In the case of the call option, Victoria has to make a payment on the call option date equal to the C$ gold price less $1,950. If the gold price at that time is C$2,400, then Victoria has to make a cash payment to McQuarie in 2020 equal to ($2,400 - $1,950) x 20,000 oz = 9 million C$.
MVargas - Victoria sold call options for 40,000 oz in 2020.
So, at C$ 2,400/oz Victoria Gold will have to pay McQuarie C$18,000,000 in 2020.
At the same gold price they will pay C$27,000,000 in 2021.
Total "handover" would be C$45,000,000 - but they "saved" C$4,000,000 by not having to pay for the put options at C$ 1,500/oz.
Now that is a heck of a deal..."ZERO UPFRONT COSTS" as John McConnel would advertise.
Exploration budget for 2020 is still C$5M...
