Exposure to Important Mining Regions As Royal Gold has built its asset portfolio over time, it has established significant exposure to key mining regions. While Royal Gold does not have an explicit strategy to target specific mining regions, certain mining regions have consistently demonstrated characteristics that Royal Gold favors, such as a rich mineral endowment, a stable regulatory environment and an established pool of mining talent. This section highlights Royal Gold’s exposure to key mining regions in North America, South America and Australia. ò Producing ò Development ò Evaluation ò Exploration ABITIBI GREENSTONE BELT (THE “ABITIBI”) (CANADA) The Abitibi mining region is one of the most important mineral districts in the world, and mining began in the early 1900’s. The district was considered to be mature, but recently the region has been revived with the development of several large and world-class mines and projects. The Abitibi by the Numbers: • The Abitibi stretches roughly 700 kilometers from Wawa, Ontario to Val-d’Or, Quebec, within the Canadian Shield. • Over 20 gold deposits with more than three million ounces in each deposit have been discovered, and historical estimates indicate up to 60 deposits have been discovered with more than one million ounces. • Total gold content of the belt, including historical production, reserves, and measured and indicated resources, exceeds 300 million ounces. Royal Gold in the Abitibi by the Numbers: • Royal Gold has interests in over 20 properties in the Abitibi region, with 7 producing assets, 5 development assets and several earlier-stage projects. • The new Cote Gold mine operated by IAMGOLD Corporation contributed over $8.5 million in revenue in 2025, which was the first full year of operation since production began in late 2024. 14 Royal Gold | 2025/2026 Asset Handbook INTRODUCTION ATTRIBUTES OF OUR BUSINESS PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW EXPECTED PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK PORTFOLIO DETAILS REFERENCE MATERIALS
