John Theobald, CEO of Anglo Pacific, commented:
"The record royalty income that the Company achieved in the period is testament to the quality and resilience of the royalty portfolio.

The adverse weather conditions in Australia that impacted production levels at our key royalty project, Kestrel, were offset by higher coking coal prices.
We have expanded our royalty portfolio during the period with the completion of the Araguaia option and the acquisition of two additional royalties after the period end.

This continues our strategy of adding depth and diversification to our future royalty income."

Notes to editors:
Anglo Pacific Group PLC is a global natural resources royalties company.

The strategy of the Group is to expand its mineral royalty interests in low-cost, long-life mining assets.

The Group achieves this through both direct acquisition and investment in projects at the development and production stage.

It is a continuing policy of the Group to pay a substantial proportion of these royalties to shareholders as dividends.
Royalties explained:
A royalty is an entitlement to an agreed percentage of a projects sales revenue, without any liability for production costs or capital expenditure.

This is the key benefit of owning a royalty.
In the mining industry, most royalties endure for the life of the resource and are paid on a regular basis.

Historically there have been different terms for royalties including Gross Revenue or Net Smelter Return ("GRR" or "NSR") royalties, which are both based on the gross sales value of the actual mineral.

Our model is based around GRR or NSR royalties as they provide the best and clearest return.
Acquiring existing royalties In this case we buy existing royalty agreements, such as those owned by exploration companies who may have retained a residual royalty in a mine they helped discover.

Royalty companies rarely sell their royalties, once acquired.
Creating new royalties Our new royalty agreements tend to come from providing financing for mining operations, usually to help progress a mine into production.
