Abitibi Royalties Notifies Shareholders of Updated Canadian Malartic Reserve and Resource Estimate

VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Aug 22, 2014) - Abitibi Royalties Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RZZ) ("Abitibi Royalties" or the "Company") announces that Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited and Yamana Gold Inc. have filed an updated NI 43-101 Reserve and Resource estimate for the Canadian Malartic mine on August 13^th, 2014 (can be found on www.sedar.com). The Malartic CHL property, where Abitibi Royalties holds a 30% free carried interest to production and the Gouldie Zone, where the Company has a 2% NSR on a portion of the zone, were included in the Technical Report. Due to pending litigation by Abitibi Royalties in order to execute a Right of First Refusal on the Malartic CHL property, Agnico-Eagle and Yamana have reclassified Osisko's previously stated portion of the Reserves to Resources for the Malartic CHL property.

Upon receiving and reviewing the data from Agnico-Eagle and Yamana, the Company will determine if any changes are required to Abitibi Royalties' Reserves and Resources.

Abitibi Royalties last reported Reserves and Resources for the Malartic CHL property and the Gouldie Zone on March 28, 2014. The news release can be found by clicking the link below:
