Elemental Royalties Completes Acquisition of Ming Gold Stream
Frederick Bell, Elemental’s Chief Executive Officer, commented that completing the acquisition of the Ming Gold Stream is their first transaction with a Canadian mine. It will provide the necessary cash flow to Elemental, while boosting exposure to Tier 1 mining jurisdictions.
The equity financing was completed at a significant premium to the implied price of the all-share Hostile Bid and further reinforces Elemental’s ability to execute on cash flowing royalties and attract new high-end shareholders.
Elemental has made a cash payment of US$11 million to Rambler, as consideration for the Ming Gold Stream. It was funded via proceeds of Elemental’s previously announced equity financing in the form of a non-brokered private placement of 9,275,000 common shares of the company, at a price of C$1.51 per Share for proceeds to Elemental of C$14,005,250. An affiliate of La Mancha Fund SCSp, a Luxembourg-based deep value fund, was involved in the financing too, with an investment of approximately US$8.5 million (approximately C$10.9 million) for 7,250,000 shares.
