Summit Royalties to Acquire 1% NSR on Newmont’s Saddle North Deposit

An update from Eagle Royalties Ltd. ( (TSE:SUM) ) is now available.

Summit Royalties has agreed to acquire a 1.0% net smelter return royalty on Newmont Corporation’s Saddle North copper-gold deposit in British Columbia for C$5 million, payable in Summit shares. The deal, which remains subject to customary closing conditions, will give Summit exposure to a large porphyry deposit with significant indicated and inferred gold and copper resources in a well-established mining jurisdiction.

Management describes the transaction as highly accretive on a net asset value per share basis and strategically important for expanding high-quality precious metals exposure. With Saddle North operated by Newmont and located near existing infrastructure and the Red Chris mine, the royalty is positioned to enhance Summit’s long-term growth profile and strengthen its standing within the precious metals royalty sector, while Newmont retains a limited buyback option on half of the royalty after commercial production begins.
