TSXV: CAA

VANCOUVER, July 23, 2013 /CNW/ - Callinan Royalties Corporation has received a payment of $4,911,052 from Hudbay Minerals Inc. This payment includes interest and represents the remaining balance of payments for 2012 to Callinan and brings total royalty payments for the 2012 calendar year to $19,996,975 including interest.

Interim quarterly payments were made throughout calendar year 2012, estimated by Hudbay Minerals Inc. to represent 75% of 6⅔% of the net profits from the 777 Mine and 777 North Mine in Flin Flon, Manitoba, plus $0.25 per ton of ore mined. The remaining 25% is paid with interest annually in July, 130 business days after the financial year end of Hudbay Minerals Inc. as per the agreement. The above payment represents the balance of the 25% withheld over the four financial quarters ended December 31, 2012, adjusted to reflect final calculation by Hudbay Minerals Inc. of the net profits interest.

The payments are derived from Callinan's royalty interests on lands that include the 777 Mine and 777 North Mine at Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada, which are the principal mining operations of Hudbay Minerals Inc.
