THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- PREMIER ROYALTY INC. (TSX:NSR) ("Premier Royalty" or the "Company") understands that Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm") acquired from Premier Gold Mines Limited ("Premier Gold") its entire position of common shares and warrants of the Company on or about January 29, 2013.

In addition, on January 30, 2013, Sandstorm announced that it acquired an additional 11 million common shares of the Company. With the completion of these acquisitions, the Company understands that Sandstorm owns 46,678,221 common shares of Premier Royalty representing approximately 59.9% of the currently issued and outstanding common shares of Premier Royalty.

Premier Royalty further understands, based on public disclosure, that the share purchase agreement between Sandstorm and Premier Gold contains a top up provision whereby if Sandstorm acquires 100% of the remaining issued and outstanding securities of Premier Royalty on or before the 18 month anniversary of the execution of the share purchase agreement (the "Subsequent Acquisition") and the average price of the securities of Premier Royalty purchased through the Subsequent Acquisition is greater than the per unit price paid by Sandstorm under the share purchase agreement, Sandstorm must pay Premier Gold an amount that is equal to the difference between the per unit price paid under the share purchase agreement, and the average price of the voting securities of Premier Royalty that Premier Gold would have received if Premier Gold sold the common shares and warrants to Sandstorm pursuant to the Subsequent Acquisition.

In light of these transactions, Premier Royalty's Board is reviewing the need to appoint a financial advisor.

Abraham Drost, President and CEO of Premier Royalty stated:

"We wish to confirm our willingness to work with the board and management team at Sandstorm. We believe it continues to be "business as usual" for Premier Royalty as it continues to seek to optimize shareholder value as we realize on cash-flowing acquisition opportunities in the mining royalty space."
