MINERALIZATION STYLE High-Sulfidation Epithermal Au ROYALTY 2.0% NSR (all metals) YEAR OF ACQUISITION 2025 TERM OF ROYALTY Life of Mine EXPECTED STARTUP DATE Detail not publicly disclosed by operator. EXPECTED MINE LIFE 10 years (1) Development Update Engineering studies and site preparation activities continue as SSR mining advances the Hod Maden Project through to a construction decision, which SSR Mining expects in 2026. PROJECT OUTLOOK A FS on the Hod Maden Project was released in 2026 which considered an underground mine with a processing rate of 800,000 tpa. The FS outlined a mine life of 10 years with average annual production of 159,000 ounces of gold per year at an average grade of 7.6 g/t Au and 21 million pounds of copper per year at an average grade of 1.3%. The average recovery is expected to be 87% for gold and 97% for copper. Capital costs are estimated at approximately $910 million. (1) The regional land package is relatively underexplored, offering significant exploration potential across the property, including numerous untested soil geochemistry targets and a geological setting conducive to further exploration targeting through geophysical surveying. Royal Gold’s Royalty Interest Royal Gold owns a 30% non-operating joint venture interest in the Hod Maden Project. Royal Gold is required to fund its 30% share of project costs. Additionally, Royal Gold owns a 2.0% NSR royalty on all metals produced from areas subject to our royalty interest at the Hod Maden Project.
