Accordingly neither Bell nor Rogue River will retain any net proceeds from the sale. In addition to discharging its security and releasing Rogue River from all of its debt, Macquarie will, as part of the transaction, terminate the 2% NSR royalty on the La Balsa project held by Macquarie and return to Bell for cancellation 19,036,820 common shares of Bell held by Macquarie.
