Amended NSR Agreement During 2016, the Company issued 15,000,000 common shares at $0.05 under an amended agreement with arm’s length third parties that hold a NSR related to the Company’s interest in the Treaty Creek property located in NW British Columbia. The amended agreement reduces the prior $6 million payment obligation which was potentially triggered if the Company reduced its 51% interest in the property, or granted access for development and tunnel construction.
Additional terms of the amended agreement include: AMERICAN CREEK RESOURCES LTD. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FORM 51-102F For the period ended June 30, 2020 - 9 - • The NSR Holders were issued 15,000,000 common shares of the Company.
• The NSR Holders will hold a 2% NSR on certain Treaty Creek property mineral tenures (“Group I”) and a 1% NSR on the remaining Treaty Creek mineral tenures (“Group II”). The NSR interests apply only to the Company’s interest in the Treaty Creek property. Within 30 days of a Treaty Creek property feasibility study being completed, the NSR Holders will be paid an aggregate sum of $1,500,000 in order for the Company to collectively buy out 0.75% of the Group I NSR and 0.25% of the Group II NSR. At any time the Company may buy out a further 0.75% of the Group I and 0.25% of the Group II NSR for the aggregate sum of $1,500,000.
