ASX Announcement
11 February 2026
Unlocking value at Northparkes for both Evolution and Triple Flag Amended and restated metal purchase and sale agreement with Triple Flag
Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: EVN) (‘Evolution’ or ‘the Company’) announces that it has entered into an amended and restated Northparkes metal purchase and sale agreement (‘the Agreement’) with Triple Flag International Ltd (‘Triple Flag’), a wholly owned subsidiary of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp.
The Agreement, which amends the metal purchase and sale agreement entered into in 2020 between Triple Flag and the CMOC Group prior to Evolution acquiring its interest in Northparkes (the ‘Existing Agreement’), provides Evolution with an additional upfront capital contribution, the timing of which aligns with the development of the E22 block cave, while also unlocking the potential to develop the gold-rich E44 deposit at Northparkes via a reduced streaming rate over this deposit.
In addition, the Agreement creates a pathway to develop additional gold-rich deposits at Northparkes in the future, opening up the entire tenement package for other potential gold-rich developments.
Key new terms of the Agreement include:
-
Evolution will receive an advance amount from Triple Flag, by way of a refundable deposit, equal to A$120 million[1] , payable on 15 December 2026 (‘Refundable Deposit’)
-
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the streaming rate over the E44 deposit, a gold-rich near surface orebody that is not part of the current Northparkes life of mine plan but was studied prior to Evolution ownership and is currently in the Northparkes Mineral Resource,[2] will be reduced to the following rates[3] :
-
25% of payable gold production from E44 (from 67.5% under the Existing Agreement)
-
37.5% of payable silver production from E44 (from 100% under the Existing Agreement)
-
Triple Flag will make payments to Evolution equivalent to 10% of the prevailing spot price for any ounces of gold and silver delivered from E44 under the Agreement – consistent with terms of the Existing Agreement
-
In return, Evolution will commit to a binding minimum cumulative delivery obligation of gold and silver to Triple Flag totalling 45koz payable gold and 446koz payable silver between FY31 and FY38[4]
-
If a Final Investment Decision (‘FID’) on E44 is not reached by 31 December 2029, Evolution may elect to repay the Refundable Deposit plus a compensation payment[5] to Triple Flag, and the minimum cumulative delivery obligation will consequently be terminated. If Evolution makes this election, then actual gold and silver production from E44 remains subject to the terms of the Agreement.

- Alternatively, if FID on E44 is reached by 31 December 2029, or if it is not reached by then but Evolution does not elect to repay the Refundable Deposit, Triple Flag can thereafter elect to receive a refund of any uncredited balance of the Refundable Deposit, in which case Triple Flag’s entitlement to all minerals from E44 will be extinguished (including the minimum cumulative delivery obligation).
In addition to the above, the Agreement provides for Evolution and Triple Flag to discuss ways to allow for the mutually beneficial development of other gold-dominant deposits that may be found at Northparkes.
The Agreement does not impact the delivery of gold and silver from other areas of the Triple Flag stream area, which remain subject to the same terms as those included in the Existing Agreement.
In order to meet the December 2029 FID date for E44, Evolution has approved a study to update all aspects of the prior feasibility study on E44, which will commence immediately.
Commenting on the approval, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Lawrie Conway said:
“Today marks a major milestone for our Northparkes operation, where we have now established a pathway to unlock even more value. To achieve this, we needed to have full alignment with Triple Flag on how this value can be realised. Triple Flag has demonstrated throughout our discussions, a commitment to jointly work on unlocking this potential. I thank Sheldon and the team for their collaboration and support of Northparkes.”
Commenting on the agreement, Triple Flag Chief Executive Officer and Director, Sheldon Vanderkooy said:
“I want to congratulate the Evolution team for the significant value they have created at Northparkes through approval of the E22 block cave, commencement of a Pre-Feasibility study to evaluate the potential of a material expansion of Northparkes mill processing capacity, and the potential development of the E44 gold open pit.
“We are pleased to provide additional development funding to Evolution for guaranteed minimum gold and silver deliveries from the gold-dominant E44 deposit, which will create value for the shareholders of both Evolution and Triple Flag. The gold potential of the Northparkes land package in this higher gold price environment is immense, and we look forward to Evolution continuing its strong track record of exploration success to surface additional value at Northparkes in the future.”
