VANCOUVER, July 3, 2018 /CNW/ - Maverix Metals Inc. (the "Company" or "Maverix") (TSXV: MMX) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of a significant portfolio of 50 royalties (the "Royalty Portfolio") in accordance with the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into with Newmont Mining Corporation and its affiliates (collectively, "Newmont") on May 29, 2018 (the "Transaction").

As consideration for the Transaction, Maverix has issued to Newmont, 60,000,000 common shares, 10,000,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") and made a cash payment of US$17,000,000. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at US$1.64 per common share.

Transaction Highlights

  • Materially Increased Scale and Asset Diversification: The Royalty Portfolio consists of 50 separate royalties on assets located in 11 different countries, ranging from in production to exploration stage;
  • Immediate Cash Flow with Significant Cash Flow Growth Potential: Estimated cash flow in 2019 of C$6 million to C$8 million from the Royalty Portfolio, with the potential to grow cash flow to over C$20 million per year (1);
  • Provides Substantial Leverage to Gold and More than Doubles Attributable Gold Resources: The Royalty Portfolio is predominantly gold and will add approximately 340,000 ounces of attributable gold in measured and indicated resources to the Maverix portfolio, an increase of approximately 100% to Maverix's current portfolio (2);
  • Expanded Footprint in Nevada: The Royalty Portfolio contains royalties on a number of assets in Nevada, a world-class mining jurisdiction;
  • Future Optionality: A number of royalties are on exploration stage properties, several of which are being advanced through various stages of development; and
  • Adds New Major Shareholder: Newmont, one of the world's leading gold mining companies with a market capitalization of more than US$20 billion, owns approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding shares of Maverix. Newmont has joined Pan American Silver Corp. ("Pan American Silver") and Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields") as major shareholders.

Newmont Shareholder Agreement

As part of the Transaction, Newmont and Maverix entered into a Shareholder Agreement dated June 29th, 2018, pursuant to which Newmont, among other things, shall be entitled to nominate one representative for election to the Maverix Board of Directors as long as its share interest is equal to or exceeds 10% of Maverix's issued and outstanding common shares, as well as certain rights in respect of equity financings of Maverix, including certain anti-dilution rights.

Newmont has also agreed to provide Maverix with an opportunity to make an offer to acquire certain metal streams or metal royalties, which Newmont might contemplate selling in the future.

Transaction Closing Details

Certain of the royalties that were due to be transferred pursuant to the Transaction were subject to a right of first refusal ("ROFR") that permitted the underlying property owner the right to repurchase the specific royalty for cash on the same valuation as established by Newmont and Maverix. A select few of the individual ROFRs were exercised which included, the royalties payable by Barrick Gold on the western extension of the Hemlo mine, Premier Gold on the McCoy Cove project, and royalties payable on two additional non-producing exploration stage projects. As a consequence, Maverix has acquired 50 royalties pursuant to the Transaction and will receive aggregate total proceeds of approximately US$29 million in cash upon the completion of the ROFR transactions.

Dan O'Flaherty, President and CEO of Maverix, commented, "We are pleased to have completed another transformational transaction that meaningfully increases our scale and cash flow, further diversifies our portfolio geographically and significantly increases our attributable gold equivalent resources. While a limited number of the royalties were repurchased for cash at full value, we expect the resulting increase in our financial capacity will enhance and accelerate our ability to continue to grow our precious metals royalty and streaming portfolio."

Maverix Capital Structure

Maverix now has a total of approximately 214.4 million common shares issued and outstanding, of which Newmont, Pan American Silver and Gold Fields hold approximately 28%, 26%, and 20% respectively.

Post receipt of the proceeds from the completion of the ROFR transactions, Maverix expects to have approximately US$35 million in cash on hand, and a further US$30 million available on its revolving credit facility. 

The transaction was negotiated at arm's length between Maverix and Newmont. No brokerage or finder's fees were paid by Maverix in association with the acquisition.
