Principal Properties Sustainability Scorecard Metrics Term/Abbreviation Definition RepRisk ESG reputational risk rating - country A metric that is a proprietary algorithm that dynamically captures and quantifies the reputational exposure to ESG risks and independently assesses the ESG reputational risk associated with a country, as defined by RepRisk. RepRisk ESG reputational risk rating - company A metric that is a proprietary algorithm that dynamically captures and quantifies the reputational exposure to ESG risks and independently assesses the ESG reputational risk associated with a company, as defined by RepRisk. Typically the assessment is done for the local operating entity. Corporate emission reduction target A metric that defines if an Operator has made commitment(s) to reduce total GHG emissions by 2030; these commitments may not be directly applicable to the property where we have our stream or royalty interests but refers to corporate commitments. GHG emission intensity (tCO 2 e/GEO) quartile ranking A measure of the GHG emissions intensity from an operation for each GEO produced. The quartile position is based on Skarn Associates’ GHG emissions intensity curve for the gold mining industry for 2023. Total energy intensity (GJ/GEO) quartile ranking A measure of both the direct and indirect energy consumed for each GEO produced. The quartile position is based on Skarn Associates’ energy intensity curve for the gold mining industry for 2023. Energy emissions factor An estimate of the average amount of CO 2 e generated (scope 1 and 2) for every terra joule of energy consumed in the mine site production process; a reduction in the factor can indicate switching from higher-emission fuels to lower-emission fuels and/or an increase in the amount of electrical energy generated from renewable sources. Water stress rating by Aqueduct™ Water Risk Atlas A measure of the ratio of total water withdrawals to available renewable surface and groundwater supplies. Water withdrawals include domestic, industrial, irrigation and livestock consumptive and non-consumptive uses. Available renewable water supplies include the impact of upstream consumptive water users and large dams on downstream water availability. Higher values indicate more competition among users. Water consumption intensity (m3/ GEO) quartile ranking A measure of the water consumed per GEO produced. The quartile position is based on Skarn Associates’ water intensity curve for the gold mining industry for 2023. Water consumption intensity (m 3 /t ore processed) quartile ranking A measure of the water consumed per tonne of ore processed. The quartile position is based on Skarn Associates’ water intensity curve for the gold mining industry for 2023. IUNC Red List species (critically endangered and endangered located in the project area) A metric that indicates the number of species classified as Critically Endangered or Endangered within a 10-km radius of the operation’s ore processing facility. Designated protected areas or KBAs covering all or part of the project area Identifies any area formally designated as a protected area by the country or international organization or the designation as covering a KBA, which is a geographical region that has been determined to be of international importance in terms of biodiversity conservation. The designation assumes a 10-km radius from the operation’s processing plant. TRIFR industry quartile ranking based on ICMM data Metric that measures the number of fatalities, lost-time injuries, substitute work and other injuries requiring treatment by a medical professional per million hours worked; compares the specific site to the 2023 industry average TRIFR as published by the ICMM. Tailing management disclosure Metric that confirms that an Operator has made publicly disclosed regarding their tailing management practices. Human Rights Policy Indicates that the company has a disclosed policy on human rights or provides enough information in other disclosures that have clear statements on human rights. Community Investment (US millions) Reports the amount of community donations disclosed by the mine operator with respect to the specific operation, unless otherwise noted.
