Brigus’ principal asset is the Black Fox mine and mill (“Black Fox”) in the Timmins Gold District of Ontario, Canada. Sandstorm has a gold stream agreement to purchase 8% of the life of mine gold from Black Fox and 6.3% of the life of mine gold produced from the Black Fox Extension, at US$500 per ounce.
