The metal purchase agreements comprise a silver purchase transaction related to production from Cerro Moro, Minera Florida and Chapada, a copper purchase transaction related to production from Chapada, and a gold purchase transaction related to production from Agua Rica. 100% of the advanced payment will be used by Yamana to reduce the balance outstanding on its revolving credit facility.

Yamanas Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer Charles Main offered comments on the Transaction as follows: We are very happy to have accomplished this transaction. The streams that we have put in place do not have noteworthy impacts on the projects to which they relate. They represent a modest portion of our copper and silver production which are secondary metals to Yamana and they do not impact our exposure to our primary metal which is gold. With this deal, and with the successful completion of a deal on Brio Gold, the aim and expectation is to be in a position to have generated cash proceeds well in excess of the amount required to complete the pay down of our credit facility before year end, which was one of our planned objectives for the year. This would leave us with a five year undrawn credit facility of $1 billion together with an raised cash balance. With modest debt repayments of $118 million planned for the next couple of years, we believe that Yamana is very well positioned to fully execute on its business plan and on generating and increasing cash flow and free cash flow.
