GEO) production is estimated by multiplying the number of net metal or commodity units of which we take delivery, multiplied by the following standard set of commodity prices and divided by the stated gold price, with the same metal prices used for each year for comparative purposes: $1,758/oz Au; $20.54/oz Ag; $6,185.82/t Cu; $1,826.14/lb Pb; $2,268.85/t Zn; $13,672/t Ni; $25,992/t Mo; $31,161/t Co (see page 136 for complete definition). 3.

Mine site emissions estimates were compiled by Skarn Associates, and we have relied on its database for emissions presented for gold and copper mining operations. 5. Royal Gold’s attributed emissions = Site emissions x Royal Gold % of site production. 6. Emissions intensity for mineral properties that were not included in the Skarn Associates database have been assumed to be equal to the average of the portfolio. 7. Prior year production adjustments occurred in 2023, resulting in negative production. 8. Industry quartile ranking is based both on Skarn Associates’ emissions intensity curve for gold production (tCO 2 e/oz Au) and the emissions intensity curve for copper production (CO 2 e/t Cu). Operations are benchmarked against the gold production intensity curve unless otherwise indicated with the designation “(Cu)” indicating the ranking is based on the copper emissions intensity curve. 9. Scope 2 emissions are Market Based.
