SABRE GOLD ANNOUNCES SALE OF ROYALTY FOR US$7 MILLION
January 30 2023 - 6:15AM
Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (TSX: SGLD, OTCQB: SGLDF) (“
Sabre
Gold” or the “
Company”) announces the
sale of the 1% net smelter returns royalty (the “GC Royalty”) it
holds on the Kerr-Addison Mine claims owned by Gold Candle Ltd. for
cash proceeds of US$7 million. In connection with the sale, the
Company terminated the previously announced proposed sale of the GC
Royalty (October 24, 2022) and will pay the agreed upon break fee
of US$500,000.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
the sale of this non-core asset to improve the viability of our key
assets. Accordingly, the Company will buy back two thirds of the
4.5% gross production royalty on the Company’s Copperstone Mine,
settle US$2 million of the Company’s outstanding debt and add the
remaining cash balance to the Company’s treasury.
“This cash sale allows the Company to achieve
its stated objectives of improving our balance sheet while also
improving the projected economics of the Copperstone Mine,” said
CEO and President Andrew Elinesky, “Along with our recently closed
financing and the sale of another minor non-core asset we are in a
much stronger position to accelerate the development of our fully
permitted asset in Arizona.”
In addition, the Company anticipates that their
current payable debt will be extended by 18 months from the current
due date of December 31, 2023.
