“We are excited to see that Waterton Global Resource Management (“Waterton”) is currently drilling at the multimillion-ounce Spring Valley Gold Project. We believe that Spring Valley is a key asset within Waterton’s asset portfolio and this drilling program clearly confirms their commitment and priority to advancing the project. The drill program being conducted is currently utilizing two drill rigs. We believe that Spring Valley is the only remaining multimillion-ounce Nevada-based gold asset that is currently not owned by a major gold production company. As a significant royalty holder of Spring Valley, we are extremely pleased to see forward momentum onsite at Spring Valley,” stated Todd Hilditch, President and CEO of Terraco.
Terraco holds the following Spring Valley core and district royalty assets (see maps below):
- up to a 3% NSR on a majority of the current resources of Spring Valley (claims boundary in red);
- a 1.5% NSR on a portion of Spring Valley on the north side of the resource (claim boundary in green);
- a 0.5% NSR within a one-half mile of the red claims and outlined in blue (not including the area in green);
- a 2% NSR on the 35sq km Moonlight Project adjoining Spring Valley to the north
