• 500 ounces of gold every six months commencing February 1, 2017 up to a cumulative total of 7,000 ounces of gold.
• 7,000 ounces of gold within 30 days after the commencement of commercial production from the Property provided that prior gold payments will be credited against this payment.
• 250 ounces of gold upon production of 100,000 ounces of gold from the Property.
• 250 ounces of gold upon production of an aggregate of 500,000 ounces of gold from the Property.
• A sliding-scale royalty in the amount of the following percentages of production returns after certain deductions (“Royalty”) for ore mined from the Property:
• For gold production: 1.0% on the first 100,000 ounces of gold; 2.0% on the next 400,000 ounces of gold; 3.0% on all gold production in excess of 500,000 ounces produced from the Property.

Project Overview. Akarca is a low sulfidation, epithermal gold-silver district located in the Western Anatolia mineral belt. Exploration programs at Akarca, principally funded by partners, have included 251 core and reverse circulation holes totaling ~26,800 meters of drilling, environmental studies, geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys. This work has outlined six separate zones of drill delineated, near-surface oxide gold-silver mineralization hosted in quartz vein sets and silicified wall rocks that principally consist of conglomerates and sandstones. All of the known mineralized zones remain open along strike and to depth, and there is ample opportunity for additional discoveries on the Property.
Akarca is an excellent example of EMX’s execution of the prospect and royalty generation business model. After EMX’s discovery and early exploration, partner funded work expenditures advanced the project with systematic exploration drilling of each zone, as well as the conversion of the license from exploration to exploitation status. EMX regained 100% control of the project in Q4 of 2015 (see EMX news release dated October 30, 2015). This set the stage for the agreement with Çiftay, a leading Turkish construction and mining company that conducts mining operations at the Çöpler gold mine, and also has interests in coal and iron ore production.
