·                  IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements;

 

·                  IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;

B. DEPLETABLE VS. NON-DEPLETABLE BALANCES

 

The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depleted on a units-delivered basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves allocated at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category, generally as a result of the conversion of resources or exploration potential into reserves.

C. SUMMARY OF GOLD STREAMS

 

AURIZONA MINE >  The Company has a Gold Stream agreement to purchase 17% of the life of mine gold produced from Luna Gold Corp.’s open-pit Aurizona mine, located in Brazil (the “Aurizona Mine”) for a per ounce cash payment equal to the lesser of $400 and the then prevailing market price of gold.

 

BACHELOR LAKE MINE >  The Company has a Gold Stream agreement with Metanor Resources Inc. (“Metanor”) to purchase 20% of the life of mine gold produced from Metanor’s Bachelor Lake gold mine located in Quebec, Canada (“Bachelor Lake Mine”) for an upfront payment of $20.0 million plus ongoing per ounce payments equal to the lesser of $500 and the then prevailing market price per ounce of gold. Metanor has provided a guarantee that Sandstorm will receive a minimum of $20.0 million in pre-tax cash flow over the next five years.

 

BLACK FOX MINE >  The Company has a Gold Stream agreement to purchase 12% of the life of mine gold produced from Brigus Gold Corp.’s (“Brigus”) open pit and underground Black Fox mine, located in Canada (the “Black Fox Mine”) and 10% of the life of mine gold produced from Brigus’ Black Fox extension, which includes a portion of Brigus’ Pike River concessions for a per ounce cash payment equal to the lesser of $500 and the then prevailing market price of gold. Brigus has the option until January 1, 2013 to repurchase 50% of the Brigus Gold Stream by making a $36.6 million payment to the Company, upon receipt of which, the percent- age of gold the Company is entitled to purchase will decrease to 6% for the Black Fox Mine and 4.5% for the Black Fox extension.

 

MING MINE >  The Company has a Gold Stream agreement to purchase approximately 25% of the first 175,000 ounces of gold produced and 12% of the life of mine gold produced thereafter, from Rambler Metals & Mining plc’s (“Rambler”) Ming mine, located in Canada (the “Ming Mine”). There are no ongoing per ounce payments required by Sandstorm in respect of the Ming Mine Gold Stream. In the event that the metallurgical recoveries of gold at the Ming Mine are below 85%, the percentage of gold that Sandstorm shall be entitled to purchase shall be increased proportionally.

 

SANTA ELENA MINE >  The Company has a Gold Stream agreement to purchase 20% of the life of mine gold produced from SilverCrest Mines Inc.’s open pit Santa Elena mine, located in Mexico (the “Santa Elena Mine”) for a per ounce cash payment equal to the lesser of $350 and the then prevailing market price of gold.

 

SUMMIT MINE >  The Company has a Gold Stream agreement to purchase 50% of the first 10,000 ounces of gold produced, and 22% of the life of mine gold produced thereafter, from Santa Fe Gold Corporation’s Summit mine, located in the United States of America (the “Summit Mine”) for a per ounce cash payment equal to the lesser of $400 and the then prevailing market price of gold. The Company has agreed to defer the minimum production guarantee until June 2012.

 

28



 

BRACEMAC-MCLEOD MINE >  The Company has a Gold Stream agreement with Donner Metals Ltd. (“Donner”) via a back-to-back agreement with Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd.

Donner is the owner of a 35% joint venture interest in the Bracemac-McLeod Mine.

 

For consideration, the Company will make an upfront payment of $5.0 million on June 30, 2012 plus ongoing per ounce of gold or Gold Equivalent payments equal to the lesser of $350 and the then prevailing market price of gold. Donner has provided a guarantee, via a back-to-back agreement with Sandstorm Metals & Energy, that the Company will receive a minimum of $5.0 million in pre-tax cash flows between 2013 and 2016 from the Bracemac-McLeod Gold Stream.

 

Donner has the option until July 13, 2013 to repurchase 50% of the Bracemac-McLeod Gold Stream by making a $3.5 million payment to the Company, upon receipt of which, the percentage of gold and Gold Equivalent the Company is entitled to purchase will decrease to 8.75%.

The company did not have any investments as at March 31, 2011.

 

The fair value of the investments is calculated as the quoted market price of the share or warrant multiplied by the quantity of the shares or warrants held by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company acquired common shares for total consideration of $2.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 the Company received proceeds of $5.4 million and realized a gain of $0.7 million ($0.04 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012) on the disposal of other common shares.  The tax impact of the changes in investments during the period was $0.3 million (2011–C$nil).

 

7.              Deferred Financing Costs

 

On January 12, 2012, the Company entered into a $50.0 million revolving term loan (the “Revolving Loan”). The Revolving Loan has a term of three years, which is extendable by mutual consent of The Bank of Nova Scotia and the Company. The Revolving Loan can be drawn down at any time to finance acquisitions, investments or for general corporate purposes. Amounts drawn incur interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% to 4.25% per annum dependent upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Undrawn amounts are subject to a standby fee of 0.75% to 1.05% per annum, dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio.

 

Under the credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio greater than or equal to 4.00:1, a lever-age ratio less than or equal to 2.50:1, and a tangible net worth greater than the aggregate of $100.0 million and 50% of positive Net Income for each fiscal quarter after September 30, 2011. The Revolving Loan is secured against the Company’s assets, including the Company’s gold interests and investments. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

 

As at March 31, 2012, the Company had not drawn down on its credit facility and therefore, the full $50.0 million remains available for future acquisitions.

 

Deferred financing costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debt instrument as presented below:
