Revelo Signs Definitive Agreement for the Sale of its Generative NSR Royalty Portfolio for Proceeds of US$1.5 million
Vancouver, March 20, 2020 - Revelo Resources Corp. (TSXV: RVL) ("Revelo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has signed definitive documentation for the agreement to sell to EMX Royalty Corp. (TSXV: EMX) ("EMX") a number of generative net smelter return ("NSR") royalty interests over exploration properties in Chile.
The original agreement with EMX (see news release dated January 20, 2020) was to sell a total of 20 NSR royalty interests for a cash total of US$1.5 million. Masglas America Corporation SpA ("Masglas") subsequently exercised its right of first refusal to purchase two of the royalties under the same terms and conditions as those offered by EMX. Consequently, EMX has now purchased 18 royalty interests for a cash total of US$1,162,000 and Masglas has purchased 2 royalty interests for a cash total of US$338,000.
The NSR royalty interests sold included 11 generative NSR royalty interests on projects currently owned by third parties, and 9 NSR royalty interests on properties held by Revelo.
Part of the agreement with EMX included that some of the proceeds of the sale will be used to pay back a loan due to EMX totalling US$369,907. Additionally, Revelo will be paying back portions of a loan due to Term Oil Inc. (see news releases dated February 27, 2018 and October 3, 2019) with proceeds of the sale.
The closing of this deal places Revelo into a good position to execute its business plan as recently outlined in a news release dated February 6, 2020. Further news in relation to this will be forthcoming in the near future.
