HOD MADEN INTEREST, HORIZON COPPER CORP. AND ENTRÉE RESOURCES LTD.
In consideration for Sandstorm’s 30% interest in Hod Maden, its equity interest in Entrée R
e
sources Ltd. and the contribution of $10 million in cash, Sandstorm received a Gold Stream on Hod Maden, a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $95 million (further discussed in note 7) and an approximate 34% equity interest in Horizon Copp
e
r. As a result of this transaction and net of the $8.3 million owed to Horizon Copper for its deferred share of
the
2022 Hod Maden budget, the Company r
e
cognized a gain of $24.9 million on the disposal of its Hod Maden investment in associate.
 
In determining the gain on the transaction, management estimated the fair value of the Hod Maden Gold Stream (note 5) and the convertible promissory note consideration received (note 7).
The cumulative translation adjustment of $149.5 million previously recorded in other comprehensive income was reclassified to profit and loss at the time of disposal of this foreign operation and has been included in the calculation of the total gain on disposal.
As part of the above-mentioned transaction, on May 26, 2022, the Company sold its equity interest in Entrée Resources Ltd. (“Entrée”) to Horizon Copper in consideration for a $33.8 million promissory note. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $12.5 million on the disposal of its investment in associate. This promissory note was extinguished in August 2022 as a part of the finalization of the sale of Hod Maden to Horizon Copper.
As a result of this transaction, Sandstorm’s position in Horizon Copper on a fully diluted basis is greater than
20
%.
As a result of this ownership position, the Company concluded that it has significant influence over Horizon Copper and as such, it is accounted for under the equity method. As at December 31, 2022, this position represents approximately
 
34
% of the common shares of Horizon Copper on
a
 
non-diluted
basis. The initial cost of the associate includes the cost of the common shares held, which is equal to the fair value of the common shares on acquisition. The Company records its share of Horizon Copper’s profit or loss including adjustments, where appropriate, to give effect to uniform accounting policies.
SANDBOX ROYALTIES CORP.
On June 28, 2022, the Company closed its previously announced sale of a portfolio of royalties to Sandbox as further discussed in note 5(b). As a result of this transaction, Sandstorm’s position on a fully diluted basis is greater than 20%. As a result of this ownership position, the Company concluded that it has significant influence over Sandbox and as such, it is accounted for under the equity method. As at December 31, 2022, this position represents approximately 20.1% of the common shares of Sandbox on a
non-diluted
basis. The initial cost of the associate includes the
cost of the common shares held, which is equal to the 
fair value of the common shares
o
n acquisition
. The Company records its share of Sandbox’s profit or loss including adjustments, where appropriate, to give effect to uniform accounting
policies.
