An article was just published last night about how billionaire gold investor Eric Sprott recently sold 3.3 million shares of Kirkland Lake Gold (TSX: KL) for proceeds of CAD$168 million and has reinvested CAD$139.5 million of this money into 17 different small-cap gold, silver, and nickel companies.

Ely Gold Royalties (TSXV: ELY) has been Sprott's 11th largest investment in recent months, with Sprott investing a total of CAD$2.684 million into the company. The majority of Sprott's investment into ELY was non-dilutive and will actually result in ELY reporting a large net profit on the transaction!
Sprott paid ELY $1.673 million for a 1.0% NSR royalty on the Fenelon Mine Property, operated by Wallbridge Mining (TSX: WM), the #1 largest gaining TSX gold stock of the last twelve months! WM one year ago was trading for $0.08 with a market cap of only CAD$24 million, but over the last twelve months WM has exploded by 431.2% to $0.425 per share where its market cap is now up to CAD$192.58 million!
ELY previously invested a total of $1.2 million for a 3.0% NSR royalty on WM's Fenelon Mine. By selling a 1.0% NSR Fenelon Mine royalty to Sprott for $1.673 million, ELY will likely report a HUGE profit on the transaction!
WM recently completed a 33,233 tonne bulk sample at Fenelon and recovered an incredible 19,037 oz of gold with unbelievably HUGE average gold grades of 18.49 g/t! WM is still exploring Fenelon to further expand its proven/probable gold reserve, but NIA is confident that it will soon become one of the world's highest grade producing gold mines! In NIA's opinion, ELY could be positioned to capitalize more off of WM's success than any other company!
Sprott has also just invested CAD$7 million into a WM private placement while investing CAD$1 million into an ELY private placement! As a gold royalty company, ELY's expenses will remain extremely low and this will help minimize future dilution!
