VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Lumina Gold Corp. (TSXV: LUM) (OTCQX: LMGDF) (the “Company” or “Lumina”) is pleased to announce that it has received the first US$12 million payment (the “First Early Deposit Payment”) under the previously announced precious metals purchase agreement (the “Gold Stream”) with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd.

The principal terms of the First Early Deposit Payment and the Gold Stream are as described in the Company’s news release dated May 16, 2023, whereby Wheaton will pay a total of US$300 million to acquire  6.6% of the payable gold produced from the Project until 700,000 ounces of gold have been delivered, and 4.4.% thereafter, with US$48 million being paid as an early deposit pre-construction and US$252 million being paid during construction.
