TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, March 15, 2021 /CNW/ - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a royalty transfer agreement with Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. ("Metalla") to transfer a 0.75% post-buy-down interest of the Company's up to 3.5% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") held on the Tocantinzinho gold project ("Tocantinzinho") located in northern Brazil (the "Transaction") for total consideration of US$9 million in cash (the "Purchase Consideration").
Cesar Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "the monetization of a portion of the NSR on Tocantinzinho provides the funds necessary to execute on key strategic initiatives at Sailfish. Specifically, the net proceeds will be used to repay all debt outstanding, fund the purchase of approximately 1.1 million common shares remaining under the normal course issuer bid and provide the seed capital to successfully spinout the Gavilanes silver property into a separate publicly traded company."
The Transaction is expected to close on or before March 19, 2021 ("Closing Date"). The Purchase Consideration will be paid to Sailfish as follows: US$6 million on the Closing Date and US$3 million within 60 days from the Closing Date.
