https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2020/06/24/alexco-moves-forward-to-production-at-keno-hill
Payment by Wheaton to Alexco for 25% of silver production from Keno Hill.
(First 2 years, if 8 million oz total production, of which 2 million oz to Wheaton)
In the case of today's 24 dollar silver, payment to AXU for the first two years or 2 million oz would be 2.40/oz USF, or about 3.36/oz Canadian.
[90 - ((24 -15) *10) = 90%-90% =0% of spot (but adjust to minimum 10%) * 24.00 = 2.40 USF.]
and
For 30 dollar silver, Wheaton pays 3.00 USF or say 4.20 CDN.
For 20 dollar silver, Wheaton pays 8.00 USF or say 11.20 CDN
And for 10 dollar silver, Wheaton pays 90% of spot or 9.00 USF or say 12.60 CDN.
(Note that maximum and minimum payments are 90% and 10% of spot. Below 15 spot invokes max 90%, above 24 invokes minimum 10%).
I believe this accurately represents the current payment agreement. All these agreements except the first one have been a little complicated.
To add a bit more to this story it seems not all of the claims in the Keno Hill area are covered by this new agreement. On Sandstorm Gold's Website they list some 25% royalties on properties not included n the current mining plan that Alexco may want to include at some point.
The Keno Hill project is located in the Selwyn Basin in the Yukon Territory. The property lies within the Keno Hill District of polymetallic silver-lead-zinc veins, where there are more than thirty-five past producing mines. Alexco’s land package covers a substantial portion of the district with more than 200 km2.
A Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) released in 2019 looked at production from four deposits: Bermingham, Flame & Moth, Bellekeno, and Lucky Queen.
The Sandstorm royalty covers a portion of the Keno Hill claims around the Bellekeno and Bermingham deposits but the PFS mine plan does not include ore from the royalty ground.
The royalty was acquired as part of a package of royalties purchased from Teck Resources in 2016.
