A $25 million commitment secures a larger royalty on the producing Chapi copper project and a 9% equity stake in Quilla Resources. The deal adds a perpetual, uncapped 1.0% NSR royalty over key expansion concessions, lifting Elemental's total royalty to 3.0% NSR. This deepens exposure to a mine that just restarted production and is targeting a tripling of output to 30,000 tonnes per annum. The equity component aligns Elemental with Quilla's growth ahead of a planned public listing. Funded from cash on hand, the transaction strengthens Elemental's portfolio without dilution, though execution risk remains tied to Quilla's expansion timeline and copper prices.
