Sentinel has locked in a 7-year option to buy out a legacy 1% production royalty on Columbia's patented claims for 500oz of gold (~A$3.1m), reducing effective aggregate royalty from 3.8% to 3.2% at fixed cost regardless of resource growth. The deal is structured as cheap carry—only 5oz/year (~A$30k pa) to hold the right, with the balloon payment due only at final investment decision, creating a low-friction de-risking pathway ahead of the November 2026 resource update.

Matthew Herbert's stake diluted from 7.12% to 5.3% following a placement and acquisition, a mechanical outcome unrelated to exploration or operational merit. The filing is a formality on a stock already down 23% from 252d high, with neutral technicals (RSI 49) and minimal recent tape momentum (5d -1%).

Jody Dahrouge's group acquired ~1.7M shares at $0.58 via placement, consolidating a 21.7% stake after dilution from his prior 26.4%. This is a technical substantial holder notice reflecting an internal recapitalisation rather than a positive endorsement of new capital deployment.
