Altius Minerals (TSX: ALS, OTCQX: ATUSF) has received a partial arbitration award regarding its royalty interests in the Silicon gold district in Nevada. The arbitration between Altius Royalty and AngloGold Ashanti North America (AGA) has determined that Altius's royalty rights include the entire 26.6 km² base area of interest (Base AOI) and certain contiguous/adjacent mineral lands held by AGA.
The Tribunal has given the parties 60 days to jointly submit a detailed list of claim units subject to the royalty. Based on preliminary interpretations, Altius believes the known extents of the Silicon and Merlin deposits, including the southern Merlin extension beyond the Base AOI, fall under its royalty. However, lands acquired from third parties like Coeur Sterling and Corvus Gold before the 2015 Royalty Agreement are excluded.
The award potentially allows for significant expansion of Altius's royalty rights around the Base AOI, including several kilometers along northwest and northeast trend extensions.
