Gold Royalty announces that it has begun to receive royalty payments related to its Borden Lake net smelter return royalty over Newmont Corporation's producing Borden Mine located in Ontario, Canada. Ely Gold Royalties, a subsidiary of Gold Royalty, originally purchased the Royalty on May 6, 2020. The Royalty included a five kilometer area of interest with a 0.50% NSR on certain claims within the AOI. It has now been confirmed that mining at the Borden Mine is occurring on the AOI Claims and therefore Newmont has begun making royalty payments under the AOI Royalty. Gold Royalty has received approximately $1.4M in royalty back payments. David Garofalo, Chairman and CEO of Gold Royalty commented: "Borden brings another high-quality cash flowing asset into our portfolio. Along with the expected start of production at Beaufor this month, we will have eight royalties on producing assets and twenty assets in development supporting our industry leading revenue growth profile. As the former CEO of Goldcorp, I recall our team developing Borden as a next generation, environmentally friendly mine, and I am excited for Gold Royalty to now be a part of this asset as a royalty holder."
