    Für TFPM sind die Nachrichten über Montage Gold ebenfalls positiv, da das Unternehmen eine beträchtliche Lizenzgebühr für das Projekt erhält. Je schneller es also gebaut wird, desto eher setzt die nächste Wachstumsphase ein (7,6k+ GEOs/Jahr für TFPM oder 6% Wachstum).

    Koné Development Montage Gold Corp. Côte d'Ivoire Royalty Gold 2.0% NSR royalty


    HIGHLIGHTS:

    • US$825m financing package secured from strategic partners Wheaton Precious Metals and Zijin Mining to fund the build of the Koné project in Côte d'Ivoire, increasing Montage's liquidity sources to US$968m inclusive of cash on hand

    • Wheaton Precious Metals to provide a US$625m gold stream and a US$75m loan facility
      • Montage retains significant exploration upside as the stream is limited to the Koné and Gbongogo deposits plus a 500-meter boundary and an expanded area of interest until certain dropdown thresholds are met
      • Montage can reduce the stream deliveries to nil by supplementing scheduled deliveries with ounces produced from outside of the Koné and Gbongogo deposits, following the delivery of an agreed minimum number of ounces
      • Montage can accelerate its deleveraging with flexibility to deliver in excess of its minimum required commitments
      • Montage participates in the upside in the gold price as the production payment is based on a gold price sliding scale for the first 5 years, with a minimum transfer price of 20% at a gold price above US$2,100/oz

    • Strategic shareholder, Zijin Mining, demonstrates further support for the advancement of the Koné project by providing Montage with US$125m of funding sources comprised of:
      • US$50m loan facility with a 9-year tenure with an annual interest rate of SOFR + 4%, a 3-year drawdown availability period, and no upfront fees nor commitment fees
      • US$75m fully redeemable subordinated gold stream, with the first and second buyback option dates anticipated to occur at the end of 2029 and 2030, respectively

    EMX Royalty Partner, Zijin Mining, Provides an Update on Expanded Copper and Gold Production in Serbia, by @newsfile
    Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2024) - EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (FSE: 6E9) (the "Company" or "EMX")…
    ceo.ca


    EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (FSE: 6E9) (the "Company" or "EMX") is pleased to announce that its royalty partner at Timok in Serbia, Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. ("Zijin"), released unaudited interim results that show markedly increased levels of copper and gold production at Timok in the first half of 2024. Zijin reported 90,008 tonnes of copper and 2,894 kilograms of gold produced from Timok's Cukaru Peki Mine in H1, 2024 (see Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2024). This aligns with the record Q2 royalty revenues of $1,586,000 reported by EMX in its Q2 MD&A filings. On page seven of its 2024 Interim Report, Zijin also states that the combined Serbia Zijin Copper (which includes Zijin's Bor operations, which are not covered by EMX's royalties) and Serbia Zijin Mining projects (which includes the Timok/Cukaru Peki Mine which is covered by an EMX royalty), now have a capacity to produce 450,000 tonnes of copper on an annual basis. This is a significant increase compared with previous years.

    Zijin has previously announced that the throughput of its processing plant at Cukaru Peki is being expanded from 12,000 tonnes per day to 15,000 tonnes per day1. The expansion of capacity and production at Cukaru Peki is part of an ongoing effort by Zijin to de-bottleneck their operations in Serbia, and by doing so, will unlock additional potential in the greater district. In addition to the ongoing production from the Upper Zone at Cukaru Peki, Zijin is also working to develop the underlying Lower Zone porphyry copper-gold deposit. The Lower Zone at Cukaru Peki will be developed through block caving, and EMX believes that the Cukaru Peki Mine will become one of the more important block cave development projects in the world.

    On page 6 of the interim report, Zijin also highlights high grade copper gold exploration potential at its "MG Zone" in the "southern part of the Cukaru Peki Copper and Gold Mine". We do not yet know whether Zijin's exploration efforts will be successful and become material to EMX. However, it is notable that a discussion of the newly described MG Zone appeared in the interim report.

    EMX congratulates Zijin on its outstanding performance in the Bor and Timok districts in Serbia. EMX currently holds a 0.3625% NSR royalty over Zijin's Brestovac exploration permit area (including the Cukaru Peki Mining licenses), as well as portions of Zijin's Jasikovo-Durlan Potak exploration license north of the currently active Bor Mine. EMX also owns a 2% NSR royalty on precious metals and a 1% NSR royalty on base metals on the Brestovac West License, which lies immediately adjacent and to the west of the Brestovac Mining License and the Cukaru Peki Mine (see Figure 1). All of EMX's Timok royalties are uncapped and cannot be repurchased or reduced. The Company is currently receiving quarterly royalty payments from Zijin for copper and gold production from the Cukaru Peki Mine.

    AbraSilver Announces New High-Grade Drill Results at Diablillos; Intersecting 50 Metres at 250 g/t Ag Beyond JAC & 15 Metres at 496 g/t Ag at Oculto NE


    Key highlights from the latest drill assay results include:

    Oculto Northeast:

    • Hole DDH 24-031 was designed to expand the existing known shallow mineralization beyond the open pit margin at Oculto Northeast. Drilling encountered high-grade silver mineralization with 15.0 m grading 496 g/t Ag and 0.28 g/t Au, starting at a downhole depth of 152 m, within which was 5.7 m grading 1,151 g/t Ag and 0.22 g/t Au.

    Extension of JAC Zone:

    • Hole DDH 24-033 was a step-out hole in the JAC southwest area that was drilled to extend the existing Mineral Resources beyond the current open pit boundary. Drilling intersected a broad zone of high-grade mineralization, with 50.0 m at 250 g/t Ag, starting at a downhole depth of 110 metres and included an interval of 5.0 m grading 1,036 g/t Ag

    New Discovery Area (Sombra Target):

    • Hole DDH 24-036 was the first reconnaissance hole targeting a brand new zone, named the Sombra target, located approximately 500 metres to the southeast of Oculto and JAC, that is believed to run parallel to the existing Mineral Resources.

    • Drilling intersected mineralization near-surface, with 22.0 m at 40 g/t Ag starting at a downhole depth of only 42.5 m marking a successful initial test of this new exploration area. Additional drilling is now planned to test the extent of mineralization in this new silver zone.

    Luca Mining Corp. ("Luca" or the "Company") (TSXV: LUCA) (OTCQX: LUCMF) (Frankfurt: Z68) is pleased to announce the start of an exploration drilling campaign at the Tahuehueto gold mine in Durango State, Mexico. The Tahuehueto property comprises a large, epithermal gold/silver vein system and this campaign is the first significant exploration drill program on the property in over 10 years. The Company expects the current campaign to include up to 5,000 metres of diamond core drilling in 26 holes from underground over the next 4-6 months. The drill plan takes advantage of recently developed areas to potentially extend the resource along the modeled veins.

    Dan Barnholden, CEO, commented, "Tahuehueto is a brand new mine which will soon be in commercial production. There are all the indicators of significant resource expansion potential at this project, and I am excited that our recently completed financing enables us to not only explore that potential but expeditiously. We have barely scratched the surface at Tahuehueto, and we are focused on unlocking all potential value for shareholders. Tahuehueto, and this new drill program, will provide ongoing drill results and steady material news flow for investors over the coming months and into the new year." <Listen to Dan provide details>

Wheaton’s expanding commitment to us validates the quality of our Fenix project, and their continued backing as a cornerstone financial partner, in addition to the support of our shareholders, has put Rio2 in a position of certainty to fund Fenix to production. We are highly excited to advance construction in a responsible manner, build the next gold mine in Chile, and generate material value for all Rio2 stakeholders.”

    Randy Smallwood, President and CEO of Wheaton, commented: “We are excited to continue our support of Rio2 and Fenix with this project financing package.
