Project advances boost Elemental Royalty (NASDAQ: ELE, TSX: ELE) pipeline
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Elemental Royalty Corporation provides a portfolio update highlighting progress at several cornerstone and development royalties. At Karlawinda, operator Capricorn Metals reports the expansion remains on track, with the mine producing 30,358 ounces of gold in the March 2026 quarter and targeting an increase in processing capacity to 6.5Mtpa from 4.0Mtpa. Once complete, Karlawinda is expected to produce around 150,000 ounces of gold per year, a roughly 25–30% step-up in output, under Elemental’s uncapped 2% NSR royalty.
Elemental also reports that Laverton’s Beasley Creek has been identified by Genesis Minerals as a key development priority, covered by a total 4% Gross Revenue Royalty. Viscaria has entered the construction phase, targeting first ore in 2028 and about 26,000 tonnes of copper per year at full capacity under Elemental’s 0.5–1% NSR. Diablillos has been approved under Argentina’s Large Investment Incentive Regime and is advancing toward a construction decision later in 2026, where Elemental holds a 1% NSR. At Mactung, a Feasibility Study has commenced with completion targeted in early 2027, supported by a C$61.5 million private placement, and Elemental holds a 4% GRR that can be reduced to 2%.
The update also notes new, often larger operators taking over several royalty-covered assets, including Zijin at Bonikro and Korali-Sud, Mansa Resources at Dugbe, Hudbay Minerals at the Cactus Project, and Bellavista Resources at Pickle Crow, where Elemental’s NSR and GRR interests remain in place.

Insights
Elemental highlights construction and licensing progress across multiple royalty assets while stronger operators assume key projects.
The update shows several operator-led milestones across Karlawinda, Laverton, Viscaria, Diablillos and Mactung. Karlawinda’s expansion toward 6.5Mtpa and roughly 150,000 ounces of gold annually under a 2% NSR could meaningfully lift future royalty volumes once commissioning begins.
Viscaria’s move into construction, targeting 26,000 tonnes of copper per year over 17 years, and Diablillos’ approval under Argentina’s Large Investment Incentive Regime indicate advancing projects but still depend on successful financing, permitting and build-out. Mactung’s Feasibility Study and the C$61.5 million financing support further technical de-risking of this tungsten project.
Ownership changes at Bonikro, Korali-Sud, Dugbe, Cactus and Pickle Crow bring in larger or better-funded operators while leaving Elemental’s NSR/GRR interests intact. The economic benefit ultimately hinges on these counterparties executing mine plans and hitting production targets over the next several years.

Karlawinda Expansion Project on Track
At Karlawinda, operator Capricorn Metals (ASX: CMM) ("Capricorn") has reported that the Expansion Project remains on track, with the operation producing 30,358 ounces of gold in the March 2026 quarter while continuing to advance key development works across the expanded processing circuit and associated infrastructure. During the quarter, Capricorn reported that more than 90% of plant site concrete works had been completed, major structural steel and pipework packages had been delivered, CIL tank construction and welding had been completed, and structural, mechanical and piping works across the crushing, milling and CIL areas had advanced materially. Capricorn also reported that earthworks for ROM Pad 2 were largely completed and first ore had been placed for commissioning, TSF 2 embankments had been advanced to the level required for start-up, and the ball mill had been delivered ahead of schedule ahead of commissioning expected to commence in the September 2026 quarter.
Capricorn has previously stated that the expansion is expected to increase total processing capacity at Karlawinda to 6.5Mtpa from the existing 4.0Mtpa plant and lift annual gold production to around 150,000 ounces. On that basis, the expansion is expected to deliver a material step-up in scale at Karlawinda, with annual gold production increasing by approximately 25% to 30% once the expanded circuit is operational.
Elemental holds an uncapped 2% NSR royalty on Karlawinda.
Laverton key project for Genesis
Genesis Minerals (ASX: GMD) ("Genesis") continues to highlight the strategic importance of the Focus assets within its growing eastern hub. Genesis identified Beasley Creek as a key project for Laverton and stated that its updated long-term plan will include the introduction of initial Focus assets into the existing Laverton mill, alongside ongoing studies to expand milling capacity. Current work is focused on drilling, resource re-estimation and pit optimization, led by Beasley Creek as the first development priority.
Genesis also highlighted potential upside across the broader Focus tenure, including additional open pit opportunities at Burtville and Karridale, as well as underground potential with all deposits described as open at depth.
Elemental holds a 2% Gross Revenue Royalty ("GRR") on the entire Laverton project and an additional 2% GRR on certain Laverton claims for a total 4% GRR, including Beasley Creek.
Viscaria enters into construction phase
Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria (ST: VISC) ("Viscaria") stated that groundworks for the processing plant had already commenced in early 2026 and that key priorities for the year include mine dewatering, completion of dams, securing electrical power and connection to the Malmbanan rail network. Viscaria also disclosed that, subsequent to year-end, it had signed long-lead item and construction-related agreements with Metso and Nordec respectively, and is targeting completion of its structured project financing package by the end of Q2 2026.
Viscaria continues to guide toward first production in 2028. The company's published timetable indicates first ore in 2028, with full production from 2029. At full capacity, Viscaria expects to produce approximately 26,000 tonnes of copper per year over an initial 17 year mine life.
Elemental holds an uncapped 0.5% to 1% NSR royalty on Viscaria.
Diablillos RIGI Approval
At Diablillos, AbraSilver (TSX: ABRA) ("AbraSilver") announced that the project has been approved for inclusion under Argentina's Large Investment Incentive Regime ("RIGI"). RIGI provides long-term fiscal stability together with tax, customs, and foreign-exchange benefits.
AbraSilver further stated that Diablillos remains on track for several near-term milestones, including Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") approval and completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study, as it works toward a construction decision later this year. The company said detailed engineering, procurement planning, and infrastructure upgrades are advancing in parallel, with early works intended to begin following receipt of the EIA.
Elemental holds an uncapped 1% NSR royalty on Diablillos.
Mactung Feasibility Study Commencement and Private Placement
At Mactung, Fireweed Metals (TSXV: FWZ) ("Fireweed") announced the commencement of an updated Feasibility Study for its 100%-owned Mactung Tungsten Project, supported by the US Department of War as part of the Defense Production Act. Fireweed stated that the study is expected to be completed in early 2027 and is intended to support further engineering and mine licensing efforts. The mine license application is expected to be submitted in 2027.
Subsequent to the feasibility study announcement, Fireweed closed a C$61.5 million non-brokered private placement, including a strategic investment by JX Advanced Metals Corporation and participation by the Lundin Family Trusts. The proceeds will be used to support advancement of its Macpass, Mactung, and Gayna projects, regional infrastructure planning and general working capital purposes, which should further support the ongoing advancement of Mactung, the world's largest high-grade tungsten deposit.
Elemental holds a 4% GRR on Mactung, which can be bought down to an uncapped 2% GRR under certain conditions.
Allied acquired by Zijin
Allied Gold ("Allied") announced that it has agreed to be acquired by Zijin Gold International ("Zijin") in a friendly all-cash transaction valued at approximately C$5.5 billion. Allied also noted Zijin's intention to further advance its operations, including Sadiola, which increases confidence in continued development, expansion and long-term production from royalty-covered assets.
Elemental holds a capped 4.5% NSR royalty on Bonikro and an up to 3% NSR on Korali-Sud.
Pasofino Gold acquired by Mansa Resources
Pasofino Gold ("Pasofino") has been acquired by Mansa Resources ("Mansa") in an all-cash transaction, with Mansa also agreeing to provide Pasofino with up to US$10 million of interim funding through a promissory note. The Dugbe project will now be under the total ownership of a party that already holds approximately 51% of Pasofino. The ownership structure will simplify decision-making going forward and facilitate enhanced financial support from an experienced and well-funded operator.
Elemental holds an uncapped 2.0-2.5% NSR royalty on Dugbe.
Arizona Sonoran acquired by Hudbay Minerals Inc.
Hudbay Minerals (TSX: HBM) (NYSE: HBM) ("Hudbay") has announced that the company has entered into an agreement to acquire Arizona Sonoran and the Cactus Project, establishing a major copper hub in southern Arizona, and Hudbay as a leading supplier of domestic US refined copper, with Hudbay's Copper World and Cactus both expected to be significant producers of copper cathode. The acquisition substantially reduces execution risk at Cactus given Hudbay's proven track record developing and operating large-scale copper projects.
Elemental holds an uncapped 0.5-0.54% NSR royalty over the majority of the Cactus Project, with a 0.5% NSR royalty over part of the Parks-Salyer deposit.
Pickle Crow acquired by Bellavista Resources
FireFly Metals has agreed to sell the 70% interest in the Pickle Crow Project to Bellavista Resources (ASX: BVR) ("Bellavista") for an aggregate value of c.A$86.1 million. Subject to and in conjunction with the completion of the acquisition, Bellavista is seeking to raise up to approximately A$25 million, which will be used to conduct Mineral Resource extensional and near-mine drilling, as well as regional mapping and sampling of multiple underexplored structures to identify new targets.
Elemental holds a 2.25% NSR Royalty on Pickle Crow, which can be bought down to 1.25% for US$2.5 million.
