Dalgaranga Developments
Dalgaranga, operated by Ramelius Resources Ltd., is set to become a significant contributor to OR Royalties. On October 28, 2025, Ramelius announced the results of its Never Never Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and the Mt Magnet-Dalgaranga Integration Study:
- Maiden Probable Ore Reserve of 7.0Mt at 7.3g/t Au (1.6Moz).

OR Royalties holds a 1.44% gross revenue royalty (GRR) on Dalgaranga.
Cascabel Acquisition Update
On December 12, 2025, SolGold plc announced a revised cash offer from Jiangxi Copper Company Limited (JCC) for SolGold's shares. This offer values SolGold's total equity at approximately £842 million (or $1.1 billion). JCC currently holds 12.2% of SolGold's issued share capital and has secured significant support from other major shareholders.
OR Royalties owns a 0.6% net smelter return (NSR) royalty over the Cascabel property, which spans approximately 4,979 hectares. Starting in 2030, the Company will receive minimum annual payments of $4.0 million under the NSR until 2039.
Marimaca Oxide Project Update
Marimaca Copper Corp. announced on November 11, 2025, that its subsidiary has received the formal Resolución de Calificación Ambiental (RCA) for its Marimaca Oxide Project (MOD) in Chile. This approval is pivotal in advancing the project's timeline and underscores the Company’s commitment to sustainable development and environmental compliance.
Conclusion and Outlook
As OR Royalties continues to demonstrate growth across its asset portfolio, confidence in its Geo-growth potential strengthens. Despite these advancements, the Company believes the current share price does not fully reflect the underlying value, prompting ongoing activity under its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB). Investors and stakeholders are encouraged to remain informed about further developments.
