Improving Reliable, Year-Long Learning with the Boys & Girls Club Royal Gold partnered with two facilities operated by the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows in Nevada, U.S. in 2024. The Boys & Girls Club is a registered charitable organization that serves nearly 14,000 youth in more than 50 locations across Nevada, specifically the communities of Reno, Sparks, Fernley, Ely, Tonopah, Panaca and Winnemucca. The Truckee Meadows division has been providing quality out-of-school time services in Northern Nevada for more than 47 years. Both of the branches that Royal Gold supported in 2024 aimed to address the childcare challenge in Nevada by establishing reliable, year-round childcare services. By offering accessible and high- quality childcare, both initiatives helped support parents in maintaining employment, thereby strengthening the local workforce. Beyond the immediate benefits for individual families, the reduction of this significant obstacle has far-reaching economic implications and fosters a more sustainable and flourishing local economy. SDG 2 Zero Hunger: Free meals and basic supplies are provided to all those who need these resources. SDG 4 Quality Education: Centers offer daily after-school homework help and tutoring as well as money management classes, college and career preparation, computer classes, science camps and reading clubs. “Royal Gold’s donation to two of our Boys & Girls Club locations has not only helped extend childcare hours for working families but also contributed to the construction of a commercial kitchen that provides nourishing meals for children. This contribution is an investment that aims to build stronger and more sustainable communities.” Nathan Green Executive Director, Boys & Girls Club of Winnemucca KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD., ROBINSON MINE In early 2024, Royal Gold provided funding to the Truckee Meadows Early Learning Center in White Pine County. This center primarily serves the community of Ely, which is near KGHM International Ltd’s (KGHM) Robinson Mine. KGHM also made a significant contribution to the branch in 2022. Royal Gold acquired a royalty at the Robinson Mine in 2005. Royal Gold’s funding specifically supported the remodeling of an existing modular building. The remodel involved the creation of a training area for staff. Some of the funds were also used to help establish a commercial kitchen to prepare meals for children at the center. NEVADA GOLD MINES, CORTEZ Royal Gold provided funding to the NGM Early Learning Center in Winnemucca. This center primarily serves the community of Winnemucca, which is located near NGM’s operations. Royal Gold owns various royalty interests across the Cortez Complex, specifically the Cortez Mine and Turquoise Ridge Mine, which are closest to the community. The center continuously aims to enhance the accessibility of high-quality childcare and has offered extended hours at the NGM Learning Center. The goal of the extended hours is to ensure that families, particular those with members employed in the mining industry, have access to reliable childcare that aligns with their demanding and non-standard work schedules.
