Sandspring Receives First Draw Down Under Its Streaming Agreement with Silver Wheaton

23.12.2013  |  Marketwired

DENVER, COLORADO--(Marketwired - Dec 23, 2013) - Sandspring Resources Ltd. ("Sandspring" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SSP) is pleased to announce that it has received the initial draw down of US$13.5 Million (the "Initial Draw Down") from Silver Wheaton (Caymans) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Silver Wheaton Corp. pursuant to the terms of the precious metals purchase agreement that was announced in November. Under the agreement, Silver Wheaton agrees to pay Sandspring total cash consideration of US$148.5 million plus an ongoing production payment of the lesser of US$400 (subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment starting in the fourth year after the completion test is satisfied) and the prevailing market price for 10% of the life of mine payable gold production from the Company's Toroparu Project in Guyana S.A. The Initial Drawdown was payable upon meeting certain conditions which have now been satisfied. The proceeds from the Initial Drawdown will be used primarily for advancement of the final feasibility documentation for the Toroparu Project.

The balance of the US$148.5 million is subject to Silver Wheaton's election to proceed and is payable in installments during construction of the Toroparu Project once all necessary mining licenses have been obtained and conditions pertaining to final feasibility, the availability of project capital finance, the granting of security to Silver Wheaton and other customary conditions are satisfied. If following receipt of feasibility documentation, or after December 31, 2015 if feasibility documentation has not been delivered, Silver Wheaton elects not to proceed, Sandspring may elect to either return US$11.5 million to Silver Wheaton and terminate the agreement or to reduce the stream percentage from 10% to 0.774%.

Sandspring's financial advisor in the precious metals purchase agreement was Cutfield Freeman & Co and Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP was Sandspring's legal advisor.
