The the royalty covers ninety-seven (97) unpatented claims and one (1) patented lode claim (the "Royalty Property") (See Figure 2). According to a Preliminary Economic Assessment, published by Rye Patch Gold Corp. on October 2, 2014, Lincoln Hill has a measured and indicated oxide resource totaling 285,000 ounces of gold and 7.3 million ounces of silver contained in 23.4 million tonnes of mineralized material, as well as an additional 74,000 ounces of gold and 2.2 million ounces of silver in inferred oxide resources (See Figure 1). The report was filed on SEDAR on October 6, 2014 and demonstrates that the majority of the resources is located on the Royalty Property.

Trey Wasser, President and CEO of Ely Gold commented on the Transaction, "We are very pleased to add another high-quality royalty to our asset portfolio. The Lincoln Hill Royalty fits our strategy of purchasing or originating royalties, at or near producing mines, with quality operators. As Coeur moves toward the permitting of the new Stage VI leach pad at Rochester, the higher grade Lincoln Hill ore will be in very close proximity. This Royalty represents the kind of catalyst for growth we are focused on as we grow our royalty portfolio. We look forward to delivering more news on the Lincoln Hill Property, and permitting progress by Coeur, in the near future."

Coeur's acquisition of Lincoln Hill

Coeur purchased the Lincoln Hill Property, as part of a larger property package, from Alio Gold Inc. ("Alio"), in October 2018. It was the subject of a press release dated October 16, 2018 (the "Coeur Press Release") Alio acquired the property package in its 2018 acquisition of Rye Patch Gold Corp. The Lincoln Hill Property package also includes 23 unpatented claims known as the Rosal Claims. Ely Gold currently holds a 1.5% NSR on the Rosal Claims (See Figure 2.)

According to the Coeur press release, the acquisition offered, in part, the following synergies with Rochester:

  • Lincoln Hill average gold resource grade is more than four-times higher than Rochester's current grade
  • Lincoln Hill is expected to become a source of higher-grade, low-cost production capable of bolstering future cash flow and further extending Rochester's mine life
  • Consistent with Coeur's strategy of growing its production and cash flow with the addition of low- risk, high-quality and high-return asset

The Transaction

Ely Gold will pay the Seller a total of $750,000 payable as follows:

  • $400,000 at Closing
  • $350,000 payble on January 10, 2020

The 2020 payment will accrue simple interest at 5% and be secured by the Lincon Hill Royalty. In addition, Ely Gold will issue the Seller 500,000 common stock purchase warrants.
