Andacollo a Transformational Deal for Royal Gold

MICHAEL JALONEN, Merrill Lynch (05/15/2009)
"On April 6, Royal Gold announced that it signed a definitive agreement with a subsidiary [Compañia Minera Carmen de Andacollo (CDA)] of Teck Cominco Limited to acquire an interest in the gold production at the Andacollo mine located in Chile for $300 million in cash and Royal Gold shares. We consider the Andacollo purchase to be a transformational deal for Royal Gold as it is expected to increase its annual revenue by over 40% from fiscal 2011 onward, is accretive to longer term CFPS, has a favorable impact on NAV, and adds another long-life royalty asset operated by a world-class mining company."
