Expected Performance and Outlook Notable Portfolio Changes in 2025 Our portfolio can change organically as changes occur at the properties where we have interests. These may be a result of developments including exploration or expansion investments made by our operating counterparties, changes in ownership of properties, or the evolution of mine plans. This section summarizes notable changes at properties within the portfolio, and new properties added to the portfolio, since the previous version of our Asset Handbook was published in April 2025. We are not considering properties that were acquired as part of the Sandstorm Gold and Horizon Copper acquisitions as “new additions” for the purpose of this section.
