Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental commented:
“The announcement of the merger-of-equals with Altus Strategies was a major milestone and post-quarter end we were delighted to receive overwhelming shareholder approval for the combination. It will deliver increased revenue, greater margins, enhanced scale and greatly expand the pipeline of development and exploration royalties going forward.
At the start of the year, we had revenue from five producing assets and through the combination of the Altus portfolio, the completion of the Ming Gold Stream and the Mercedes royalty becoming payable from 28 July 2022, we will have royalties or streams over eleven producing assets, giving shareholders diversification and optionality over even more discovery potential.”
