Transformative Acquisitions

Nomad and BaseCore propel the Company forward in both size and scale while solidifying Sandstorm’s position amongst its peers as the go-to streaming and royalty company.

• In July 2022, the Company closed its previously announced agreement to acquire nine royalties and one stream from BaseCore Metals LP for $425 million in cash and approximately 13.5 million common shares of Sandstorm. The royalty package includes exposure to high quality, long-life assets of which three are on currently producing interests.

• On August 9, 2022, the shareholders of both the Company and Nomad Royalty Company Ltd. approved the previously announced agreement whereby Sandstorm agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Nomad. Nomad is a high-growth precious metals-focused royalty company with a portfolio of 20 royalty and stream assets, of which seven are on currently producing mines. Through the Nomad acquisition, Sandstorm adds several high-quality and low-cost assets. With several assets in active development, Nomad’s portfolio adds meaningful increases to Sandstorm’s production in both the near and long-term. The acquisition is subject to certain customary conditions and expected to close in August 2022.

• Key highlights of the transactions include:

^○  Considerable upsize to Sandstorm’s scale: The transactions are expected to substantially increase the Company’s scale and size, cementing Sandstorm’s status as one of the largest, highest-growth, and most liquid mid-tier royalty and streaming company.

^○  Precious metals focused with exceptional assets: The addition of several high quality and low-cost assets fortifies Sandstorm’s focus on gold, silver, and copper exposure. By 2025, Sandstorm’s revenue is expected to be nearly 90% precious metals.

^○  Significant growth: Sandstorm expects its production to grow more than 85% between 2022 and 2025. The transactions add several development stage assets contributing to this growth including Greenstone, Platreef, and Cortez (Robertson deposit).

^○  Portfolio diversification: On completion of the transactions, Sandstorm’s resulting portfolio will total 250 streams and royalties, of which 39 of the underlying assets will be cash-flowing with no asset contributing more than 15% to the Company’s consensus net asset value.

^○  Increase to long-term guidance: The transactions increase Sandstorm’s 2022 production guidance by approximately 22% from 65,000–70,000 Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ to 80,000–85,000 and increase long-term production guidance by 55% from 100,000 to 155,000 in 2025.

^○  Strengthening Sandstorm’s partnership with Horizon Copper: Furthering Sandstorm’s strategy to acquire precious metal streams on high-quality copper assets, Sandstorm will sell a portion of a copper royalty to Horizon and retain a silver stream, adding diversification and size to Horizon’s growing copper portfolio, while increasing Sandstorm’s precious metal exposure.

1    Refer to section on non-IFRS and other measures of this MD&A.

Horizon Copper

Horizon to become a key strategic partner with multiple high-quality assets.

• In July 2022, the Company signed definitive agreements with Royalty North Partners Ltd. (to be renamed Horizon Copper) to spin out a number of its assets and retain gold and silver streams along with a portion of debt and equity interest in Horizon. These transactions further reposition Sandstorm as a pure-play precious metals royalty and streaming company.

• Horizon Copper’s business intent is to become an aggressive consolidator of quality copper assets. Upon completion of the various agreements, Horizon Copper’s newly formed portfolio will have exposure to multiple high-quality and low-cost copper assets. Key transaction highlights include:

^○  Hod Maden and Entrée Resources: In consideration for transferring Sandstorm’s 30% interest in Hod Maden and its equity interest in Entrée Resources, Sandstorm receives a flagship Gold Stream on Hod Maden and a portion of debt and equity in Horizon Copper.

^○  Antamina: Sandstorm has entered into an agreement with Horizon Copper to sell a portion of the Antamina copper royalty acquired in the BaseCore acquisition and in consideration receive a combination of a silver stream, debt, equity, and cash.

• On closing, Horizon Copper will be positioned as a competitive copper company with a portfolio of high-quality cash-flowing and development stage copper assets. This transformative transaction provides Horizon Copper with the size and scale required to grow and diversify the company, further strengthening the strategic partnership opportunities with Sandstorm.

Sandbox Royalties and Other

Unlocking value, upsized credit facility, Mercedes Gold Stream and dividends.

• In April 2022, the Company closed its previously announced $60 million financing package with Bear Creek Mining to facilitate its acquisition of the producing Mercedes gold-silver mine in Mexico from Equinox Gold Corp. The financing package included a $37.5 million Gold Stream and a $22.5 million convertible debenture.

• In June 2022, the Company closed its previously announced sale of a portfolio of royalties to Sandbox Royalties for $65 million. Final terms of the portfolio sale included 34 million common shares of Sandbox at a price of CAD0.70 per share, a $15 million cash payment and a $31.4 million 10-year secured convertible promissory note. With the creation of Sandbox, a diversified royalty company, Sandstorm is taking royalties that don’t currently receive their warranted value within Sandstorm’s existing portfolio and surfacing their value so that our shareholders can benefit now.

• In June 2022, the Company declared its third dividend of CAD0.02 per share, which was paid on July 29, 2022.

3

• In July 2022, Sandstorm amended its revolving credit agreement allowing the Company to borrow up to $500 million with an additional uncommitted accordion of up to $125 million, for a total of up to $625 million. The facility maintains its sustainability-linked performance targets.

Overview

Sandstorm is a growth-focused company that seeks to acquire royalties and gold and other metals purchase agreements (“Gold Streams” or “Streams”) from companies that have advanced stage development projects or operating mines. In return for making upfront payments to acquire a Stream, Sandstorm receives the right to purchase, at a fixed price per ounce or at a fixed percentage of the spot price, a percentage of a mine’s gold, silver, or other commodity (“Gold Equivalent” as further defined herein)¹ production for the life of the mine. Sandstorm helps other companies in the resource industry grow their businesses, while acquiring attractive assets in the process. The Company is focused on acquiring Streams and royalties from mines with low production costs, significant exploration potential and strong management teams. Upon closing the Nomad Acquisition (defined herein), the Company will have 250 Streams and royalties, of which 39 of the underlying mines are producing.

In May 2022, the Company and Nomad Royalty Company Ltd. (“Nomad”) entered into a definitive agreement whereby Sandstorm agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Nomad pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Nomad Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the Nomad Acquisition, Nomad shareholders will receive consideration of 1.21 Sandstorm common shares for each Nomad common share held. Having received the approval of both sets of shareholders, the Nomad Acquisition is expected to close in August 2022 (subject to receipt of all applicable court approvals and other customary conditions).

Nomad is a high-growth precious metals-focused royalty company with a portfolio of 20 royalty and stream assets, of which seven are on currently producing mines. Through the Nomad Acquisition, Sandstorm adds several high-quality and low-cost assets. With several assets in active development, Nomad’s portfolio adds meaningful increases to Sandstorm’s production in both the near and long-term. Nomad’s portfolio further diversifies Sandstorm’s portfolio while increasing exposure to gold and silver. Sandstorm expects Nomad’s production to grow to approximately 40,000 Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ by 2025, with key assets including:

Upon closing, Sandstorm will hold a Gold Stream entitling it to purchase 2.375% of the gold produced from the property, until 120,333 ounces of gold have been delivered, then 1.583% thereafter, for an on-going per ounce cash payment of 20% of the spot price of gold. Additional ongoing payments of $30 per gold ounce will fund mine-level environmental and social programs. In July 2022, Equinox announced that the Greenstone project is 35% complete and remains on schedule and on budget as reported in Equinox’s October 27, 2021 news release.

CORTEZ COMPLEX (ROBERTSON DEPOSIT)

Robertson is a development stage deposit part of the Cortez Mine Complex in Nevada, jointly owned by Barrick Gold Corp (“Barrick”) (61.5%) and Newmont Mining Corp (38.5%). Robertson is currently being qualified by Barrick as an emerging tier two gold asset (defined by Barrick as an asset with a reserve potential to deliver a minimum 10-year life, annual production of at least 250,000 ounces of gold and total cash costs per ounce of gold over the mine life that are in the lower half of the industry cost curve). Upon closing, Sandstorm will hold a sliding scale NSR royalty between 1.0%–2.25% based on the average quarterly gold price.

BONIKRO

The Bonikro gold mine is a producing gold-silver mine located in Cotê d’Ivoire. The operation consists of two primary areas: the Bonikro mining license and the Hiré mining license. Gold has been produced from the Bonikro open-pit and through the Bonikro carbon-in-leach plant since 2008 with over 1.0 million ounces having been produced. Upon closing, Sandstorm will hold a variable Gold Stream on the Bonikro mine, whereby it will receive 6% of gold produced at the mine until 39,000 ounces of gold are delivered, then 3.5% of gold produced until 61,750 ounces of gold have been delivered, then 2% thereafter. Under the agreement, Sandstorm will make ongoing cash payments of $400 per ounce of gold delivered.

CASERONES

The Caserones copper mine is an open-pit operation located in the Atacama region of Chile, owned and operated by Minera Lumina Copper Chile, which is indirectly owned by JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation. The Caserones mine has over five years of operational history. In 2020, the Caserones mine produced 127,000 tonnes of copper and 2,453 tonnes of molybdenum. The mine benefits from a significant historical investment of $4.2 billion, well-established infrastructure and is expected to produce significant volumes of copper and molybdenum over the long-term. Upon closing, Sandstorm’s royalty interest will be an effective 0.63% NSR royalty on the Caserones mine (at copper prices above $1.25 per pound).

BLYVOOR

The Blyvoor gold mine is an underground operation located on the Witwatersrand gold belt, South Africa, and commenced production in 1942. In June 2021, an updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report was filed on the Blyvoor mine outlining a 22-year mine life with 5.5 million ounces of gold in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves (18.84 million tonnes at 9.09 grams per tonne gold) and 11.37 million ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (50.08 million tonnes at 7.06 grams per tonne gold) inclusive of Mineral Reserves (cut-off grade of 479 centimetre-grams per tonne and 117 centimetre-gram per tonne, respectively). The current processing plant has a capacity of 1,300 tonnes per day. Based on Sandstorm’s review of current operating plans at Blyvoor, the Company is budgeting for long-term production rates of 60,000–80,000 ounces of gold per annum, based on conventional mining methods. Under the terms of the Gold Stream, until 300,000 ounces have been delivered (“Initial Blyvoor Delivered Threshold”), Blyvoor Gold Ltd. will deliver 10% of gold production until 16,000 ounces have been delivered in the calendar year, then 5% of the

5

remaining production for that calendar year. Following the Initial Blyvoor Delivery Threshold, Sandstorm will receive 0.5% of gold production on the first 100,000 ounces in a calendar year until a cumulative 10.32 million ounces of gold have been produced. Under the agreement, Sandstorm will make ongoing payments of $572 per ounce of gold delivered.

BaseCore Royalty Package

In July 2022, the Company acquired nine royalties and one stream from BaseCore Metals LP (“BaseCore”) for $425 million in cash and approximately 13.5 million common shares of Sandstorm (the “BaseCore Transaction”). The royalty package includes exposure to high quality, long-life assets of which three are on currently producing assets. Key assets underlying the BaseCore Transaction include:

ANTAMINA

Antamina is an open-pit copper mine located in the Andes Mountain range of Peru, 270 kilometres north of Lima. It is the world’s third-largest copper mine on a copper equivalent (“CuEq”) basis, producing approximately 560,000 CuEq tonnes per annum. Antamina has been in consistent production since 2001, including a throughput expansion completed in 2012 to the mine’s current operating capacity of 145,000 tonnes per day. Since 2006, the 1.66% net profits interest (“NPI”) has approximately paid between $7–$42 million per year, with an average annual payment of approximately $19 million; the 2021 NPI payment was approximately $42 million. The asset operates in the first cost quartile of copper mines. The NPI is paid by a Canadian affiliate of Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) and is guaranteed by Teck.

CEZINC

The Canadian Electrolytic Zinc smelter (“CEZinc”) is located in Quebec, Canada, on a site situated on the St. Lawrence Seaway along major transportation networks that connect the processing facility to its end markets in the United States and Canada. The required permits from the government of Quebec have been received and commissioning is targeted for the second half of 2022. Sandstorm is entitled to receive 1.0% of zinc processed at CEZinc until the later of June 30, 2030 or delivery of 68,000,000 pounds zinc. Sandstorm will make ongoing payments of 20% of the spot price of zinc for each delivery. Noranda Income Fund, the operator of CEZinc, is guiding for 2022 zinc sales of 225,000-240,000 tonnes, including approximately 111,000-126,000 tonnes in the second half of the year.

HIGHLAND VALLEY

Highland Valley Copper (“HVC”) is located in British Columbia, Canada. Owned and operated by Teck, HVC has been in production since 1962 and produces both copper and molybdenum concentrates. Copper production in 2022 is anticipated to be between 127,000–133,000 tonnes, with an expected increase to 130,000–160,000 tonnes per year from 2023 to 2025. Teck continues to evaluate the Highland Valley Copper 2040 Project, which would extend the mine life to at least 2040, through an extension of the existing site infrastructure. Sandstorm holds a 0.5% NPI on HVC.

EL PILAR

El Pilar is a low-capital intensity copper project located in Sonora, Mexico, approximately 45 kilometres from Southern Copper Corporation’s (“Southern Copper”) Buenavista mine. Estimated Proven and Probable Reserves as of December 31, 2021 at El Pilar are 317 million tonnes of ore with an average copper grade of 0.25% (cut-off grade was determined based on metallurgical recovery and operating costs). Southern Copper anticipates that the project will operate as a conventional open-pit mine with annual production capacity of 36,000 tonnes of copper cathodes. Production is expected to begin in 2024 and the mine life is estimated at 16 years. Sandstorm holds a sliding scale gross returns royalty (“GRR”) after 85 million pounds of copper have been produced. A 1.0% GRR rate is expected, increasing to a 2.0% GRR if Southern Copper defines Measured and Indicated Resources (inclusive of Reserves) greater than 3 billion pounds CuEq. The royalty further increases to a 3.0% GRR if Measured and Indicated Resources (inclusive of Reserves) exceed 5 billion pounds CuEq.

HORNE 5

Horne 5 is a past-producing gold-silver-copper mine located in Quebec, Canada, owned by Falco Resources. An updated Feasibility Study was released in April 2021 that envisions an underground operation producing approximately 320,000 gold equivalent ounces annually over a 15-year mine life. Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves are 80.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.44 grams per tonne gold, 14.14 grams per tonne silver, 0.17% copper, and 0.77% zinc with an effective date of August 26, 2017 (NSR cut-off grade of CAD$55 per tonne). Falco Resources currently anticipates production to start at the end of 2025. Sandstorm holds a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Horne 5 project.

6

Horizon Copper

In July 2022, the Company entered into a number of definitive agreements with Royalty North Partners Ltd. (“Horizon Copper” or “Horizon”). The agreements, which are a continuation of the letters of intent signed in February and May 2022, further advance Sandstorm’s position as a pure-play precious metals streaming and royalty company. Additionally, the transactions position Horizon Copper as a competitive copper company with a portfolio of high-quality cash-flowing and development stage copper assets. Key highlights of the transaction include:

HOD MADEN AND ENTRÉE RESOURCES

In consideration for transferring Sandstorm’s 30% interest in Hod Maden, its equity interest in Entrée Resources Ltd. (“Entrée” or “Entrée Resources”) and the contribution of $10 million in cash, Sandstorm receives a flagship Gold Stream on Hod Maden, a $95 million debenture and an equity interest in Horizon Copper. With this transaction, Sandstorm intends to unlock additional value in Hod Maden through the re-rating of the asset as a Gold Stream in its portfolio. Highlights include:

• Gold Stream: Sandstorm will receive 20% of all gold produced from Hod Maden (on a 100% basis) and will make ongoing payments of 50% of the gold spot price until 405,000 ounces of gold are delivered (the “Delivery Threshold”). Once the Delivery Threshold has been reached, Sandstorm will receive 12% of the gold produced for the life of the mine for ongoing payments of 60% of the gold spot price.

• Debenture: The debenture is expected to bear an interest rate of SOFR plus 2% over a 10-year term, with a 3-year interest holiday. Principal repayments would begin once Horizon Copper begins receiving cash flows from its 30% interest in the Hod Maden project. Prepayment of the debenture can occur at any time prior to maturity without penalty. Under the terms of the debenture, certain additional principal amounts may be made available under limited circumstances.

ANTAMINA NPI

Sandstorm entered into an agreement with Horizon Copper to sell a portion of the Antamina copper royalty acquired in the BaseCore acquisition and in consideration receive a combination of a silver stream, debt, equity, and cash (“Horizon Antamina Agreement”). The full consideration that Horizon will issue to Sandstorm under the agreement includes:

• 1.66% Antamina Silver Stream: Sandstorm will receive 1.66% of silver based on production from the Antamina mine with ongoing payments equal to 2.5% of the silver spot price.

• 0.55% Antamina Royalty: Sandstorm will receive approximately one-third of the Antamina NPI, paid net of the Antamina silver stream servicing commitments.

• Debenture and Cash Payment: Sandstorm will be issued a debenture of between $105 million to $150 million (dependent on size of equity raise). The debenture is expected to bear an interest rate of approximately 3% over a 10-year term. Principal repayments are subject to a 100% cash sweep of the excess cash flow Horizon receives from the 1.66% Antamina NPI after the Antamina silver stream and Antamina residual royalty obligations are paid. Prepayment of the debenture can occur at any time prior to maturity without penalty. Horizon will also raise $20 million–$50 million by way of an equity financing, which will then be payable to Sandstorm on closing of the Horizon Antamina Agreement.

• Horizon Copper Shares: Sandstorm will be issued sufficient Horizon Copper shares to maintain it’s 34% equity interest.

The transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including but not limited to, securityholder approval. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022.

Horizon Copper’s business intent is to actively grow its existing portfolio of assets, with a focus on copper projects. The two companies may partner together whereby Sandstorm purchases streams on the precious metal by-products from the base metal project acquisitions made by Horizon. This transformative transaction provides Horizon Copper with the size and scale required to grow and diversify the company, further strengthening the strategic partnership opportunities with Sandstorm.

Sandbox Royalties

In June 2022, Equinox Gold and Sandstorm each closed their previously announced purchase and sale agreements with Sandbox Royalties Corp. (“Sandbox”) whereby Sandbox acquired a portfolio of royalties from both Equinox Gold and Sandstorm. Under the terms of the agreement, Sandstorm received $65 million composed of 34 million common shares of Sandbox at a price of CAD0.70 per share, a $15 million cash payment and a $31.4 million 10-year secured convertible promissory note. A gain of $22.7 million was recognized by Sandstorm on disposal of its royalties.

7

As a result of this transaction, Sandstorm’s position on a fully diluted basis is greater than 20%. As a result of this ownership position, the Company concluded that it has significant influence over Sandbox and as such, it is accounted for under the equity method. As at June 30, 2022, this position represents approximately 20.1% of the common shares of Sandbox on a non-diluted basis. The initial cost of the associate includes the fair value of the common shares held. The Company records its share of Sandbox’s profit or loss including adjustments, where appropriate, to give effect to uniform accounting policies.

Sandbox will have exposure to a range of resource royalties including gold, silver, copper, zinc, graphite and uranium, immediate cash flow from producing royalties and significant leverage to strengthening metal prices and resource growth. Sandstorm and Equinox Gold will hold significant equity positions in Sandbox, providing the opportunity to participate in and facilitate the future growth of Sandbox.

Key Producing Assets

Yamana Silver Stream

Yamana Gold Inc.

The Company has a silver stream on Yamana Gold Inc.’s (“Yamana”) gold-silver Cerro Moro mine, located in Santa Cruz, Argentina (the “Cerro Moro Mine” or “Cerro Moro”). Under the terms of the Yamana silver stream, Sandstorm has agreed to purchase for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 30% of the spot price of silver, an amount of silver from Cerro Moro equal to 20% of the silver produced (up to an annual maximum of 1.2 million ounces of silver), until Yamana has delivered to Sandstorm 7.0 million ounces of silver; then 9% of the silver produced thereafter.

Based on the cumulative ounces of silver purchased to-date, the Company’s current silver entitlement is 20%.

The Cerro Moro Mine, which commenced commercial production in 2018, is located approximately 70 kilometres southwest of the coastal port city of Puerto Deseado in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina. Cerro Moro contains several high-grade epithermal gold and silver deposits, some of which will be mined via open pit and some via underground mining methods.

Chapada Copper Stream

Lundin Mining Corporation

The Company has a copper stream on Lundin Mining Corporation’s (“Lundin Mining”) open pit copper-gold Chapada mine located 270 kilometres northwest of Brasília in Goiás State, Brazil (“Chapada” or the “Chapada Mine”). Under the terms of the Lundin Mining copper stream, Sandstorm has agreed to purchase, for ongoing per pound cash payments equal to 30% of the spot price of copper, an amount of copper from the Chapada Mine equal to:

i. 4.2% of the copper produced (up to an annual maximum of 3.9 million pounds of copper) until the mine has delivered 39 million pounds of copper to Sandstorm; then

ii. 3.0% of the copper produced until, on a cumulative basis, the mine has delivered 50 million pounds of copper to Sandstorm; then

iii. 1.5% of the copper produced thereafter, for the life of the mine.

Based on the cumulative pounds of copper purchased to-date, the Company’s current copper entitlement is 4.2%.

Sandstorm holds a diverse package of royalties on several of Vale S.A.’s (“Vale”) assets located in Brazil. These royalties provide holders with life of mine net sales royalties on seven producing mines and several exploration properties covering a total area of interest of 15,564 square kilometres (the “Vale Royalties” or the “Vale Royalty Package”). Sandstorm’s attributable portion of the Vale Royalty Package is as follows:

Copper and Gold

• 0.03% net sales royalty on the Sossego copper-gold mine; and

• 0.06% net sales royalty on copper and gold and a 0.03% net sales royalty on all other minerals from certain assets.

Iron Ore

• 0.05% net sales royalty on iron ore sales from the Northern System; and

• 0.05% net sales royalty on iron ore sales from a portion of the Southeastern System (subject to certain thresholds described below).

Other

• 0.03% of net sales proceeds in the event of an underlying asset sale on certain assets.

Vale is one of the world’s largest low-cost iron mining companies, contributing approximately 15% of global iron ore supply. Vale’s iron ore production is in the first quartile of the cost curve and the Northern and Southeastern Systems have reserve weighted mine lives of 30 years.

NORTHERN SYSTEM

The Northern System is comprised of three mining complexes: Serra Sul, Serra Norte, and Serra Leste located in the Carajas District. In 2020, the Northern System produced 192 Mt of iron ore. Production capacity was 206 Mt at the end of 2020. Vale is currently executing plans to increase the Northern System’s production capacity to a long-term target of 240Mt per annum, which would be achieved via the approved expansion at Serra Sul and other growth projects. In addition, Vale continues to study a number of additional growth projects at the pre-feasibility or definitive feasibility study level which could enhance production from Sandstorm’s royalty grounds.

Mining commenced in 1984 at Serra Norte and, based on current Mineral Reserves, is currently expected to run through the late-2030s. Mining at Serra Leste and Serra Sul began production in 2014 and 2016, respectively and both systems are expected to produce beyond the mid-2050s.

SOUTHEASTERN SYSTEM

The Southeastern System is comprised of three mining complexes: Itabira, Minas Centrais, and Mariana located in Minas Gerais. These complexes will start contributing to the Vale Royalties once a cumulative sales threshold of 1.7 billion tonnes of iron ore has been reached, which Vale most recently estimated would occur in 2024 or 2025. Sandstorm estimates that approximately 70% of iron sales from the Southeastern System are covered by the Vale Royalties.

Houndé Royalty

Endeavour Mining Corporation

The Company has a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) based on the production from the Houndé gold mine located in Burkina Faso, West Africa (“Houndé” or the “Houndé Mine”) which is owned and operated by Endeavour Mining Corporation (“Endeavour”).

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income and cash flows from operating activities were $39.7 million and $33.2 million, respectively, compared with $8.6 million and $20.0 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase is attributable to a $9.5 million increase in revenue (described in greater detail below) as well as to a combination of factors including:

● A $22.9 million gain primarily due to the disposal of a portfolio of royalties to Sandbox for consideration consisting of common shares of Sandbox, cash and a convertible promissory note; and

● A $12.5 million gain resulting from the sale of the Company’s equity interest in Entrée Resources to Horizon Copper;

Partially offset by:

● Certain items that were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021, but that did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2022, including the recognition of a $5.9 million gain on the revaluation of the Company’s financial instrument related to the Vale Royalties which was both entered into and disposed of during the three months ended June 30, 2021;

● A $2.2 million increase in depletion expense largely due to an increase in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ sold; and

● A $1.0 million decrease in the gains recognized on the revaluation of the Company’s investments; whereby, a loss of $0.8 million was recognized by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2022; while during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million.

18

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue was $36.0 million compared with $26.4 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase is attributable to a 7% increase in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ sold as well as a 4% increase in the average realized selling price of gold. In particular, the increase in revenue was driven by:

● A $2.2 million increase in revenue attributable to the Mercedes mine which commenced making deliveries under the Stream in April 2022;

● A $2.2 million increase in revenue attributable to the Chapada copper stream primarily due to an increase in the average realized selling price of copper which increased from an average of $4.07 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to an average of $4.67 per pound during the equivalent period in 2022; as well as a 64% increase in the number of copper pounds sold;

● A $1.9 million increase in revenue attributable to the Vale Royalties, which were purchased in June 2021;

● A $1.3 million increase in revenue attributable to Vatukoula Gold Stream which commenced making deliveries under the Stream in December 2021; and

● A $1.2 million increase in revenue attributable to the Diavik mine largely due to diamond price increases and the timing of sales.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income and cash flows from operating activities were $48.8 million and $55.6 million, respectively, compared with $13.6 million and $43.7 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase is attributable to a $13.9 million increase in revenue (described in greater detail below) as well as to a combination of factors including:

● A $23.4 million gain on disposal of streams, royalties and other interests recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily resulting from the sale of a portfolio of royalties to Sandbox; and

● A $12.5 million gain resulting from the sale of the Company’s equity interest in Entrée Resources to Horizon Copper;

Partially offset by:

● Certain items that were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021, but that did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2022, including the recognition of a $5.9 million gain on the revaluation of the Company’s financial instrument related to the Vale Royalties which was both entered into and disposed of during the six months ended June 30, 2021; and

● A $3.4 million increase in depletion expense largely due to an increase in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ sold.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue was $71.3 million compared with $57.4 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase is attributable to a 7% increase in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ sold as well as a 5% increase in the average realized selling price of gold. In particular, the increase in revenue was driven by:

● A $4.9 million increase in revenue attributable to the Vale Royalties, which were purchased in June 2021;

● A $3.7 million increase in revenue attributable to the Chapada copper stream primarily due to an increase in the average realized selling price of copper which increased from an average of $3.88 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to an average of $4.56 per pound during the equivalent period in 2022; as well as a 30% increase in the number of copper pounds sold;

● A $3.3 million increase in revenue attributable to Vatukoula Gold Stream which commenced making deliveries under the Stream in December 2021. Of these deliveries, 350 gold ounces were in inventory as at December 31, 2021 and were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022;

● A $2.9 million increase in revenue attributable to the Diavik mine largely due to diamond price increases and the timing of sales;

● A $2.2 million increase in revenue attributable to the Mercedes mine which commenced making deliveries under the Stream in April 2022; and

● A $1.2 million increase in revenue attributable to the Relief Canyon mine largely driven by a 20% increase in the number of gold ounces sold partly driven by the timing of sales;

19

Partially offset by:

● A $2.6 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Santa Elena Mine largely driven by a 51% decrease in the number of gold ounces sold. The decrease is partly due to mining activity on concessions not subject to the Gold Stream;

● A $1.7 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Karma Mine largely driven by an 63% decrease in the number of Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ sold. The decrease is primarily due to the conclusion of the five-year fixed delivery period in accordance with the terms of the Gold Stream in the first quarter of 2021, reducing Sandstorm’s Gold Stream entitlement to 1.625% of production. In contrast, in the first three months of 2021, Sandstorm’s entitlement was 1,250 ounces per quarter; and

● A $1.3 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Aurizona Mine largely driven by a decrease in production.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the

Other Quarters Presented

When comparing net income of $39.7 million and cash flow from operating activities of $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, with net income/loss and cash flow from operating activities for the other quarters presented, the following items impact comparability:

● A $22.9 million gain on disposal of streams, royalties and other interests recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily resulting from the sale of a portfolio of royalties to Sandbox.

● A $12.5 million gain resulting from the sale of the Company’s equity interest in Entrée Resources to Horizon Copper.

● A $5.9 million gain on the revaluation of the Company’s financial instrument related to the Vale Royalties which was both entered into and disposed of during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

● The Company recognized gains and losses with respect to the revaluation of its investments, which were primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the Equinox and Americas Gold convertible debentures. These gains/losses were recognized as follows:

◾ During the three months ended June 30, 2022, a loss of $0.8 million was recognized;

◾ During the three months ended March 31, 2022, a gain of $0.2 million was recognized;

◾ During the three months ended December 31, 2021, a loss of $0.2 million was recognized;

◾ During the three months ended September 30, 2021, a gain of $0.2 million was recognized;

◾ During the three months ended June 30, 2021, a gain of $0.1 million was recognized;

◾ During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a loss of $1.8 million was recognized;

◾ During the three months ended December 31, 2020, a gain of $2.9 million was recognized; and

◾ During the three months ended September 30, 2020, a gain of $1.7 million was recognized.

● With the exception of 2020, Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ had seen an overall increase as a result of the acquisition of various assets including the Vale Royalties acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Houndé royalty acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Teck Resources Limited royalty package which consists of 52 royalties and was purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the Yamana silver stream and Chapada copper stream which were acquired in the three months ended December 31, 2015. In 2020, Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces¹ decreased as a result of COVID-19 related temporary suspensions at the mines from which Sandstorm receives royalty revenue or deliveries under its Streams.

Change in Total Assets

Total assets increased by $38.2 million from March 31, 2022 to June 30, 2022 as a result of (i) cash flow from operating activities; (ii) the Sandbox transaction; and (iii) the sale of the Entrée Resources investment in associate to Horizon Copper; partially offset by (i) depletion expense and (ii) a decrease in the valuation of investments. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company reassessed the functional currency of the associate which holds the Hod Maden Project. The assessment was triggered by the forecasted expenditures of the associate, the currency driving those expenditures and the underlying transactions, events, and conditions of the entity. As a result of that assessment, it was determined the functional currency had changed from Turkish Lira to U.S. dollars. As a consequence, the depreciation or appreciation of the Turkish Lira, which was the functional currency of the entity that holds the Hod Maden Project, relative to the U.S. dollar, which is the presentation currency of Sandstorm Gold Ltd. did not have a material impact on the recognition of currency translations adjustments in other comprehensive income during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Total assets increased by $3.7 million from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 as a result of (i) cash flow from operating activities; and (ii) an increase in the valuation of investments; partially offset by (i) a decrease in the Hod Maden interest due to the depreciation of the Turkish Lira, which was the functional currency of the entity that holds the Hod Maden interest, relative to the U.S. dollar, which is the presentation currency of Sandstorm Gold Ltd; and (ii) depletion expense. The depreciation of the Turkish Lira, partially offset by the increase in the valuation of investments, were largely responsible for the losses recognized through other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Total assets decreased by $20.1 million from September 30, 2021 to December 31, 2021 as a result of (i) repurchases of the Company’s shares in accordance with its normal course issuer bid; (ii) depletion expense; and (iii) a decrease in the Hod Maden interest due to the depreciation of the Turkish Lira; partially offset by cash flow from operating activities. The depreciation in the Turkish Lira as well as a decrease in the valuation of investments were largely responsible for the losses recognized through other comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Total assets decreased by $7.8 million from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021 as a result of (i) repurchases of the Company’s shares in accordance with its normal course issuer bid; (ii) depletion expense; (iii) a decrease in the valuation of investments; and (iv) a decrease in the Hod Maden interest due to the depreciation of the Turkish Lira; partially offset by cash flow from operating activities. The depreciation in the Turkish Lira as well as a decrease in the valuation of investments were largely responsible for the losses recognized through other comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Total assets increased by $10.1 million from March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021 as a result of cash flow from operating activities partially offset by (i) a decrease in the Hod Maden interest due to the depreciation of the Turkish Lira; and (ii) depletion expense. The depreciation in the Turkish Lira as well as a decrease in the valuation of investments were largely responsible for the losses recognized through other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Total assets decreased by $11.3 million from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 as a result of (i) a decrease in the valuation of investments; (ii) a decrease in the Hod Maden interest due to the depreciation of the Turkish Lira; (iii) depletion expense and (iv) repurchases of the Company’s shares in accordance with its normal course issuer bid; partially offset by cash flow from operating activities. The depreciation in the Turkish Lira as well as a decrease in the valuation of investments were largely responsible for the losses recognized through other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Total assets increased by $41.2 million from September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020 as a result of (i) cash flow from operating activities and (ii) an increase in the Hod Maden interest due to the appreciation of the Turkish Lira; partially offset by depletion expense. The appreciation in the Turkish Lira as well as an increase in the valuation of investments were largely responsible for the gains recognized through other comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Total assets increased by $1.3 million from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020 as a result of cash flow from operating activities; partially offset by (i) a decrease in the Hod Maden interest due to a devaluation of the Turkish Lira; and (ii) depletion expense. The depreciation in the Turkish Lira was largely responsible for the loss recognized through other comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Non-IFRS and Other Measures

The Company has included, throughout this document, certain performance measures, including (i) Total Sales, Royalties and Income from other interests, (ii) Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce, (iii) average cash cost per Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce, (iv) cash operating margin, (v) cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash working capital and (vi) all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per gold ounce on a by-product basis. 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. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently.

21

i. Total Sales, Royalties and Income from other interests is a non-IFRS financial measure and is calculated by taking total revenue which includes Sales and Royalty Revenue, and adding contractual income relating to royalties, streams and other interests excluding gains and losses on dispositions. Company presents Total Sales, Royalties and Income from other interests as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry. Figure 1.1 provides a reconciliation of Total Sales, Royalties and Income from other interests.

Total Revenue	$	35,968	$	26,446	$	71,333	$	57,443
Add:
Gain on revaluation of Vale Royalties financial instrument		-		5,887		-		5,887
Equals:
Total Sales, Royalties, and Income from other interests	$	35,968	$	32,333	$	71,333	$	63,330

ii. Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce is a non-IFRS financial ratio that uses Total Sales, Royalties, and Income from other Interests as a component. Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce is calculated by dividing the Company’s Total Sales, Royalties, and Income from other interests (described further in item i above) for the period by the average realized gold price per ounce from the Company’s Gold Streams for the same respective period. The Company presents Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis. Figure 1.2 provides a reconciliation of Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce.

Total Sales, Royalties, and Income from other interests1	$	35,968	$	32,333	$	71,333	$	63,330
Divided by:
Average realized gold price per ounce from the Company’s Gold Streams		1,866		1,796		1,876		1,787
Equals:
Total Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces		19,276		18,004		38,017		35,448

1 Prior to March 31, 2022, total Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces was calculated by dividing the royalty and other commodity stream revenue, including adjustments for contractual payments received relating to those interests, for that period by the average realized gold price per ounce from the Company’s Gold Streams for the same respective period. These Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces when combined with the gold ounces sold from the Company’s Gold Streams equal total Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces sold. The change in the calculation of the measure did not result in a change to prior periods.

iii. Average cash cost per Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce is calculated by dividing the Company’s cost of sales, excluding depletion by the number of Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces (described further in item ii above). The Company presents average cash cost per Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. Figure 1.3 provides a reconciliation of average cash cost of gold on a per ounce basis.

Cost of Sales, excluding depletion1	$	5,256	$	4,088	$	10,551	$	9,438
Divided by:
Total Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces		19,276		18,004		38,017		35,448
Equals:
Average cash cost (per Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce)	$	273	$	227	$	278	$	266

1 Cost of Sales, excluding depletion, includes cash payments made for Gold Equivalent ounces associated with commodity streams.

iv. Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost per Attributable Gold Equivalent ounce from the average realized gold price per ounce from the Company’s Gold Streams. The Company presents cash operating margin as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis.

v. Cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash working capital is a non-IFRS financial measure and is calculated by adding back the decrease or subtracting the increase in changes in non-cash working capital to or from cash provided by (used in) operating activities. The Company presents cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash working capital as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis. Figure 1.4 provides a reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash working capital.

In $000s	3 Months Ended Jun. 30, 2022		3 Months Ended Jun. 30, 2021		6 Months Ended Jun. 30, 2022		6 Months Ended Jun. 30, 2021
Cash flows from operating activities	$	33,198	$	19,998	$	55,560	$	43,720
Add:
Changes in non-cash working capital		(11,296)		(2,434)		(6,918)		(3,176)
Equals:
Cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash working capital	$	21,902	$	17,564	$	48,642	$	40,544

vi. The Company has also used the non-IFRS measure of all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per gold ounce on a by-product basis. AISC per gold ounce on a by-product basis is a non-IFRS financial ratio that uses AISC on a by-product basis, a non-IFRS financial measure, as a component. With respect to the Hod Maden project, AISC on a by-product basis is calculated by deducting copper revenue from the summation of certain costs (operating costs, royalties, treatment, refining & transport costs, sustaining capital, G&A, and other costs). AISC per gold ounce on a by-product basis is calculated by dividing AISC on a by-product basis by the payable gold ounces produced. The Company presents AISC per gold ounce on a by-product basis as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis. The calculation of the measure is shown below in Figure 1.5.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million (December 31, 2021 — $16.2 million) and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $21.1 million (December 31, 2021 — $26.3 million). As of the date of the MD&A, $416 million remains outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Loan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated cash flows from operating activities of $55.6 million compared with $43.7 million during the comparable period in 2021. When comparing the change, the primary drivers were an increase in the number of Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces sold and an increase in the average realized selling price of gold and copper.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had net cash outflows from investing activities of $47.9 million which were primarily the result of (i) the acquisition of stream, royalty and other interests including the Mercedes Gold Stream, the Vatukoula Gold Stream and other royalties; (ii) the acquisition of $28.0 million in investments and other; and (iii) a $3.8 million investment in the Company’s Hod Maden interest; partially offset by (i) $22.2 million of proceeds from the sale of certain stream, royalty and other interests; and (ii) $4.8 million of proceeds from the sale and redemption of a portion of the Company’s debt and equity investments and other. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net cash outflows from investing activities of $105.7 million which were primarily the result of (i) the acquisition of stream, royalty and other interests including the Vale Royalties and the Waterton royalties; and (ii) the acquisition of $6.7 million in investments and other; partially offset by the proceeds from the sale and redemption of a portion of the Company’s debt and equity investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had net cash outflows from financing activities of $5.5 million primarily related to (i) a $20.0 million draw down on its revolving credit facility; (ii) the subsequent repayment of $20.0 million under the same revolving credit facility as well as $0.9 million in related interest expense; and (iii) the payment of the Company’s dividend, partially offset by $1.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net cash outflows from financing activities of $5.9 million primarily related to the redemption of the Company’s common shares under the Company’s NCIB.

1 Subject to an annual inflationary adjustment.

2 For the CEZinc zinc stream, the Company has committed to purchase 1.0% of the zinc produced until the later of June 30, 2030 or delivery of 68.0 million pounds of zinc to Sandstorm.

3 For the Chapada copper stream, the Company has committed to purchase an amount equal to 4.2% of the copper produced (up to an annual maximum of 3.9 million pounds of copper) until the mine has delivered 39 million pounds of copper to Sandstorm; then 3.0% of the copper produced until, on a cumulative basis, the mine has delivered 50 million pounds of copper to Sandstorm; then 1.5% of the copper produced thereafter, for the life of the mine.

4 For the Entrée Gold Stream, after approximately 8.6 million ounces of gold have been produced from the joint venture property, the price increases to $500 per gold ounce. For the Entrée silver stream, the purchase price is the lesser of the prevailing market price and $5 per ounce of silver until 40.3 million ounces of silver have been produced from the entire joint venture property. Thereafter, the purchase price will increase to the lesser of the prevailing market price and $10 per ounce of silver. For the Entrée Gold and silver stream, percentage of life of mine is 5.62% on Hugo North Extension and 4.26% on Heruga if the minerals produced are contained below 560 metres in depth. For the Entrée Gold and silver stream, percentage of life of mine is 8.43% on Hugo North Extension and 6.39% on Heruga if the minerals produced are contained above 560 metres in depth.

5 For the Entrée copper stream, the Company has committed to purchase an amount equal to 0.42% of the copper produced from the Hugo North Extension and Heruga deposits. If the minerals produced are contained above 560 metres in depth, then the commitment increases to 0.62% for both the Hugo North Extension and Heruga deposits. Sandstorm will make ongoing per pound cash payments equal to the lesser of $0.50 and the then prevailing market price of copper, until 9.1 billion pounds of copper have been produced from the entire joint venture property. Thereafter, the ongoing per pound payments will increase to the lesser of $1.10 and the then prevailing market price of copper.

6 Under the terms of the Mercedes stream, after receipt of 25,200 gold ounces (the cost of which is 7.5% of the spot price), the Company is entitled to purchase 4.4% of the gold produced from the Mercedes Mine for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 25% of the spot price of gold.

7 For the Relief Canyon stream, after receipt of 32,022 gold ounces (the cost of which is nil), the Company is entitled to purchase 4.0% of the gold and silver produced from the Relief Canyon Mine for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 30%–65% of the spot price of gold or silver, with the range dependent on the concession’s existing royalty obligations.

8 Under the terms of the Vatukoula stream, after receipt of 25,920 gold ounces (the cost of which is 20% of the spot price), the Company is entitled to purchase 2.9% for the first 100,000 ounces of gold produced in a calendar year, and 2.55% for the volume of production above 100,000 ounces.

9 Under the terms of the Yamana silver stream, Sandstorm has agreed to purchase an amount of silver from Cerro Moro equal to 20% of the silver produced (up to an annual maximum of 1.2 million ounces of silver), until Yamana has delivered to Sandstorm 7.0 million ounces of silver; then 9.0% of the silver produced thereafter.

As previously disclosed, Sandstorm became aware that a third party commenced legal proceedings against it in a Brazilian court. The proceedings involve severance owed to former employees of Colossus Mineração Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary company of Colossus Minerals Inc. (an entity with which Sandstorm entered into a Stream). Since these severance claims, estimated to be approximately $8 million, remain outstanding, the claimants are seeking to recoup their claims from Sandstorm. Sandstorm intends on defending itself as it believes the case is without merit.

Sandstorm entered into an agreement to subscribe for shares of Americas Gold in an amount up to $5.4 million in the remainder of 2022, at the option of Americas Gold.

1 As at August 11, 2022, the Company had $416 million drawn and outstanding on the ESG Revolving Facility. The repayment date in the table above reflects the full term of the facility which matures on October 6, 2025, assuming no extension periods.

2 The amounts drawn on the ESG Revolving Facility are subject to an interest rate of SOFR plus 1.875%-3.5% per annum, and the undrawn portion of the ESG Revolving Facility is subject to a standby fee of 0.4219% - 0.7875% per annum, both of which are dependent on the terms of the ESG Revolving Facility and the Company’s leverage ratio. The interest charges have been estimated based on assumptions of the Company’s future leverage ratio. The ESG Revolving Facility incorporates sustainability-linked incentive pricing terms that allow the Company to reduce the borrowing costs from the interest rates described above as the Company’s ESG targets are met. The interest charges have estimated based on the assumption that the Company will continue with the same pricing adjustment to the debt maturity date. As the applicable interest rate is floating in nature, the interest charges are estimated based on market forward interest rate curves at the ending of the reporting period combined with the assumption that the principal balance outstanding at August 11, 2022, does not change until the debt maturity date.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had signed a 10 year lease for office space which commences in the second quarter of 2023. A portion of this space will be sublet. Under the terms of this agreement the minimum lease payments for the entire space, including the sublet areas, are $15.0 million over the lease term.

Share Capital

As of August 11, 2022, the Company had 205,731,491 common shares outstanding. As disclosed previously, the funds from the issuance of share capital have been used to finance the acquisition of Streams and royalties (recent acquisitions are described earlier in greater detail) and pay down debt.

In March 2022 the Company declared a dividend of CAD0.02 per share. The full amount of the dividend of $3.1 million was paid in cash in April 2022. In June 2022 the Company declared a dividend of CAD0.02 per share. The full amount of the dividend of $3.0 million was paid in cash in July 2022.

The Company’s at-the-market equity program expired in May 2022, without any shares being issued under the program.

A summary of the Company’s share purchase options as of August 11, 2022 is as follows:

Year of expiry	Number outstanding	Vested	Exercise price per share (CAD)1
2022	598,332	598,332	5.50

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other, short-term and long-term investments, loans receivable which are included in short and long-term investments, and trade and other payables. The Company’s short and long-term investments, excluding loans receivable, are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently revalued to their fair market value at each period end based on inputs such as equity prices. Investments are acquired for strategic purposes and may be disposed of from time to time. The fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other, loans receivable which are included in investments, and trade and other payables, approximate their carrying values at June 30, 2022.

Credit Risk

The Company’s credit risk is limited to cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in short and long-term investments, trade and other receivables and the Company’s investments in convertible debentures. The Company’s trade and other receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Sandstorm’s royalty portfolio. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets and maintains its cash deposits in several high-quality financial institutions. The impact of expected credit losses on trade receivables and financial assets held at amortized cost is not material.

The Company’s investments in debentures are subject to the counterparties’ credit risk. In particular, the Company’s convertible debenture due from Bear Creek and Sandbox Royalties are subject to their respective credit risk, the Company’s ability to realize on its security and the net proceeds available under that security.

Currency Risk

Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net income (loss) or other comprehensive income (loss) due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in investments, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the Company’s Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at June 30, 2022 a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net income by $3.1 million and would not have a material impact on other comprehensive income.

Other Risks

Sandstorm holds common shares, convertible debentures, loans receivable, warrants and investments of other companies with a combined fair market value as at June 30, 2022 of $93.2 million (December 31, 2021 — $29.1 million). The daily exchange traded volume of these shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, may not be sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting the market value of the shares. The Company is subject to default risk with respect to

27

any debt instruments. The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding these investments in other mining companies. The Company does not actively trade these investments. Based on the Company’s investments held as at June 30, 2022, a 10% increase (decrease) in the equity prices of these investments would increase (decrease) other comprehensive income by $1.7 million and would not have a material impact on net income.

Other Risks to Sandstorm

The primary risk factors affecting the Company are set forth below. For additional discussion of risk factors, please refer to the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2022, which is available on www.sedar.com.

The Chapada Mine, the Cerro Moro Mine, the Diavik Mine, the Aurizona Mine, the Fruta del Norte Mine, the Relief Canyon Mine, the Santa Elena Mine, the Karma Mine, the Black Fox Mine, the Hugo North Extension and Heruga deposits, the Mt. Hamilton Project, the Gualcamayo Mine, the Emigrant Springs Mine, the Thunder Creek Mine, MWS, HM Claim, Triangle Zone, the Bracemac-McLeod Mine, the Hod Maden Project, the Lobo-Marte Project, Agi Dagi and Kirazli, the Houndé Mine, Vatukoula Mine, the Vale Royalty Package, the Mercedes Mine, the properties underlying the Nomad Acquisition, the properties underlying the BaseCore Transaction and other royalties and commodity streams in Sandstorm’s portfolio are hereafter referred to as the “Mines”.

Risks Relating to Mineral Projects

To the extent that they relate to the production of gold or an applicable commodity from, or the operation of, the Mines, the Company will be subject to the risk factors applicable to the operators of such Mines. Whether the Mines will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including cash costs associated with extraction and processing, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade, and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices which are highly cyclical and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The Mines are also subject to other risks that could lead to their shutdown and closure including flooding and weather related events, the failure to receive permits or having existing permits revoked, collapse of mining infrastructure including tailings pond, as well as community or social related issues. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Mines becoming uneconomic resulting in their shutdown and closure. The Company is not entitled to purchase gold, other commodities, receive royalties or receive economic benefit from its interest in the Hod Maden Project, if no gold or applicable commodity is produced from the Mines.

No Control Over Mining Operations

With respect to its Streams and royalties, the Company has no contractual rights relating to the operation or development of the Mines. Except for any payments which may be payable in accordance with applicable completion guarantees or cash flow guarantees, the Company will not be entitled to any material compensation if these mining operations do not meet their forecasted gold or other production targets in any specified period or if the Mines shut down or discontinue their operations on a temporary or permanent basis. The Mines may not commence commercial production within the time frames anticipated, if at all, and there can be no assurance that the gold or other production from such properties will ultimately meet forecasts or targets. At any time, any of the operators of the Mines or their successors may decide to suspend or discontinue operations. The Company is subject to the risk that the Mines shut down on a temporary or permanent basis due to issues including, but not limited to economics, lack of financial capital, floods, fire, mechanical malfunctions, social unrest, expropriation, and other risks. There are no guarantees the Mines will achieve commercial production, ramp-up targets, or complete expansion plans. These issues are common in the mining industry and can occur frequently.

Government Regulations

The Mines are subject to various foreign laws and regulations governing prospecting, exploration, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, reclamation, historic and cultural resources preservation, mine safety and occupational health, handling, storage and transportation of hazardous substances and other matters. It is possible that the risks of expropriation, cancellation or dispute of licenses could result in substantial costs, losses, and liabilities in the future. The costs of discovering, evaluating, planning, designing, developing, constructing, operating, and closing the Mines in

28

compliance with such laws and regulations are significant. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance of such laws and regulations could become such that the owners or operators of the Mines would not proceed with the development of or continue to operate the Mines. Moreover, it is possible that future regulatory developments, such as increasingly strict environmental protection laws, regulations, and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property and persons resulting from the Mines could result in substantial costs and liabilities in the future.

International Operations

The operations with respect to the Company’s gold, other precious metals and other interests are conducted in Canada, Mexico, the United States, Mongolia, Burkina Faso, Ecuador, South Africa, Ghana, Botswana, Cote D’Ivoire, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guyana, Paraguay, French Guiana, Turkey, Sweden, Fiji and Australia and as such, the Mines are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, terrorism, international sanctions, hostage taking, military repression, crime, political instability, currency controls, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, the risks of war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits, approvals and contracts, illegal mining, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation, changing political conditions, and governmental regulations. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Mines in these countries. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use, mine safety and the rewarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Any adverse developments with respect to Lidya, its cooperation or in its exploration, development, permitting and operation of the Hod Maden Project in Turkey may adversely affect the Company’s 30% net profits interest in the project. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully convert its 30% interest in the Hod Maden Project into a commodity stream or royalty nor are there any assurances that the Company may be able to maintain its interest in Hod Maden if sanctions are imposed on Turkey or Lidya and its related entities. Any changes or unfavorable assessments with respect to (i) the validity, ownership, or existence of the Entrée Resources’ concessions; as well as (ii) the validity or enforceability of Entrée Resources’ joint venture agreement with Oyu Tolgoi LLC may adversely affect the Company’s profitability or profits realized under the Entrée Stream. The Serra Pelada royalty cash flow or profitability may be adversely impacted if the Cooperative de Mineração dos Garimpeiros de Serra Pelada, which hold a 25% interest in the Serra Pelada Mine, continue to take unfavorable actions. In addition, Colossus Minerals Inc.’s Brazilian subsidiary has payables in excess of $30 million and accordingly, there is a risk that they may be unable to repay their debts, resulting in insolvency and loss of any rights to the Serra Pelada mine. A failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests. The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Mines.

Income Taxes

No assurance can be given that new taxation rules will not be enacted or that existing rules will not be applied in a manner which could result in the Company’s past and future profits being subject to increased levels of income tax. The Company’s prior years’ Canadian tax returns may be audited by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”), and no assurances can be given that tax matters, if they so arise, will be resolved favorably. The CRA completed an audit of Sandstorm Gold Ltd.’s 2009 — June 2015 tax returns and issued a corresponding finalization letter in February 2019. Based on the letter received, there would be no adverse implications for the Company’s financial statements if the Company accepted the CRA’s proposed adjustments. The majority of the Company’s Streams and royalties have been entered into directly by Canadian based subsidiaries and are therefore subject to Canadian tax.

Commodity Prices for Metals Produced from the Mines

The price of the Company’s common shares and the Company’s financial results may be significantly adversely affected by a decline in the price of gold, silver, copper, zinc and/or iron ore (collectively, the “Metals”). The price of the Metals fluctuates widely, especially in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to, the sale or purchase of the Metals by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold, silver, copper, zinc and iron ore producing countries throughout the world.

29

In the event that the prevailing market price of the Metals are at or below the price at which the Company can purchase such commodities pursuant to the terms of the Stream agreements associated with the metal interests, the Company will not generate positive cash flow or earnings. Declines in market prices could cause an operator to reduce, suspend or terminate production from an operating project or construction work at a development project, which may result in a temporary or permanent reduction or cessation of revenue from those projects, and the Company might not be able to recover the initial investment in Streams and royalties.

Diamond Prices and Demand for Diamonds

The price of the Company’s common shares and the Company’s financial results may be significantly adversely affected by a decline in the price and demand for diamonds. Diamond prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including worldwide economic trends, worldwide levels of diamond discovery and production, and the level of demand for, and discretionary spending on, luxury goods such as diamonds. Low or negative growth in the worldwide economy, renewed or additional credit market disruptions, natural disasters or the occurrence of terrorist attacks or similar activities creating disruptions in economic growth could result in decreased demand for luxury goods such as diamonds, thereby negatively affecting the price of diamonds. Similarly, a substantial increase in the worldwide level of diamond production or the release of stocks held back during recent periods of lower demand could also negatively affect the price of diamonds. In each case, such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Information Systems and Cyber Security

The Company’s information systems, and those of its counterparties under the precious metal purchase agreements and vendors, are vulnerable to an increasing threat of continually evolving cybersecurity risks. Unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to these systems or the Company’s information through fraud or other means of deceiving the Company’s counterparties.

The Company’s operations depend, in part, on how well the Company and its suppliers, as well as counterparties under the commodity purchase and royalty agreements, protect networks, equipment, information technology systems and software against damage from a number of threats. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations.

Although to date the Company has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur such losses in the future. The Company’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain an area of attention.

Key Management

The Company is dependent upon the services of a small number of key management personnel who are highly skilled and experienced. The Company’s ability to manage its activities will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. The Company faces intense competition for qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Environmental

All phases of mining and exploration operations are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of government laws and regulations. Environmental legislation is becoming stricter, with increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and heightened responsibility for companies and their officers, directors, and employees. Continuing issues with tailings dam failures at other companies’ operations may increase the likelihood that these stricter standards and enforcement mechanisms will be implemented in the future. There can be no assurance that possible future changes in environmental regulation will not adversely affect the operations at the Mines, and consequently, the results of Sandstorm’s operations. Failure by the operators of the Mines to comply with these laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include

30

corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. The occurrence of any environmental violation or enforcement action may have an adverse impact on the operations at the Mines, Sandstorm’s reputation and could adversely affect Sandstorm’s results of operations.

Government regulation relating to emission levels (such as carbon taxes) and energy efficiency is becoming more prevalent and stringent. While some of the costs associated with reducing emissions may be offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation, Sandstorm expects that increased government regulation will result in increased costs at some operations at the Mines if the current regulatory trend continues. All of Sandstorm’s mining interests are exposed to climate-related risks through the operations at the Mines. Climate change could result in challenging conditions and extreme weather that may adversely affect the operations at the Mines and there can be no assurances that mining operations will be able to predict, respond to, measure, monitor or manage the risks posed as a result of climate change factors.

Solvency Risk of Counterparties

The price of the common shares and the Company’s financial results may be significantly affected by the Mines operators’ ability to continue as a going concern and have access to capital. The lack of access to capital could result in these companies entering bankruptcy proceedings and as a result, Sandstorm may not be able to realize any value from its respective Streams or royalties.

As the Company’s revolving facility is secured against the Company’s assets, to the extent Sandstorm defaults on its debt or related covenants, the lenders may seize on their security interests. The realization of security or default could materially affect the price of the Company’s common shares and financial results.

The Company’s Vale Royalties are publicly traded on Brazil’s National Debenture System. The daily exchange traded volume of the Vale Royalties may not be sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting their market value.

Health Crises and Other

Global markets have been adversely impacted by emerging infectious diseases and/or the threat of outbreaks of viruses, other contagions, or epidemic diseases, including currently, the novel COVID-19. A significant new outbreak or continued outbreaks of COVID-19 could result in a widespread crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn which could adversely affect the Company’s business and the market price of the common shares. Many industries, including the mining industry, have been impacted by these market conditions. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, it may result in a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, availability of credit, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Company’s business and the market price of the Company’s securities. In addition, there may not be an adequate response to emerging infectious diseases, or significant restrictions may be imposed by a government, either of which may impact mining operations. There are potentially significant economic and social impacts, including labour shortages and shutdowns, delays and disruption in supply chains, social unrest, government or regulatory actions or inactions, including quarantines, declaration of national emergencies, permanent changes in taxation or policies, decreased demand or the inability to sell and deliver concentrates and resulting commodities, declines in the price of commodities, delays in permitting or approvals, suspensions or mandated shut downs of operations, governmental disruptions or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. At this time, the Company cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations or financial results, due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread, the duration of the outbreak, and the length restrictions or responses that have been or may be imposed by the governments. Given the global nature of the Company’s operations, the Company may not be able to accurately predict which operations will be impacted or if those impacted will resume operations. Any new outbreaks or the continuation of the existing outbreaks or threats of any additional outbreaks of a contagion or epidemic disease could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business and operational results.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. The Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures includes, but is not limited to, the Disclosure Policy, the Code of Conduct, the Stock Trading Policy, Corporate Governance, the effective functioning of the Audit Committee and procedures in place to systematically identify matters warranting consideration of disclosure by the Audit Committee.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in the rules of the National Instrument 52-109 in Canada and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the United States. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes:

● Maintaining records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

● Providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS;

● Providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and

● Providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in internal controls of the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls 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

32

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 control. The design of any systems 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.

33

Forward-looking information in this MD&A includes, among other things, disclosure regarding: the impact of COVID-19 on the business, audits being conducted by the CRA and available remedies, management’s expectations regarding Sandstorm’s growth, Sandstorm’s existing Gold Streams and royalties as well as its future outlook, the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates for each of the Chapada Mine, the Cerro Moro Mine, the Houndé Mine, the Gualcamayo Mine, the Fruta del Norte Mine, the Santa Elena Mine, the Black Fox Mine, the Aurizona Mine, the Relief Canyon Mine, the Karma Mine, the Emigrant Springs Mine, the Thunder Creek Mine, MWS, HM Claim, Triangle Zone, the Hugo North Extension and Heruga deposits, the mines underlying the Sandstorm portfolio of royalties, the Diavik Mine, the Mt. Hamilton Project, the Hod Maden Project, the Lobo-Marte Project, Agi Dagi and Kirazli, the Vatukoula Mine, the Vale Royalty Package, the Mercedes Mine, the properties underlying the Nomad Acquisition, the properties underlying the BaseCore Transaction and the Bracemac-McLeod Mine. Forward-looking information is based on assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including but not limited to the continued operation of the mining operations from which Sandstorm will purchase gold, other commodities or receive royalties from, no material adverse change in the market price of commodities, that the mining operations will operate in accordance with their public statements and achieve their stated production outcomes, and such other assumptions and factors as set out therein.

34

Although Sandstorm has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

JUNE 30, 2022 | EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS

1 – Nature of Operations

Sandstorm Gold Ltd. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on March 23, 2007. Sandstorm Gold Ltd. and its subsidiary entities (collectively “Sandstorm”, “Sandstorm Gold” or the “Company”) is a resource-based company that seeks to acquire gold and other metals purchase agreements (“Gold Streams” or “Streams”) and royalties from companies that have advanced stage development projects or operating mines. In return for making an upfront payment to acquire a Stream or royalty, Sandstorm receives the right to purchase, at a fixed price per unit or at a fixed percentage of the spot price, a percentage of a mine’s production for the life of the mine (in the case of a Stream) or a portion of the revenue generated from the mine (in the case of a royalty).

The head office, principal address and registered office of the Company are located at Suite 1400, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3A6.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 11, 2022.

2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.

B. Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except as otherwise indicated.

42

C. Foreign Currency Translation

Effective April 1, 2022, the Company reassessed the functional currency of the associate which holds the Hod Maden interest. The assessment was triggered by the forecasted expenditures of the associate, the currency driving those expenditures and the underlying transactions, events, and conditions of the entity. As a result of that assessment, it was determined the functional currency had changed from Turkish Lira to U.S. dollars. As a consequence, the depreciation or appreciation of the Turkish Lira, which was the functional currency of the entity that holds the Hod Maden Interest, relative to the U.S. dollar, which is the presentation currency of Sandstorm Gold Ltd. did not have a material impact on the recognition of currency translations adjustments in other comprehensive income during the three months ended June 30, 2022. In accordance with the standard, the change in functional currency was applied prospectively.

3 – Financial Instruments

A. Fair Value Estimation

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As required by IFRS 13, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1  |  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Investments in common shares and warrants held that have direct listings on an exchange are classified as Level 1.

Level 2  |  Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Investments in warrants and convertible debt instruments held that are not listed on an exchange are classified as Level 2. The fair value of warrants, convertible debt instruments and related instruments are determined using a Black-Scholes model based on relevant assumptions including risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected warrant life which are supported by observable current market conditions. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly impact the Company’s results.

Level 3  |  Inputs that are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As at June 30, 2022:
In $000s	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

The fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans receivable which are included in investments, and trade and other payables, approximate their carrying values at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to their short-term nature. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

B. Credit Risk

The Company’s credit risk is limited to cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in short and long-term investments, trade and other receivables, and the Company’s investments in convertible debentures. The Company’s trade and other receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Sandstorm’s royalty portfolio. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets and maintains its cash deposits in several high-quality financial institutions. The impact of expected credit losses on trade receivables and financial assets held at amortized cost is not material.

The Company’s investments in debentures are subject to the counterparties’ credit risk. In particular, the Company’s convertible debenture due from Bear Creek Mining Corporation (“Bear Creek”) and Sandbox Royalties Corp. (“Sandbox”) are subject to their respective credit risk, the Company’s ability to realize on its security and the net proceeds available under that security.

C. Currency Risk

Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net income or other comprehensive income due to currency fluctuations include: cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in investments, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the Company’s Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at June 30, 2022 a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net income by $3.1 million and would not have a material impact on other comprehensive income.

D. Liquidity Risk

The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account the amount available under the Company’s revolving credit facility, anticipated cash flows from operating activities and its holding of cash and cash equivalents. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million (December 31, 2021 — $16.2 million). Sandstorm holds common shares, convertible debentures, warrants, investments and loans receivable of other companies with a combined fair market value as at June 30, 2022 of $93.2 million (December 31, 2021 — $29.1 million). The daily exchange traded volume of these shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, may not be sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting the market value of the shares.

44

E. Other Price Risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding investments in other mining companies. The Company does not actively trade these investments. The equity prices of investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices, the volatility in global markets as a result of COVID-19 and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Based on the Company’s investments held as at June 30, 2022, a 10% increase (decrease) in the equity prices of these investments would increase (decrease) other comprehensive income by $1.7 million and would not have a material impact on net income.

MERCEDES GOLD STREAM

In April 2022, the Company closed its previously announced $60 million financing package of Bear Creek to facilitate its acquisition of the producing Mercedes gold-silver mine (“Mercedes Mine”) in Mexico from Equinox Gold Corp. The financing package included a $37.5 million Gold Stream on the Mercedes Mine and a $22.5 million convertible debenture.

Under the terms of the Gold Stream, beginning in April 2022, Sandstorm agreed to purchase 25,200 ounces of gold over a 3.5 year period (the “Fixed Delivery Term”) and thereafter 4.4% of the gold produced from Mercedes Mine. During the Fixed Delivery Term, Sandstorm will make ongoing per ounce cash payment equal to 7.5% of the spot price of the gold. After the receipt of the fixed deliveries, the ongoing per ounce cash payment will increase to 25% of the spot price of the gold.

MING GOLD STREAM

On April 4, 2022, Rambler Metals & Mining PLC exercised its option to repurchase the Ming Gold Stream in exchange for a payment of $6.7 million in cash and 1,150 ounces of gold (the delivery of which is over the course of 18 months). A gain of $0.2 million was recognized by Sandstorm at the time of disposal.

HOD MADEN INTEREST AND ENTRÉE RESOURCES LTD.

In July 2022, the Company entered into a number of definitive agreements with Royalty North Partners Ltd. (to be renamed “Horizon Copper” or “Horizon”). The agreements are a continuation of the letters of intent signed in February and May 2022, which contemplate, among other transactions, the sale of the Company’s 30% interest in Hod Maden, its equity interest in Entrée Resources Ltd. and the contribution of $10 million in cash to Horizon Copper. In consideration, Sandstorm will receive a Gold Stream on Hod Maden and a portion of debt and equity in Horizon Copper. The transaction is subject to various closing conditions and is expected to close in the second half of 2022.

In contemplation of these arrangements, on May 26, 2022, the Company sold its equity interest in Entrée Resources Ltd. to Horizon Copper in consideration for a $33.8 million promissory note. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $12.5 million on the disposal of its investment in associate.

SANDBOX ROYALTIES CORP.

On June 28, 2022, the Company closed its previously announced sale of a portfolio of royalties to Sandbox as further discussed in note 4(b). As a result of this transaction, Sandstorm’s position on a fully diluted basis is greater than 20%. As a result of this ownership position, the Company concluded that it has significant influence over Sandbox and as such, it is accounted for under the equity method. As at June 30, 2022, this position represents approximately 20.1% of the common shares of Sandbox on a non-diluted basis. The initial cost of the associate includes the fair value of the common shares held. The Company records its share of Sandbox’s profit or loss including adjustments, where appropriate, to give effect to uniform accounting policies.

B. Stock Options of the Company

The Company has an incentive stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) whereby the Company may grant share options to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants at an exercise price, expiry date, and vesting conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors. The maximum expiry date is five years from the grant date. All options are equity settled. The Option Plan permits the issuance of options which, together with the Company’s other share compensation arrangements, may not exceed 8.5% of the Company’s issued common shares as at the date of the grant.

A summary of the Company’s options and the changes for the period is as follows:

	Number of options		Weighted average exercise price per share (CAD)1
Options outstanding at December 31, 2020		9,127,103		7.33
Granted		2,968,000		7.18

1 For options which were exercisable in British Pounds Sterling, the exercise price was translated to Canadian Dollars (“CAD”) using the period end exchange rate.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options as at June 30, 2022 was 2.87 years (year ended December 31, 2021 — 3.26 years). The weighted average share price, at the time of exercise, for those shares that were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was CAD8.51 per share (year ended December 31, 2021 — CAD7.74).

A summary of the Company’s options as of June 30, 2022 is as follows:

Year of expiry	Number outstanding	Vested	Exercise price per share (CAD)

C. Restricted Share Rights

The Company has a restricted share plan (the “Restricted Share Plan”) whereby the Company may grant restricted share rights (“RSRs”) to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants at an expiry date to be determined by the Board of Directors. Each restricted share right entitles the holder to receive a common share of the Company without any further consideration. The Restricted Share Plan permits the issuance of up to a maximum of 4,500,000 restricted share rights.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 1,926,500 RSRs outstanding.

1 Subject to an annual inflationary adjustment.

2 For the Chapada copper stream, the Company has committed to purchase an amount equal to 4.2% of the copper produced (up to an annual maximum of 3.9 million pounds of copper) until the mine has delivered 39 million pounds of copper to Sandstorm; then 3.0% of the copper produced until, on a cumulative basis, the mine has delivered 50 million pounds of copper to Sandstorm; then 1.5% of the copper produced thereafter, for the life of the mine.

3 For the Entrée Gold Stream, after approximately 8.6 million ounces of gold have been produced from the joint venture property, the price increases to $500 per gold ounce. For the Entrée silver stream, the purchase price is the lesser of the prevailing market price and $5 per ounce of silver until 40.3 million ounces of silver have been produced from the entire joint venture property. Thereafter, the purchase price will increase to the lesser of the prevailing market price and $10 per ounce of silver.

As previously disclosed, Sandstorm became aware that a third party commenced legal proceedings against it in a Brazilian court. The proceedings involve severance owed to former employees of Colossus Mineração Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary company of Colossus Minerals Inc. (an entity with which Sandstorm entered into a Stream). Since these severance claims, estimated to be approximately $8 million, remain outstanding, the claimants are seeking to recoup their claims from Sandstorm. Sandstorm intends on defending itself as it believes the case is without merit.

Sandstorm entered into an agreement to subscribe for shares of Americas Gold in an amount up to $5.4 million in the remainder of 2022, at the option of Americas Gold.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had signed a 10 year lease for office space which commences in the second quarter of 2023. A portion of this space will be sublet. Under the terms of this agreement the minimum lease payments for the entire space, including the sublet areas, are $15.0 million over the lease term.

15 – Subsequent Events

Nomad Acquisition

In May 2022, the Company and Nomad Royalty Company Ltd. (“Nomad”) entered into a definitive agreement whereby Sandstorm agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Nomad pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Nomad Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the Nomad Acquisition, Nomad shareholders will receive consideration of 1.21 Sandstorm common shares for each Nomad common share held. Having received the approval of both sets of shareholders, the Nomad Acquisition is expected to close in August 2022 (subject to receipt of all applicable court approvals and other customary conditions). Nomad is a high-growth precious metals-focused royalty company with a portfolio of 20 royalty and stream assets, of which seven are on currently producing mines.

BaseCore Royalty Package

In July 2022, the Company closed its previously announced agreement to acquire nine royalties and one stream from BaseCore Metals LP (“BaseCore”) for $425 million in cash and approximately 13.5 million common shares of Sandstorm. The royalty package includes exposure to high quality, long-life assets consisting of 10 royalty and stream interests, of which three are on currently producing assets. Concurrent with the BaseCore transaction, Sandstorm entered into an agreement with Horizon Copper to sell a portion of the Antamina copper royalty acquired in the BaseCore acquisition. In consideration, Sandstorm will receive a debenture of between $105 million to $150 million (dependent on the size of the equity raise), $20 million to $50 million in cash (dependent on the size of the equity raise), a non-controlling equity interest and a silver stream on the asset. The sale is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Horizon securityholder approval and Horizon meeting minimum equity raise requirements. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022.

Credit Facility

In July 2022, Sandstorm amended its revolving credit agreement allowing the Company to borrow up to $500 million with an additional uncommitted accordion of up to $125 million, for a total of up to $625 million (the “Revolving Loan”). The accordion of up to $125 million is subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions for the Nomad Acquisition. The facility maintains its sustainability-linked performance targets and incentive pricing. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company drew down $422 million on the Revolving Loan, of which $6 million was subsequently repaid.

The amounts drawn on the Revolving Loan are subject to interest at SOFR plus 1.875%–3.5% per annum, and the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loan is subject to a standby fee of 0.422%–0.788% per annum, both of which are dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio. With the amendment, Sandstorm’s leverage ratio covenant has increased to 4.75x, with step downs to 4.00x after five quarters. The Revolving Loan matures in October 2025, subject to an extension based on mutual consent of the parties.
