invest in opportunities that present themselves in the current market environment and is actively
reviewing new opportunities.
In addition, we are actively working with other capital providers within the global metals and mining

Notes:
(1) GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver
earned from r oyalty and stream agreements was converted to gold equivalent ounces by
multiplying the silver ounces by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the
average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties were converted
into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price for
the period. Offtake agreements were converted using the financial settlement equivalent
divided by the average gold price for the period.
