115 Royal Gold, Inc. 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance Report About Royal Gold Governance ESG Stewardship Our People Our Operators and Communities Appendices Jurisdictional climate descriptions The ten jurisdictions selected as important to us are climatologically diverse (as described in the table following this section) with respect to historical average temperature and precipitation; precipitation amounts are estimated from the 100-year recurrence of 24-hour storm events and 100-year recurrence wet months. In several of the jurisdictions, a 100-year recurrent wet month can produce more precipitation than the mean historical precipitation for a year. Specifically, these jurisdictions include the Coquimbo Region in Chile, which hosts the Andacollo mine; the Ngamiland Region in Botswana, which hosts the Khoemac a u mine; and Western Australia, which hosts a number of our royalties. In addition, each of the Northern Nevada region, Mato Grosso State in Brazil and the State of Zacatecas has an elevated 100-year recurrence of wet months. Two of the jurisdictions can also be impacted by hurricanes: the Dominican Republic, which hosts the Pueblo Viejo mine; and the State of Zacatecas, which is inland from the east coast of Mexico but has been shown to receive impacts from hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. The table also provides a water risk assessment, as provided by the World Resource Institute’s Aqueduct™ Water Risk Atlas tool, categorized by four water risk indicators. The water risk indicator descriptions are provided on page 102 . Two regions have water risk indicators categorized as extreme: the Coquimbo Region in Chile (with respect to interannual variability and water stress) and the Ngamiland Region of Botswana (with respect to interannual variability). Other jurisdictions have elevated water stress indicators.
