TSXV: MTA
OTCQB: MTAFF

VANCOUVER, Nov. 8, 2019 /CNW/ - Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. ("Metalla" or the "Company") (TSXV: MTA) (OTCQB: MTAFF) is pleased to report the first shipment of ore has been processed from the COSE mine and the results of the Annual General Meeting held on November 6, 2019.

Brett Heath, President and CEO of Metalla Royalty, commented: "We are very pleased to see the COSE and Joaquin mines continue to progress forward with a major milestone of the first shipment of ore from COSE processed with higher than anticipated recoveries." Mr. Heath continued, "The transition of our two royalties on Pan American Silver's mines moving from development to production will add further diversification of our cash flow in 2020 and continues to advance what we believe to be one of the most exciting development portfolios of royalties."

COSE & JOAQUIN (1.5% & 2.0% NSR)

Pan American Silver Corp. ("Pan American") disclosed in their Q3 MD&A on November 6, 2019 that it hauled stockpiled ore from COSE to its Manantial Espejo plant at the end of Q3 2019 with a total milled to-date of 410 tonnes at 42.6 g/t gold and 1,688 g/t silver. Although this is a limited amount of high-grade COSE ore treated so far, the calculated mill recoveries rates were 95.6% for gold and 86.0% for silver, both rates greater than anticipated.

Pan American spent a combined US$5.2 million on its Joaquin and COSE projects during Q3 2019. Waste development resumed at COSE at the end of Q3 2019, while recommencing mining activities in the ore zones is pending a review of the ground control management procedures and the results of a geotechnical drilling program, which is anticipated to be completed in Q4 2019. Development activities resumed at Joaquin in Q3 2019, and both ore and waste headings are currently active. Ore is being stockpiled on surface prior to transporting to the Manantial Espejo plant for processing.
