"The additional 0.15% of the Côté / Gosselin Royalty further strengthens our position on one of the most significant gold assets in Canada," commented Brett Heath, Chief Executive Officer of Metalla. "By increasing our royalty, we have enhanced our leverage to one of the premier gold assets globally. IAMGOLD continues to demonstrate the scale and quality of the Côté-Gosselin system. We expect this acquisition to further bolster Metalla's portfolio as IAMGOLD expects to integrate Gosselin into the mine plan and resources continue to expand." 

Côté / Gosselin (1.5% NSR royalty)

On October 31, 2025 Metalla completed the acquisition of the remaining 0.15% interest in the Côté / Gosselin Royalty for total consideration of C$3.4 million in cash from an arm's length seller. The acquisition increases Metalla's total royalty percentage to 1.5%.

The Côté mine reached commercial production in August 2024 after pouring its first gold in March 2024 and has achieved nameplate processing capacity of 36,000 tonnes per day. With plans to integrate the Gosselin deposit into an updated mine plan and boost overall throughput, Côté / Gosselin is positioned to become one of Canada's largest gold-producing complexes.

IAMGOLD disclosed on August 7, 2025 that it plans to drill a total of 45,000 meters at Gosselin in 2025 and expects results from the 2024 and 2025 Gosselin exploration programs to be incorporated into an updated Mineral Reserve and Resource estimate in 2026, as well as an updated technical report, considering a larger-scale operation with a conceptual plan targeting both the Côté and Gosselin zones. IAMGOLD expects the updated technical report to be completed by year-end 2026.
