VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (“Metalla” or the “Company”) (CSE:MTA) (OTCQB:MTAFF) (FRANKFURT:X9CP) is pleased to announce it has filed its annual audited Financial Statements for the year ending May 31, 2017 and associated Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”). For complete details of the Financial Statements and MD&A, please see the Company’s filings on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or the Company’s website (www.metallaroyalty.com).
The Company has also scheduled its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“AGM”) for November 2, 2017 at 10am PDT. It will be held at the Company’s office at Suite 501, 543 Granville St VANCOUVER, BC V6C 1X8 Canada.
On September 1, 2016 Metalla (formerly named Excalibur Resources Ltd.) completed an acquisition of a specialty royalty and streaming finance company High Stream Corp. (“High Stream”). This allowed the Company to expand its efforts on a new strategy of acquiring precious metal based royalty and streams. As part of the transaction, Excalibur agreed to change its name to the current name “Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd.”.
The Company’s full year audited Financial Statements and related MD&A are for a period which partially predate the closing of the High Stream acquisition. As a consequence, these financial results partially represent a period when the Company was engaged in evaluating various different business strategies to pursue.
Metalla expects that the next quarter’s results, which will be for the period from June 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017, will start to reflect the Company’s royalty and streaming operations.
