Sanankoro Timeline

Sanankoro Financing

In April 2026 Cora entered into a binding term sheet with Eagle Eye Asset Holdings Pte. Ltd. ('Eagle Eye'), its largest shareholder, for a US$120 million gold stream (the ‘Stream’) to support the development of the Sanankoro Gold Project through to production. Under the Stream, Eagle Eye will be entitled, for the life of mine, to purchase 30.44% of gold production (reducing to 15.22% if 50% of Stream is drawn) at a price equal to 20% of the prevailing spot gold price. The Company retains the right, for a period of up to 240 days following receipt of all required approvals, to replace 50% of the Stream with traditional senior debt. The binding term sheet remains subject to certain conditions, including the negotiation & execution of definitive documentation, & receipt of any regulatory approvals identified during due diligence.
