1 Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves Introduction Purpose This handbook is intended to be a reference that provides the detail required to understand, evaluate and model Royal Gold’s portfolio. It is not intended to review all aspects of Royal Gold’s business, and readers are encouraged to review additional Royal Gold disclosure and filings for a fulsome overview of strategy, financial performance and risks. Notes to the Reader The disclosures of property information contained in this handbook are derived from publicly available reports of the operators and/or other reports provided to Royal Gold under the terms of Royal Gold’s stream or royalty agreements with the respective operators and have generally been prepared pursuant to the mining disclosure regime of the applicable jurisdiction in which the operator reports. We do not independently prepare or verify this information and, as the holder of the stream or royalty interest, we do not have access to the properties or operations or to sufficient data to do so, and we expressly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of this information. We are dependent on the operators of the properties to provide information to us and we refer readers to publicly available reports of the operators for additional information concerning the properties. Additionally, we may, from time to time, receive information from the operators that is not publicly disclosed by the operators and that we are not permitted ourselves to disclose to the public. The information in this handbook reflects information available to us as of March 31, 2024, or as otherwise noted. Regarding the Portfolio Details portion of this handbook, please note the following: • Mine Life – The mine lives presented are with respect to the mining asset, and not necessarily our stream/ royalty interest. • Mineral Resources and Reserves – Mineral resources and reserves are presented for the properties or portions of the properties that generate our stream and royalty interests without regard to the specific percentage of Royal Gold’s stream and royalty interest. In cases where our stream or royalty interest covers only a portion of a property, only the covered portion of the mineral resource or reserve is included in the summary. For further details regarding the mineral resources and reserves presented in this handbook, please see the Mineral Resources and Reserves section. Note, footnotes are provided in the Footnotes for Mineral Resources and Reserves section. • Area of Interest Maps – The descriptions and depictions of projects and related infrastructure, mineral interests, deposits, veins, targets and other mineralization, and Royal Gold’s stream and royalty interests thereon, are based on public information and/or information provided to us by operators, are approximate, have been simplified for presentation purposes, and are subject to change. As a result, the area covered by Royal Gold’s stream or royalty interest might be a larger or smaller area than the area depicted on a given map. Additionally, any changes in project mineral interests from time to time could modify the areas to which Royal Gold’s interests apply. While we endeavor to update our knowledge of the properties as modifications are made, not all modifications are depicted in the maps in this handbook . Note, footnotes are provided in the Footnotes for Area of Interest Maps section. • Investment Recovered – Calculated pre-tax, net of cost of goods sold. Stage of the Properties Mining assets can be categorized based on their development status, from early-stage exploration through to production. We categorize our portfolio according to periodic reviews of our estimates of the potential revenue contribution and stage of development for each individual property, as follows: • Principal Properties – Properties that are generally in production and are the most significant contributors of revenue to our portfolio. • Producing Properties – Properties with material extraction of mineral reserves. • Development Properties – Properties that have mineral reserves disclosed but no material extraction. • Evaluation Properties – Exploration stage properties that contain mineral resources and on which operators are engaged in the search for reserves. • Exploration Properties – Properties that have no mineral reserves disclosed. Portfolio properties periodically move from one category to another depending on factors such as exploration success or depletion of reserves.
2 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Attributes of Our Business Our Business Royal Gold’s business is to acquire and manage precious metals streams, royalties and other similar production-based interests. By partnering with capable operators, we focus on building and managing a diversified, cash-generating portfolio of precious metal assets, while also accumulating a pipeline of earlier-stage assets that are not yet cash- generating, but have the potential to do so in the future. Streams and Royalties A stream is a purchase agreement that provides, in exchange for an upfront deposit payment, the right to purchase all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine, at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement. A royalty is the right to receive a percentage or other denomination of mineral production from a mining operation. Key Benefits to Our Business Model Upside Optionality – Our transactions are structured to give us exposure to potential higher metal prices, future production expansion and resource conversion. Limited Downside – Our interests are less exposed to operating and capital cost risks compared to a producing mining company. Efficiency – Our business model is scalable and allows us to operate effectively with only a fraction of the employees of a producing mining company. Versatility – The royalty and streaming business can perform throughout the commodity cycle, allowing us to invest counter-cyclically in attractive acquisition opportunities during downturns, while enjoying leverage to higher commodity prices during upturns. Where Streams and Royalties Fit Stream/Royalty and Phase of Project Development Royal Gold offers financing that can be tailored to fit the needs of the operating partner. Exploration • Interest is typically in the form of a royalty and may include a right to finance future project development • Financing proceeds are generally directed towards exploration or early project-development activities Development • Interest is typically in the form of a stream, or a royalty with a right to finance further project development • Financing proceeds are generally directed towards project- development activities Production • Interest is typically in the form of a stream • Financing proceeds are generally directed towards production expansion, development of new projects or other corporate requirements STREAMS STREAMS ROYALTIES ROYALTIES Phase of Project Development ROYAL GOLD ENGAGEMENT
3 Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves Streams Versus Royalties – Details From a cash flow perspective, streams and royalties are comparable in that the revenue from a stream less the ongoing cash price paid per unit of metal delivered roughly equals a royalty-like interest in production. Stream and Royalty Margins Royal Gold’s business is high margin and the average pre-tax margin for revenue less cost of sales was 85% in 2023. 100% 78% ROYAL GOLD MARGIN 1 85% STREAM SEGMENT MARGIN ROYALTY SEGMENT MARGIN Cost of sales $90 Revenue $187* Revenue $418 Stream and Royalty Characteristics Streams • Streams are typically settled by delivery of physical metal. • A stream is typically structured as the purchase by the streaming company of a percentage of metal produced in return for an upfront cash investment and an ongoing cash price per unit of metal delivered. • A stream is structured as a contractual arrangement. An analysis of the credit profile of a counterparty is an important part of due diligence for streams. • The sale of a stream is not taxable upfront in most jurisdictions, so it is a more tax-efficient source of finance. 1 Margin is revenue less cost of sales and is pre-tax. Royalties • Royalties are typically cash-settled. • A royalty is typically structured as gross smelter return (GSR), net smelter return (NSR), net value royalty (NVR), gross value (GV) royalty or net profits interest (NPI). The difference is the amount of deductions permitted prior to calculation of the royalty, ranging from zero deductions (GSR) to defined capital and operating costs (NPI). • In certain jurisdictions, a royalty is an interest in real property that “runs with the land” in the event of an ownership transfer of mineral rights, even if the transfer occurs through bankruptcy. Often, it is registered in government records on the title to the mineral rights. • The sale of a royalty is often treated as a disposition of mineral interests and is subject to upfront taxation to the operator. 31% 69% 2023 Revenue Split
4 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Accounting Treatment 1 1 For further information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our most recently filed Form 10-K. Revenue Recognition A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer control of a distinct good or service (or integrated package of goods and/or services) to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. In accordance with this guidance, revenue attributable to our stream and royalty interests is generally recognized at the point in time that control of the related metal production transfers to our customers. The amount of revenue we recognize further reflects the consideration to which we are entitled under the respective stream or royalty agreement. With respect to our stream agreements, a metal stream is a purchase agreement that provides, in exchange for an upfront deposit payment, the right to purchase all or a portion of one or more of the metals produced from a mine, at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement. Gold, silver and copper received under our metal stream agreements are taken into inventory and then sold primarily using average spot rate gold, silver and copper forward contracts. The sales price for these average spot rate forward contracts is determined by the average daily gold, silver or copper spot prices during the term of the contract, typically a consecutive number of trading days between ten days and three months (depending on the frequency of deliveries under the respective stream agreement and our sales policy in effect at the time) commencing shortly after receipt and purchase of the metal. We settle our forward sales contracts via physical delivery of the metal to the purchaser (our customer) on the settlement date specified in the contract. Under our forward sales contracts, there is a single performance obligation to sell a contractually specified volume of metal to the purchaser, and we satisfy this obligation at the point in time of physical delivery. Accordingly, revenue from our metal sales is recognized on the date of settlement, which is the date that control, custody and title to the metal transfer to the purchaser. With respect to royalties, royalties are non-operating interests in mining projects that provide the right to a percentage of revenue or metals produced from the project after deducting specified costs, if any. We are entitled to payment for our royalty interest in a mining project based on a contractually specified commodity price (for example, a monthly or quarterly average spot price) for the period in which metal production occurred. As a royalty holder, we act as a passive entity in the production and operations of the mining project, and the third-party operator of the mining project is responsible for all mining activities, including subsequent marketing and delivery of all metal production to its ultimate customer. In all our material royalty interest arrangements, we have concluded that we transfer control of our interest in the metal production to the operator at the point at which production occurs, and thus, the operator is our customer. We have further determined that the transfer of each unit of metal production, comprising our royalty interest, to the operator represents a separate performance obligation under the contract, and each performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time of metal production by the operator. Accordingly, we recognize revenue attributable to our royalty interests in the period in which metal production occurs at the specified commodity price per the agreement, net of any contractually allowable offsite treatment, refining, transportation and, if applicable, other contractually permitted costs. Cost of Sales Cost of sales, which excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization, is specific to our stream agreements and is the result of our purchase of gold, silver and copper for a cash payment.
Pueblo Viejo , Sánchez Ramírez, Dominican Republic Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves 5 Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization of Stream and Royalty Interests Stream and royalty interests include acquired stream and royalty interests in producing, development, evaluation and exploration stage properties. The costs of acquired stream and royalty interests are capitalized as tangible assets as such interests do not meet the definition of a financial asset. Producing stage stream and royalty interests are depleted using the units of production method over the life of the mineral property (as stream sales occur or royalty payments are recognized), which is estimated using proven and probable mineral reserves as provided by the operator. Development stage mineral properties, which are not yet in production, are not depleted until the property begins production. Evaluation and exploration stage mineral properties, where there are no proven and probable mineral reserves, are not depleted. Tax Treatment of Streams and Royalties The following is a high-level discussion on tax applicable to our two segments, streams and royalties. Our stream contracts are owned and managed by our Swiss subsidiary. Our streaming business is engaged in metal purchase and sales, which generates active income subject to Swiss and U.S. Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax. Switzerland has a treaty network with the U.S. and other countries and has a competitive corporate tax environment. Income from our streaming business is subject to the GILTI regime, which effectively imposes a worldwide minimum tax on the foreign earnings of U.S. companies. Our streaming business has an approximate tax rate of 13.1% to the end of 2025 and 16.4% thereafter, which includes Swiss statutory rates and the U.S. corporate tax per the GILTI regime. Royalties are owned and managed by our U.S. and Canadian companies. Royalties are non-operating interests and, as such, generate passive income. Income from royalties is generally taxed at the higher of foreign or U.S. tax rates. When allowable, foreign tax credits are claimed to minimize double taxation. Our royalty business is subject to a minimum U.S. and state tax rate of 22%, with higher rates payable in certain foreign jurisdictions.
6 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Timing Differences Related to the Production, Delivery and Sale of Metal Under our streaming agreements, Royal Gold purchases metals produced from a mine, at a price determined by the purchase agreement. Receipt of metal under stream agreements follows a process that includes three key events: mine site production, metal delivery and metal sale. Mine Site Production Mine site production of intermediate metal product, either a doré or concentrate, occurs at the mine site under the control of the mine site operator. This production is reported to Royal Gold by the operator, as per the applicable streaming agreement. Metal Delivery After production of doré or concentrate at the mine site, the operator will arrange for processing of the intermediate product with a smelter and/or refiner to produce refined metal. The quantity of refined metal is used to define the operator’s delivery obligation to Royal Gold. Movement of doré tends to be quicker than concentrates, as doré can be transported efficiently in small shipments by road and air. Concentrates are bulk products and are typically transported in large shipments by road, rail and ship. Timing differences for the shipment of concentrates can vary considerably from operation to operation, with the shipping distance (from mine to smelter) being a key variable, along with container sizing and shipping route logistics. In terms of Royal Gold’s portfolio, the streaming agreements with the most significant timing difference from mine site production to metal delivery are Mount Milligan and Andacollo (typical lag of approximately five months from production). Metal Sale Once refined metal has been delivered to Royal Gold from a particular counterparty, we typically plan to sell it steadily over the period that ends when we expect to receive the next delivery. This means that we typically do not have any metal in inventory from that counterparty when we receive the next shipment from that same counterparty. Selling deliveries steadily over a period allows us to realize pricing that is similar to average metal prices over that period, and we do not actively manage metal sales with the goal of achieving metal price gains by timing the market.

8 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Produced Versus Payable Metal Under stream agreements, Royal Gold receives a percentage of produced or payable metal, the percentage of which is defined by the agreement. Produced metal refers to the metal recovered from mine site operations and contained in the form of either concentrate or doré. Payable metal refers to ounces or pounds of metal paid to the mine operator after the deduction of a percentage of contained metal by a third-party smelter and/or refiner pursuant to smelting and refining contracts. When an operator produces a concentrate, this product is sold to a smelter. The percentage of metal deduction is mainly a function of the type and quality of the concentrate product. When an operator produces doré, this product is sold to a refiner. Due to the purity of doré product, the deductions related to refining costs are relatively modest. In practice, payable factors related to our metal streams are defined within the terms of our stream agreements. Note, the percentages highlighted below are the contractual payable percentages and not necessarily what the operator receives.

9 Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces (“AGEOs”) are a measure used to describe the portion of an operator’s reported reserves or resources that we believe are attributable to Royal Gold’s royalty or stream interest. AGEOs consider our estimate of the value of the reserves or resources subject to a royalty or stream interest converted to gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”). AGEOs are derived from in-situ metal and do not include certain factors that could affect both the future economic viability of the AGEO interest and the value of that interest to Royal Gold. Limitations that prevent the AGEO measure from providing a complete understanding of Royal Gold’s financial interest in a property include: • Metallurgical recoveries are not included in the calculation as these can be variable within a deposit depending on material type and process path. Recoveries are generally unknown for projects with resources that do not have processing methods identified. • Payability factors and treatment/refining charges are not included in the calculation for GV, GSR and NSR royalty interests. • Ore resource conversion factors are not included in the calculation. Operator estimates of mineral resources are subject to development risks that may impact the conversion of estimated mineral resources to mineral reserves. Calculation of AGEOs: • Royalty interest AGEOs – contained metal, in either reserves or resources, multiplied by the metal price, divided by the gold price, which results in the GEO reserve or resource. This GEO quantity is then multiplied by the applicable royalty percentage, as modified by deductions specific to the royalty type, to yield AGEOs. For royalty interests that are calculated on a fixed dollar per tonne or dollar per metal quantity basis, these are converted to a royalty percentage based on internal budget pricing and grade and treated similarly to royalty interests that are determined on a percentage rate basis. Deductions for the different types of royalty interests are included as follows: • GV, GSR and NSR royalties – assume 100% of the royalty rate without deductions, as the deductions for these royalty types are typically not significant. • NVR – include deductions in a range of 5% to 60% of the royalty rate depending on historical deductions or estimates for each specific royalty. • NPI royalties – include deductions of 90% of the royalty rate, as NPI royalties are an interest in net profits and significant deductions are typical. • Stream interest AGEOs – contained metal, in either reserves or resources, multiplied by the net metal price (the metal price less the price paid for future metal deliveries), divided by the gold price, which results in the GEO reserve or resource. This GEO quantity is then multiplied by the applicable stream percentage to yield AGEOs. Metal prices for this calculation are based on Royal Gold’s internal budget pricing, which is developed using various inputs and is updated annually as part of the budgeting process. Budget prices used for the AGEO calculations in this edition of the handbook are: $1,950/oz gold, $23/oz silver, $3.80/lb copper, $0.90/lb lead, $1.10/lb zinc, $7.50/lb nickel, $15/lb cobalt, $12/lb molybdenum and $1.44/ton potash. Mineral Resources and Reserves related to Royal Gold’s stream and royalty interests are reported on page 148 of this handbook.

12 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Exposure to Important Mining Regions As Royal Gold has built its asset portfolio over time, it has established significant exposure to key mining regions. While Royal Gold does not have an explicit strategy to target specific mining regions, certain mining regions have consistently demonstrated characteristics that Royal Gold seeks, such as a rich mineral endowment and a stable regulatory environment. This section highlights Royal Gold’s exposure to key mining regions in Nevada, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Western Australia. The Red Lake area is composed of several communities, all built around former or currently operating gold mines. With a long and rich mining history, a number of mining operators are active in Red Lake today , working to unlock further mining potential in the area. 1 Source: Evolution Mining, 2023 Annual Report 2 Source: Kinross Gold, November 2023 Corporate Presentation RED LAKE BY THE NUMBERS: • The namesake Red Lake gold mine, which began production in 1949, has produced more than 25 million ounces of gold at an average grade in excess of 20 g/t. 1 • Two of the largest historical gold-producing mines, Red Lake and Madsen, have changed hands in the past five years to new operators looking to invest and re-energize operations.

25 Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves Expected Performance and Growth Portfolio Asset Mine Life Mine life, and the potential to extend mine life, is an important characteristic that Royal Gold considers when adding assets to its portfolio. In addition to providing expected economic benefits over many years, a long-life asset fits Royal Gold’s strategy to provide investors with upside optionality, as the longer the life of an asset, the more investors are exposed to metal price volatility, future production expansion, resource conversion and exploration success. In the table below, we present the operator-reported asset mine life for properties where we have a stream or royalty interest. Note, the operator-reported asset mine lives are primarily based on reserves .

26 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Internally, Royal Gold considers resource conversion at the mineral properties underlying its stream and royalty interests and may estimate future production beyond mine lives stated by the operators. However, decisions regarding the development or operation of these mineral properties are determined by the operators and Royal Gold does not publicly disclose these internal estimates. In some cases, the operator may provide additional information that may be indicative of its expectations for mine life extension beyond reserve lives. For example, Barrick discusses the planned conversion of existing resources to reserves at Cortez, potentially extending the lives of the open-pit and underground operations by at least four years and 10 years, respectively. 1 It is also important to note that a stated mine life is given at a point in time. Estimated mine lives can change over time as exploration success and conversion of resources to reserves occurs, and when different assumptions for metal prices, operating costs, operating performance, etc., are considered. Royal Gold has benefited from mine life extensions as reserves have grown as shown in the chart, which shows changes to AGEOs (from gold reserves only) over the past 20 years. As shown, we have added approximately 5.89 million ounces of reserves through the acquisition of stream and royalty interests during this period, and a further 1.19 million ounces of reserves were added by the operators at the assets underlying those interests over the same time period. While production/depletion has reduced reserves by approximately 4.39 million ounces over the same period, organic reserve growth within the portfolio has offset over approximately 27% of this depletion. 1 Source: Barrick Gold, 2023 Annual Information Form Exposure to assets with organic growth and upside potential provides Royal Gold investors with optionality that can add significant value over time.

30 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Mount Milligan Mount Milligan is a large-scale open-pit copper and gold mine operated by Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. (“Thompson Creek”), an indirect subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”). The mine is located within the Omenica Mining Division in north-central British Columbia, Canada. Operational Overview Construction of the Mount Milligan mine began in June 2010, with commissioning of the mine beginning in August 2013 and the achievement of commercial production in February 2014. The mining operation uses a conventional truck-and- shovel fleet, with ore processed through a 60,000 tonne per day flotation processing plant, to produce a concentrate containing copper, gold, and silver. The concentrate is trucked to the rail loadout facility in Mackenzie and railed to North Vancouver where it is loaded onto ships and sent to purchasers located around the Pacific Rim. Royal Gold’s Stream Interest Royal Gold, through its wholly-owned subsidiary RGLD Gold AG, owns the right to purchase 35% of the payable gold and 18.75% of the payable copper produced from Mount Milligan (the “Existing Stream Agreement”). Payable gold is calculated as 97% of contained gold in concentrate. Payable copper is calculated as the greater of 95% or actual percentage paid to Centerra. The cash purchase price for gold is equal to the lesser of $435 per ounce, with no inflation adjustment, or the prevailing market price when purchased. The cash purchase price for copper is 15% of the spot price. CANADA 1 Refer to table on page 31 2 Source: Centerra Gold, February 14, 2024, Press Release OPER ATOR Centerra Gold Inc.

This agreement provides for additional cash purchase prices for gold and copper deliveries in three periods, which are defined by gold and copper deliveries.
31 Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves For more information, please visit: www.centerragold. com . After including the effect of the Cost Support Agreement, the combined effect of the cash payments for gold and copper deliveries is as follows: Period: Jan. 1, 2024, through ~2029 ~2030 through ~2035 ~2036 and Beyond Au Cu Au Cu Au Cu Delivery Thresholds 1 defining triggers for cost support payments: (from Jan. 1, 2024) Pre-Threshold 2 (if Au<=$1,600/oz and Cu<=$3.50/lb) First Threshold (after the earlier delivery of either 375,000 oz Au or 30,000 t Cu) Second Threshold (after the earlier delivery of either 665,000 oz Au or 60,000 t Cu) Combined Effective Payments 3 : If Au<=$1,600/oz and Cu<= $3.50/lb: Lower of $850/oz, or 66% of spot Au 50% of spot Cu Lower of $850/oz, or 50% of spot Au 4 50% of spot Cu Lower of $1,050/oz, or 66% of spot Au 4 66% of spot Cu All other metal prices: $435/oz 15% of spot Cu Metal deliveries to Royal Gold typically occur up to 5 months after production at Mount Milligan due to the time required to ship concentrate from the mine site to the smelter and the payment provisions of the offtake contract. 1 Delivery Thresholds are defined by metal deliveries under the Existing Stream Agreement, which is independent from the Cost Support Agreement, and is used only as a reference for metal deliveries. 2 Pre-Threshold Support payments prior to the First Threshold are at Centerra’s option, and are recoverable from any cost support provided after the First Threshold is reached at metal prices above $1,600 per ounce of gold and $3.50 per pound of copper. 3 Includes the total amount payable per ounce of gold or pound of copper when the effect of the Cost Support Agreement is considered with the Existing Stream Agreement. 4 Given the relevant calculations, the cost support payments are only payable above a spot gold price of $870/oz after the First Threshold, and $660/oz after the Second Threshold. DEVELOPMENTS AND POTENTIAL Centerra is advancing a PEA to evaluate the substantial mineral resources at Mount Milligan with a goal to unlock additional value beyond its current 2035 mine life. The scope of the PEA is expected to include a review of significant drilled inventory to the west of the pit not currently included in the existing resource, and the inclusion of existing resources, most of which are classified in the measured and indicated categories. The PEA will also evaluate several capital projects to support a further mine life expansion, including options for a new tailings storage facility and potential process plant upgrades. The PEA is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025. Centerra is also continuing an exploration program aimed at expanding the mineral resource base significantly at Mount Milligan. At Goldmark and South Boundary, there are possibilities for near-surface additions. At North Slope, DWBX Extension and Saddle West, Centerra continues to test for depth extensions. Furthermore, Centerra is completing a comprehensive site-wide optimization program focused on assessments of health and safety, productivity and cost efficiency opportunities, in concert with mine plan optimization.
32 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Mount Milligan (Cont’d) CANADA Royal Gold’s Royalty Interest Royal Gold also holds a life of mine free cash flow interest (“FCF Interest”), payable annually, of 5% of the cumulative free cash flow generated from Mount Milligan after the earlier of (i) the first fiscal year following delivery of both 375,000 ounces of gold and 30,000 tonnes of copper from January 1, 2024, and (ii) January 1, 2036. The FCF Interest will increase to 10% after the earlier of (i) the first fiscal year following the delivery of both 665,000 ounces of gold and 60,000 tonnes of copper from January 1, 2024, and (ii) January 1, 2036. Free cash flow is defined as gross revenue less total costs including treatment and refining costs, operating costs, exploration costs, capital costs and the net stream costs.

35 Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves Royal Gold’s Royalty Interest Royal Gold owns various royalty interests across the Cortez Complex that include coverage of the producing Pipeline and Crossroads mines (the Legacy Zone), and the Cortez Pits and Cortez Hills mines, and the Goldrush, Fourmile and Robertson development projects, and several exploration targets (the Cortez Complex Zone or CC Zone) on a large land package. Several of these royalty interests overlap in certain areas, creating multiple effective royalty rates across the Cortez Complex. Legacy Zone: The Legacy Zone royalties were acquired in a series of transactions over multi-decades beginning in 1987 when Royal Gold was a party within a joint venture that leased claims covering an area within what would become known as the South Pipeline Project. The two most recent transactions, from August and December 2022, further increased Royal Gold’s royalty interest over the area. An approximate overall 9.4% GSR rate is applicable to Royal Gold’s interests in the Legacy Zone. CC Zone: In 2014, Royal Gold acquired a 1.0% net revenue royalty on the southern end of Barrick’s Goldrush deposit. The CC Zone royalties were primarily acquired in two transactions in 2022 (additionally, Royal Gold had an existing royalty interest on the southeast portion of Goldrush) and significantly increased Royal Gold’s exposure to the overall Cortez Complex. With these two acquisitions, Royal Gold’s exposure to the Cortez Complex increased and provided new royalty coverage to the producing Cortez Pits and Cortez Hills mines, Fourmile and Robertson development projects, and several exploration targets, while provided additional royalty coverage at the Goldrush development project. Approximate royalty rates over these areas include a 0.45% GSR rate at Robertson project, a 1.6% GSR rate at Cortez Hills, Cortez Pits, Goldrush and Fourmile, and a 2.2% GSR rate on the southeast portion of Goldrush. Other Royalties: Royal Gold also owns three additional royalties in the Cortez Complex where there is currently no production and no mineral resources or mineral reserves attributed to these royalty interests. For more information, please visit: www.barrick.com . DEVELOPMENTS AND POTENTIAL Developments to increase production and add resources within the Cortez Complex include the Goldrush underground project (Record of Decision received in December 2023, production ramp-up to start in 2024; expected production of 130,000 ounces in 2024 increasing to 400,000 ounces per year by 2028), the Robertson open-pit project (expected to provide oxide feed to the Cortez mill, with first production expected 2027), and the Fourmile underground project (a conceptual Preliminary Economic Assessment indicates average annual gold production of 300,000 to 400,000 ounces over a +15-year mine life; Fourmile is currently not included as part of NGM and is 100% owned by Barrick). 4 Exploration drilling continues at various targets to extend known mineralization within the Cortez Complex.

Royal Gold acquired the Peñasquito royalty in January 2007 from Minera Kennecott S.A. de C.V. Peñasquito Peñasquito is an open-pit mine composed of two main deposits, Peñasco and Chile Colorado, which host gold, silver, lead and zinc reserves. Peñasquito is operated by Minera Peñasquito S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”), and is situated in the western half of the Concepción Del Oro district in the northeast corner of Zacatecas State, Mexico. Operational Overview Open-pit mining commenced in 2010 and full production was achieved in 2011. Open-pit mining is undertaken using a conventional truck-and-shovel fleet. Processing of sulfide ore to produce zinc and lead concentrates uses a conventional crushing, milling and flotation facility with a design capacity of 130,000 tonnes per day (tpd). In late 2018, the first gold pour was achieved at the pyrite leach circuit addition, which is expected to increase gold and silver recoveries and reduce the amount of metal that would otherwise report to tailings as waste. In early 2024, Newmont announced that the pyrite leach plant was abandoned in Q4, 2023.

38 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Pueblo Viejo Pueblo Viejo is an open-pit gold mine owned by a joint venture in which Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) holds a 60% interest (and is the operator) and Newmont Corporation holds the remaining 40% interest. The mine is located in the central part of the Dominican Republic in the province of Sánchez Ramírez. Operational Overview Pueblo Viejo achieved commercial production in January 2013 and completed its ramp-up to full initial design capacity in 2014, with a further expansion in the final stages of completion. Pueblo Viejo consists of two main open-pits, Moore and Monte Negro, plus a smaller satellite pit, Cumba, and is mined by conventional truck-and-shovel methods. The Pueblo Viejo ore is refractory and consists primarily of gold and silver associated with pyrite. Whole ore (i.e. not subjected to flotation) and flotation concentrate is fed to the autoclaves for pressure oxidation and subsequently treated in a carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit. Flotation tailing (not autoclaved) is sent to a new CIL circuit. Carbon acid wash, elution, electrowinning and smelting produces gold and silver doré bars. The processing plant design capacity is 38,000 tonnes per day.

Royal Gold’s Stream Interest In 2015, Royal Gold’s wholly-owned subsidiary, RGLD Gold AG, entered into a $610 million agreement with a Barrick subsidiary to purchase a percentage of the gold and silver production attributable to Barrick’s 60% interest in the Pueblo Viejo mine. RGLD Gold AG owns the right to purchase 7.5% of Barrick’s interest in payable gold produced until 990,000 ounces have been delivered, and 3.75% thereafter. The purchase price for gold ounces delivered is 30% of the spot price until 550,000 ounces have been delivered, and 60% thereafter. Payable gold is calculated as 99.9% of contained gold in doré. RGLD Gold AG also owns the right to purchase 75% of Barrick’s interest in the payable silver produced until 50 million ounces of payable silver have been delivered, and 37.5% thereafter. The purchase price for silver ounces delivered is 30% of the spot price until 23.1 million ounces have been delivered, and 60% thereafter. Silver deliveries are based on a fixed 70% recovery rate, and there is a mechanism in the stream agreement that allows for the deferral of deliveries in a period if Barrick’s share of silver production is insufficient to cover its stream delivery obligations. Any ounces that are deferred in a period are to be delivered in future periods as silver recovery allows. Payable silver is calculated as 99.0% of the adjusted recovered silver amount. DEVELOPMENTS AND POTENTIAL Construction and commissioning activities for the Pueblo Viejo plant expansion project were substantially completed by the end of 2023 and the expansion is on track to be ramped up in Q2 2024. Development of the El Naranjo tailings facility is in the permitting and design phase with completion of a Feasibility Study expected in Q3 2024. 3 Several early-stage exploration targets have been identified in the area around Pueblo Viejo and are at various stages of exploration review.

(“Teck”); Empresa Nacional de Minería holds the remaining 10%. Gold is produced as a by-product of copper production. The mine is located in central Chile, Region IV, in the foothills of the Andes Mountains approximately 2 kilometers southwest of the town of Andacollo. Operational Overview The Andacollo operation consists of an open-pit mine, sulfide concentrator and copper heap leach facility. Mining of the oxide and supergene enrichment zone of the Andacollo copper deposit began in January 1996. Supergene and oxide ores were processed by heap leaching and production of copper cathode in a solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) plant. Production from the heap leach operation was halted in 2023. Beginning in 2010, the mine began processing hypogene ore (which underlies the supergene ore) through a mill and concentration plant at site producing concentrates for third-party offtake. Copper concentrate is produced by processing hypogene ore through semi-autogenous grinding and a flotation plant with the capacity to process up to 55,000 tonnes of ore per day depending on ore hardness.

Royal Gold’s Stream Interest Royal Gold, through its wholly-owned subsidiary RGLD Gold AG, owns the right to purchase 100% of payable gold until 900,000 ounces have been delivered, and 50% thereafter. The cash purchase price equals 15% of the monthly average gold price for the month preceding the delivery date for all gold purchased. Gold deliveries are determined using a fixed gold payability factor of 89%. Originally, in January 2010, Royal Gold acquired a royalty interest on Andacollo for $217.9 million in cash and 1,204,136 shares of Royal Gold common stock (valued at approximately $53.4 million on the date of acquisition). Under the agreement, Royal Gold, Inc. was to receive 75% of the gold produced from the sulfide portion of the Andacollo deposit until 910,000 payable ounces of gold were sold, after which Royal Gold was to receive 50% of all future payable gold production from the property. In July 2015, after production of approximately 259,000 ounces of payable gold subject to the royalty, Royal Gold announced it had agreed to sell its royalty interest on Andacollo to CMCA for $345 million and terminate the royalty agreement. RGLD Gold AG entered into a new gold offtake agreement with CMCA for the right to purchase 100% of payable gold from Andacollo until 900,000 ounces have been delivered, and 50% thereafter, for $525 million. Importantly, the new stream interest features a larger interest in gold over a longer period and covers an expanded footprint encompassing additional mineral rights relative to the previous royalty interest. Metal deliveries to Royal Gold AG typically occur up to 5 months after production at Andacollo due to the time required to ship concentrate from the mine site to the smelter and the payment provisions of the offtake contract.

Royal Gold’s Stream Interest Royal Gold, through its wholly-owned subsidiary RGLD Gold AG, holds a life of mine purchase and sale agreement for 100% of the silver produced from Zone 5 at Khoemac a u. Royal Gold AG provided stream financing to KCM, the original owner and project developer, during the construction of Khoemac a u, and on January 6, 2021, Royal Gold AG completed a total advance payment of $212 million in return for a base stream of 80% of payable silver. Subsequently, KCM elected to access an option for up to an additional $53 million in advance payments from Royal Gold AG for up to the remaining 20% of the silver produced, and as of March 14, 2022, KCM had fully drawn this additional advance payment, increasing Royal Gold AG’s interest to 100% of payable silver. The stream rate will drop by to 50% of the payable silver upon the delivery to Royal Gold AG of 40 million ounces of payable silver. Royal Gold AG will pay 20% of the spot price of silver for each ounce delivered. Depending on the achievement by KCM of mill expansion throughput levels above 13,000 tpd, which is 30% above the current mill design capacity, Royal Gold AG will pay higher ongoing cash payments for ounces delivered in excess of specific annual thresholds. Metal deliveries to Royal Gold AG typically occur up to a month after production at Khoemac a u due to the time required to ship concentrate from the mine site to the smelter and the payment provisions of the offtake contract. DEVELOPMENTS AND POTENTIAL The Zone 5 mineral resource remains open at depth and in some cases open on strike.

Royal Gold’s Royalty Interest Royal Gold holds a 40% interest on a sliding-scale royalty on the Allan potash mine. The royalty rate varies based on annual potash production. The royalty is based on a sliding scale, which caps at $1.44 per ton at prices above $23; note, potash prices have exceeded $200 per ton for more than a decade. The royalty is 100% of the sliding scale for the first 600,000 attributable tons produced during a calendar year. For 600,000 to 800,000 tons, the royalty reduces to 50%. For all additional production during the year, the royalty rate is 25% of the $1.44. Royal gold holds 40% of an additional royalty, which pays $0.25 per tonne of attributable potash sold for the first 600,000 attributable ton, or a maximum of $150,000 per annum. Royal Gold acquired these royalty interests effective October 1, 2008, as part of the acquisition of a royalty portfolio from Barrick Gold Corporation.

(“Yamana”) each acquired a 50% stake in Osisko, and Agnico Eagle became the sole owner of the Canadian Malartic mine upon the acquisition of Yamana on March 31, 2023. Operational Overview The Canadian Malartic mine is a large open-pit operation mined using a conventional fleet of excavators and trucks. Upon depletion of the Canadian Malartic pit, preparation work will be undertaken for in-pit tailings disposal, which is expected to start in the second half of 2024. Open-pit mining focus will move to the Barnat pit immediately to the east of the Malartic pit. First production from underground operations was achieved in March 2023. Mined ore is processed at the Canadian Malartic mineral processing complex, which has a 60,000 tonne per day nominal throughput capacity. After crushing and grinding, the ore is contained in a thickened slurry and processed using conventional cyanidation followed by carbon-in-pulp processing to produce doré bars containing gold and silver. 1 Source: Agnico Eagle, Corporate Website: The Canadian Malartic pit was depleted in the second quarter of 2023.

88 ROYAL GOLD 2023 Asset Handbook Royal Gold’s Stream Interest In May 2015, Royal Gold’s wholly-owned subsidiary, RGLD Gold AG, acquired a gold stream from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden Star Resources Ltd. (“Golden Star”), which included production from Golden Star’s Wassa, Bogoso and Prestea mines. Effective September 30, 2020, upon the sale of the Bogoso and Prestea mines by Golden Star to FGR, the stream agreement between RGLD Gold AG and Golden Star was separated to provide for a separate stream agreement between RGLD Gold AG and FGR for the Bogoso and Prestea mines. After the separation, Royal Gold has no carrying value assigned to the Bogoso and Prestea stream. RGLD Gold AG has the right to purchase 5.5% of payable gold produced from FGR’s Bogoso and Prestea mines. The cash purchase price for gold is 30% of the spot price of gold per ounce delivered. Payable gold is calculated as 99.5% of contained gold in doré or 99.0% in any other form. Bogoso and Prestea The Bogoso and Prestea properties comprise a collection of adjoining mining concessions that together cover an 85-kilometer section of the Ashanti gold trend district in the central-eastern section of the Western Region of Ghana. Historical mining activity has occurred from underground and open-pit operations feeding both refractory and oxide processing plants. Future Global Resources Ltd. (“FGR”) owns a 90% interest in Bogoso and Prestea, and the Government of Ghana owns the remaining 10%. Operational Overview The Prestea Underground mine is a shaft access, narrow vein, mechanized long-hole operation. Ore is hoisted to surface and trucked to the Bogoso oxide plant for processing. Various small satellite oxide pits are also operating to feed the plant. The Bogoso oxide plant is a 1.5 million tonne per annum (Mtpa) carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit. The Bogoso refractory plant is a 4.5 Mtpa bio-leach plant that was decommissioned in 2015. 1 See Wassa for combined revenue to Royal Gold since Inception. 2 See Wassa for combined advance payment. 3 See Wassa for combined investment recovered.

The cash purchase price for gold is 20% of the spot price of gold per ounce delivered until the delivery of 240,000 ounces, and 30% thereafter. Payable gold is calculated as 99.5% of contained gold in doré or 99% in any other form. Wassa The Wassa mine and mill are located in the Wassa East District, in the Western Region of Ghana. Golden Star Wassa Ltd. (GSWL) owns the rights to mine the Wassa, Benso and Hwini-Butre concessions. Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining Co., Ltd., owns a 90% interest in GSWL, with the Government of Ghana owning the remaining 10%. Operational Overview The Wassa mine was originally developed as a 3 million tonne per annum (Mtpa) open-pit heap leach operation with first ore mined in 1998. After approximately one year of production, it became evident that the predicted heap leach gold recovery of 85% in the oxide ore could not be achieved and the operation was shut down. In 2002 Golden Star Resources acquired the property and constructed a 2.7 Mtpa carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant. The Wassa open-pit operations commenced in 2005. In 2017 commercial production was achieved at the underground operation. Both open-pit and underground mining continue to operate. Access to the underground mine is via declines in the Wassa open-pit, with the capacity to support a production rate of 5,000 tonnes per day. The mining method is sublevel open- stoping with cemented paste backfill. Mining is undertaken using trackless, diesel-powered equipment including twin boom jumbos for development and long-hole drills for production drilling, and mined material is trucked to surface using 40 tonne trucks. 1 Source: Golden Star, December 31, 2020, Technical Report 2 Advance payment includes Bogoso and Prestea 3 Investment recovered includes Bogoso and Prestea OPER ATOR Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining Co., Ltd.

143 Overview Principa l Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves PROJECT OUTLOOK Barrick continues to see substantial potential in the Pascua-Lama Project and work is underway to re-evaluate its potential. This involves a comprehensive internal review of its technical, economic and social aspects as well as different approaches to permitting and development, which is a process that Barrick expects to take a number of years to complete. In 2024, Barrick is planning an updated Pascua Preliminary Economic Assessment to outline project potential scope options. Barrick submitted a closure Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the existing site in January 2024. The updated EIA corresponds to the modification of the closure phase of the Pascua mining project requested by the Chilean Environmental Court, specifically regarding water management. It intends to return the water flows and quality to natural conditions. This will entail the removal of certain infrastructure as per the directive received. The EIA process will include participatory monitoring, working groups and Indigenous consultation in line with our ongoing commitments and standards. 1 For more information, please visit: www.barrick.com .

155 Overview Principal Producing Development Highlighted Evaluation Evaluation/Exploration Mineral Resources and Reserves Footnotes for Mineral Resources and Reserves General Footnotes Set forth below are the definitions of mineral resources and mineral reserves used by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Regulation S-K Item 1300 (“SK 1300”). Mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, taking into account relevant factors such as cut-off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. • Measured mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with a measured mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors, as defined in this section, in sufficient detail to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because a measured mineral resource has a higher level of confidence than the level of confidence of either an indicated mineral resource or an inferred mineral resource, a measured mineral resource may be converted to a proven mineral reserve or to a probable mineral reserve. • Indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with an indicated mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because an indicated mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than the level of confidence of a measured mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource may only be converted to a probable mineral reserve. • Inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability. Because an inferred mineral resource has the lowest level of geological confidence of all mineral resources, which prevents the application of the modifying factors in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability, an inferred mineral resource may not be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project, and may not be converted to a mineral reserve. Mineral reserve is an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted. Mineral reserves are subdivided into two categories, in descending order of geological certainty: • Proven mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource and can only result from conversion of a measured mineral resource. • Probable mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured mineral resource. Royal Gold has disclosed a number of reserve estimates that are provided by operators that are foreign issuers and are not based on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s definitions for proven and probable reserves. For Canadian issuers, definitions of “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reverse,” and “probable mineral reserve” conform to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions of these terms as of the effective date of estimation as required by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. For Australian issuers, definitions of “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve,” and “probable mineral reserve” conform with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia, as amended (“JORC Code”). Royal Gold does not reconcile the reserve estimates provided by the operators with definitions of reserves used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The reserves and resources reported are either estimates received from the various operators or are based on information provided to Royal Gold or are derived from publicly available information from the operators of the various properties including National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code reports filed by operators. Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the reserve and resource estimates prepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with definitions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Mineral resources are tabulated in addition to (exclusive of) mineral reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. “Contained ounces” or “contained pounds” do not take into account recovery losses in mining and processing.

161 Reference Materials Definitions/Glossary Term Definition Activated carbon A material produced from carbon-rich sources that offers a porous surface structure, which creates a vast surface area on which to adsorb materials. This porous structure, in combination with attraction forces, allows activated carbon to capture material components and hold on to them for later recovery. In the gold beneficiation process, activated carbon is a vital tool, used to separate gold that has been dissolved in a cyanide solution, so that it can be recovered. Active income Income generated from business activities. Alluvium (related to Alluvial) A deposit of clay, silt, sand, and gravel left by flowing streams in a river valley or delta, typically producing fertile soil. Autoclave Pressure vessel used in the hydrometallurgical pressure oxidation circuit. Backfilling The process of refilling an excavated hole.

Block cave An underground mining method that involves undermining the orebody to make it collapse under its own weight into a series of chambers from which the ore is extracted. Brownfield Areas with existing mining operations or historical mining activities. By-product A secondary metal or mineral product recovered from ores. The determination of a primary metal versus a secondary metal is often decided based on economic value. Carbon adsorption Activated carbon adsorbs gold from cyanide solution. Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) An orebody of metallic minerals (polymetallic) formed by the replacement of sedimentary, usually carbonate rock, by metal-bearing solutions in the vicinity of igneous intrusions. Carbon-in-column (CIC) An extraction technique that involves the gold cyanide solution flowing through a series of fluidized bed columns in an up-flow configuration.

Copper cathode Copper metal (usually in a sheet form) electrowon from a copper rich leach solution. LME Grade A copper has a minimum purity of 99.95%. Crushing-agglomerating circuit An ore processing technique used to prepare run-of-mine ore for placing on a heap leach pad. Ore is crushed and agglomerated with cement into uniformly sized particles, making it easier for the leaching solution to travel through the channels between particles to help maximize recovery. Cut-and-fill A stoping method in which the ore is excavated by successive flat or inclined slices, working upward from the level, as in shrinkage stoping. However, after each slice is blasted down, all broken ore is removed, and the stope is filled with waste up to within a few feet of the back before the next slice is taken out, just enough room being left between the top of the waste pile and the back of the stope to provide a free face for the blast.
