Glencore has announced the completion of the sale of a royalty package by BaseCore Metals LP to Sandstorm Gold Ltd. for a total consideration of US$525 million.
BaseCore is owned 50:50 by Glencore and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (OTPP).
Total transaction consideration was comprised of US$425 million in cash and US$100 million in common shares of Sandstorm as of the announcement date, representing an ownership interest in Sandstorm of 5%.
BaseCore was created in 2017 as a joint venture limited partnership focused on base metals streams and royalties. Glencore contributed a portfolio of selected royalties, which were valued at US$300 million at the inception of the partnership with OTPP.
Glencore expects to receive approximately US$300 million in cash and Sandstorm shares for its 50% interest in BaseCore, including retained cash on balance sheet that will be distributed to Glencore after which the intention is to collapse the business.
