News Release
June 05, 2025 – TheNewswire - TORONTO, ON – Star Royalties Ltd. (“Star Royalties”, or the “Company”) (TSXV: STRR, OTCQX: STRFF) is pleased to highlight Minera Alamos Inc.’s (“Minera Alamos”) (TSXV: MAI, OTCQX: MAIFF) update on development plans for its wholly-owned Copperstone Gold Mine (“Copperstone”). The Company has a 4% streaming agreement on gold produced for the duration of Copperstone’s life-of-mine (“LOM”). All amounts are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
Highlights
-
Mine Plan of Operations (“MPO”) amendment submitted: The MPO submission satisfies the requirements of the United States Code of Federal Regulations Title 43 Subpart 3809, administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This amendment is an essential regulatory step towards Minera Alamos’ planned restart of mining operations at Copperstone in 2026.
-
“Fast-tracking” project restart: The final approval for the MPO amendment is expected to be received by Minera Alamos before year-end 2025, which will facilitate the full restart of operations at Copperstone. Minera Alamos’ existing site permits allow for site development activities to be initiated in parallel with the pending MPO amendment, enabling a "fast-track" approach to restarting the project. Minera Alamos is currently finalizing plans to transfer existing process plant equipment to Copperstone for refurbishment and installation, helping to reduce capital costs.
-
Financing package: Minera Alamos has already received several indicative term sheets from various lenders and is currently advancing project finance discussions for the development and restart of Copperstone.
-
Engineering and development: Engineering activities at Copperstone have been accelerated in preparation for the mine restart and process plant installation. An updated technical study for the project is expected to be released by Minera Alamos in Q4 2025 to demonstrate the positive impact of their ongoing efforts. The technical study is expected to assess opportunities for excess processing plant capacity for potential increases in future mining rates. In addition, metallurgical studies will be conducted to maximize processing flexibility to accommodate the possibility of additional resource zones being added into the mine plan.
Alex Pernin, Chief Executive Officer of Star Royalties, commented: “We are encouraged by Minera Alamos’ development update on Copperstone with the submission of the MPO amendment marking another de-risking milestone in advancing this project to production in 2026. We look forward to additional upcoming announcements, including Copperstone’s financing package progress and the transfer and installation of processing plant equipment. Based on Minera Alamos’ reissued PEA on the project and assuming a gold price of $3,000/oz, our stream’s pre-tax cash flow in just the first full year of production would represent approximately 40% of our current market capitalization. Furthermore, over its currently stated LOM and prior to any production increases or LOM extension, the Copperstone stream is expected to generate pre-tax cash flow of close to twice our current market capitalization. We also note that Copperstone’s current mine plan only incorporates half of its high-grade resource, and we look forward to the exploration initiatives planned by Minera Alamos that should further delineate the potential to extend the current LOM through resource conversion.”
Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) Extension
The Company applied for an AGM extension with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Notice of Application filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice is available for review on the Company’s website at www.starroyalties.com/investors/annual-meetings.
