Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced sale of its Rouyn property (the “Property”) to Lac Gold (Rouyn) Inc. (“Lac Gold”), a Canadian based subsidiary of Lac Gold Pty Ltd (Au) (the “Transaction”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, in consideration of a 100% interest in the Property, Lac Gold must pay a purchase price of C$25,000,000 to the Company as follows:

  • C$2,000,000 paid to the Company within 48 hours of signing the asset purchase agreement dated October 1, 2024 between the Company and Lac Gold (which amount was received by the Company on October 3, 2024);
  • C$3,000,000 payable to the Company on the closing date of the Transaction (which amount was received by the Company on the date hereof); and
  • three equal instalments of $6,666,666 payable to the Company on each of the second, third and fourth anniversary of December 10, 2024, collectively making up the C$20,000,000 unpaid balance of the purchase price, as evidenced by a promissory note issued on December 10, 2024 by Lac Gold to the Company carrying interest at a rate of 5% per annum.

The title to the Property was transferred to Lac Gold on December 10, 2024 upon the payment of the second tranche of C$3,000,000 and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Lac Gold has until December 10, 2028 to pay the final instalment on the unpaid balance of the purchase price, but may accelerate any such payment. Lac Gold’s payment of the unpaid balance of the purchase price, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is secured by a first-ranking hypothec on the Property.

In addition to the purchase price payable by Lac Gold, in connection with closing of the Transaction, Lac Gold issued and granted to the Company a 2% net smelter returns royalty on any minerals produced from the Property.

Yorbeau intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Property to fund exploration programs and pre-development activities on its other properties, as well as for general corporate purposes.
