About Phoenix
The Phoenix Joint Venture Project, a/k/a the Lewis Property, is directly contiguous with the Phoenix Mine placed into production by Newmont Mining in late 2006. Previous operators at Lewis focused their exploration efforts on the Virgin Zone, a major structural-stratigraphic corridor which hosts a portion of the mineralization at Newmont's adjacent Phoenix Mine. Their programs confirmed that the Virgin Zone extends onto the Lewis Property within a similar geological environment, for up to 4.5 km of potential strike length. 224 drill holes have been drilled on the project by the Operator of the Joint Venture.
The Company's Agreement with BMG has received regulatory approval.
The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Michael Maslowski, BSc, CPG, the Company's Chief Operating Officer and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43‐101.
Americas Bullion Royalty Corp.
Americas Bullion Royalty Corp. is a precious metals royalty and streaming company designed to provide revenue as well as lower risk exposure to shareholders through project diversity in stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions. The Company's existing 34 property portfolio, comprising more than 100,000 acres predominantly in Nevada, is highlighted by Gross in-kind Royalties on Midway Gold's Pan and Gold Rock deposits, as well as 2 separate projects encompassing more than 34 square miles at Barrick Gold's Bald Mountain project in Nevada.
Current royalty revenue is expected to accelerate as early as 2014 as several of these projects commence production. Americas Bullion Royalty Corp.'s prime royalty portfolio is unique in the mineral development industry due to its ability to receive the majority of projected revenues in-kind (gold bullion as opposed to cash), its possession of gross royalties with no exposure to operator cost, as well as its security of title with no buyback or buyout provisions
