WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [2]



Overview
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is a precious metal streaming company which generates its revenue primarily from the sale of precious metals (gold, silver and palladium) and cobalt. The Company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) and trades under the symbol WPM.

Including the agreements closed after September 30, 2024, the Company has entered into 39 long-term agreements (31 of which are precious metal purchase agreements, or “PMPAs”, three of which are early deposit PMPAs, and five of which are royalty agreements), with 33 different mining companies, related to precious metals and cobalt relating to 18 mining assets which are currently operating, 24 which are at various stages of development and 4 which have been placed into care and maintenance or have been closed, located in 17 countries. Pursuant to the PMPAs, Wheaton acquires metal production from the counterparties for an initial upfront payment plus an additional cash payment for each ounce or pound delivered which is fixed by contract, generally at or below the prevailing market price. Attributable metal production as referred to in this MD&A is the metal production to which Wheaton is entitled pursuant to the various PMPAs. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the per ounce price paid by the Company for the metals acquired under the agreements averaged $440 for gold, $5.03 for silver, $173 for palladium and $2.15 per pound for cobalt. The primary drivers of the Company’s financial results are the volume of metal production at the various mining assets to which the PMPAs relate and the price realized by Wheaton upon the sale of the metals received. Throughout this MD&A, the production and sales volume of gold, silver and palladium are reported in ounces, while cobalt is reported in pounds.

1)
All amounts in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced and sold, per ounce amounts and per share amounts.
2)
Gold-equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold; $23.00 per ounce silver; $1,000 per ounce palladium; and $13.00 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2024.
3)
Represents the increase (decrease) in payable ounces produced but not delivered (“PBND”) relative to the various mines that the Company derives precious metal from and, for cobalt, the increase (decrease) of payable pounds PBND and inventory on hand. Payable units PBND will be recognized in future sales as they are delivered to the Company under the terms of their contracts. Payable ounces PBND to Wheaton is expected to average approximately two to three months of annualized production for both gold and palladium and two months for silver but may vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including mine ramp-up and the timing of shipments. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.
4)
Refer to discussion on non-IFRS measures beginning on page 40 of this MD&A.
5)
Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the third quarter of 2023 was net of a previously recorded inventory write-down of $0.1 million (nine months - $1.6 million), resulting in a decrease of $0.51 per pound of cobalt sold (nine months - $2.05 per pound sold).
6)
As at September 30, 2024, cumulative dividends of $2,277 million have been declared and paid by the Company.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [4]



Highlights
Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, relative to the comparable period of the prior year:

o
Production amounted to 144,200 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), a decrease of 2%, with lower production from Salobo and Constancia being partially offset by higher production from Peñasquito.

o
Sales volumes amounted to 122,700 GEO's, an increase of 10%, primarily due to relative changes to the number of GEOs produced but not delivered (“PBND”).

o
Revenue increased 38% or $85 million to $308 million (61% gold, 37% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the increase due to a 26% increase in realized commodity prices coupled with the increased sales volume.

o
Gross margin amounted to $197 million (64% of revenue), representing an increase of $71 million.

o
Net earnings amounted to $155 million, an increase of $38 million, with the increased gross margin being partially offset by a $28 million tax expense attributable to the enactment of the global minimum tax (“GMT”) legislation.

o
Record operating cashflow amounting to $254 million, with the $83 million increase being the result of the higher gross margin.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 relative to the comparable period of the prior year:

o
Production amounted to 448,400 GEOs, an increase of 7%, with increased production from Salobo and Peñasquito being partially offset by lower production at San Dimas, the temporary cessation of production from Aljustrel and the suspension of operations at Minto.

o
Sales volumes amounted to 389,900 GEOs, an increase of 11% resulting from the higher production coupled with relative changes to PBND.

o
Revenue increased 29% or $202 million to $904 million (62% gold, 36% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the increase being primarily due to a 16% increase in realized commodity prices coupled with the 11% increase in sales volumes.

o
Gross margin amounted to $555 million (61% of revenue), representing an increase of $159 million.

o
Net earnings amounted to $441 million, an increase of $72 million with the higher gross margin more than offsetting the tax expense of $78 million attributable to the enactment of the GMT legislation.

o
Record operating cashflow amounting to $708 million, with the $200 million increase being due primarily to the higher gross margin.

On November 7, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.155 per common share.
Corporate Development

On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA, increasing the amount of attributable gold it is entitled to under the contract.

Other

During the third quarter of 2024:

o
The Company made a quarterly dividend payment of $70 million.

o
The Company made total upfront cash payments of $30 million relative to the Mineral Park PMPA ($25 million) and the DeLamar royalty ($5 million).

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [5]



Outlook1
Wheaton continues to forecast estimated attributable production in 2024 to be 325,000 to 370,000 ounces of gold, 18.5 to 20.5 million ounces of silver, and 12,000 to 15,000 gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) of other metals, resulting in production of approximately 550,000 to 620,000 GEOs2, unchanged from previous guidance.

Annual production is forecast to increase by approximately 40% to over 800,000 GEOs2 by 2028, with average annual production forecast to grow to over 850,000 GEOs2 in years 2029 to 2033, also unchanged from previous guidance.

Liquidity
From a liquidity perspective, the $694 million of cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2024 combined with the liquidity provided by the available credit under the $2 billion revolving term loan (“Revolving Facility”) and ongoing operating cash flows positions the Company well to fund all outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.



1 Statements made in this section contain forward-looking information with respect to forecast production, funding outstanding commitments and continuing to acquire accretive mineral stream interests and readers are cautioned that actual outcomes may vary. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.
2 Gold equivalent forecast production for 2024 and the longer-term outlook are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold, $23 per ounce silver, $1,000 per ounce palladium, $950 per ounce of platinum and $13.00 per pound cobalt. Other metal includes palladium, platinum and cobalt. Not included in Wheaton’s long-term forecast and instead classified as ‘optionality’, includes potential future production from Pascua Lama, Navidad, Toroparu, Cotabambas, Metates, DeLamar and additional expansions at Salobo outside of the Salobo III mine expansion project. Ounces produced represent the quantity of silver, gold, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [7]



1)
Abbreviations as follows: FM = First Majestic Silver Corp; MNTO = Minto Metals Corp.; PAAS = Pan American Silver Corp; ARG = Argentina; BRA = Brazil; CAN = Canada; CHL = Chile; CO = Colombia; ECU = Ecuador; GRC = Greece; MEX = Mexico; PER = Peru; PRT = Portugal; SA = South Africa; SWE = Sweden; USA = United States; UK = United Kingdom; and LOM = Life of Mine.
2)
Please refer to the section entitled “Contractual Obligations and Contingencies – Mineral Stream Interests” on page 33 of this MD&A for more information.
3)
All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces and per ounce amounts. The total upfront consideration paid to date excludes closing costs and capitalized interest, where applicable. Please refer to the section entitled “Other Contractual Obligations and Contingencies” on page 35 of this MD&A for details of when the remaining upfront consideration is forecasted to be paid. Certain contracts, including Santo Domingo and Curipamba, contain delay ounce provisions whereby should construction of the mine not be completed by an agreed to date, the mine operator must compensate the Company for the delay until certain conditions are satisfied by delivering additional ounces. The value of these ounces on the date first due, net of amounts owed to the mine operator, is treated as a reduction to the upfront consideration paid. Sale of the resulting ounces received is treated as revenue, with the associated cost of sales being equal to the fair value of the ounces on the date received.
4)
Payable gold, silver, palladium and cobalt PBND are based on management estimates. These figures may be updated in the future as additional information is received. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [8]



Stillwater – Suspension of Operations at Stillwater West
On September 12, 2024, Sibanye Stillwater (“Sibanye”) announced that as a result of low palladium prices it was placing the Stillwater West operations into care and maintenance, while using Stillwater East and East Boulder operations to improve efficiencies that could get Stillwater West back to production as prices permit.

Based on Sibanye's Q3 MD&A, the Company’s management estimates that with the Stillwater West operations in care and maintenance, 2025 production relative to the Stillwater PMPA will be approximately 40% to 45% lower than historical levels.

Updates on the Development Stage Mineral Stream Interests
Copper World
On August 29, 2024, Hudbay Minerals Inc., (“Hudbay”) announced that it has received an Aquifer Protection Permit for the Copper World project from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

Aris noted that both the SAG and ball mill fabrication are progressing on schedule for completion before the end of 2024.

Santo Domingo
On July 31, 2024, Capstone Copper Corp. (“Capstone”) published the results of an updated feasibility study for the Santo Domingo project, outlining an optimized mine plan, updated capital and operating cost estimates, and a 19-year mine life supported by higher mineral reserve estimates. As a result, total gold production is expected to average 35,000 ounces per year for the first seven years of production, an increase from the 30,000 ounces per year estimate outlined in the 2020 feasibility study, and 22,000 ounces per year for the life of mine, up from 17,000 ounces per year. With construction completed at the Mantoverde project, a deposit situated 35 kilometers northeast of the Santo Domingo project, Capstone plans to advance several value enhancement initiatives within the Mantoverde-Santo Domingo district that are not yet included in the 2024 feasibility study. The first of these initiatives is a newly announced two-year, $25 million exploration program at Mantoverde, aimed at supporting the two future processing centers between Mantoverde and Santo Domingo.

Fenix
On October 2, 2024, Rio2 Limited (“Rio2”) announced that its Chilean subsidiary has received the principal Sectorial Permits it requires to begin construction at the Fenix project. These Sectorial Permits are: 1) Mining Methods; 2) Process Plant; 3) Waste Dumps & Stockpiles; and 4) Closure Plan. Rio2 has indicated that these Sectorial Permits represent the last governmental authorization required to enable the start of the construction phase and subsequent operation of the Fenix mine.

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA with Rio2. Please see the Subsequent Events section on page 44 of this MD&A for more information.

Blackwater
On November 6, 2024, Artemis Gold Inc., (“Artemis”) announced that overall construction was over 95% complete as of September 30, 2024 and first gold pour is targeted for late Q4 2024. Construction of the tailings storage facility is ready to allow for the commencement of commissioning of the plant. Artemis reported that the initial mining fleet has been commissioned and pre-stripping of the mine, as well as the construction of haul roads are well advanced.

On July 22, 2024, Artemis announced that it had responded to a wildfire evacuation order issued across a region that includes its Blackwater mine by proactively removing all non-essential staff and contractors from the mine site as of July 21, 2024. On July 26, 2024, Artemis announced the evacuation order has been lifted and began an expedient, staged return of employees and contractors to site.

Curipamba
On July 31, 2024, Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp”) announced that it had completed the previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Adventus Mining Corporation. Under the terms of the Curipamba PMPA, within 30 days of a change of control, Silvercorp had a one-time option to repurchase 33% of the gold and silver stream, which expired unexercised.

On August 6, 2024, Silvercorp announced a key milestone that the Ministry of Energy and Mines of the Government of Ecuador (“MEM”) has issued a Resolution of Change of Phase for the Curipamba project. The Resolution of Change of Phase advances the legal status of the project from the economic evaluation phase to the exploitation
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [9]



phase and allows for the start of construction and subsequent operation of the mine. The Change of Phase for a medium-scale project is equivalent to the Exploitation Agreement for large-scale mines in Ecuador. Silvercorp announced on August 21, 2024 that following the acquisition of Adventus, they have initiated the process of construction with a goal to bring the project into production some time in 2026, as previously planned.

During the second quarter of 2024, an Ecuadorian court rejected a constitutional protective action (the “Constitutional Action”) filed by third parties against Ministry of Environment, Water and Energy Transition of the Government of Ecuador (“MAATE”) and concluded that the consultative process followed by MAATE in issuing the various permits relative to the Curipamba project complied with applicable legal requirements. An appeal was granted and a hearing took place at the Superior Court of Bolivar on October 17, 2024. There is no deadline for the judgement.

Marathon
On July 31, 2024, Generation Mining Limited (“Gen Mining”) reported that the federal government has approved amendments to Schedule 2 of the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations (“Schedule 2”) which will allow for the construction of specific water management structures and operation of key infrastructure for the Marathon project.

On August 7, 2024, Gen Mining announced a key milestone with the receipt of the Fisheries Act Authorization (“FAA”) for the Marathon project. The FAA, issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, approves Gen Mining’s plan to avoid, mitigate and offset impacts to fish and fish habitat related to the development of the project. This authorization represents the final federal approval required to commence construction of the tailings storage facility and water management structures. The Marathon project requires three remaining provincial approvals to be issued by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and the Ministry of Natural Resources. These are expected in the coming months, following which the Marathon project will have all of the key government permits and approvals required for construction.

Goose
On November 6 2024, B2Gold Corp. (“B2Gold”) announced that all planned construction year to date in 2024 has been completed. Project construction and development continues to progress on track for first gold pour at the Goose Project in the second quarter of 2025, followed by a ramp up to commercial production in the third quarter of 2025. The 2024 sealift was completed successfully on September 30, 2024, with ten ships and one barge having unloaded 123,000 cubic meters of dry cargo, more than 84 million liters of arctic grade diesel fuel and 58 additional trucks for the 2025 Winter Ice Road campaign.

Platreef
On October 30, 2024, Ivanhoe Mines (“Ivanhoe”) reported that construction of the Phase 1 concentrator was completed on schedule early in the third quarter. First ore is scheduled for the second half of 2025, while underground development prioritizes development to accelerate Phase 2. Ivanhoe also states that work continues on the updated feasibility study to accelerate the startup of Phase 2, as well as the preliminary economic assessment of the previously announced Phase 3 expansion to 10 Mtpa processing capacity. Both studies are now expected to be published in Q1 2025.

Curraghinalt
On May 3, 2024, the Planning Appeals Commission & Water Appeals Commission (“the commission”) in Northern Ireland concluded that the water abstraction and impoundment licenses (“water licenses”) relative to the Curraghinalt Project have been rescinded and that license applications would need to be resubmitted and subsequent public inquiry referrals held. Dalradian Gold Ltd., has re-submitted two new applications for the abstraction licenses and those licenses were received by the commission on September 5, 2024. The commission has set new dates to resume the public inquiry process beginning on January 13, 2025.

Early Deposit Mineral Stream Interests
Early deposit mineral stream interests represent agreements relative to early stage development projects whereby Wheaton can choose not to proceed with the agreement once certain documentation has been received including, but not limited to, feasibility studies, environmental studies and impact assessment studies. Once Wheaton has elected to proceed with the agreement, the carrying value of the stream will be transferred to Mineral Stream Interests.

Abbreviation as follows: NSR = Net Smelter Return Royalty; and GR = Gross Royalty.
2)
Expressed in thousands; excludes closing costs.
3)
The Company paid $3 million for an existing 2.0% net smelter return royalty interests on the first 600,000 ounces of gold mined and a 2.75% net smelter returns royalty interest thereafter. The Brewery Creek Royalty agreement provides, among other things, that Golden Predator Mining Corp., (subsidiary of Victoria Gold) may reduce the 2.75% net smelter royalty interest to 2.125% on payment of the sum of Cdn$2 million to the Company.
4)
Liberty Gold has been granted an option to repurchase 50% of the NSR for $4 million at any point in time up to the earlier of commercial production at Black Pine or January 1, 2030.
5)
The Mt Todd royalty is at a rate of 1% of gross revenue with such rate being subject to increase to a maximum rate of 2%, depending on the timing associated with the achievement of certain operational milestones.
6)
Under the DeLamar royalty, if completion is not achieved by January 1, 2029, the DeLamar Royalty will increase annually by 0.15% of net smelter returns to a maximum of 2.7% of net smelter returns.

To date, no revenue has been recognized and no depletion has been taken with respect to these royalty agreements.

Black Pine
On September 25, 2024, Liberty Gold announced the receipt of a Hardrock Prospector Permit covering four areas located directly adjacent to the Black Pine project.

Long-Term Equity Investments

The Company’s long-term investments in common shares (“LTI’s”) are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading purposes. As such, the Company has elected to reflect any fair value adjustments, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to net earnings on disposal of these long-term investments but is reclassified to retained earnings.

While long-term investments in warrants are also held for long-term strategic purposes, they meet the definition of a derivative and therefore are classified as financial assets with fair value adjustments being recorded as a component of
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [11]



net earnings under the classification Other Income (Expense). Warrants that do not have a quoted market price are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

By holding these long-term investments, the Company is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.
A summary of the fair value of these equity investments and the fair value changes recognized as a component of the Company’s OCI during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is presented below:

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. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q3 2024 - 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 - 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 - 291,000 ounces; Q4 2023 - 378,000 ounces; Q3 2023 - 387,000 ounces; Q2 2023 - 423,000 ounces; Q1 2023 - 401,000 ounces; Q4 2022 - 348,000 ounces.

Expressed as dollars per ounce and for cobalt per pound.
3)
Refer to discussion on non-IFRS beginning on page 40 of this MD&A.
4)
Includes the non-cash per ounce cost of sale associated with delay ounces. Please see footnote 3 on page 8 of this MD&A for more information).
5)
Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the fourth quarter of 2022 includes an inventory write-down of $1.6 million, resulting in an increase of $8.71 per pound. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, the cobalt inventory sold was net of the inventory write-down taken in 2022 in the amount of $1.0 million, $0.5 million,  $0.1 million and $0.02 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease to the reported cost of cobalt sold of $3.18 per pound of cobalt sold, $1.81 per pound of cobalt sold, $0.51 per pound of cobalt sold and $0.08 per pound of cobalt sold, respectively.

Changes in sales, net earnings and cash flow from operations from quarter to quarter are affected primarily by fluctuations in production at the mines, the timing of shipments, changes in the price of commodities, the commencement of operations of mines under construction, as well as acquisitions of PMPAs and any related capital raising activities.

Quantity produced represents the amount of gold, silver, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions. Production figures are based on information provided by the operators of the mining operations to which the mineral stream interests relate or management estimates in those situations where other information is not available. Certain production figures may be updated in future periods as additional information is received.
2)
GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold; $23.00 per ounce silver; $1,000 per ounce palladium; and $13.00 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for 2024.

GEO Production
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, attributable GEO production was 144,200 ounces, with the 3,100 ounce decrease from the comparable period in 2023 being primarily attributable to the following factors:

9,100 ounce or 34% decrease from Constancia (comprised of 8,600 gold ounces and 49,000 silver ounces), primarily due to lower grades largely due to the planned stripping activity in the Pampacancha pit, which commenced in the second quarter, and continued throughout the third quarter;

7,000 ounce or 33% decrease from the Other mines (comprised of 611,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the temporary suspension of attributable production from Aljustrel;

6,400 ounce or 9% decrease from Salobo; primarily due to lower grades, partially offset by higher throughput. From a throughput perspective, the three 12 mtpa lines operated at approximately 90% of capacity during Q3-2024, as compared to approximately 73% during Q3-2023; and

3,100 ounce or 31% decrease from San Dimas, primarily due to lower throughput and grades; partially offset by


20,500 ounce increase from Peñasquito (1,785,000 silver ounces), with Peñasquito producing no ounces in the third quarter of 2023 as a result of a labour strike which lasted from June 7 to October 13, 2023; and


1,400 ounce or 118% increase from Voisey's Bay (214,000 cobalt pounds), primarily attributable to the mining of higher grade material as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey’s Bay underground mine nears completion.

GEO Production
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, attributable GEO production was 448,400 ounces, with the 29,100 ounce increase from the comparable period in 2023 being primarily attributable to the following factors:

33,000 ounce or 75% increase from Peñasquito (2,872,000 silver ounces), primarily due to higher grades and throughput, with prior year operations being impacted by a labour strike which lasted from June 7 to October 13, 2023;

20,000 ounce or 12% increase from Salobo, with production from the third concentrator line commencing at the end of 2022 and achieving the initial completion test of 32 Mtpa in Q4 2023, partially offset by lower grades. From a throughput perspective, the three 12 mtpa lines operated at approximately 82% of capacity during 2024 as compared to approximately 65% during 2023; and

2,800 ounce or 95% increase from Voisey's Bay (438,000 cobalt pounds), primarily attributable to the mining of higher grade material as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey’s Bay underground mine nears completion; partially offset by

13,700 ounce or 22% decrease from the Other mines (comprised of 4,300 gold ounces and 816,000 silver ounces), primarily due to the closure of the Minto mine in May 2023 and the temporary suspension of attributable production from Aljustrel;

10,400 ounce or 33% decrease from San Dimas, primarily due to lower throughput and grades; and

2,100 ounce or 4% decrease from Constancia (comprised of 2,900 gold ounces and 70,000 silver ounces), primarily due to a lower grades largely due to the planned stripping activity in the Pampacancha pit, which commenced in the second quarter, and continued throughout the third quarter.

On June 20, 2024, Canada’s Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”), received royal assent. The GMTA enacts the OECD Pillar Two model rules (“Pillar Two”) where in scope companies are subject to a 15% global minimum tax (GMT) for fiscal years commencing on or after December 31, 2023. With the enactment of the GMTA on June 20, 2024, the income of the Company’s Cayman Island subsidiaries, who have a statutory tax rate of 0%, are subject to the GMTA. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 an amount of $28 million current tax expense associated with GMT was recorded (nine months - $78 million). GMT accrued to December 31, 2024 is payable on or before June 30, 2026 (18 months following year-end).

To date, the government of the Cayman Islands has indicated that they do not intend to enact Pillar Two Legislation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources1
As at September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $694 million (December 31, 2023 - $547 million) and no debt outstanding under its Revolving Facility (December 31, 2023 - $NIL).

In the opinion of management, the $694 million of cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2024, combined with the liquidity provided by the available credit under the $2 billion Revolving Facility and ongoing operating cash flows positions the Company well to fund all outstanding commitments, as detailed on pages 33 through 35 of this MD&A, as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.




1 Statements made in this section contain forward-looking information with respect to funding outstanding commitments and continuing to acquire accretive mineral stream interests and readers are cautioned that actual outcomes may vary. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.

1)
The production payment is measured as either a fixed amount per ounce of gold delivered, or as a percentage of the spot price of gold on the date of delivery. Contracts where the payment is a fixed amount per ounce of gold delivered are subject to an annual inflationary increase, with the exception of Sudbury. Additionally, should the prevailing market price for gold be lower than this fixed amount, the per ounce cash payment will be reduced to the prevailing market price, subject to an annual inflationary factor.
2)
Subject to an increase to $550 per ounce of gold after the initial 40-year term.
3)
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. Currently, the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio is 70:1.
4)

WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [35]



Salobo
The Salobo mine historically had a mill throughput capacity of 24 Mtpa and is currently ramping up to full capacity of 36 Mtpa, expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. On November 21, 2023, the Company and Vale jointly announced the successful completion of the throughput test for the first phase of the Salobo III expansion project, with the Salobo complex exceeding an average throughput of 32 Mtpa over a 90-day period. As a result, Wheaton paid Vale $370 million on December 1, 2023, representing the amount due for completion of the first phase of the Salobo III expansion project.
The remaining balance of the expansion payment is dependent on the timing of completion and will be triggered once Vale expands actual throughput above 35 Mtpa for a period of 90 days. If actual throughput is expanded above 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, Wheaton will be required to make additional payments to Vale based on the size of the expansion and the timing of completion. The set payments range from a total of $52 million if throughput is expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2031, to up to $163 million if throughput is expanded beyond 35 Mtpa by January 1, 2025.
In addition, Wheaton will be required to make annual payments of between $5.1 million to $8.5 million for a 10-year period following payment of the expansion payments if the Salobo mine implements a high-grade mine plan, with payments to be made for each year the high-grade plan is achieved.
Copper World Complex
The Company is committed to pay Hudbay total upfront cash payments of $230 million in two installments, with the first $50 million being advanced upon Hudbay’s receipt of permitting for the Copper World Complex and other customary conditions and the balance of $180 million being advanced once project costs incurred on the Copper World Complex exceed $98 million and certain other customary conditions. Under the Copper World Complex PMPA, the Company is permitted to elect to pay the deposit in cash or the delivery of common shares. Additionally, the Company will be entitled to certain delay payments, including where construction ceases in any material respect, or if completion is not achieved within agreed upon timelines.

Marmato
Under the terms of the Marmato PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Aris Mining additional upfront cash payments of $122 million, payable during the construction of the Marmato Lower Mine development portion of the Marmato mine, subject to customary conditions.

Santo Domingo
Under the terms of the Santo Domingo PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Capstone Copper Corp., (“Capstone”) additional upfront cash payments of $260 million, which is payable during the construction of the Santo Domingo project, subject to customary conditions being satisfied, including Capstone attaining sufficient financing to cover total expected capital expenditures.

Fenix

Under the terms of the Curipamba PMPA, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront cash payments of $162.2 million, which includes $250,000 which will be paid to support certain local community development initiatives around the Curipamba Project. The payments will be payable in four staged installments during construction, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied.

Marathon
Under the terms of the Marathon PMPA, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront cash payments of $148 million (Cdn$200 million), which is to be paid in four staged installments during construction of the Marathon project, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied.

Cangrejos
Under the terms of the Cangrejos PMPA, which had a closing date of May 16, 2023 and amended on May 31, 2024, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront consideration of $261 million. Of this amount, $6 million is payable on December 2, 2024, $3 million can be drawn upon for committed acquisition of surface rights and the remainder is to be paid in four staged equal installments during construction of the mine, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied.

Curraghinalt
Under the terms of the Curraghinalt PMPA, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront cash payments of $55 million to be paid to an affiliate of Dalradian Gold during construction of the Curraghinalt project.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [36]




Loma de La Plata
Under the terms of the Loma de La Plata PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Pan American Silver Corp., (“PAAS”) total upfront cash payments of $32 million following the satisfaction of certain conditions, including PAAS receiving all necessary permits to proceed with the mine construction and the Company finalizing the definitive terms of the PMPA.

Mineral Park
Under the terms of the Mineral Park PMPA, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront cash payments of $65 million in two payments during construction through an installment of $25 million and a final installment of $40 million.

Kudz Ze Kayah
Under the terms of the Kudz Ze Kayah PMPA (“KZK”), an additional $5 million contingency payment is due to Orion if the KZK project achieves certain milestones.

Cotabambas
Under the terms of the Cotabambas Early Deposit Agreement, the Company is committed to pay Panoro additional upfront cash payments of $126 million. Following the delivery of a bankable definitive feasibility study, environmental study and impact assessment, and other related documents (collectively, the "Cotabambas Feasibility Documentation"), and receipt of permits and construction commencing, the Company may then advance the remaining deposit or elect to terminate the Cotabambas Early Deposit Agreement. If the Company elects to terminate, the Company will be entitled to a return of the portion of the amounts advanced less $2 million payable upon certain triggering events occurring.

Toroparu
Under the terms of the Toroparu Early Deposit Agreement, the Company is committed to pay a subsidiary of Aris Mining an additional $138 million, payable on an installment basis to partially fund construction of the mine. Aris Mining is to deliver certain feasibility documentation. Prior to the delivery of this feasibility documentation, Wheaton may elect to (i) not proceed with the agreement or (ii) not pay the balance of the upfront consideration and reduce the gold stream percentage from 10% to 0.909% and the silver stream percentage from 50% to nil. If option (i) is chosen, Wheaton will be entitled to a return of the amounts advanced less $2 million. If Wheaton elects option (ii), Aris Mining may elect to terminate the agreement and Wheaton will be entitled to a return of the amount of the deposit already advanced less $2 million.

Kutcho
Under the terms of the Kutcho Early Deposit Agreement, the Company is committed to pay Kutcho additional upfront cash payments of $58 million, which will be advanced on an installment basis to partially fund construction of the mine once certain conditions have been satisfied.

Taxes - Canada Revenue Agency – 2013 to 2016 Taxation Years - Domestic Reassessments 1
The Company received Notices of Reassessment in 2018, 2019, and 2022 for the 2013 to 2016 taxation years in which the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is seeking to change the timing of the deduction of upfront payments with respect to the Company’s PMPAs relating to Canadian mining assets, so that the cost of precious metal acquired under these Canadian PMPAs is equal to the cash cost paid on delivery plus an amortized amount of the upfront payment determined on a units-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable reserves, and where applicable, resources and exploration potential at the respective mine (the “Domestic Reassessments”).

In total, the Company expects the Domestic Reassessments to have assessed tax, interest and other penalties of approximately $2 million.

Management believes the Company’s position, as reflected in its filed Canadian income tax returns and consistent with the terms of the PMPAs, that the cost of the precious metal acquired under the Canadian PMPAs is equal to the market value while a deposit is outstanding, and the cash cost thereafter, is correct. The Company has filed Notices of Objection and paid 50% of the disputed amounts in order to challenge the Domestic Reassessments.



1 The assessment by management of the expected impact of the Domestic Reassessments on the Company is “forward-looking information”. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the MD&A for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [37]



Tax Contingencies
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including audits and disputes.

Under the terms of the settlement with the CRA of the transfer pricing dispute relating to the 2005 to 2010 taxation years (the “CRA Settlement”), income earned outside of Canada by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to tax in Canada under transfer pricing rules.  The CRA Settlement principles apply to all taxation years after 2010 subject to there being no material change in facts or change in law or jurisprudence. The CRA is not restricted under the terms of the CRA Settlement from issuing reassessments on some basis other than transfer pricing which could result in some or all of the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries being subject to tax in Canada.

It is not known or determinable by the Company when any ongoing audits by CRA of international and domestic transactions will be completed, or whether reassessments will be issued, or the basis, quantum or timing of any such potential reassessments, and it is therefore not practicable for the Company to estimate the financial effect, if any, of any ongoing audits.

From time to time there may also be proposed legislative changes to law or outstanding legal actions that may have an impact on the current or prior periods, the outcome, applicability and impact of which is also not known or determinable by the Company.

General
By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. If the Company is unable to resolve any of these matters favorably, there may be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. In the event that the Company’s estimate of the future resolution of any of the foregoing matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the change in its consolidated financial statements in the appropriate period relative to when such change occurs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received proceeds of $1 million from the exercise of 25,098 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$47.17 per option (nine months - $13 million from the exercise of 494,457 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$36.17). During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $0.1 million from the exercise of 4,563 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$38.14 per option (nine months - $10 million from the exercise of 434,810 share purchase options at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$31.59).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company released 69,494 RSUs, with all releases taking place during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company released 119,827 RSUs, with all releases taking place during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were 5,379 common shares issued under the DRIP (nine months - 32,518 common shares). During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were 22,246 common shares issued under the DRIP (nine months - 122,978 common shares).

As of November 7, 2024, there were 453,667,883 outstanding common shares, 1,074,374 share purchase options and 336,929 restricted share units.

At the Market Equity Program
The Company has established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) that allows the Company to issue up to $300 million worth of common shares from treasury (“Common Shares”) to the public from time to time at the Company’s discretion and subject to regulatory requirements. The ATM Program will be effective until the date that all Common Shares available for issue under the ATM Program have been issued or the ATM Program is terminated prior to such date by the Company or the agents.

Wheaton intends that the net proceeds from the ATM Program, if any, will be available as one potential source of funding for stream acquisitions and/or other general corporate purposes including the repayment of indebtedness. As at September 30, 2024 the Company has not issued any shares under the ATM program.

Financial Instruments
The Company owns equity interests in several companies as long-term investments (see page 11 of this MD&A) and therefore is inherently exposed to various risk factors including currency risk, market price risk and liquidity risk.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [38]




In order to mitigate the effect of short-term volatility in gold, silver and palladium prices, the Company will occasionally enter into forward contracts in relation to gold, silver and palladium deliveries that it is highly confident will occur within a given quarter. The Company does not hedge its long-term exposure to commodity prices. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to manage the risks associated with its operations and therefore, in the normal course of business, it is inherently exposed to currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.

New Accounting Standards Effective in 2024
Amendment to IAS 1- Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments to IAS 1, clarify the presentation of liabilities. The classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Future Changes to Accounting Policies
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The Company is required to apply IFRS 18 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.

Non-IFRS Measures
Wheaton has included, throughout this document, certain non-IFRS performance measures, including (i) adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share; (ii) operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted); (iii) average cash costs of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis; and (iv) cash operating margin.

These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.


i.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are calculated by removing the effects of non-cash impairment charges (reversals) (if any), non-cash fair value (gains) losses and other one-time (income) expenses as well as the reversal of non-cash income tax expense (recovery) which is offset by income tax expense (recovery) recognized in the Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and OCI, respectively. 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.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic and diluted).

iii.
Average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion and cost of sales related to delay ounces, by the ounces or pounds sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow.

The cost of sales related to delay ounces is a non-cash expense (see footnote 3 on page 8 of this MD&A for more information).

2)
Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the third quarter of 2023 was net of a previously recorded inventory write-down of $0.1 million (nine months - $1.6 million), resulting in a decrease of $0.51 per pound of cobalt sold (nine months - $2.05 per pound of cobalt sold).

iv.
Cash operating margin is calculated by adding back depletion and the cost of sales related to delay ounces to the gross margin. Cash operating margin on a per ounce or per pound basis is calculated by dividing the cash operating margin by the number of ounces or pounds sold during the period. The Company presents cash operating margin as management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metal mining industry who present results on a similar basis as well as to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash flow.

Subsequent Events
Declaration of Dividend
Under the Company’s dividend policy, the quarterly dividend is fixed at $0.155 per common share. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

On November 7, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.155 per common share, with this dividend being payable to shareholders of record on November 21, 2024 and is expected to be distributed on or about December 6, 2024. The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) whereby shareholders can elect to have dividends reinvested directly into additional Wheaton common shares based on the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP.

Acquisition of Koné Gold PMPA
On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Koné Gold PMPA”) with Montage Gold Corp. (“Montage”) in respect of its 90% owned Koné Gold Project located in Côte d’Ivoire. Under the terms of the agreement, Wheaton will purchase 19.5% of the payable gold production until 400,000 ounces of gold have been delivered (subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule), 10.8% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 130,000 ounces and 5.4% gold production thereafter for the life of mine. Under the terms of the Koné Gold PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Montage total upfront cash payments of $625 million, payable in four equal installment payments during construction, subject to certain conditions, including that all permits have been obtained.

In addition, Wheaton will make ongoing production payments for the gold ounces delivered equal to 20% of the spot gold price. For the first five years after the PMPA is signed, there will be a price adjustment mechanism in place if the spot price of gold is less than $2,100 per ounce or greater than $2,700 per ounce.

The Company has also provided Montage with a secured debt facility of up to $75 million.

Amendment to the Fenix PMPA
On November 15, 2021, the Company acquired a gold stream in respect of gold production from the Fenix Project (the “Fenix PMPA”). Under the terms of the Fenix PMPA, the Company was to acquire an amount of gold equal to 6% of the gold production until 90,000 ounces have been delivered, 4% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 140,000 ounces and 3.5% gold production thereafter for the life of mine.

On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company is entitled to purchase an additional 16% of payable gold production (22% in total) (subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule). Once Rio2 delivers the incremental 95,000 ounces (as adjusted), the stream reverts to the percentages and thresholds under the original Fenix PMPA (as described above). Rio2 has a one-time option to terminate the requirement to deliver the incremental gold production from the end of 2027 until the end of 2029 by delivering 95,000 ounces (as adjusted) less previously delivered gold ounces, excluding those gold ounces which would have been delivered under the original Fenix PMPA. Finally, the Company has also agreed to adjust the production payment for all gold ounces delivered to 20% of the spot gold price. In exchange for the amendment, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront cash consideration of $100 million, payable in two equal installments, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied.

Wheaton will also provide a $20 million contingent secured debt facility in the form of a standby loan facility. Lastly, Wheaton has committed to participate in a private placement of Rio2 common shares for Cdn$5 million at a price per share equal to, and concurrent with, a public offering by Rio2.

Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, for the Company.

Together, the internal control frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, the effectiveness of internal control is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may change.
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS 2024 THIRD QUARTER REPORT - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS [44]



There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary.

Limitation of Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

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.
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 0.0238

Cautionary Language Regarding Reserves And Resources

For further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Wheaton’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2024, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Wheaton’s Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources:

The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. For example, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as “proven mineral reserves”, “probable mineral reserves”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, information contained herein that describes Wheaton’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Wheaton’s Form 40-F, a copy of which may be obtained from Wheaton or from http://www.sec.gov/edgar.html.
