VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 6, 2020 /CNW/ - Elemental Royalties Corp. ("Elemental" or "the Company") (TSX-V: ELE) is pleased to note that Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga") (TSX: TGZ) has reported an updated life of mine plan and increased 2020 production guidance at its Wahgnion Gold Operation ("Wahgnion"), located in southwest Burkina Faso, West Africa. Elemental acquired a 1% net smelter royalty over Wahgnion from a third party in January 2020.

Highlights:

• Teranga has increased Wahgnion's 2020 production guidance to between 150,000 – 165,000 ounces, a 15% – 18% increase from earlier guidance of 130,000 – 140,000 ounces
  
  
• Since commissioning, Wahgnion's processing plant has performed approximately 25% above nameplate capacity for throughput and gold recovered
  
  
• Teranga has also updated the Life of Mine plan to accommodate higher throughput capacity, increasing annual expected production by 25% with a corresponding reduction of mine life to 10 years based on the currently-defined Mineral Reserve
  
  
• Annual gold production is expected to average 150,000 ounces through 2025
  
  
• A multi-year drilling and exploration program has commenced with the goal of extending mine life to 15 years at three existing deposit areas and more than a dozen exploration targets

"Since acquiring the royalty on Wahgnion in January we have been encouraged by the significant outperformance at the mine and Teranga's announcement of increased guidance has a very positive impact for Elemental" commented Frederick Bell, CEO. "The increase in expected production at a time of record gold prices is excellent news for the Company following our recent listing. We are also pleased that Teranga have announced a substantial drilling and exploration program that has the potential to extend mine life beyond the existing plan."
