Yamana Gold has completed the sale of a portfolio of royalty interests and a contingent payment agreement to Nomad Royalty Company for a consideration of $65m.

Formerly known as Guerrero Ventures, Nomad will start trading on the TSX by 29 May.

According to Yamana, the contingent payment agreement relates to declaration of commercial production at the Deep Carbonates project at Argentina’s Gualcamayo gold mine.

Yamana has received an initial upfront cash consideration of $10m from Nomad towards the transaction. It also received $45m in common shares of Nomad priced at C$0.90 ($0.65) a share.

In a press statement, Yamana stated: “In addition, Yamana has the right to receive an additional $10m through a deferred cash payment, that may be paid in cash or common shares of Nomad.

“Yamana is entitled to receive interest on the Deferred Cash Payment at a rate of 3% per year and the Deferred Cash Payment may be converted at any time, in whole or in part, by Yamana into shares of Nomad at a conversion price of C$0.90 ($0.65) per share.
