STREAM AND ROYALTY ACQUISITIONS STREAM AND ROYALTY ACQUISITIONS
Warintza Project Stream and Royalty
On May 21, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, RGLD Gold AG ("RG AG"), entered into a gold purchase agreement ("Gold Stream Agreement"), and a separate net smelter return ("NSR") royalty agreement ("Royalty Agreement") for all metals with wholly owned subsidiaries of Solaris Resources, Inc. (collectively, "Solaris") for metals produced from the Warintza Project ("Warintza"). The advance payment for the acquisition totals $200 million in cash consideration, including $100 million paid upon closing, $50 million payable after technical approval of the environmental impact assessment and publication of a pre-feasibility study, which are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025, and $50 million payable one year after closing, subject to security perfection in Ecuador. The $100 million cash consideration paid at closing was funded with available cash on hand.
Gold Stream Agreement
Deliveries under the Gold Stream Agreement will be in an amount equal to 20 ounces of gold per million pounds of recovered copper in return for a cash payment for each ounce delivered of 20% of the spot gold price until the delivery of 90,000 ounces, and 60% of the spot gold price thereafter. The Gold Stream Agreement may be subject to early termination with the full return of the advance payment at the option of RG AG or Solaris if a change of control of Solaris or Warintza occurs, or by RG AG if deliveries have not begun by May 21, 2033. The area of interest for the Gold Stream Agreement
covers approximately 31 square kilometers, and will expand to 186 square kilometers if the early termination provisions have not been exercised and the first delivery has not been received by May 21, 2033.
Royalty Agreement
RG AG received a 0.30% NSR royalty for all metals produced from an area of interest of approximately 186 square kilometers. The NSR rate will increase by 0.0375% per year until the earlier to occur of the first delivery under the Gold Stream Agreement or May 21, 2033, to a maximum of 0.60% NSR. If the Gold Stream Agreement is subject to early termination, the NSR rate will be the rate in place at the time of exercise if the early termination is exercised by RG AG, or 0.60% if the early termination is exercised by Solaris.
The Royalty Agreement and the Stream Agreement have been accounted for as asset acquisitions and are recorded as exploration stage royalty and stream interests (Note 3) within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets.
Lawyers-Ranch Project Royalty
On May 16, 2025, we acquired a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Ranch portion of the Lawyers-Ranch Project operated by Thesis Gold Inc. from a private seller for cash consideration of $12.5 million. The royalty has been accounted for as an asset acquisition and recorded as an exploration stage royalty interest (Note 3) within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets. The purchase price was funded with available cash on hand.
Additional Xavantina Stream
On March 28, 2025, RG AG entered into an additional precious metals purchase agreement (“Additional Stream”) with Ero Gold Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ero Copper Corporation, and certain of its affiliates for gold produced from the Xavantina mine for an advance payment of $50 million. The Additional Stream is incremental to the existing precious metals purchase agreement between the parties dated June 29, 2021 (“Base Stream”), and significantly extends the area of interest.
As of June 30, 2025, 48,400 ounces of gold have been delivered under the Base Stream at a cash purchase price of 20% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered, which will increase to 40% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered upon the delivery of 49,000 ounces. When considered with the Base Stream, the Additional Stream effectively increases the threshold for stream deliveries at the current 25% stream rate from 93,000 ounces to 160,000 ounces, with the additional deliveries to be payable at a cash price of 40% of the spot gold price.
The Additional Stream has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The $50 million advance payment, plus direct acquisition costs, have been recorded as an exploration stage stream interest (Note 3) within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets. The purchase price was funded with available cash on hand.
