i. |
As the Company’s operations are primarily focused on precious metals, the Company presents attributable gold equivalent ounces as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other mining companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. Attributable gold equivalent ounces is a non-IFRS financial ratio that uses total sales, royalties, and income from other interests as a component. Total sales, royalties and income from other interests is a non-IFRS financial measure and is calculated by taking total revenue which includes sales and royalty revenue, and adding contractual income relating to royalties, streams, and other interests excluding gains and losses on dispositions. Attributable gold equivalent ounces is calculated by dividing the Company’s total sales, royalties, and income from other interests, less revenue attributable to non-controlling shareholders for the period, by the average realized gold price per ounce from the Company’s gold streams for the same respective period ([$51.4 million – $1.1 million]/$3,331 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and [$41.4 million – $1.1 million]/$2,313 for the comparable period in 2024) and may be subject to change. |

The Company presents cash operating margin as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow in comparison to other companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost per attributable gold equivalent ounce from the average realized gold price per ounce from the Company’s gold streams (see item i above) for the same respective period. Average cash cost per attributable gold equivalent ounce is calculated by dividing the Company’s cost of sales, excluding depletion, by the number of attributable gold equivalent ounces ($5.3 million/15,100 attributable gold equivalent ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $4.7 million/17,414 attributable gold equivalent ounces for the comparable period in 2024). |
