Intl Royalty Corp (ROY) ニュース

Took my profits in Roy and added to my AXU postion. Got more on the dip down last week. This could do 400% like Roy did.

7.45 offer now from Royal Gold...do I hear 8.00

wish I had more myself....if this gets completed take a look at AXU (AMEX) for similar buy out opportunity or just good growth on a silver miner

Looks like Franco is going to buy us out! I had owned Franco in the past (before they sold out to Newmont). I think David Harquel is running Franco now with Pierre the Chairman. Harquel was in charge of Redstone Resources which was the base metal division. I'm sure they've had their eye here for some time. Wish I had more ROY!

ROY-International Royalty reports construction decision on world class Pascua gold royalty * On Friday May 8, 2009, 1:20 pm EDT

NYSE-A:ROY
DENVER, CO, May 8 /CNW Telbec/ - International Royalty Corporation (TSX: IRC, NYSE-Amex: ROY) ("IRC" or the "Company") reports today that Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick" or the "operator") announced that its world-class Pascua-Lama project is proceeding to construction. IRC owns the largest private royalty on the Chilean portion ("Pascua") of the Pascua-Lama project. It is a sliding scale royalty that varies with the price of gold. At a current spot gold price of around US$900/oz, the royalty rate would be 3.15% NSR and is expected to produce US$20 million in annual revenues to the Company. IRC purchased its Pascua royalty for a total of US$56.5 million in several transactions occurring in January through August of 2007.

According to the operator, Pascua-Lama currently has approximately 18 million ounces of contained gold in Proven and Probable Reserves, 4.7 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Resources(1), and is expected to have a mine life of more than 25 years. During the first five years of production, Barrick estimates average cash costs of US$20-US$50/oz gold and average annual production of about 750,000-800,000 ounces of gold. Commissioning of the project is expected in late 2012 and production in early 2013. The operator estimates pre-production construction costs of US$2.8-3.0 billion.(2) As a royalty holder, IRC is not exposed to this or any future capital expenses for the Pascua-Lama project.

Additional information on the construction of the Pascua-Lama project is available at http://www.barrick.com/Theme/Barrick/files/docs_presentations/05.07.2009%20-%2 0Pascua%20Lama%20Go%20Ahead%20Webcast.pdf.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
---------------------------------------------------------


Some of the statements contained in this document are forward-looking statements, such as statements that describe IRC's future plans, intentions, objectives or goals, and specifically include but are not limited to IRC's expectations as to gold production levels at the Pascua-Lama mine, and corresponding expected royalty revenue. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expects", "enable", "anticipates", "estimated" or words of similar effect. Since forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and address future events, conditions and expectations, forward-looking statements inherently involve unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors well beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements depending on, among others, such key factors as the prices of the underlying commodities, accuracy of operator estimates, actual production at the Pascua-Lama gold project, absence of production delays or regulatory issues and other risks associated with mining operations. IRC's forward-looking statements in this document regarding the anticipated production are based on certain assumptions. Such assumptions include, but are not limited to, the validity of statements made by the project operators in the public domain, and their ability to finance, construct and successfully operate the Pascua-Lama project. The forward-looking statements included in this document represent IRC's views as of the date of this document and subsequent events and developments may cause IRC's views to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing IRC's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Although IRC has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Cautionary note to U.S. Investors: The SEC permits the disclosure of only those mineral deposits that can be economically and legally extracted and produced. This news release uses the team "Measured and Indicated Resources" which the SEC guidelines prohibit from inclusion in filing with the SEC.

This is a great cheap stock to own that makes money and pays a dividend precious metals will rebound and this stock will be at the forefront of that rebound, they have continued to expand there royalties in there portfolio and have made some key aqusitions that will help pay off for them in the long term.

International Royalty Corporation reports second quarter results




AMEX:ROY TSX:IRC

DENVER, CO, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Royalty Corporation (AMEX:ROYAMEX:TSX:AMEX:IRC) (the "Company" or "IRC") today reported its second quarter 2008 financial results. All figures are unaudited and in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

Quarterly Highlights

Royalty revenues were $8,610,000 for the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $4,597,000 from the same period last year. An increase in royalty revenues from the Southern Cross and Meekatharra gold mines of $113,000 and $51,000, respectively, were offset by a decrease of $4,741,000 in gross revenues from the Voisey's Bay nickel-copper-cobalt mine which is attributed to the significant drop in nickel prices from 2007 levels.

The Voisey's Bay royalty payment during the second quarter of 2008 was based on total contained nickel in concentrates of approximately 30.5 million pounds, compared to approximately 29.7 million pounds for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in paid production was offset by a sharp decrease in the average price of nickel during the quarter from $21.10 per pound in the second quarter of 2007 to $12.93 per pound in the second quarter of 2008. These quarterly royalty revenues do not include revenues derived from the copper concentrates produced during the corresponding period due to seasonal transportation schedules. The copper concentrates produced during this period typically are reflected in the third and fourth quarter royalty revenues.

Net earnings during the quarter were $927,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share in 2007.

Cash flow from operations decreased from $6,642,000 in the second quarter of 2007 to $(467,000) during the second quarter of 2008. This decrease in cash flow was primarily due to an income tax payment of $7,502,000 paid during the second quarter of 2008.

Six Month Highlights

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, royalty revenues decreased $4,492,000 to $18,893,000 as compared to $23,385,000 for the same period in 2007. An increase in royalty revenues from the Southern Cross and Meekatharra gold mines for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $272,000 and $93,000, respectively, were offset by a decrease of $4,848,000 in gross revenues from the Voisey's Bay nickel-copper-cobalt mine.

The Voisey's Bay royalty payment during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was based on total contained nickel in concentrates of approximately 68.4Â million pounds, compared to approximately 56.7 million pounds for the same period in 2007, an increase of 20.7%. The increase in paid production in 2008 was offset by a decrease in the average price of nickel during the quarter from $18.96 per pound in the second quarter of 2007 to $12.63 per pound in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 33.4%.

Net earnings during the first six months of 2008 were $3,338,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to $6,860,000, or $0.07 per share in 2007.

Cash flow from operations decreased from $11,608,000 in 2007 to $5,931,000 in 2008. This decrease in cash flow was primarily due to an income tax payment of $7,502,000 paid during the second quarter of 2008.
