12 Royal Gold, Inc. 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance Report About Royal Gold Governance ESG Stewardship Our People Our Operators and Communities Appendices 04 PEÑASQUITO, NEWMONT Zacatecas, Mexico | 2022 Revenue: $43,165,000 The Peñasquito open pit mine and ore-processing facilities are located approximately 200 km northeast of the city of Zacatecas and 27 km west of the town of Concepción del Oro, at 24.65°N latitude and 101.68°W longitude, at an elevation of about 1,900 m above mean sea level. The Peñasquito mine comprises two open pit mines that utilize a conventional truck-and-shovel fleet. Sulfide ore is processed using a conventional crushing, milling and flotation facility to produce zinc and lead concentrates in a plant that has a capacity up to 119,000 tonnes per day. In late 2018, a pyrite leach circuit was added to increase gold and silver recoveries from pyrite utilizing cyanide leaching to produce gold and silver doré bars. Concentrates are shipped by truck to seaports for export, or to smelters within Mexico, while gold and silver doré are sold to refiners within Mexico. Process water is drawn from groundwater wells in the Cedros basin and pumped to the site. Power is supplied under a power purchase agreement with the Comisión Federal de Electricidad, through the national power grid. Open pit mining commenced in 2010 with a current mine life out to approximately 2031. Based on ore reserves, the Operator estimates that exploration potential could extend mine life.
