Base and battery metals (primarily copper) revenue of $18.3 million for the year compares to $28.5 million reported for 2022 due primarily to the scheduled closure of the 777 mine in Q2 of 2022 and a Q4 lag between mine production and copper stream deliveries from Chapada. At Voisey's Bay nickel production continued to be impacted by the transitioning to underground mining from prior open pit based production. The Corporation recognized its first lithium royalty revenue during the second half of the year from the ramp up of the Groto do Cirilo mine.

The Corporation's preliminary cost of sales on the Chapada copper stream, excluding any depletion for the quarter, is $5.1 million compared to $5.6 million in the prior year. see & read more on
