(the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced transaction (press release issued September 18, 2017) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd., ("Sandstorm") pursuant to which the existing gold stream on the Bachelor mine (which requires Metanor to sell 20% of its gold production at the fixed price of US$500) will be eliminated and replaced by a 3.9% net smelter return royalty (NSR) on all minerals produced from the Bachelor and Barry properties once the Corporation has delivered to Sandstorm 12,000 ounces of gold at the fixed price of $US500.
