Royal Gold has disclosed a number of reserve estimates that are provided by operators that are foreign issuers and are not based on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s definitions for proven and probable reserves. For Canadian issuers, definitions of “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve,” and “probable mineral reserve” conform to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions of these terms as of the effective date of estimation as required by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. For Australian issuers, definitions of “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve,” and “probable mineral reserve” conform with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia, as amended (“JORC Code”). Royal Gold does not reconcile the reserve estimates provided by the operators with definitions of reserves used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The reserves and resources reported are either estimates received from the various operators or are based on information provided to Royal Gold or are derived from publicly available information from the operators of the various properties including National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code reports filed by operators. Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the reserve and resource estimates prepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with definitions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Mineral resources and reserves tabulated are the portion of the mineral resources and reserves to which Royal Gold’s stream or royalty interest applies. Metallurgical recoveries are not included in the calculation of contained metals as these can be variable within a deposit depending on material type and process path. Recoveries are generally unknown for projects with resources that do not have processing methods identified. Mineral resources are tabulated in addition to (exclusive of) mineral reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. “Contained ounces” or “contained pounds” do not take into account recovery losses in mining and processing. Property-Specific Footnotes Metal prices are dollars per ounce for gold (Au) and silver (Ag) and dollars per pound for copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and nickel (Ni). GOLD 1.
