Transaction Key Terms
(All values in US$ unless otherwise noted)
- Gold Stream Upfront Consideration: WPMI will pay Montage total upfront cash consideration of
US (the "Deposit") in four equal installment payments during construction, subject to certain customary conditions.$625 million - Streamed Metal: WPMI will purchase
19.5% of the payable gold until a total of 400 thousand ounces ("Koz") of gold has been delivered, subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule, at which point WPMI will purchase10.8% of the payable gold until an additional 130 Koz of gold has been delivered (the "Second Dropdown Threshold"), at which point WPMI will purchase5.4% of payable gold for the life of the mine. Payable gold is calculated using a fixed payable factor of99.9% . - Production Profile1: Attributable Gold Stream production is forecast to average over 60 Koz of gold per year for the first five years of production, over 47 Koz of gold per year for the first 10 years of production, and over 34 Koz for the life of mine. The Project is forecast to have a 16-year mine life based on reserves, with first production anticipated in early 2027.
- Production Payments: WPMI will make ongoing payments for the gold ounces delivered equal to
20% of the spot price of gold. For the first five years after the Precious Metals Purchase Agreement ("PMPA") is signed, there will be a price adjustment mechanism in place if the spot price of gold is less than$2,100 $2,700 $3,200 $675 21% of the spot price. This price adjustment mechanism expires on the fifth anniversary of the PMPA, after which the production payment will be equal to20% of the spot price going forward. - Secured Debt Facility: WPMI has also provided Montage with a secured debt facility of up to
$75 million - Incremental Reserves and Resources1: The addition of the Koné Project will increase Wheaton's total estimated Proven and Probable Mineral gold reserves by 0.62 million ounces ("Moz"), Measured and Indicated Mineral gold resources by 0.05 Moz and Inferred gold resources by 0.02 Moz.
- Other Considerations:
- The Gold Stream will include a customary completion test based on expected gold production and expected mining rates.
- WPMI has also obtained a right of first refusal on any future precious metal streams, royalties, prepays or similar transactions.
- The Gold Stream will apply to a Core Area of Interest inclusive of the Koné and Gbongogo deposits (the "Core Area of Interest"), with exploration upside beyond the currently defined deposits.
- Ore from within a 100km Expanded Area of Interest ("Expanded Area of Interest") will be subject to the stream if that ore is processed at the Koné mineral processing facility, until such time following the Second Dropdown Threshold that ounces received under the stream from the Expanded Area of Interest is equal to the remaining ounces from the Core Area of Interest, at which point the stream percentage will be reduced to nil. If at any point after that the remaining ounces from the Core Area of Interest exceed the ounces received from the Expanded Area of Interest, the Company will continue receiving
5.4% of payable gold from the Core Area of Interest, for the remaining life of mine. - In the event of a change of control prior to the earlier of completion and December 31, 2026, Montage will have an option to buyback one third of the stream.
- Montage will provide WPMI with corporate guarantees and certain other security over their assets.
- Montage is expected to comply in all material respects with the International Finance Corporation's Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, and WPMI's Partner/Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines Wheaton's expectations in regard to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") matters.
