Summit Royalty to Acquire Cash Flowing 1.0% NSR Royalty on the Madsen Project

 

 

Summit Royalty Corp. a private royalty and streaming company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire an existing 1.0% net smelter return royalty on the producing Madsen Project from a Fund managed by Sprott Resource Lending Corp. for total consideration of $9.9 million. Madsen is located in the prolific Red Lake mining district of Ontario and is 100% owned and operated by West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX-V: WRLG). Unless otherwise indicated, all $ amounts are expressed in US dollars.

 

“We are very pleased to announce this royalty acquisition on a producing mine within Canada that materially enhances Summit’s existing royalty portfolio,” said Drew Clark, Founder and President of the Company. “Madsen is a storied mine within the prolific Red Lake mining district, having produced over 2.5 million ounces of high-grade gold during its lifetime. This acquisition materially increases Summit’s cash flow and is accretive across all metrics and, importantly, provides Summit with a substantial portion of the Company’s pro-forma net asset value to Canada. This acquisition also demonstrates our ability to continue to source deals on a bilateral basis outside of a typical sales process, which we will continue to do as we grow Summit into a preeminent cash flowing junior royalty and streaming company focused on precious metals.”

 

Key Acquisition Terms and Transaction Highlights

  • A 1.0% NSR royalty that covers all mineral properties comprising Madsen, covering approximately 4,700 ha of highly prospective exploration ground.
  • $9.9 million purchase price, with $7.9 million in cash due at closing and a contingent $2.0 million cash payment due after the earlier of: (i) production on Madsen exceeding 60 Koz of recovered gold (annualized) for three consecutive quarters; and (ii) total production on Madsen reaching a cumulative 150 Koz of recovered gold from the date of signing the definitive agreement.
  • Accretive to Summit’s pro-forma net asset value, revenue and cash flow per share, while allowing for potential tax synergies as a Canadian-domiciled corporation.
  • Peak royalty revenue of over $2.5 million per annum, based on the analyst consensus production profile on Madsen and consensus gold prices.
  • In conjunction with the previously announced reverse takeover of Eagle Royalties Ltd. announced in Summit’s July 2, 2025 news release, nearly half of Summit’s pro-forma net asset value will be located in Canada following completion of the RTO Transaction and the acquisition of the NSR royalty on Madsen.

 

Project Background

 

Madsen is an underground gold mine located in Red Lake, Ontario, and is currently ramping-up to commercial production, which is expected in Q4-2025. West Red Lake acquired Madsen in 2023 and has since invested over C$160 million focused on technical and development work. When combined with the previous operator, over C$500 million has been invested in Madsen since 2017. Historically, Madsen produced 2.5 Moz Au at 9.7 g/t Au between 1938 to 1976 and 1997 to 1999.

 

In May 2025, West Red Lake completed a 14,490 tonne bulk sample that resulted in strong grade and contained gold reconciliation and confirmed the efficacy of their strong emphasis on tighter drill spacing. As of December 31, 2021, and using a gold price of US$1,800 per ounce, Madsen had an Indicated Resource of 6.9 Mt at a grade of 7.4 g/t Au containing 1.7 Moz of gold, and an Inferred Resource of 1.8 Mt at a grade of 6.3 g/t Au containing an additional 0.4 Moz of gold. This 2021 resource estimate, done at a materially lower gold price, does not include the substantial amount of drilling completed by the previous operator and West Red Lake since the beginning of 2022. As of June 30, 2024, and using a US$1,680/oz gold price, Madsen has a Probable Reserve of 1.8 Mt at 8.2 g/t Au containing 0.5 Moz of gold.
