RETRANSMISSION: Sanatana Signs Definitive Watershed Royalty Assignment Agreement

Sanatana Resources Inc. (TSXV: STA) ("Sanatana" or the "Company") has, further to its news release of September 29, 2020, signed a definitive agreement to sell its Watershed Royalty (the "Royalty Sale") to Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (TSXV: ELY) (OTCQX: ELYGF) ("Ely Gold").

The Watershed Royalty was granted to Sanatana in connection with an asset purchase agreement between the Company and Trelawney Augen Acquisition Corp, now IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD"), dated January 12, 2016, whereby IAMGOLD acquired a 100% interest in 46 mining claims in Chester and Yeo Counties, Ontario (the "Watershed Property"). The Watershed Property surrounds the Coté Gold Project which is a joint venture between IAMGOLD and Sumitomo Metal Mining Company.

Peter Miles, CEO, states, "We are pleased to advance monetization of our Watershed Royalty in a transaction that is non-dilutive to shareholders. This transaction will significantly improve our liquidity and will allow us to accelerate exploration of our property portfolio and potentially acquire additional projects."

The Transaction

Sanatana will sell the Watershed Royalty to Ely Gold for consideration comprising $2,500,000 in cash and 1,000,000 Ely Gold warrants (the "Ely Warrants") which will have a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.31 per share. Ely will have the right to accelerate expiry of the Ely Warrants if the 10-day volume-weighted average price of Ely common shares exceeds $1.97 per share.

Completion of the Royalty Sale is subject to: (a) receipt by Sanatana of a waiver from IAMGOLD of its right of first refusal relating to the Watershed Royalty ("ROFR"); and (b) conditional acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. Closing is scheduled on the fifth business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent. In the event IAMGOLD exercises the ROFR, Sanatana will pay a break fee of $500,000 to Ely Gold.

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday (July 8) that he plans to impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper imports, a dramatic escalation of his administration’s use of targeted trade restrictions on national security grounds.

Loyal to Acquire the High-Grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine

Loyal Metals Limited (ASX:LLM) (Loyal, LLM, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a binding option to purchase the Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine in Queensland, Australia, one of the highest-grade copper mines worldwide, with past production totalling 3.65 million tonnes at 5.7% Cu and 260,000 tonnes at 4.5 g/t Au 1-9.

​Copper​ Market Hit by Major Supply Squeeze as LME Inventories Drop

One of the sharpest copper supply crunches in recent memory is rattling global commodities markets, as inventories at the London Metal Exchange (LME) plummet and the spot price soars.

Bloomberg reported that as of Monday (June 23), copper for immediate delivery was trading at a premium of US$345 per metric ton over three month futures, the widest spread since a record squeeze in 2021.

That dramatic price divergence reflects the market’s acute concerns over access to physical copper, with readily available inventories on the LME falling by around 80 percent this year alone.
