(with its subsidiaries, “Triple Flag” or the “Company”) (TSX: TFPM, NYSE: TFPM) is pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Orogen Royalties Inc. (“Orogen”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”). Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in US dollars.\n \n\n As part of the Transaction, Triple Flag acquired Orogen’s 1.0% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty on the Arthur gold project (formerly the Expanded Silicon gold project) in Nevada being developed by AngloGold Ashanti plc.
