ABRASILVER ACCELERATES US$6.85 MILLION PAYMENT TO EMX ROYALTY CORP, SECURING DIABLILLOS PROJECT
Abrasilver Resource Corp. has made the final property payment to EMX Royalty Corp. under the terms of the second amended and restated share purchase agreement dated March 21, 2017, as amended, in respect of the company's Diablillos silver-gold project in Salta province, Argentina. This final payment, originally due by July 31, 2025, was completed ahead of schedule by the company paying $6.85-million (U.S.), a reduced total obligation from the original $7.0-million (U.S.) payment obligation contemplated by the purchase agreement.
With this final payment, Abrasilver has fully satisfied its purchase obligations, securing 100-per-cent ownership of the Diablillos project.
John Miniotis, president and chief executive officer of Abrasilver, commented: "The completion of this final payment marks a key milestone for Abrasilver. By making this payment early, we have further strengthened our financial position while maintaining our focus on rapidly advancing the Diablillos project towards production. We would like to thank the EMX team for their collaboration and flexibility throughout this process."
EMX's interest in the purchase agreement resulted from EMX's acquisition of a portfolio of royalty interests and payments from SSR Mining Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (see EMX news releases dated July 29 and Oct. 21, 2021). EMX continues to retain a 1.0-per-cent net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the Diablillos project.
