("CBay") has sold its 2% NSR royalty on the Eastmain property to Eastmain Mines Inc., Virginia Mines Inc., and Franco-Nevada Corporation for aggregate consideration of $900,000.The NSR royalty on the Eastmain Property was part of the Chibougamau assets that were jointly acquired by Nuinsco and Ocean Partners Investments Limited in late 2011.
