  • $1-million on or before March 31, 2025;

  • $1.5-million on or before March 31, 2026; and

  • $2.5-million on or before March 31, 2027.

CMC may, in lieu of making further option payments, immediately exercise the option by: (a) paying to Sailfish $4-million (U.S.) in cash on or before the first anniversary of TSX-V acceptance of the agreement; or (b) paying to Sailfish $3.5-million (U.S.) in cash after the first anniversary of TSX-V acceptance of the agreement.

On or before exercise of the option, CMC and Sailfish will enter into a net smelter return royalty agreement with respect to the property which grants Sailfish:

  • A 1.5-per-cent net smelter return royalty on unencumbered grounds with an option for CMC to buy back 1.0 per cent of the net smelter returns royalty for $3-million;

  • And a 0.5-per-cent net smelter returns royalty on encumbered grounds.

The agreement and proposed issuances of CMC shares remain subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. The company did not pay any finders' fees in connection with the agreement.
