Americas Bullion Royalty Corp.

Americas Bullion Royalty Corp. focuses on acquiring precious metal royalties and streaming assets which provide revenue as well as lower risk exposure to shareholders through project diversity in stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions. The Company's existing portfolio is highlighted by Gross in-kind Royalties on Midway Gold's Pan and Gold Rock deposits, as well as 2 separate royalties encompassing more than 34 square miles at Barrick Gold's Bald Mountain project in Nevada.

The Company holds additional royalties including Net Smelter Return Royalties on the Taylor Silver project and a portion of the Tonkin Springs project also in Nevada. The Company's royalty holdings comprise more than 100,000 acres located primarily in Nevada, with 7 of the projects located in Wyoming, Oregon, California and Mexico. Current royalty revenue is expected to accelerate as early as 2014 as several of these projects commence production. Americas Bullion Royalty Corp.'s prime royalty portfolio is unique in the mineral development industry due to its ability to receive the majority of projected revenues in-kind (gold bullion as opposed to cash), its possession of gross royalties with no exposure to operator cost, as well as its security of title with no buyback or buyout provisions.
