19.11.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

VAL-D’OR, Québec, Nov. 19, 2018 -- Abitibi Royalties Inc. (RZZ-TSX-V, ATBYF-OTC-Nasdaq Intl: “Abitibi Royalties” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into an agreement with Renforth Resources (“Renforth”) in order to acquire a 1% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on the New Alger Project, which contains the historic Thompson-Cadillac Mine (mined on a limited basis from 1929-1939), located in the Abitibi region of northwest Québec (Fig. 1 & 2). The New Alger Project is 100% owned by Renforth and adjoins Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (“Agnico Eagle”) LaRonde Mine to the southeast (Fig. 1 & 2). The purchase price paid by the Company for the 1% NSR totals CDN$190,000, which will be paid in cash and from treasury. In addition, the Company has purchased 35,600 common shares of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (“Agnico Eagle”) at US$39.00 per share for a total purchase price of approximately US$1.4 million (or CDN$1.8 million). The Company now owns 414,597 common shares of Agnico Eagle. The newly acquired shares were purchased for investment purposes.

New Alger Project (1% NSR)

The New Alger Project contains an Inferred Resource estimate that can be viewed here. The project is considered to be prospective at depth, as there is believed to be no known exploration or historical mining below 400 metres (the O’Brien Mine, immediately to the east was mined to a depth of 1,050 metres and Agnico Eagle’s LaRonde mine’s mineralization continues below 3,100 metres).

Agnico Eagle Share Purchase

In February 2017, the Company announced that it had delivered 108,700 common shares of Agnico Eagle under its covered call contracts and that Abitibi Royalties would look to reacquire the shares, if possible, through put contracts at prices below what they were sold. To date, the Company has reacquired 79,100 of the common shares at prices below what they were sold, in addition to the premiums earned on the put contracts. No additional put contracts are currently outstanding. Details on the recently acquired shares can be found in Table 1 below.
