funded generave alliances. We remain commied to prospect generaon and the organic creaon of
royales at lile or no cost to the Company. Several of our exploraon partners plan to advance projects
in Nevada this year, and the royales generated from these assets potenally represent significant value
creators for the Company. The Ermitaño gold-silver mine and the Expanded Silicon gold project, targets
generated by Orogen’s exploraon teams, were once at this stage of exploraon.”

project,1 located in western Nevada. Exploraon acvies include a 7,000 metre drill program
targeng the expansion of the high-grade Disco discovery. Addional work on Spring Peak will
include drilling on new exploraon targets across the property, environmental baseline studies,
geophysical surveys, and geological mapping. The esmated 25-hole drill program is expected to
start in early summer 2024. Headwater is earning a 100% interest in the Spring Peak project from
the Company and is subject to cash payments and up to a 1% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty
interest retained by Orogen.

on the Cuprite Gold project comprising seven to ten holes.2 Cuprite is located 15 kilometres from
Goldfield, Nevada, and 75 kilometres northwest from AngloGold Ashan’s major discovery at the
Expanded Silicon gold project. Cuprite was generated from the exploraon alliance between
Orogen and Alus Minerals Corporaon (TSX:ALS) (“Alus”) using similar analyses and techniques
that idenfied the Silicon exploraon target in 2014. Orogen and Alus each hold a 1.5% NSR
royalty interest on the Cuprite project.
•Ivy Minerals Inc. (Private) (“Ivy”) is planning a 1,200 metre drill program on the Ghost Ranch gold
project, located 30 kilometres southeast of Nevada Gold Mines’ Long Canyon open pit mine. Ivy
followed up a 1,236 metre drill program in 2022 with an audio frequency magnetotellurics
(“AMT”) survey and idenfied addional targets to the east. The drill program is expected to start
in the spring of 2024. Ivy can earn a 51% interest in the Ghost Ranch project subject to US$1.5

budget has been allocated for 2024 with the focus on the collecon of high-resoluon spectral
data to aid in the idenficaon of untested prospecve high-level steam-cap systems that may
indicate gold mineralizaon at depth. Addionally, up to US$195,000 has been allocated for the
exploraon of high-level expressions of copper porphyry systems in geological domains of
Mesozoic-age in western Nevada.
