Borden mine (0.5% NSR, partial royalty coverage): On May 13, 2025, Discovery Silver Corp. (“Discovery”) disclosed that one of its key priorities for the Porcupine operations is implementing investment plans aimed at growing mining rates, increasing production levels and lowering unit costs at Hoyle Pond and Borden.

Additionally, it noted it will begin separately reporting production from Borden next quarter. For further information see Discovery’s news release dated May 13, 2025, available under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.

Canadian Malartic / Odyssey mine (3.0% NSR, partial royalty coverage): On July 30, 2025 Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”) reported that total development at Odyssey reached a quarterly record of 4,850 metres in the second quarter as it prepared for initial production in the second half of 2026.

Building on continued exploration success at depth and the expansion of the mineral resource at East Gouldie, Agnico Eagle is evaluating opportunities to enhance operational efficiency over the medium to long term. One option it is considering is a 70-metre extension of Shaft #1 to a depth of 1,870 metres. It disclosed that potential optimization could improve operational flexibility and efficiency in the early 2030s, reduce reliance on truck haulage, and further unlock the significant exploration potential at depth. This initiative is being assessed by Agnico Eagle in parallel with its potential development of a second shaft at Odyssey.

On its July 31, 2025 earnings conference call, Agnico Eagle stated that open pit mining activities at the Barnat pit will continue with relatively high variability as operations approach the old workings and as take a conservative approach regarding the pillar that was left around the old workings.

Non-IFRS Measures

We have included, in this document, certain performance measures, including: (i) Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share; (ii) GEOs; (iii) Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest; and (iv) Adjusted EBITDA which are each non-IFRS measures. The presentation of such non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted

Adjusted Net Loss is calculated by adding land agreement proceeds credited against other mineral interests, interest earned on gold-linked loan, accretion of convertible debentures, transaction related and non-recurring general and administrative expenses⁽¹⁾ and share of (gain)/loss in associate and deducting the following from net loss: dilution (gain)/loss in associate, changes in fair value of embedded derivative, short-term investments and gold-linked loan, gain on loan modification, foreign exchange gain and other (income)/expense. Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted, have been determined by dividing the Adjusted Net Loss by the weighted average number of common shares for the applicable period. Management believes that they are useful measures of performance as they adjust for items which are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of our business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The following is a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted Net Loss, Per Share, basic and diluted for the periods indicated:

1. Transaction related, and non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of operating expenses that are not expected to be incurred on an ongoing basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, transaction related and non-recurring general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of professional fees related to ongoing tax reviews.

GEOs

GEOs are determined by dividing Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest by the average gold prices for the applicable period:

Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest

Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest are determined by adding land agreement proceeds credited against other mineral interests and interests received from gold-linked loan. We have included this information as management believes certain investors use this information to evaluate our performance in comparison to other gold royalty companies in the precious metal mining industry.

Below is a reconciliation of our Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest to total revenue for the periods indicated:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding the impact of depletion, depreciation, finance costs, current and deferred tax (recovery) expenses, interest earned on gold-linked loan, transaction related and non-recurring general and administrative expenses⁽²⁾, non-cash share-based compensation, share of (gain)/loss in associate, dilution (gain)/loss in associate, change in fair value of gold-linked loan, short-term investments and embedded derivative, foreign exchange gain, gain on loan modification and other (income)/expense to net loss. We have included this information as management believes certain investors use this information to evaluate our performance in comparison to other gold royalty companies in the precious metal mining industry. The table below provides a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

1. Transaction related and non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of operating expenses that are not expected to be incurred on an ongoing basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, transaction related and non-recurring general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of professional fees related to ongoing tax reviews.
