NSR OPTION

10. NSR OPTION

 

Concurrently with the closings of the Equity Financing and the Term Loan on June 28, 2023, Cymbria paid an aggregate of $2,750,000 (“Option Payment”) to two subsidiaries of PNRL to acquire a right to participate with such subsidiaries in the exercise of certain contractual rights, as and when the same may be exercised by such subsidiaries. The Option Payment was allocated to PNRP and PNGP (defined below) for $2,500,000 and $250,000, respectively.

 

As the NSR options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of Cymbria and the underlying projects are in the exploration stage, the fair value of the call and put on the option as at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is nil. The Option payment received in cash was recorded as a non-current liability.

 

PNRL’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Premium Nickel Resources Proprietary Limited (“PNRP”) acquired the Selebi Mines in January 2022 out of liquidation. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the liquidator retained a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Selebi Mines (the “Selebi NSR”). PNRP has a contractual right to repurchase one-half of the Selebi NSR at a future time on payment by PNRP to the liquidator of USD 20,000,000.

 

PNRL’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Premium Nickel Group Proprietary Limited (“PNGP”) acquired the Selkirk Mine in August 2022 out of liquidation. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the liquidator retained a 1% net smelter returns royalty on the Selkirk Mine (the “Selkirk NSR” and together with the Selebi NSR, the “NSRs”). PNGP has a contractual right to repurchase the entirety of the Selkirk NSR at a future time on payment by PNGP to the liquidator of USD 2,000,000.

 

Each of PNRP and PNGP has agreed to grant Cymbria, in exchange for the Option Payment, an option to participate in any such repurchase of the applicable portion of its NSR from the relevant liquidator. Cymbria will, following the exercise of its option to participate in any such repurchase, acquire a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty on the applicable property by paying an amount equal to one half of the repurchase price payable by PNRP or PNGP pursuant to the applicable NSR, less the Option Payment paid at closing pursuant to the relevant option agreement among Cymbria and PNRP or PNGP, as applicable. Cymbria has the right to put its options back to PNRP and PNGP in certain circumstances in return for the reimbursement of the applicable portion of the Option Payment.

 

Under the NSR option purchase agreements, Cymbria could acquire a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty on the Company’s Selebi Mines and Selkirk Mine upon payment of $10,675,231 (USD 8,102,500) and $1,067,523 (USD 810,250), respectively.
