Callinan Acquires Additional Royalty on Gunnison Copper Project in Arizona

29.07.2014  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, July 29, 2014 /CNW/ - Callinan Royalties Corp. ('Callinan', the 'Company') announces that it has exercised the right to purchase an additional 0.5% Gross Revenue Royalty ('GRR') for C$3 million on the Gunnison Copper project owned by Excelsior Mining Corp. ('Excelsior'). The project is located in Cochise County, Arizona, USA.

In July 2013, Callinan entered a funding agreement with Excelsior that is based on a series of optional royalty acquisitions following the completion of key feasibility study and permitting milestones. Upon entering the agreement, Callinan purchased an initial 0.5% GRR and has the right to acquire up to a total 3% GRR by providing additional funding.

Under the agreement, Callinan was granted three principal funding options to be exercised following the completion of key milestones. With each option, Callinan has the right to purchase an additional 0.5% GRR for C$3 million each for a total of C$9 million for a 1.5% GRR. The milestones to be met by Excelsior are as follows:
  1. Completion of a prefeasibility study and successful raise of additional financing from other sources
  2. Completion of hydrology and metallurgy models to feasibility study level
  3. Successful administrative review of the key permits (Aquifer Protection Permit and the Underground Injection Control and Aquifer Exemption Permit)

A Prefeasibility Study on the Gunnison Copper project was filed in February 2014 on SEDAR. In June 2014, Excelsior announced that it had arranged a $4-million financing with Dundee Securities Ltd, which closed in late June. The first milestone was met and the royalty option was recently exercised.

Callinan was also granted a Construction Option under the agreement, which gives Callinan the right to buy a 1% GRR for up to C$10 million following completion of the Feasibility Study, receipt of all required permits and Excelsior securing a firm commitment for 50% of the required capital required for mine construction.


Project Summary

The Gunnison Copper project is located in a remote section of Cochise County in southeastern Arizona, USA. The focus of the project is the oxide portion of the North Star deposit, which has the potential to be mined using in-situ recovery methods according to Excelsior's public disclosure. Additional information about the Gunnison Copper Project can be found in the technical report filed by Excelsior under its profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com entitled: "Gunnison Copper Project NI 43-101 Technical Report Prefeasibility Study, Cochise County, Arizona, USA" dated February 18, 2014.
