The decrease in attributable silver production for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily due to the termination of the San Dimas silver purchase agreement and the entering into of the new San Dimas precious metals purchase agreement ("First Majestic PMPA") effective May 10, 2018, the expiry of the streaming agreement relative to the Lagunas Norte, Veladero and Pierina mines on March 31, 2018, and lower production at Peñasquito due to lower throughput and planned lower grades from stockpiles during the commissioning of the now fully constructed Peñasquito Pyrite Leach Project ("PLP").
|
· |
The increase in attributable gold production for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily due to the entering into of the First Majestic PMPA, the acquisition of the new gold stream at Stillwater, partially offset by lower production at both Salobo and Minto.
|
· |
The decrease in silver sales volume for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was due to the lower production levels, partially offset by positive changes in the balance of payable silver produced but not yet delivered to Wheaton.
|
· |
The increase in gold sales volume for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily the result of increased production levels coupled with positive changes in the balance of payable gold produced but not yet delivered to Wheaton.
|
· |
Declared quarterly dividend of $0.09 per common share.
|
· |
On July 25, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. ("Wheaton International"), completed the acquisition from Sibanye Gold Limited ("Sibanye-Stillwater") of a fixed percentage of gold and palladium production from Stillwater effective July 1, 2018.
|
· |
Wheaton's estimated attributable production in 2018 is on track to exceed its guidance of approximately 355,000 ounces of gold, 22.5 million ounces of silver and 10,400 ounces of palladium.
|
· |
On October 24, 2018, Vale S.A. ("Vale") announced the approval of the Salobo III mine expansion, which if completed as proposed, would increase processing throughput capacity from 24 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") to 36 Mtpa once fully ramped up (the "Salobo Expansion").

Represents the increase (decrease) in payable silver, gold and palladium ounces produced but not delivered ("PBND") relative to the various mines that the Company derives precious metal from. Gold, silver and palladium ounces PBND will be recognized in future sales as they are delivered to the Company under the terms of their contracts. PBND to Wheaton is expected to average approximately two months of annualized production for silver and two to three months for gold, but may vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors including mine ramp-up and the timing of shipments.1

|
· |
The decrease in attributable silver production for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to the termination of the San Dimas silver stream effective May 10, 2018, the expiry of the streaming agreement relative to the Lagunas Norte, Veladero, and Pierina mines on March 31, 2018 and lower production at Peñasquito due to lower throughput and planned lower grades from stockpiles during the commissioning of the now fully constructed Peñasquito Pyrite Leach Project ("PLP").
|
· |
The increase in attributable gold production for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to the acquisition of the new gold streams relative to San Dimas and Stillwater, as discussed in the Mineral Stream Interests section of this MD&A, partially offset by lower production at Minto (which has recently been placed into care and maintenance) and Salobo.
|
· |
The decrease in silver sales volume for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was due to the lower production levels, partially offset by positive changes in the balance of payable silver produced but not yet delivered to Wheaton.
|
· |
The increase in gold sales volume for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily the result of the increased production levels, with the nine month period being partially offset by negative changes in the balance of payable gold produced but not yet delivered to Wheaton.
|
· |
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company received its first deliveries of gold and palladium under the recently acquired Stillwater precious metal purchase agreement.
|
· |
On October 24, 2018, Vale S.A. ("Vale") announced the approval of the Salobo III copper project, a brownfield expansion, which if completed as proposed, would increase processing throughput capacity from 24 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") to 36 Mtpa once fully ramped up (the "Salobo Expansion").
|
· |
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company declared dividends in the amount of $40 million. On November 14, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.09 per common share.

|
1,043,000 ounce (100%) decrease related to the silver stream relative to the San Dimas mine, resulting from the termination of the San Dimas SPA effective May 10, 2018, as more fully explained on page 8 of this MD&A;
|
·
|
591,000 ounce (36%) decrease related to the silver stream relative to the Peñasquito mine, which, as per Goldcorp's third quarter of 2018 MD&A, was the result of the planned transition from higher grade ore in the Peñasco pit to lower grade ore from stockpiles during 2018, with production in the third quarter of 2018 being further impacted by a reduction in mill throughput as much harder low-grade stockpiles were processed during commissioning of the CPP, a component of the PLP; and
|
·
|
267,000 ounce (15%) decrease related to the silver stream relative to the Antamina mine, which was expected and is primarily due to the mining of lower grade material as a result of mine sequencing in the open pit, partially offset by higher thoughput.
|
·
|
10,600 ounce increase related to the recently acquired gold stream relative to the San Dimas mine, as more fully explained on page 8 of this MD&A; and
|
·
|
6,400 ounce increase related to the recently acquired gold stream relative to the Stillwater mine, with the contract providing for the delivery of gold sold to an offtaker as of July 1, 2018, resulting in reported production for the third quarter including some material processed in the previous quarter, as more fully explained on page 9 of this MD&A ; partially offset by
|
·
|
4,500 ounce (41%) decrease related to gold production at the Other mines which was primarily due to lower throughput and grades at the Minto mine; and
|
·
|
2,600 ounce (30%) decrease related to the Sudbury mines which was primarily due to lower throughput.
|
·
|
$9 million decrease related to a combined decrease in payable production; and
|
·
|
$12 million decrease related to the composition of mines from which payable production is received, primarily due to the termination of the silver stream relative to San Dimas which was originally acquired in 2004, as the newer assets which replace this stream have depletion rates which are more reflective of the current commodity price environment.
|
·
|
$8 million increase as a result of the timing of shipments of stockpiled concentrate and doré.
|
·
|
$12 million decrease due to a reduction in the operating margin per ounce, primarily due to a 12% and 6% decrease in the price realized per ounce of silver and gold sold, respectively; and
|
·
|
$5 million decrease as a result of an increase in Interest Costs as explained on page 25 of this MD&A.

· |
822,000 ounce (16%) decrease related to the silver stream relative to the Antamina mine, which was expected and is primarily due to the mining of lower grade material as a result of mine sequencing in the open pit;
|
· |
697,000 ounce (16%) decrease related to the silver stream relative to the Peñasquito mine which, as per Goldcorp's third quarter of 2018 MD&A, was the result of the planned transition from higher grade ore in the Peñasco pit to lower grade ore from stockpiles during 2018, with production in the third quarter of 2018 being further impacted by a reduction in mill throughput as much harder low-grade stockpiles were processed during commissioning of the CPP;
|
· |
485,000 ounce (6%) decrease related to silver production at the Other mines, due primarily to the expiry of the streaming agreement relative to the Cozamin mine on April 4, 2017 and the expiry of the streaming agreement relative to the Lagunas Norte, Veladero, and Pierina mines on March 31, 2018, partially offset by the start-up of attributable production at the Aljustrel mine; and
|
· |
425,000 ounce (16%) decrease related to the previously owned silver stream relative to the San Dimas mine resulting from the termination of the San Dimas SPA effective May 10, 2018, as more fully explained on page 8 of this MD&A; partially offset by

|
·
|
9,200 ounce (37%) decrease related to the Sudbury mines, primarily due to lower throughput. According to Vale's second quarter of 2018 MD&A, the Coleman mine was in a maintenance shutdown from November 2017 to April 2018.

In October 2015, in order to incentivize additional exploration and potentially extend the limited remaining mine life of Stratoni, Wheaton and Eldorado Gold agreed to modify the Stratoni silver purchase agreement. The primary modification is to increase the production price per ounce of silver delivered to Wheaton over the current fixed price by one of the following amounts: (i) $2.50 per ounce of silver delivered if 10,000 meters of drilling is completed outside of the existing ore body and within Wheaton's defined area of interest ("Expansion Drilling"); (ii) $5.00 per ounce of silver delivered if 20,000 meters of Expansion Drilling is completed; and (iii) $7.00 per ounce of silver delivered if 30,000 meters of Expansion Drilling is completed. Drilling in all three cases must be completed by December 31, 2020, in order for the agreed upon increase in production price to be initiated. The figures in the above table reflect the fact that Eldorado completed 10,000 meters of Expansion Drilling in July 2018.
|
14) |
Wheaton only has the rights to silver contained in concentrate containing less than 15% copper at the Aljustrel mine.
|
15) |
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company agreed to amend the PMPA with Almina to increase the production payments to 50% of the amount received under the respective concentrate sales contracts and to fix silver payable rates for a period of two years and limit rate decreases thereafter.
|
16) |
The Company is committed to acquire 100% of the first 30,000 ounces of gold produced per annum and 50% thereafter. The Minto mine was placed into care and maintenance in October 2018.
|
17) |
The production payment per ounce of gold delivered to Wheaton is to be increased over the current fixed price in periods where the market price of copper is lower than $2.50 per pound.
|
18) |
The production payment related to the Keno Hill silver interest is a function of the silver head grade and silver spot price in the month in which the silver is produced.
|
19) |
Terms of the agreement not yet finalized.
|
20) |
Once 90 million silver equivalent ounces attributable to Wheaton have been produced, the attributable production to be purchased will decrease to 66.67% of silver production and 16.67% of gold production for the life of mine.
|
21) |
Once 51,000 ounces of gold and 5.6 million ounces of silver have been delivered to Wheaton, the stream will decrease to 66.67% of silver and gold production for the life of mine.
|
22) |
The Company is committed to pay Kutcho 20% of the spot price of silver and gold for each ounce of silver and gold delivered under the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement.

|
N/A
|
N/A
|
1) |
For the taxation years ended after December 31, 2010, the Company files its Canadian tax returns in US dollars. However, taxes payable, if any, are payable in Canadian dollars based on the exchange rate applicable on the original payment due date. As a result, the US dollar amounts reflected in the table above are subject to fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar. Canadian dollar amounts in this table have been converted to US dollars at the exchange rate applicable at the balance sheet date as quoted by the Bank of Canada.
|
2) |
For the 2005-2010 taxation years, transfer pricing penalties of $55 million (Cdn$72 million) and interest and other penalties of $62 million (Cdn$81 million) were also assessed by the CRA. The total reassessment issued on September 24, 2015 was $273 million (Cdn$353 million). Additional interest accruing to December 31, 2017 on the total amount reassessed is estimated at $34 million (Cdn$45 million) for the 2005-2010 taxation years.
|
3) |
As a consequence of the CRA's reassessment of the 2005-2010 taxation years and the 2013 Domestic Reassessment, CRA reassessed the 2011 and 2012 taxation years to amend the non-capital losses available to offset the taxable income of $12 million and $14 million, respectively. As a result of the 2013 Domestic Reassessment, additional tax, interest, and penalties of about $1.7 million (Cdn$2.2 million) was owing for the 2011 and 2012 taxation years. On October 18, 2018, the Company filed Notices of Objection with respect to these reassessments and accordingly, paid 50% of the additional amounts owing. These reassessments do not relate to the CRA international audit of the 2011-2015 taxation years.
|
4) |
Estimates of interest given as of the date stated. Interest accrues until payment date.
|
5) |
The estimates of income inclusion and tax payable are computed on the basis that the cost of precious metal acquired under the PMPAs is equal to the cash cost plus an amortized amount of the up-front payment and without taking into account any available Canadian non-capital losses.
|
6) |
If CRA were to reassess the 2011-2015 taxation years and continue to apply transfer pricing penalties, management estimates that transfer pricing penalties of approximately $187 million and interest (calculated to December 31, 2017) and other penalties of approximately $112 million (Cdn$145 million) may be applicable for the 2011-2015 taxation years.
|
7) |
If CRA were to reassess the 2016-2017 taxation years and continue to apply transfer pricing penalties, management estimates that transfer pricing penalties of approximately $58 million and interest (calculated to December 31, 2017) and other penalties of approximately $9 million (Cdn$12 million) may be applicable for the 2016-2017 taxation years.
|
8) |
If the cost of precious metal acquired under the PMPAs is equal to the market value of precious metal while the deposit is outstanding (where applicable to an agreement), and the cash cost thereafter, the estimated amounts for the 2011 – 2015 taxation years would be as follows: (i) income inclusion of $1.6 billion; (ii) tax payable of $336 million (Cdn$435 million); (iii) transfer pricing penalties (if applied) of $161 million; and (iv) interest and other penalties of $95 million (Cdn$123 million). On this basis, the estimated amounts for the 2016 – 2017 taxation years would be as follows: (i) income inclusion of $260 million; (ii) tax payable of $69 million (Cdn$89 million); (iii) transfer pricing penalties (if applied) of $26 million; and (iv) interest and other penalties of $4 million (Cdn$6 million).

IFRS 16 – Leases: In January 2016, the IASB and the FASB completed its joint project to address concerns by users of financial statements in respect of reduced comparability between financial statements due to the different accounting treatment applied to operating leases as compared to finance leases by removing the distinction between operating leases and finance leases and rather having all leases accounted for as a finance lease, subject to limited exceptions for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and anticipates that upon adoption of this standard, its leases will be capitalized under the classification Right-of-Use Assets, with a corresponding liability for Leases Payable. The total amount to be capitalized is estimated to be $3 million. The Company also expects a reduction in operating cash outflows of approximately $1 million per annum upon the adoption of IFRS 16, with a corresponding increase in financing cash outflows. Lastly, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
|
· |
IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments: In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 which is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRIC 23 provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The extent of the impact of the adoption of IFRIC 23 has not yet been determined.
|
i. |
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are calculated by removing the effects of the non-cash impairment charges, non-cash fair value (gains) losses, non-cash share of losses of associates and other one-time (income) expenses. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance.

|
a. |
Peñasquito - Goldcorp annual information form filed on March 23, 2018;
|
b. |
Antamina – Glencore's December 31, 2017 Resources and Reserves report (http://www.glencore.com/investors/reports-results/reserves-and-resources); and
|
c. |
Constancia – Hudbay's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed on March 29, 2018.
|
11. |
The Company's attributable Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for the Lagunas Norte, Veladero, and Antamina silver interests, Sudbury gold interests and Voisey's Bay cobalt interests, have been constrained to the production expected for the various contracts.
|
12. |
The Antamina silver purchase agreement in respect to the Antamina mine (November 3, 2015) provides that Glencore will deliver 33.75% of the silver production until 140 million ounces are delivered and 22.5% of silver production thereafter, for a 50 year term that can be extended in increments of 10 years at the Company's discretion. Attributable reserves and resources have been calculated on the 33.75% / 22.5% basis.
|
13. |
The Yauliyacu mine silver purchase agreement provides that Glencore will deliver to the Company a per annum amount equal to the first 1.5 million ounces of payable silver produced at the Yauliyacu mine and 50% of any excess for the life of the mine.
|
14. |
Under the terms of the new San Dimas PMPA, the Company is entitled to an amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production converted to gold at a fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the "70" shall be revised to "50" or "90", as the case may be, until such time as the average gold to silver price ratio is between 50:1 to 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more in which event the "70" shall be reinstated.
|
15. |
The Rosemont mine Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves do not include the Oxide material.
|
16. |
On January 17, 2018, Chile's Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente (SMA) ordered the closure of existing infrastructure on the Chilean side of the Pascua-Lama project. As a result, Barrick has reclassified Pascua-Lama's proven and probable gold reserves as measured and indicated resources. As a result, Wheaton has also reclassified 151.7 million ounces of silver mineral reserves associated with Pascua-Lama as measured and indicated resources.
|
17. |
The Company only has the rights to silver contained in concentrates containing less than 15% copper at the Aljustrel mine.
|
18. |
The Company's agreement with Panoro is an Early Deposit agreement, whereby the Company will be entitled to purchase 100% of the silver production and 25% of the gold production from the Cotabambas project until 90 million silver equivalent ounces have been delivered, at which point the stream will drop to 66.67% of silver production and 16.67% of gold production for the life of mine.
|
19. |
The Company's agreement with Sandspring is an Early Deposit agreement, whereby the Company will be entitled to purchase 10% of the gold production and 50% of the silver production from the Toroparu project for the life of mine.
|
20. |
The Company's agreement with Kutcho Copper is an Early Deposit agreement, whereby the Company will be entitled to purchase 100% of the silver and gold production from the Kutcho project until 5.6 million ounces of silver and 51,000 ounces of gold have been delivered, after which both streams will decrease to 66.67% for the remaining life of mine.
|
21. |
With respect to Early Deposit agreements, the Company has the option to terminate the agreement following the delivery of a feasibility study or if feasibility study has not been delivered within a required time frame.
|
22. |
Effective August 7, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement for a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty on Chesapeake Gold Corp.'s (Chesapeake) Metates property, located in Mexico. As part of the agreement, Chesapeake will have the right at any time for a period of five years to repurchase two-thirds of the royalty, with the Company retaining a 0.5% royalty interest.
|
23. |
The Voisey's Bay cobalt purchase agreement provides that effective January 1, 2021, Vale will deliver 42.4% of the cobalt production until 31 million pounds are delivered to the Company and 21.2% of cobalt production thereafter, for the life of the mine. Attributable reserves and resources have been calculated on the 42.4% / 21.2% basis.
|
24. |
The Stillwater PMPA provides that effective July 1, 2018, Sibanye-Stillwater will deliver 100% of the gold production for the life of the mines and 4.5% of palladium production until 375,000 ounces are delivered, 2.25% of palladium production until a further 175,000 ounces are delivered and 1.0% of the palladium production thereafter for the life of the mines. Attributable palladium Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources have been calculated based upon the 4.5% / 2.25% / 1.0% production entitlements.
|
25. |
The Stillwater mine has been in operation since 1986 and the East Boulder mine since 2002. Individual grades for platinum, palladium, gold and rhodium are estimated using ratios applied to the combined platinum plus palladium grades based upon average historic production results provided to the Company as of the date of this document. As such, the Attributable Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve palladium and gold grades for the Stillwater mines have been estimated using the following ratios:
|
a. |
Stillwater mine: Pd = (Pt + Pd) / (1/3.51 + 1) and Au = (Pd + Pt) x 0.0153
|
b. |
East Boulder mine: Pd = (Pt + Pd) / (1/3.6 + 1) and Au = (Pd + Pt) x 0.0227
|
26. |
Silver, gold and cobalt subject to the precious metal purchase agreements are produced as by-product metal at all operations with the exception of silver at the Keno Hill mines and Loma de La Plata project and gold at the Toroparu project; therefore, the economic cut-off applied to the reporting of silver, gold and cobalt Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves will be influenced by changes in the commodity prices of other metals at the time of reporting.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies
|
· |
IFRS 16 – Leases: In January 2016, the IASB and the FASB completed its joint project to address concerns by users of financial statements in respect of reduced comparability between financial statements due to the different accounting treatment applied to operating leases as compared to finance leases by removing the distinction between operating leases and finance leases and rather having all leases accounted for as a finance lease, subject to limited exceptions for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and anticipates that upon adoption of this standard, its leases will be capitalized under the classification Right-of-Use Assets, with a corresponding liability for Leases Payable. The total amount to be capitalized is estimated to be $3 million. The Company also expects a reduction in operating cash outflows of approximately $1 million per annum upon the adoption of IFRS 16, with a corresponding increase in financing cash outflows. Lastly, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
|
· |
IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments: In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 which is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRIC 23 provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The extent of the impact of the adoption of IFRIC 23 has not yet been determined.

Includes cumulative impairment charges to December 31, 2017 as follows: Keno Hill silver interest - $11 million; Pascua-Lama silver interest - $338 million; 777 silver interest - $64 million; 777 gold interest - $151 million; and Sudbury gold interest - $120 million.

2) |
On March 29, 2017, the Company amended its silver purchase agreement with Alexco Resource Corp. ("Alexco") to adjust the silver production payment so that it will be a percentage of the spot silver price that increases with lower mill silver head grades and lower silver prices, and decreases with higher mill silver head grades and higher silver prices, subject to certain ceiling and floor grades and prices. In addition, the outside completion date was extended to December 31, 2019 and the area of interest was expanded to include properties currently owned by Alexco and properties acquired by Alexco in the future which fall within a one kilometer radius of existing Alexco holdings in the Keno Hill Silver District. As consideration, on April 10, 2017, Alexco issued 3 million shares to Wheaton which had a fair value of $5 million. The fair value of these shares have been reflected as a reduction to the cost base of the Keno Hill silver interest.

As at September 30, 2018, the Company had recognized non-capital losses of $14 million against deferred tax liabilities on income account.
|
2) |
As at September 30, 2018, the Company had recognized net capital losses of $0.6 million to offset unrealized taxable capital gains on long-term investments and the Kutcho Convertible Note.
|
3) |
Includes: capital assets, charitable donation carryforward, and PSU accrual.
|
4) |
Debt and share financing fees are deducted over a five year period for Canadian income tax purposes. For accounting purposes, debt financing fees are deducted over the term of the credit facility and share financing fees are charged directly to issued capital.
|
5) |
The Company's position, as reflected in its filed Canadian income tax returns, is that the cost of the precious metal acquired under the Canadian PMPAs is equal to the market value while a deposit is outstanding (where applicable to an agreement), and the cash cost thereafter, as provided for in the PMPAs. For accounting purposes, the cost of the mineral stream interests is depleted on a unit-of-production basis as described in Note 4.2.

Should the prevailing market price for the applicable metal be lower than this amount, the per ounce or per pound cash payment will be reduced to the prevailing market price, with the exception of Yauliyacu where the per ounce cash payment will not be reduced below $4.35 per ounce, subject to an annual inflationary factor.
|
3) |
Gold recoveries will be set at 55% for the Constancia deposit and 70% for the Pampacancha deposit until 265,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to the Company.
|

|
5) |
The Company is committed to pay Glencore 20% of the spot price of silver for each ounce of silver delivered under the Antamina silver purchase agreement.
|
6) |
Under the terms of the San Dimas PMPA, the Company is entitled to an amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production converted to gold at a fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the "70" shall be revised to "50" or "90", as the case may be, until such time as the average gold to silver price ratio is between 50:1 to 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more in which event the "70" shall be reinstated.
|
7) |
The Company is committed to purchase 4.5% of Stillwater palladium production until 375,000 ounces are delivered to the Company, thereafter 2.25% of Stillwater palladium production until 550,000 ounces are delivered to the Company and 1% of Stillwater palladium production thereafter for life of mine.
|
8) |
The Company is committed to pay Sabanye 18% of the spot price of gold and palladium for each ounce of gold and palladium delivered under the Stillwater PMPA until such time as the upfront cash payment is reduced to $NIL and 22% of the spot price thereafter.

|
12) |
Should the market price of silver exceed $20 per ounce, in addition to the $8.85 per ounce, the Company is committed to pay Glencore an additional amount for each ounce of silver delivered equal to 50% of the excess, to a maximum of $10 per ounce, such that when the market price of silver is $40 or above, the Company will pay Glencore $18.85 per ounce of silver delivered.
|
13) |
In October 2015, in order to incentivize additional exploration and potentially extend the limited remaining mine life of Stratoni, Wheaton and Eldorado Gold agreed to modify the Stratoni silver purchase agreement. The primary modification is to increase the production price per ounce of silver delivered to Wheaton over the current fixed price by one of the following amounts: (i) $2.50 per ounce of silver delivered if 10,000 meters of drilling is completed outside of the existing ore body and within Wheaton's defined area of interest ("Expansion Drilling"); (ii) $5.00 per ounce of silver delivered if 20,000 meters of Expansion Drilling is completed; and (iii) $7.00 per ounce of silver delivered if 30,000 meters of Expansion Drilling is completed. Drilling in all three cases must be completed by December 31, 2020, in order for the agreed upon increase in production price to be initiated. The figures in the above table reflect the fact that Eldorado completed 10,000 meters of Expansion Drilling in July 2018.

|
17) |
The production payment per ounce of gold delivered to Wheaton is to be increased over the current fixed price in periods where the market price of copper is lower than $2.50 per pound.
|
18) |
The production payment related to the Keno Hill silver interest is a function of the silver head grade and silver spot price in the month in which the silver is produced.
|
19) |
Terms of the agreement not yet finalized.
|
20) |
Once 90 million silver equivalent ounces attributable to Wheaton have been produced, the attributable production to be purchased will decrease to 66.67% of silver production and 16.67% of gold production for the life of mine.
|
21) |
Once 51,000 ounces of gold and 5.6 million ounces of silver have been delivered to Wheaton, the stream will decrease to 66.67% of silver and gold production for the life of mine.
|
22) |

N/A
|
N/A
|
1) |
For the taxation years ended after December 31, 2010, the Company files its Canadian tax returns in US dollars. However, taxes payable, if any, are payable in Canadian dollars based on the exchange rate applicable on the original payment due date. As a result, the US dollar amounts reflected in the table above are subject to fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar. Canadian dollar amounts in this table have been converted to US dollars at the exchange rate applicable at the balance sheet date as quoted by the Bank of Canada.
|
2) |
For the 2005-2010 taxation years, transfer pricing penalties of $55 million (Cdn$72 million) and interest and other penalties of $62 million (Cdn$81 million) were also assessed by the CRA. The total reassessment issued on September 24, 2015 was $273 million (Cdn$353 million). Additional interest accruing to December 31, 2017 on the total amount reassessed is estimated at $34 million (Cdn$45 million) for the 2005-2010 taxation years.
|
3) |
As a consequence of the CRA's reassessment of the 2005-2010 taxation years and the 2013 Domestic Reassessment, CRA reassessed the 2011 and 2012 taxation years to amend the non-capital losses available to offset the taxable income of $12 million and $14 million, respectively. As a result of the 2013 Domestic Reassessment, additional tax, interest, and penalties of about $1.7 million (Cdn$2.2 million) was owing for the 2011 and 2012 taxation years. On October 18, 2018, the Company filed Notices of Objection with respect to these reassessments and accordingly, paid 50% of the additional amounts owing. These reassessments do not relate to the CRA international audit of the 2011-2015 taxation years. These reassessments do not relate to the CRA international audit of the 2011-2015 taxation years.
|
4) |
Estimates of interest given as of the date stated. Interest accrues until payment date.
|
5) |
The estimates of income inclusion and tax payable are computed on the basis that the cost of precious metal acquired under the PMPAs is equal to the cash cost plus an amortized amount of the up-front payment and without taking into account any available Canadian non-capital losses.
|
6) |
If CRA were to reassess the 2011-2015 taxation years and continue to apply transfer pricing penalties, management estimates that transfer pricing penalties of approximately $187 million and interest (calculated to December 31, 2017) and other penalties of approximately $112 million (Cdn$145 million) may be applicable for the 2011-2015 taxation years.
|
7) |
If CRA were to reassess the 2016-2017 taxation years and continue to apply transfer pricing penalties, management estimates that transfer pricing penalties of approximately $58 million and interest (calculated to December 31, 2017) and other penalties of approximately $9 million (Cdn$12 million) may be applicable for the 2016-2017 taxation years.
|
8) |
If the cost of precious metal acquired under the PMPAs is equal to the market value of precious metal while the deposit is outstanding (where applicable to an agreement), and the cash cost thereafter, the estimated amounts for the 2011 – 2015 taxation years would be as follows: (i) income inclusion of $1.6 billion; (ii) tax payable of $336 million (Cdn$435 million); (iii) transfer pricing penalties (if applied) of $161 million; and (iv) interest and other penalties of $95 million (Cdn$123 million). On this basis, the estimated amounts for the 2016 – 2017 taxation years would be as follows: (i) income inclusion of $260 million; (ii) tax payable of $69 million (Cdn$89 million); (iii) transfer pricing penalties (if applied) of $26 million; and (iv) interest and other penalties of $4 million (Cdn$6 million).

Review: I have reviewed the interim financial report and interim MD&A (together, the "interim filings") of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (the "issuer") for the interim period ended September 30, 2018.
|
2. |
No misrepresentations: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim filings do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered by the interim filings.
|
3. |
Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim financial report together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings.
|
4. |
Responsibility: The issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, for the issuer.

designed DC&P, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that
|
(i) |
material information relating to the issuer is made known to us by others, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and
|
(ii) |
information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and
|
(b) |
designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer's GAAP.
|
5.1 |
Control framework: The control framework the issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I used to design the issuer's ICFR is Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
