-term cash flows that will persist for years to come. In the last resource update, Monarch managed to more than double its M&I resources and has since drilled a further 25,000 metres. We are excited about the addition of this high-quality asset to our portfolio.”

 

In preparation for the restart, approximately 15,000 tonnes of ore have been extracted and transported to the Beacon Mill. The objective is to begin by processing barren rock to properly recommission the plant, and then process the ore and pour the first gold bar. The Corporation expects this process to take 6 to 10 weeks.

 

The Corporation expects to close the agreement with Triple Flag on or around February 11, 2022.
