Arizona Tribune - Orogen Royalties Completes Plan of Arrangement with Triple Flag Precious Metals

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / (TSXV:OGN)(OTCQX:OGNRF) Orogen Royalties Inc. ("Orogen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company and Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. ("Triple Flag") have completed the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") in which Triple Flag has acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Orogen for a total consideration of approximately $421 million, or $2.00 per share (each an "Orogen Share").

The total consideration consists of $171.5 million in cash, $171.5 million in Triple Flag shares, and shares of 1537944 BC Ltd. ("Orogen SpinCo") with an implied value of $78 million. Shareholders at the close of business on July 9,2025, who elected to receive Triple Flag Shares or made no election and defaulted to the share election were prorated such that they will receive 0.02901 Triple Flag shares and approximately $0.74687 cash plus 0.25 Orogen SpinCo shares for each Orogen Share held. Shareholders who elected cash will receive $1.63 cash plus 0.25 Orogen SpinCo shares for each Orogen Share held. Orogen SpinCo will hold all of Orogen's assets and mineral property interests except for the 1% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Arthur Gold project (formerly the Expanded Silicon project) in Nevada, USA.

Concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, Triple Flag has made a strategic investment into Orogen SpinCo and subscribed for 6,756,757 shares of Orogen SpinCo at a price of $1.48 per share for gross proceeds of $10 million. Proceeds of the subscription will be used for Orogen SpinCo's prospect generation business, royalty investment, and general working capital purposes. After the close of business on July 9, 2025, Orogen SpinCo will be renamed Orogen Royalties Inc. with the trading symbol "OGN" on the TSX Venture Exchange. The new Orogen Royalties Inc. (CUSIP#: 687080101) will commence trading July 11, 2025, with 59,359,932 shares outstanding.

Paddy Nicol, CEO of Orogen, commented, "Closing this transaction today allows us to reward shareholders' support of Orogen by crystallizing the value of the royalty on the Arthur Gold project. We maintain our view that the Arthur Gold project is an excellent royalty and has the significant potential to become a cornerstone asset for Triple Flag, and shareholders who received Triple Flag shares will maintain exposure to it through their ownership in Triple Flag."

"After completing the Transaction, new Orogen Royalties Inc. will continue to carry on the same royalty business, operating profitably with its flagship cash-flowing Ermitano royalty in Mexico and portfolio of exciting gold and copper royalties and project assets. This includes the La Rica royalty in Colombia, the Maggie Creek and Spring Peak project options in Nevada, USA, and the MPD South royalty and HWY 37 project option in British Columbia, Canada. We also have several active generative exploration alliances with well established industry partners including Altius Minerals, BHP Xplor, and now Triple Flag. We anticipate over $40 million of partner funded drilling and exploration work on royalties and projects in 2025, and over $3.0 million of partner and self-funded project generation."

Orogen and Triple Flag have also agreed to a generative exploration alliance in western United States generating gold and silver targets geologically analogous to the top tier Arthur (Expanded Silicon) gold project in Nevada, USA. An initial budget of US$435,000 has been planned to acquire prospective opportunities for incoming exploration partners. The commercial objective of the generative alliance is to sell 100% of the interest in projects for cash, equity and a retained royalty. The alliance contracts are expected to be finalized shortly after the Transaction.
