Deal Structure
Corporate Presentation Dec 2015 www.royalroadminerals.com
Royal Road has executed an Option Agreement which provides the Company with a three-year option to acquire 100% of La Golondrina, provided the following conditions are met
Over the three year term Royal Road must drill a minimum of 1500 meters and produce a feasibility study. Royal Road will make a USD $50k payment to the owner on initiation of the drilling program and provide cash payments to the owner of USD $20kpa whilst the option is in force
If the feasibility proves positive and Royal Road makes the decision to commence construction, the Company will exercises it option and acquire 100% of the project
If at the time of completion the feasibility proves uneconomic, Royal Road may extend its option to commence construction for up to a further three years (until conditions improve) by paying the owner USD $20kpa
If the Company develops the project to commercial production, at such time, the owner will have the option to elect to receive one of the following two payment alternatives
