Triple Flag Increases 2026 GEOs Guidance
and Announces Steppe Gold Agreement
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2026--Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (with its
subsidiaries, “Triple Flag” or the “Company”) (TSX: TFPM, NYSE: TFPM) announces that its
wholly owned subsidiary, Triple Flag International Ltd., has entered into a settlement agreement
with Steppe Gold Ltd. and its related entities (“Steppe”) pursuant to which, Steppe has delivered
to Triple Flag all gold and silver stream obligations in arrears under its stream agreement and has
delivered all gold prepay ounces in arrears. Additionally, the settlement agreement provides that
the Steppe Gold Stream Agreement has been amended to provide for fixed cumulative deliveries
totaling 34,770 ounces of gold over the ten-year period starting in Q3 2026 and ending in Q4
2036, following which Triple Flag will be entitled to gold deliveries equal to 1.5% of the prior
quarter’s gold production from the ATO mine, subject to a 500 gold ounce quarterly cap. Unless
otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in US dollars.
“We are pleased to announce a settlement agreement with Steppe, in which Triple Flag has
received all obligations in arrears. Looking ahead, we have secured fixed gold deliveries over
the next ten years from Steppe that are guaranteed, as well as long-term exposure to gold
production from the ATO mine,” commented Sheldon Vanderkooy, CEO of Triple Flag.
“Triple Flag’s portfolio achieved strong operating performance year-to-date, including record
GEOs and operating cash flow per share in the first quarter. With the receipt of gold and silver
deliveries on settlement of the dispute with Steppe, as well as the fixed gold deliveries to be
received in the second half of the year, we are increasing our 2026 GEOs guidance to 100,000 to
110,000 GEOsi from 95,000 to 105,000 GEOs.
I congratulate and thank the Steppe team for their achievements with ATO, success with their
Boroo and Ulaanbulag operating mines, and support for a path forward on our partnership.”

Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, respectively (collectively referred to
herein as “forward-looking information”). Forward-looking information may be identified by the
use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects”, “is expected”,
“budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “outlook”, “forecasts”, “projection”, “prospects”, “strategy”,
“intends”, “anticipates”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or terminology
which states that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”,
“will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information in this news release
include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the expected timing and completion of
the deliveries of gold and silver under the settlement agreement and amended and restated stream
agreement; planned developments or expansions in respect of the ATO mine; the timing,
completion and substance of any studies or reports in respect of the ATO mine; and statements
with respect to the Company’s guidance and expected GEOs for 2026. In addition, any
statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future
events or circumstances, including information in this news release regarding the Stream and the
anticipated benefits therefrom, contain forward-looking information. Statements containing
forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s
expectations, estimates and projections regarding possible future events or circumstances.
The forward-looking information included in this news release is based on our opinions,
estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe
are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. The forward-looking information contained
in this news release is also based upon a number of assumptions, including the ongoing operation
of the properties in which we hold a stream or royalty interest by the owners or operators of such
properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and
disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; and the accuracy of
publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in
production. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following: assumptions in
respect of current and future market conditions and the execution of our business strategies; that
operations, or ramp-up where applicable, at properties in which we hold a royalty, stream or
other interest continue without further interruption through the period; and the absence of any
other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated,
estimated, intended or implied. Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-
looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and
assumptions will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is also subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity,
performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not
limited to, those set forth under the caption “Risk and Risk Management” in our management’s
discussion and analysis in respect of the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 and the caption
“Risk Factors” in our most recently filed annual information form, each of which is available on
SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. In addition, we note that
mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and
inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative for the application of economic
considerations.
Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results or
future events to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information, there
may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material
that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in
such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to
be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained
in this news release represents our expectations as of the date of this news release and is subject
to change after such date. We disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or
revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking
information contained in this news release is expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary
statements.
Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors

in accordance with requirements and standards under Canadian securities laws, which differ
from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under subpart
1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”). Because the Company is eligible for the
Multijurisdictional Disclosure System adopted by the SEC and Canadian Securities
Administrators, Triple Flag is not required to present disclosure regarding its mineral properties

may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to
reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
Technical and Third-Party Information
Triple Flag does not own, develop or mine the underlying properties on which it holds stream or
royalty interests. As a royalty or stream holder, Triple Flag has limited, if any, access to
properties included in its asset portfolio. As a result, Triple Flag is dependent on the owners or
operators of the properties and their qualified persons to provide information to Triple Flag and
on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on
the properties on which Triple Flag holds stream, royalty or other similar interests. Triple Flag
generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although Triple
Flag does not believe that such information is inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect,
there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate.
