First Quarter Results to be Released on
May 13, 2024
VANCOUVER, BC, April 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - Gold Royalty
Corp. ("Gold Royalty" or the "Company")
(NYSE American: GROY) is pleased to announce record quarterly Total
Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest*, driven by the
Company's cornerstone royalties, recent royalty acquisitions and
its unique royalty generator model. All amounts are expressed in
U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
Preliminary Q1 2024
Results
Gold Royalty recorded Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and
Interest* of $4.2 million (Revenue of
$2.9 million), equating to 2,019 gold
equivalent ounces ("GEOs")*, in the first quarter of 2024,
representing an increase of 112% from the first quarter of
2023.
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company had its first full
quarter of pre-production and gold payments under the Borborema
royalty and gold-linked loan financing completed in December 2023. Additionally, other existing cash
flowing royalties on the Canadian Malartic, Cozamin, and
Borden Mines produced stronger
revenues than the prior quarter. The Company's royalty generator
model added $2.1 million in land
agreement proceeds in the quarter.
While quarterly land agreement proceeds from the royalty
generator model are expected to be lower for the remainder of the
year, strong commodity prices and the expected ramp up of Côté
towards commercial production in the third quarter of 2024 are
expected to continue to fuel growth in royalty revenue through the
remainder of 2024.
The Company remains on track to meet its previously disclosed
forecast for 2024 of between approximately 5,000 and 5,600 GEOs,
which equates to approximately $10.0
million to $11.2 million in
forecasted Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest, and
was based on a gold price of $2,000
per ounce.
The 2024 outlook regarding total GEOs is based on public
forecasts, expected development timelines and other disclosure by
the owners and operators of the properties underlying our interests
and our assessment thereof.
* Total GEOs and Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and
Interest are non-IFRS financial measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures"
below.
