Offsetting Our Corporate Emissions Since 2020, we have acquired verified carbon credits to offset scope 2 and 3 corporate emissions that we otherwise have been unable to eliminate, thus achieving carbon neutrality for our corporate operations. We are committed to achieving carbon neutrality for our corporate operations, annually. In 2020 and 2021, we purchased verified carbon credits generated from the Manantiales Behr Wind Power Plant in Argentina from Mercuria Energy, a global energy and commodity trader. To offset our 2024 scope 2 and 3 corporate emissions, we purchased verified carbon credits through Anew Climate, LLC, a leading climate solutions company that offers environmentally focused products, services and investments that support decarbonization, including the sale of verified carbon credits. Our 2022 carbon offsets were sourced from the Blue Ridge Escarpment Forest Management Carbon Removal Project in South Carolina, U.S. For the past two years, Royal Gold sourced carbon credits from the GreenTrees Reforestation Project in Arkansas, U.S. GreenTrees Reforestation Project GreenTrees is reforesting one million acres of marginal farmland in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. To date, GreenTrees has planted more than 42 million trees on 120,000 acres in partnership with private landowners. The tree plantings have generated millions of tons of verified carbon credits that are registered on the American Carbon Registry (ACR). These credits account for the vast majority of domestic forestry credits registered on the voluntary market. In recognition of its vision in building toward a 1,000,000-acre goal, the ACR awarded GreenTrees the Innovation Award in April of 2018. GreenTrees has delivered and/or retired millions of tonnes of carbon offsets to corporations and municipalities, including Duke Energy, Norfolk Southern and the Arbor Day Foundation. Technology and mechanism Reforestation: Replanting trees in a previously forested area Mechanism: Removal Durability: 40+ years. The durability of this project is 40 years, based on its crediting period. However, the project is designed to have incentives to keep project lands permanently in forest.
