Royalty North Strengthens Copper Portfolio with Proposed Acquisition of Antamina NPI as Part of Previously Announced Reverse Takeover Transaction with Sandstorm Gold
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 2, 2022) – Royalty North Partners Ltd. (TSXV: RNP) (“RNP” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amended and restated letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) (NYSE: SAND) (TSX: SSL) to grow its portfolio with the addition of a cash-flowing copper asset. Under the terms of the LOI, dated May 1, 2022, Horizon Copper will purchase a 1.66% net profits interest on the low-cost, high-grade Antamina copper mine (the “Antamina NPI”) from Sandstorm (the “NPI Transaction”).
The NPI Transaction will form part of RNP’s previously announced reverse take-over transaction with Sandstorm (the “RTO”), as announced in the Company’s news release dated February 17, 2022 (the “Initial News Release”). The transactions detailed in the previous Letter of Intent between the Company and Sandstorm, as announced in the Initial News Release remain in place and the NPI Transaction will be in addition to those transactions announced in the Initial News Release. Concurrent with closing the RTO RNP intends to change its name to Horizon Copper Corp. Any following references to “Horizon” or to the “Resulting Issuer” are to RNP following the closing of the RTO.
The NPI Transaction will further transform Horizon’s portfolio with the addition of an anchor cash-flowing asset linked to one of the world’s top copper mines. The Antamina NPI will be added to the Resulting Issuer’s portfolio along with the previously announced acquisitions of a 30% interest in the Hod Maden copper-gold project and a 25% equity stake in Entrée Resources Ltd. (TSX: ETG), which provides excellent exposure to the Oyu Tolgoi copper project (see the Initial News Release for full details). Horizon’s resulting portfolio will bring together three world-renowned copper projects. With a strong partner in Sandstorm, this transformative transaction is expected to provide the size and scale required to further grow and diversify the Resulting Issuer.
NPI TRANSACTION DETAILS
Under the terms of the LOI, Horizon will acquire Sandstorm’s 1.66% Antamina NPI, following Sandstorm’s acquisition of the Antamina NPI from BaseCore Metals LP (the “Sandstorm BaseCore Transaction”). See Sandstorm’s press release dated May 2, 2022, for full details of the Sandstorm BaseCore Transaction. In consideration for the Antamina NPI, Horizon will:
- Enter into a 1.66% silver stream with Sandstorm on the Antamina mine;
- Issue a royalty to Sandstorm with payments equal to approximately one-third of the total Antamina NPI, after deducting the silver stream servicing commitments, as described further below;
- Pay Sandstorm US$50 million in cash, which will be funded by way of a subscription receipt financing to close prior to the closing of the RTO;
- Provide Sandstorm a debenture with a principal amount of approximately US$105 million; and
- Issue US$26 million[1] of RNP shares, maintaining Sandstorm’s 34% equity interest in the Company following completion of the RTO.
Full terms of the consideration to be paid to Sandstorm are outlined below.
THE WORLD’S THIRD-LARGEST COPPER MINE
The Antamina copper mine is an open-pit operation located in the Andes mountain range of Peru, 270 kilometres north of Lima. The mine is operated by Compañìa Minera Antamina (“CMA”), a top-tier operator jointly owned by major stakeholders BHP Billiton plc (33.75%), Glencore plc (33.75%), Teck Resources Limited (22.5%), and Mitsubishi Corporation (10%). It is the world’s third-largest copper mine[2] on a copper equivalent (“CuEq”) basis, producing approximately 560,000 CuEq tonnes per annum. Antamina has been in consistent production since 2001, including a throughput expansion completed in 2012 to the mine’s current operating capacity of 145,000 tonnes per day. Total copper production in 2022 is estimated to be between 404,000-426,000 tonnes and between 400,000-422,000 tonnes in 2023-2025[3].
Antamina ‘s Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources, inclusive of Reserves, total 925 million tonnes (“Mt”) at 0.87% copper, 0.69% zinc, and 11 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver. Mineral Reserves total 336 Mt at 0.94% copper, 0.81% zinc and 10 g/t silver, which are constrained by current tailings capacity. Both Mineral Reserves and Resources are effective as of December 31, 2021 (cut-off grade unavailable)[4].
Antamina NPI
Since 2006, the 1.66% Antamina NPI has paid between approximately US$7-$40 million per year, with an average annual payment of US$19 million. In 2021, the Antamina NPI payment was approximately US$40 million. The project operates in the first cost quartile of copper mines[5]. The NPI is paid by a Canadian affiliate of Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) and is guaranteed by Teck.
The 1.66% Antamina NPI is calculated based on free cash flow at CMA. The calculation includes net proceeds from all sales less all site costs, offsite costs, capital expenditures, all incoming and mining taxes and environmental costs, third-party financing inflows and outflows, third party interest, and working capital changes. The holder of the NPI cannot be called upon to contribute cash to the operation.
FINANCING THE NPI TRANSACTION
Antamina Silver Stream and Residual Royalty
Concurrent with the Sandstorm BaseCore Transaction, Horizon will issue Sandstorm a silver stream on the Antamina mine (the “Antamina Silver Stream”). Under the terms of the Antamina Silver Stream, the Resulting Issuer will sell to Sandstorm silver ounces equal to 1.66% of all silver produced at the Antamina mine at a price equal to 2.5% of the silver spot price. The Antamina Silver Stream will be senior secured by the 1.66% Antamina NPI.
Horizon will also issue a royalty to Sandstorm equal to approximately one-third of the total Antamina NPI (approximately 0.55%), paid net of the Antamina Silver Stream servicing commitments (the “Antamina Residual Royalty”).
Debenture, Cash and Equity
Under the terms of the LOI, Horizon will be required to raise US$50 million, which amount will be paid to Sandstorm at closing of the RTO. Full details of the proposed subscription receipt financing will be issued in a subsequent RNP press release in due course.
The Resulting Issuer will issue Sandstorm a US$105 million debenture (the “Debenture”). The Debenture is in addition to the previously announced debenture with Sandstorm (see Initial News Release) and is expected to bear an interest rate of 3% over a 10-year term. Principal repayments are subject to a 100% cash sweep of the excess cash flow Horizon receives from the 1.66% Antamina NPI after the Antamina Silver Stream and Antamina Residual Royalty obligations are paid. The Debenture will be senior secured by the Antamina NPI. Prepayment of the Debenture can occur at any time prior to maturity without penalty.
Horizon will also issue Sandstorm US$26 million worth of RNP shares. Post issuance, Sandstorm expects to maintain its 34% equity interest in Horizon following completion of the RTO.
Conditions and Timing
The Horizon LOI is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, execution of definitive agreements, TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) acceptance, disinterested RNP shareholder approval, and RNP raising US$50 million, as described above.
It is intended that the NPI Transaction will form part of the RTO, however, the RTO, as originally contemplated and announced in the Initial Press Release, will not be contingent on the closing of the NPI Transaction. RNP intends to seek shareholder approval for the RTO as originally contemplated and for the RTO including the NPI Transaction as separate resolutions of the RNP shareholders.
The RTO is currently expected to close in the second half of 2022.

Finastra Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Fintech Security
Source: KrebsOnSecurity
The cybersecurity landscape is buzzing after Finastra, one of the largest financial technology providers globally, confirmed an investigation into a potential data breach. Reports suggest unauthorized access to its systems, raising concerns about data security across its client base, which includes thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide.
Implications and Challenges
While the details of the breach remain sparse, this incident underscores a glaring vulnerability in the fintech sector—cybersecurity. As financial services increasingly rely on interconnected ecosystems, breaches like these threaten not only individual institutions but also the trust customers place in fintech platforms.
The key takeaway for the fintech industry is clear: proactive cybersecurity strategies must go beyond compliance. Real-time threat detection, robust encryption standards, and regular audits are no longer optional but essential for maintaining operational integrity.
Future Considerations
This breach could trigger a domino effect, prompting regulators to tighten security standards and requiring fintech companies to double down on investments in data protection. Startups and mid-tier players, often lacking extensive cybersecurity budgets, may face significant pressure to keep pace.
