CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

(TheNewswire)

TORONTO, ON, August 13, 2024 – TheNewswire – Silver Crown Royalties Inc. (“Silver Crown”, “SCRi” or the “Corporation”, or the “Company”) is pleased announced it has exercised its additional royalty option (the “Option”) under its amended and restated royalty agreement dated April 26, 2024 with Pilar Gold Inc. (“Pilar”) and its Brazilian subsidiary (the “Vendor”) to increase its royalty to 90% of the aggregate net proceeds of silver sold as a result of the processing of ores from the PGDM complex and related milling operations (“PGDM”) in Goias State, Brazil. To exercise the Option, SCRi paid Pilar US$1,310,000 (less SCRi’s transaction expenses and other previously agreed upon deductions) in cash to increase the net smelter return royalty to 90% from 31% of the cash equivalent of the silver produced from the PGDM complex. The exercise of the Option allows Pilar to pursue certain productivity enhancements at PGDM while allowing Silver Crown Royalties to increase its revenue base.

Peter Bures, Silver Crown’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We’re excited to expand our ongoing partnership with Pilar’s management and economic interest in the PGDM complex by increasing our royalty to 90% of the cash equivalent of the silver produced. We believe the capital injection will enable Pilar to ramp up operations toward full capacity over the next twelve months providing additional benefit to SCRi beyond the upsized minimum cash equivalent of 4,000 ounces of silver per quarter payment obligation.”

Jeremy Grey, Pilar’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “With this capital injection, we should be able to achieve self-sustaining throughput at Pilar in the near-term, paving the way for a successful operation in the latter part of this year. We thank Peter and his team at SCRi for their tremendous support and look forward to making Pilar a success for both of us.”
