Positive Updates on Select Development Assets Outside of Current 5-Year Outlook & Acquisition of Silver Stream on South Railroad Project
MONTRÉAL, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OR Royalties Inc. (the “Company” or “OR Royalties” or “OR”) (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to provide the following select asset updates. Amounts presented are in United States dollars, except where otherwise noted.
Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties commented: “Today’s update further demonstrates the embedded material optionality within OR Royalties’ robust asset portfolio. None of the assets highlighted herein are included in OR’s current five-year GEO delivery growth outlook of 110,000 – 125,000 GEOs, however, based on the recent positive news associated with each, some or all may potentially be included in future iterations of our 5-year growth outlook. We are also pleased to announce the acquisition of a 100% silver stream on Orla Mining’s South Railroad project in Nevada, further increasing our Company’s exposure to Tier-11 mining jurisdictions.”
South Railroad (operated by Orla Mining Ltd.)
On May 19th, Osisko Bermuda Limited (“OBL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OR Royalites, completed the acquisition of a 100% silver stream (“Silver Stream”) from a fund managed by Orion Resource Partners (USA) LP (“Orion”) with reference to production from Orla Mining Ltd.’s (“Orla”) South Railroad project and Jasperiod Wash deposit (collectively, the “Project”) located in Elko County, Nevada, USA. Orla is planning to release an updated Feasibility Study (“FS”) for South Railroad by end-of-year 2025 and anticipates receiving final permits by mid-2026, followed by a projected pre-production construction timeline of approximately 12 months. Consequently, first production from South Railroad could occur as early as 2027. South Railroad is expected to be an open-pit heap-leach mine, using conventional processing methods, resulting in on-site doré production.
Pursuant to the Silver Stream agreement, OBL will purchase refined silver equal to 100% of the recovered silver produced from the Project for the life of mine at a price equal to 15% of the prevailing market price of silver. The Silver Stream is secured by the property and assets relating to the Project. OBL paid Orion $13 million on closing representing the total consideration for the purchase of the Silver Stream.
Orla is a multi-asset mid-tier gold producer; the company constructed and continues to operate the Camino Rojo open-pit heap-leach gold project in Mexico, and recently acquired the operating Musselwhite gold mine from Newmont Corp.
Spring Valley (operated by Solidus Resources, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waterton Mining)
OR Royalties is pleased to report that the United States Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) has announced an expected release for a Final Environmental Impact Statement on Solidus Resources, LLC’s (“Solidus”) Spring Valley gold project by July 11th, 20252. In addition, the BLM has guided for a Record of Decision by August 11th, 2025. This is expected to allow for project construction to commence in the third quarter of 2025.
On May 13, 2025, Solidus announced the receipt of a Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) regarding the potential financing of up to $835,000,000 for the Spring Valley Project3. The funding for this project is being considered under EXIM’s Make More in America initiative and its China and Transformational Exports Program.
Solidus released the results of the Spring Valley FS in February 2025, which outlined a +10-year life-of-mine (“LOM”) averaging over 300 thousand ounces (“koz”) of gold (“Au”) per year (excluding a residual year of gold leaching), with 348koz Au expected to be produced per year over the first five years. Spring Valley is envisaged as a single, large open-pit mine with a LOM strip ratio of 2.9:1. The FS was based on a Probable Mineral Reserve of 243 million short tons, grading 0.016 oz/ton Au for 3.8 million ounces (“Moz”) contained Au. Production estimates are based on an average LOM gold recovery rate of 80.5%.
OR Royalties owns a 2.0% to 3.5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on the core of the Spring Valley deposit, and a 0.5% NSR royalty on peripheral claims, the latter of which comprises only a small percentage of the overall defined Mineral Resource. The majority of the current pit constrained resource sits within OR Royalties’ 3.5% NSR royalty area. The royalty on the core claims becomes payable once 500koz Au are recovered from Spring Valley.
Cariboo (operated by Osisko Development Corp.)
In late April 2025, Osisko Development Corp. (“Osisko Development”) announced the results of a positive Optimized Feasibility Study ("OFS") for its permitted, 100%-owned Cariboo gold project ("Cariboo”), located in central British Columbia, Canada. The 2025 OFS was completed by BBA Engineering Ltd. as lead independent consultant and supported by other independent engineering firms. The OFS outlined a 10-year LOM averaging approximately 190koz Au per year, with 202koz Au expected per year over the first five years. Production estimates are based on an average LOM gold recovery rate of 92.6%.
According to the OFS, the project will now proceed through a single-phase construction period, and subsequently ramp-up directly to nameplate capacity of 4,900 tonnes per day, which is aligned with the existing permitting framework. The OFS also outlined streamlined processing facilities into a single location and improved flowsheet design with incorporation of a gravity circuit, as well as production of a higher-grade concentrate end-product. The FS was based on a Probable Mineral Reserve of 17.8 million tonnes, grading 3.62 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) for 2.071Moz contained Au. Production estimates are based on an average LOM gold recovery rate of 92.6%.
Cariboo is a fully permitted project, and subject to financing, first gold production from Cariboo could come as early as the second half of 2027 assuming construction commences in the third quarter of 2025.
OR Royalties owns a 5.0% NSR royalty on the Cariboo property.
Amulsar (operated by United Gold)
In early June, OBL completed the sale of its ownership interest in Lydian Armenia CJSC and the Amulsar mine to United Gold, a private gold development company. Concurrently, OBL entered into an amended and restated purchase and sale agreement (gold and silver) (the “Stream Agreement”) and an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Stream Agreement, OBL will purchase (i) refined gold equal to 3.34% of payable gold produced from the mine until ~82.3koz Au have been delivered and 1.31% of payable gold thereafter for the remaining LOM, and (ii) refined silver equal to 49.22% of payable silver produced from the mine until ~1.03Moz Ag have been delivered and 19.69% of payable silver thereafter for the remaining LOM. OBL shall pay a fixed $400 and $4.00 for each ounce of refined gold and refined silver delivered, respectively. Deliveries under the gold and silver stream shall commence upon repayment of a new third-party $150 million construction loan (expected ~4 years from the restart of construction) (the “Delivery Start Date”).
Gold and silver production attributable to OBL under the Stream Agreement prior to the Delivery Start Date shall be accrued and delivered in equal quantities over the 20 quarters following the Delivery Start Date. The previous stream cap, buy-back options in favour of the operator, and purchase price inflation adjustment have been eliminated. The existing unsecured gold offtake agreement has also been terminated. The amended gold and silver stream is secured against the assets of the Amulsar mine. Based on current estimates provided by United Gold, Amulsar is expected to produce approximately 168koz Au and 140koz Ag per annum over an initial 16-year mine life.
Additionally, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, United will pay to OBL approximately $26.5 million plus accrued interest. Interest shall accrue at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. Payments under the Credit Agreement shall commence on the Delivery Start Date. The Credit Facility is secured against the assets of the Amulsar mine, pari passu with the Stream Agreement.
Upper Beaver (operated by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.)
In late April 2025, Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (“Agnico Eagle”) provided an update on its 100%-owned Upper Beaver project (“Upper Beaver”) located in the Kirkland Lake camp of northeastern Ontario; a camp which also includes the Upper Canada and Anoki-McBean deposits. In June 2024, Agnico Eagle completed a positive internal evaluation for a standalone mine and mill scenario at Upper Beaver, with the project having the potential to produce an annual average of approximately 210koz Au and 3,600 tonnes of copper over a 13-year LOM starting in 2031. In addition, Agnico Eagle believes that a standalone mine and mill at Upper Beaver could have the potential to unlock significant development potential at depth and within satellite deposits, including the Upper Canada and Anoki-McBean exploration projects. In July 2024, Agnico Eagle approved a $200 million investment over approximately three years to further de-risk the project, with work that will include developing an exploration ramp and an exploration shaft to depths of 160 metres and 760 metres, respectively, to establish underground drilling platforms and to collect bulk samples.
In the second half of 2024 the shaft collar was excavated, the foundation for the headframe was completed and the power line was commissioned and energized. In the first quarter of 2025, installation of the structural steel for the exploration shaft head frame commenced. At the hoist room, the steel structure and cladding were completed during the quarter. Sinking of the exploration shaft is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025. Excavation of the box cut for the ramp portal was completed during the first quarter of 2025 and excavation of the exploration ramp is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Agnico Eagle is also advancing permitting and conducting several studies for the preparation of the impact assessment at Upper Beaver. Agnico Eagle expects to submit an impact assessment in late 2025.
OR Royalties owns a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Upper Beaver project, as well as a 2% NSR royalty that covers most of Agnico Eagle’s Kirkland Lake regional properties, including Amalgamated Kirkland, Anoki-McBean, Bidgood, and Upper Canada.
Ermitaño (operated by First Majestic Silver Corp.)
In 2024, First Majestic Silver Corp. (“First Majestic”) announced the discovery of the Navidad vein system, a new significant, vein-hosted gold and silver mineralized system adjacent to its currently producing Ermitaño mine. The drilling completed during the second half of 2024 significantly expanded the gold and silver mineralization discovered at the Navidad target. During 2025, additional drilling from surface is planned to continue testing the potential expansion of Navidad, which remains open in multiple directions. Expansionary and infill resource definition drilling will also take place from multiple new underground drilling stations constructed from the Ermitaño mine. Five drill rigs are currently active at Navidad.
In late March 2025, First Majestic announced its 2024 Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates for the Ermitaño deposit. As part of the update, First Majestic announced an initial Inferred Mineral Resource at Navidad, consisting of 2.3Mt grading 81 grams per tonne silver (“g/t Ag”) and 3.42 g/t Au, and containing 5.9Moz Ag and 249koz Au. To date, only a portion of the newly delineated vein system has been classified within the Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate, with significant upside potential to be realized by First Majestic through additional drilling.
On May 28th, 2025, First Majestic announced drill results targeting the Winter vein more than 100 meters east of prior drilling and intersected some of the highest-grade mineralization ever encountered on the Santa Elena Property: 6.8 meters grading 14.8 g/t Au and 642 g/t Ag. Five additional significant intersections were cut further downhole including that of the Navidad vein. Resource conversion drilling confirms the continuity of precious metal mineralization and, in general, returned significantly higher gold and silver grades than estimated from prior drilling.
Independent third-party metallurgical testing of Navidad and Winter mineralization under current mineral processing parameters for the Santa Elena processing plant was completed during the fall of 2024. The testing revealed exceptional gold and silver recovery rates with gold recoveries consistently exceeding 90% and silver recoveries exceeding 85%. The results firmly establish that Navidad’s mineralization is compatible with the existing processing infrastructure at First Majestic’s Santa Elena operation.
OR Royalties’ 2.0% NSR royalty on Ermitaño includes Navidad, the Cumobabi property, as well as the Luna Zone.
Wharekirauponga (Operated by OceanaGold Corporation)
In early March 2025, OceanaGold Corporation (“OceanaGold”) announced a significant milestone in that it had lodged its application for the grant of Fast-track approvals for the Waihi North Project ("WNP"), which includes Wharekirauponga Underground ("WUG"), under New Zealand's Fast-track Approvals Act 2024 (the "Act"). OceanaGold expects WNP to be fully-permitted (subject to any appeals) under the Act by the end of 2025. This timetable would allow OceanaGold to commence decline and underground development work for the proposed WUG mine in 2026. In 2025, $40-45 million of early works not requiring Fast-track approvals have been planned.
In addition, OceanaGold also announced drill results from WUG which continued to demonstrate the continuity and upside potential beyond the 1.2 Moz of Mineral Reserves declared within OceanaGold’s WNP Prefeasibility Study (‘PFS”), released in December 2024. The Mineral Reserve Estimate for WUG includes Probable Reserves of 4.1 Mt grading 9.2 g/t Au, containing 1.2Moz Au. MUG is expected to be the primary ore source until 2033, when mining transitions to WUG
OR Royalties owns a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Waihi West and WUG. Prior to the full-scale development of WUG, a small amount of ore from the currently operating MUG mine is expected to be sourced from within the Waihi West royalty boundary.
