    https://www.businesswire.com/n…rst-Quantum-Minerals-Ltd.

    Royal Gold, Inc. (RGLD) (together with its subsidiaries, “Royal Gold” or the “Company,” “we” or “our”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary RGLD Gold AG (“RG AG”), has entered into a precious metals purchase agreement (“Stream Agreement”) for gold deliveries referenced to copper production from the Kansanshi copper-gold mine (“Kansanshi”) in the North Western Province of Zambia, operated and 80% owned by a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (“First Quantum”). Royal Gold has agreed to make an advance payment of $1.0 billion (“Advance”) in return for a gold stream referenced to copper production, with deliveries of 75 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced until the delivery of 425,000 ounces; 55 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced between the delivery of 425,001 ounces and 650,000 ounces; and 45 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper produced thereafter. Royal Gold will initially pay 20% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered. Additionally, and depending on the achievement of certain objectives as described below, Royal Gold will increase the percentage of spot gold price paid for each ounce delivered to 35% and has also granted options to First Quantum to accelerate stream deliveries. “I am pleased to announce this transaction, which provides Royal Gold with exposure to a world-class mine located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction and operated by a first-tier counterparty,” commented Bill Heissenbuttel, President and CEO of Royal Gold. “This large and long-life stream will add another significant gold interest to the enlarged portfolio we are creating with the recently announced transactions for Sandstorm Gold and Horizon Copper, and enhance our position as a premier growth company in the streaming and royalty sector. The immediate cash flow from this acquisition paired with the cash flow of the combined Royal Gold, Sandstorm and Horizon portfolios will allow us to rapidly pay down the debt incurred to complete this acquisition.” Acquisition Highlights Immediate gold revenue and cash flow from a producing copper-gold mine: The effective date of the transaction is August 5, 2025 and Royal Gold expects to receive approximately 12,500 ounces of gold in 2025. Gold deliveries are expected to average approximately 35,000-40,000 ounces per year over the next 10 years. Accretive per share metrics: Funding sources for the acquisition consisted of available cash resources and a draw on our revolving credit facility, without issuing new shares. Established operation with a world-class resource, and long-life and large-scale production: The Kansanshi copper-gold mine has been First Quantum’s flagship operation since 2005, and known reserves are expected to support continued production for an additional mine life of over 20 years. First-tier operator with a long and established operating history in Zambia: First Quantum is a large and experienced international mining company with a record of operating Kansanshi without interruption since completing construction in 2005. First Quantum’s other significant mining assets in Zambia include the Sentinel mine, which started production in 2015, and the Enterprise mine, which started production in 2023. Well-established mining jurisdiction with strong governmental support: Zambia was the 10th largest global copper producer and mining was the second-largest contributor to Zambia’s GDP in 20231. The Government of Zambia launched the “Three Million Tonnes Copper Production Strategy” in July, 2024, to support and promote investment in the sector. Other large mining companies active in Zambia include Barrick Mining, Vedanta Resources and China Non-Ferrous Metal Mining Group.
