Ely Gold Royalties Closes First Producing Royalty

02.05.2019  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, May 2, 2019 - Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (TSXV: ELY) (OTCQB: ELYGF) ("Ely Gold") or the ("Company") is pleased to announce that on April 27, 2019, it closed its previously announced purchase of a 0.75% (three quarters of one percent) gross receipts royalty (the "Isabella Royalty") on the Isabella Pearl Mine ("Isabella Pearl") from a private estate ("the Owner"). Isabella Pearl is located in Mineral County, Nevada and is operated by Gold Resource Corp. ("GORO" NYSE American: GORO). Ely Gold paid the Owner a cash consideration of US$300,000 for the Isabella Royalty. (see Ely Gold press release dated October 21, 2019)

Subsequent to the Closing, GORO announced its first gold production at Isabella Pearl (see GORO press release dated April 29, 2019). As defined, the Isabella Royalty is payable on gross receipts and is not subject to any "commercial production" thresholds. Therefore, royalty payments will begin to accrue from this initial production. The first royalty payment to Ely Gold will be subject to the recovery, by GORO, of US$31,250 in advanced royalty payments.

Isabella Pearl contains Proven and Probable reserves estimated at 2,934,400 tonnes grading 2.28 grams per tonne, for 214,800 gold ounces. The current mine life is 4.5 years. These Mineral Reserves and production estimates are available in the "Report on the Mineral Resource and Reserve for the Isabella Pearl Project" dated December 31, 2018 http://www.goldresourcecorp.com/NV-reserves.php. Based on the early production start, GORO has stated that it expects production of 29,000 ounces of gold in the first 12 months of commercial production, increasing to 40,000 in year 2 (see GORO press release dated March 26, 2019).

In the March 26 release, GORO also reported that a 2019 drill program is planned to define new mineralization to potentially expand the Isabella Pearl open pit. In addition to adding to the Isabella Pearl deposit, GORO is targeting nearby gold discoveries for additional open pit mining to the north west, including the Scarlet and Civit Cat North West targets. Scarlet begins approximately 100 meters north west of Isabella Pearl's current planned pit boundary. Ely Gold holds a 2.5% net smelter royalty ("NSR") on much of the Isabella Pearl expansion property including the Scarlet and Civit Cat North West targets (see figure #1).

Trey Wasser, Ely Gold's President & CEO commented, "This first producing royalty marks a significant milestone for Ely Gold Royalties. We must commend GORO for an incredible achievement in constructing Isabella Pearl and reaching production in just 10 months. As Isabella Pearl is fully developed and the other satellite properties are fully explored, our royalty interests could become significant assets for Ely Gold. Our shareholders only need to look at GORO's track record of development and expansion in their Mexico operations to envision the future of their Nevada Mining Unit. With the GORO team again operating at such a high level, we believe that the market will now begin to appreciate the long-term value in our large royalty position in GORO's valuable Nevada assets."

Ely Gold's purchase of the Isabella Royalty was the fifth transaction that the Company has completed in concert with GORO's consolidation of its Nevada Mining Unit (see figure #2). These transactions highlight Ely Gold's growth strategy of generating royalties, through property acquisition and consolidation, at or near producing mines throughout Nevada.

Since 2016, total Ely Gold property sales to GORO of US$1,500,000 have created the following royalties:

  • 2.5% NSR on certain exploration ground at Isabella Pearl;
  • 2.5% NSR at the County Line Property;
  • 2-3% NSR at the Mina Gold Property; and
  • 2% NSR on certain claims at the Camp Douglas Property.

Stephen Kenwood, P. Geo, is a director of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Kenwood has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release.
