Paul Jones, President of Versamet Royalties (TSX: VMET) (NASDAQ: VMET), joins us to outline the key benefits and considerations from the news on April 6th which announced their acquisition of a 3.52% existing gold stream, from fund entities managed by Orion Resource Partners LP and fund entities managed by affiliates of Blackstone Inc., in respect of gold production from the Eskay Creek gold-silver project; owned and operated by Skeena Resources Limited, and located in British Columbia, Canada, Versamet paid an upfront cash payment of $340 million and issued 2,054,906 common shares to the Vendors. Versamet funded the upfront cash payment through an amended and restated credit facility, which includes an increase of the existing revolving facility from $200 million to $250 million, maturing in March 2029, and a new term facility in the amount of $150 million, maturing in March 2028, for a combined total of $400 million, from the Bank of Montreal and National Bank of Canada. The Amended Credit Facility provides for a $100 million accordion on the revolving facility once the term facility has been repaid in full. Gold Stream Summary Gold Stream:Under the Gold Stream, Versamet is entitled to receive 3.52% of the payable gold production for the life of the mine, provided that the mine successfully achieves certain completion tests on or before September 30, 2027. The Gold Stream is uncapped and has no step-downs or buydown provisions and includes an area of interest. Production Profile:Eskay is expected to produce an average of over 300,000 ounces of gold per year in its first 5 years and an average of approximately 230,000 ounces of gold per year over its initial 12 year life. Delivery Payments:For gold ounces delivered to the Gold Stream, Versamet will make ongoing cash payments equal to 10% of the spot gold price at the time of delivery. Gold Stream Percentage:If the completion tests are not satisfied by September 30, 2027, the stream percentage shall increase to 3.57%, 3.62% and 3.67% if completion is achieved in the first, second or third calendar quarters following September 30, 2027, respectively, and a further additional 0.13% per quarter for the remaining calendar quarters until satisfaction of the completion test. Minimum Delivery Provision:If a cumulative total of 2.61 million ounces of payable gold applicable to the Gold Stream has not been produced by April 1, 2040, Versamet is entitled to a one-time delivery of gold equal to the difference between cumulative gold ounces delivered to the Gold Stream at the time and 2.61 million ounces multiplied by the Gold Stream percentage at the time. Security:The Gold Stream is secured over the Eskay Creek project assets. Paul highlights the nuances between streams versus royalties, the positive tax treatment the stream will receive, the importance of partnering on robust projects with strong operators, and the torque that royalty companies can have if they can demonstrate meaningful growth to the market. Once Eskay is up and operating at full commercial production, it should augment the projected 20,000-23,000 Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs) by an additional 10,000 GEOs per annum. Paul points out that by borrowing approximately 1/3 of their overall market cap, that they've increased the GEOs by essentially half; not including any future exploration or production upside on the Project.

"Welcome to "With the Sauce" the ultimate rendezvous for music enthusiasts! Tune in every Friday 12:00-14:00
I recently interviewed Linda Eskay, a Defender Endotype, and someone who brings a refreshing level of clarity to a problem most parents are secretly wrestling with: anxious kids who feel overwhelmed, pressured, or disconnected. Linda doesn't treat anxiety as a disorder; she treats it as information. A signal that something in the environment is misaligned. And she shows parents how to shift the patterns inside their home so that their kids can breathe again. In this conversation, we talk about belonging, nervous system regulation, internal motivation, and what actually creates emotional safety for young people. What I love about Linda's approach is how grounded it is. She brings real stories from her own kids — letting go of grade perfectionism, raising problem-solvers instead of rule-followers, helping them trust their intuition instead of external expectations. We also get honest about the systems that label kids too quickly, the rise in self-silencing among Gen Z, and the emotional cost of growing up in a world that demands adult level clarity from children still figuring themselves out. Coaches, educators, and parents will hear themselves in this episode. Linda blends neuroscience, spirituality, and practical household tools that any parent can use. She breaks down the root causes behind anxiety, the subtle ways kids suppress themselves to belong, and how parents can create a container where their children feel safe being who they are. If you work with families — or you're raising one — this episode gives you tools that make a real difference. Guest Bio Linda Eskay is a heart-centered advocate, speaker, and coach whose message is about true solutions and true prevention of childhood anxiety. Her soul-led mission is to help parents and young people reconnect to who they truly are beneath the layers of pressure, expectation, and fear.

Will Eskay and Marcel Berry joined us to chat all things William & Mary, Ambush, and TST $1million dollar winnings.
The party goes on. And while some in The Blog Era evolved, most died off. Staying true to himself took a toll on eskay. On his family life, finances, physical and mental well-being. On the music he once loved. What happens when it's all too much? We look at the legacy eskay helped create, from a passion project, from giving a voice to the voiceless, from $10 from eskay's own pocket.
Industries spent years laughing at the blogs, ignoring the blogs, fearing the blogs, getting close to the blogs and robbing the blogs. In 2011, a whirlwind of forces would come together to make sure there were no more lifelines.
By 2010, so many of the bloggers who'd set out to subvert the gatekeepers had become them. Resentment grew: from a new generation of artists, from heavily-financed competition and especially from the labels. More money - spent on building websites, growing networks, signing acts and retaining lawyers - meant closer scrutiny on what started out as passion projects. And it all would come to a head as families gathered around the dinner table.
For years, absent options, artists and bloggers focused on independence. But fuck it! Money! In 2009, it was time to cash in. When Complex started their vertical ad network, NahRight was the first website they even approached. XXL, long in the business of promoting larger-than-life stars from the majors, went left and selected ten blog-friendly rappers to put on their cover. Thanks to this, names like B.o.B., Asher Roth and Kid Cudi got a ton of attention and major label offers.
In 2008, bloggers - who discovered, posted and leaked records with impunity - built momentum. With the spread of these mp3 websites from big cities to unheard-of regions, power was steadily being seized from the record labels. There was success, copy-cats and egos. But there was also a harsh reality: blogs weren't making any money. Eskay, running the most notable site of them all, watched both the landscape and his competition extremely carefully, and decided that he was ready for a giant, new fight.
What started as a small outlet for eskay to celebrate underground music, in two years became a destination for artists like J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Wale, Big Sean and so many others looking for a co-sign outside MTV, Hot97 and XXL Magazine. When NahRight, a rappy-rap paradise, bent its unwritten rules to post Drake, he became a huge deal. With a growing audience and growing influence, suitors began incessantly knocking on eskay's door.
In Downtown Manhattan, a small group of friends attracted attention worldwide thanks to MySpace. There was so much talent within this community: Kid Cudi, Teyana Taylor, Wale, the Cool Kids. But it was Mickey Factz who broke out first, once he was posted on a website called NahRight. The music and media industries didn't take notice until January ‘07, when DJ Drama - the biggest mixtape DJ - was put on the ground by Georgia police with RICO warrants. The dominos tipped and The Blog Era began.
