TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summit Royalties Ltd. (TSXV: SUM, OTCQX: SUMMF) ("Summit" or the "Corporation") is pleased to celebrate the one-year anniversary of its public listing on the TSX Venture Exchange and highlights the many accomplishments made over the past year as a public company.
Drew Clark, President and CEO of Summit, commented: "Our first year of trading has been nothing short of transformative for Summit. We have amassed a portfolio of 46 royalties and streams providing us with an incredible path of organic growth as our operating assets go from four to six over the Next eighteen months. During the year, we delivered several important milestones, including the acquisition of a royalty on Newmont’s Saddle North deposit, the completion of our acquisition of Star Royalties and the establishment of a US$25 million revolving credit facility, expandable to US$50 million. Together, these achievements have broadened our portfolio, strengthened our financial capacity and positioned Summit to pursue its Next phase of disciplined accretive growth.”
Key Achievements since public listing:
| • | Share Price Performance: Since the start of trading on November 10, 2025, Summit’s share price has outperformed its peers and the gold price, increasing by 47% to November 9, 2026 while a basket of select peers and the gold price have declined over the same period.1 | |
| • | Acquisitions and Continuing our Successful Track Record: Summit has accretively deployed over US$35 million in 2026 thus far with the acquisition of a 1% NSR royalty on the Saddle North deposit for US$3.5 million and the acquisition of Star Royalties for US$32.5 million. | |
| Saddle North is a gold-rich copper porphyry deposit located in the Golden Triangle in northwest British Columbia, Canada, owned by Newmont Corporation. According to Newmont’s public disclosure, the project has strong access to existing infrastructure, power, and a capable workforce, and is situated near the Red Chris mine, which is currently operated by Newmont. | ||
| The acquisition of Star Royalties brought the high-quality gold stream on Copperstone into Summit’s portfolio. The operator, Mining Americas Inc., released an updated PFS on the asset in Q2-2026, and, according to the operator, a maiden open-pit resource is expected Q4-2026. Based on operator guidance, Copperstone is expected to enter production in late 2027, which Summit expects will significantly increase its revenue and cash flow. | ||
| Both these acquisitions strongly align with Summit’s investment objective of growing Summit on an accretive, per-share basis. | ||
| • | Bolstering Team : Strengthened the Team with the addition of Kevin MacLean as Chief Investment Officer, Kathy Lai who was recently promoted to the role of Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, and the appointment of Jay Layman to the board of directors. | |
| • | Access to Capital: In July 2026, Summit entered into a credit agreement with National Bank of Canada for a revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with an initial commitment of US$25 million. The Facility includes an accordion feature providing for up to an additional US$25 million. Management believes the Facility strengthens our balance sheet, provides us with significant financial flexibility to pursue larger accretive royalty and streaming acquisitions, and lowers our cost of capital. | |
| • | Enhanced Capital Markets Profile: Summit’s profile has been materially enhanced with three independent brokerages launching research coverage during the year, which management believes has contributed to improved trading liquidity for our shares. Management has also met with over 300 institutional and retail investors since going public and has attended conferences across the globe to raise awareness about the Corporation. |
