Osisko Gold Royalties bets on Sable Resources

Sable Resources (TSXV: SAE) says agreements potentially worth up to $12.6 million with Osisko Gold Royalties (TSX: OR) will finance exploration across its projects for the next four years. Osisko is taking a 9.86% stake for $2.08 million in the junior grassroots explorer — acquiring 16 million units at 13¢ per unit — a 12% premium to Sable’s 30-day volume-weighted average price per share. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant, exercisable for three years at a price of 21¢ per share.
