Gold Royalty Announces Record First Quarter 2026 Preliminary Results
Vancouver, British Columbia – April 27, 2026 – Gold Royalty Corp. (“Gold Royalty” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: GROY) is pleased to announce its preliminary results for the first quarter of 2026 and dates for the release of its results for the first quarter, related earnings call and upcoming capital markets day. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Preliminary First Quarter 2026 Results
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company achieved record Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest* of $9.4 million and record revenue of $7.2 million. Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest* equates to 1,920 gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”)* in the first quarter, a 162% increase relative to the same period last year, and an increase of almost 80% from the previous quarter.
Gold Royalty maintains its 2026 full-year production guidance of 7,500 - 9,300 GEOs as released on March 18, 2026, with production more heavily weighted to the second half as DPM Metals’ Vareš mine production is expected to reach its full run rate of 850,000 tonnes per year in 2026 and as Fortitude Gold’s County Line mine ramps up after commencing operations in January.
David Garofalo, Chairman and CEO of Gold Royalty, commented: “2026 has started strongly for Gold Royalty. These new operating records reflect the success of our acquisition strategy, as recently acquired royalties on the Pedra Branca and Borborema mines contributed significantly to the quarterly result. We look forward to continued GEO growth as the year progresses.”
* Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest and GEOs are non-IFRS financial measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” below.
