Callinan Royalties Provides Financing to Gold Royalties Corporation

TSXV: CAA

VANCOUVER, July 31, 2012 /CNW/ - Callinan Royalties Corporation ("Callinan") has entered into an agreement with Gold Royalties Corporation whereby Callinan will provide C$5.4 million to Gold Royalties Corporation ("GRC") via a convertible debenture.

The financing is provided to facilitate in part the purchase by GRC of royalty interests located in the Yukon Territory, Canada.

The convertible debenture will carry an interest rate of 10% per annum and mature on July 30, 2016.  Interest payments shall accrue quarterly and are deferred until the maturity date. The principal and interest are secured by the royalties and corporate assets of GRC.

At Callinan's option and at any time before or on the maturity date, Callinan has the right to convert the principal and accrued interest to 60% of the royalty interests or into share units of GRC comprised of 1 common share of GRC at $0.80 and 1 warrant priced at $1.20. The accrued interest will be converted into shares issued at market price.

If neither conversion option is exercised by Callinan, the full principal and interest will be repaid in cash.  In addition, GRC will hold an early repayment option for $8,600,000 after offering Callinan the right to convert the loan to shares.

Callinan Royalties Corporation is pleased to provide this flexible and alternative form of financing to Gold Royalties Corporation and to find a common interest in facilitating the growth plans of each company.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,
