• Over US$22 million cash on hand as of May 20, 2025 alongside the Company's US$50 million undrawn RCF2025 Outlook

 

2025 Outlook

• Company remains on track to meet record guidance of 11,600 to 13,200 GEOs, translating to record adjusted revenue of US$30.1 million to US$34.3 million, based on a gold price of US$2,600/oz and a copper price of US$4.00/lb. Production is anticipated to be weighted towards the first half of the year, driven by first gold sales from the Korali-Sud royalty
• This guidance represents a 38% increase in GEOs and 50% year-on-year increase in adjusted revenue at the mid-point of guidance, with full exposure to higher gold prices
• Elemental Altus is in a net cash position, with flexibility for new acquisitions utilising the $50 million RCF and the strong free cash flow being generated
• Elemental Altus has a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") in place to purchase up to 12,288,129 common shares in the capital of the Company

 

Fred breaks down the financial strength of the company, and the leverage of it’s balance sheet to rising production and revenues in a higher metals price environment. He also highlighted with the roughly $20 million in cash on hand, the expected revenues over $30 million this year, a number of additional incoming $15 million in one-off payments, and the $50 million credit facility on hand, that the company is in a great position to keep reviewing acquisition transactions in the year to come.

 

Wrapping up we cover some of the anticipated growth of the projects at their key cornerstone royalty assets: Caserones, Karlawinda, Korali-Sud, Bonikro, and Wahgnion, the value in their one-off portfolio payments this year, and what types of assets are under consider for future acquisitions.
