Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 16, 2024) - Silver Crown Royalties Inc. ("Silver Crown", "SCRi", or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an amalgamation agreement with a reporting issuer 1287412 B.C. Ltd., a reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, and is undertaking a concurrent financing (the "Offering") of up to 10,000,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of C$0.50 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to C$5,000,000. Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder to receive one unit of the Company in connection with the amalgamation to be completed with the reporting issuer. Each unit shall consist of one common share of SCRi and one full three-year warrant with an 80c strike price. The gross proceeds will be used to facilitate a go-public transaction and carry out the Company's planned growth strategy of pursuing additional producing and development silver-only royalty opportunities. On the closing of the transaction, the Company anticipates a 20:1 share consolidation.
The Company is also pleased to announce the closing of the second tranche ("the "Second Tranche") of its previously announced silver NSR royalty for up to 90% of the silver produced at Pilar Gold's PGDM Complex ("PGDM"). To complete the Second Tranche, SCRi paid US$190,000 in cash to increase the net smelter return royalty to 31% from 22.5% of the cash equivalent the silver produced at PGDM (the "Royalty"). The completion of the Second Tranche allows Pilar to pursue certain productivity enhancements at its operations while allowing Silver Crown to continue increasing its revenue base.
In connection with the Offering and facilitating the transition towards becoming a publicly traded company, Silver Crown has engaged with Cboe Canada Inc. (the "Exchange") to list its common shares on the Exchange. Additionally, Silver Crown Royalties has reserved the trading symbol SCRi and anticipates that common shares of the Company will begin trading in the third quarter of this year.
Peter Bures, Silver Crown's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased with the significant progress we have made in growing an extensive portfolio of silver-only royalties and thank the support of our existing and new shareholders. The concurrent financing will provide us with the necessary capital to go public in Q3 of this year and puts us in an excellent position to continue pursuing our strategic growth initiatives."
