Sabre Gold Announces Royalty Buyback and Debt Reduction

07.03.2023  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, March 7, 2023 - Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (TSX: SGLD) (OTCQB: SGLDF) ("Sabre Gold" or the "Company") announces the buyback and cancellation of a 3% net smelter returns royalty (the "Copperstone Royalty") on the Company's Copperstone Project for payment of US$2.5 million. In addition, the Company has repaid two promissory notes totalling $3.2 million, with the $2 million principal being repaid in cash and approximately $1.2 million in interest being settled by the issuance of 4,068,626 common shares of the Company (the "Shares"). The Shares were issued at a price of $0.30 per Share, a 43% premium over the Company's most recent closing share price and represents a 68% premium over the 30-day VWAP. Furthermore, in connection with the repayment of the notes, the noteholders agreed to extend the maturity date on their remaining notes for a period of 18 months from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2025.

"These two transactions are significant achievements for the Company. We have improved the financial viability of our Copperstone Project with the removal of the 3% royalty burden while also improving our balance sheet by reducing our debt obligations," said CEO and President Andrew Elinesky, "I would like to thank our debtholders for their support in converting a portion of their holdings into shares at such a significant premium and, in addition, extending the maturity of the remaining notes. Both of these deals will allow the Company to focus on our projects in the coming months, in particular, the development of our fully permitted Copperstone Project in Arizona."

The purchase of the Copperstone Royalty constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as the Copperstone Royalty is owned by a director of the Company. The noteholders are also insiders of the Company and the issuance of the 4,068,626 Shares to the noteholders constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101 for both the royalty buyback and the share issuances as in each case the fair market value the subject matter of the transaction and the fair market value of consideration does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the transactions, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of the net smelter returns royalty and the settlement of the promissory notes in an expeditious manner.
