Summit Royalties Ltd. (TSX-V: SUM) (OTCQB: SUMMF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a 1.0% net smelter return royalty on the Saddle North deposit owned by Newmont Corporation for consideration of C$5 million paid in shares of Summit. The acquisition is subject to conditions precedent which are customary for a transaction of this nature. Subject to satisfaction of conditions precedents, Summit expects to complete the acquisition in the near future.

 

“We are excited to announce this proposed acquisition of a large, high-quality royalty on Newmont’s Saddle North project,” commented Drew Clark, President and CEO of Summit. “The acquisition of the Saddle North royalty is highly accretive on a net asset value per share basis and provides exposure to a large gold-copper deposit under the stewardship of the world’s largest gold producer. Having royalty coverage on a porphyry target that boasts nearly 9 Moz of gold and 4.8 Blbs of copper supports our mandate of providing Summit shareholders with high-quality precious metals exposure, and we are excited to have Newmont as the operator of the underlying asset as we continue to build our company on an accretive per-share basis.”
