30 Jan 2020 from announcement -
'RHI owns a 40% interest in the RHIOJV, which is maintained on a carry basis by API at no
direct cost to RHI until the commencement of commercial production.
Upon commencement of commercial production, RHI may either elect to participate in the
continuing RHIOJV mining operation at the 19% level or elect to convert its joint venture
interest to a 2% FOB Royalty on all RHIOJV iron ore production. In the event of RHI electing
to convert to the 2% Royalty, all funds advanced on RHI’s behalf during the carry phase will
be written off and the company’s interest in the RHIOJV (which will be restricted to the FOB
Royalty) will be debt free.'
The deal was done for AUD 400,000,000 and a reduced royalty of 0.75%, so in effect the cash was for 1.25% of the royalties.
Cash going forward to develop their 100% owned projects and annual income once the JV/ Carry goes into production.
Looks to me a good deal, as they had no costs to prove up the Fe.
