Accordingly, certain amounts in this table have been adjusted to reflect unaudited calendar year information. 2 Water consumption values have been validated by Skarn Associates to be within the expected range. A three-year rolling average is applied to minimize year-to-year change in storage (typically unreported) and precipitation extremes. 3 Royal Gold’s interest is either a portion of the asset or part of a complex, and water consumption is assumed to be equally proportioned to all GEOs. 4 Royal Gold attributed water consumption = Validated water consumption x Royal Gold % of site production (million liters). 5 Water consumption intensity for assets that were not included in the Skarn Associates database have been assumed to be equal to the average of the portfolio. 6 Beginning January 1, 2023 Wassa is no longer considered a Principal Property. 7 Validated water consumption estimates were provided by Skarn Associated as reported in their database, Skarn Water – Gold Q1 2023.xlxs 8 Skarn Water – Gold Q1 2022.xlxs and/or confidential communications.
