Further, we are pleased to complete the Private Placement of shares to La Mancha, providing significant capital for Elemental Altus to continue to grow our royalty portfolio.

As part of the Acquisition, we are delighted to welcome Prashant Francis to the Board. His extensive expertise in mining investments and capital markets will be instrumental in our pursuit of new opportunities to grow and we look forward to his contribution as a director.”

Background to the Transaction

The Company entered into a binding agreement with respect to the Acquisition on October 16, 2024, as announced the same day. Each of AlphaStream and the AlphaStream affiliate, being Alpha 1 SPV Limited, is an arm’s length party to the Company. No finder’s fee has been paid or is payable by the Company in connection with the Acquisition. The consideration of US$28,000,000 is equivalent to C$37,889,039 based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate for converting US dollars into Canadian dollars of US$1=CDN$1.35318 on October 3, 2024. The shares issued to Alpha 1 SPV Limited Shares pursuant to the Acquisition will be subject to restrictions on transfer for a period of four months plus a day pursuant to Canadian securities laws and TSX Venture Exchange requirements.

The Portfolio Acquisition provides immediate cash flow with approximately US$6 million additional revenue forecast in 2025 by consolidating the Portfolio and expected pro forma 2025 revenue increase of ~25% to US$31 million¹, driving a material step up in free cash flow with no increase in management costs. The calculation was made using 2025 broker consensus of US$25 million at the time of announcement of the Acquisition, adding an estimated US$6 million of revenue contribution from the increase in the Company’s ownership interest in the Portfolio to 100%, which is in line with year-to-date asset performance. The purpose of providing this figure is to provide a pro forma picture of the Company’s revenue now that the Acquisition has closed and the Company owns 100% of the entities that hold the Portfolio.
