Operator Commitment to Climate Change Our climate resilience is closely linked to the performance of the Operator and how they address climate change at their operations. We observe that 90% of our 2025 revenue was generated from assets where the operating company has initiated climate disclosure with reference to the TCFD framework. We look at the statistic as indicating a high degree of climate risk awareness. 60% of 2025 revenue is associated with operating companies that have set emissions reduction targets to be achieved by 2030 or sooner, and 52% of our revenue is associated with companies that have made formal commitments toward achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Teck Resources, Barrick and Newmont continuously update their comprehensive actions and plans to reduce emissions at the operations they manage. These three Operators generated about 36% of our revenue in 2024, while their operations generated about 57% of the scope 1 and scope 2 emissions attributed to our stream and royalty interests. These same operators have completed the most impactful emission reduction projects or have disclosed plans for reduction projects prior to 2030.
