Lawyers Royalty Acquisition

On March 24, 2022, we acquired a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on production from the Lawyers Project, currently operated by Benchmark Metals Inc., which is located in British Columbia, Canada. As part of this transaction, we also acquired a right of first offer (“ROFO”) for an existing 2.0% NSR royalty over the Ranch Project owned by Thesis Gold, Inc. that is located adjacent to the Lawyers Project.  We paid $8.0 million in cash consideration for the royalty and ROFO to Guardsmen Resources Inc. The Lawyers Project acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The $8.0 million cash consideration, plus direct acquisition costs, have been recorded as an exploration stage royalty interest (Note 3) within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets.

Khoemacau Silver Stream

On February 23, 2022, we made an advance payment of $10.0 million toward the option stream which increased our right to receive payable silver produced from Khoemacau from 90% to 93%, and on March 14, 2022, we made our final advance payment of $16.5 million toward the option stream which increased our right to receive payable silver produced from 93% to 100%. Cumulative advance payments of $265 million, plus direct acquisition costs, have been recorded as a production stage stream interest within Stream and royalty interests, net on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2022, $25.0 million of the subordinated debt facility, and $3.5 million of accrued interest remains outstanding on the Khoemacau subordinated debt facility, and these amounts are included in Other assets in our

consolidated balance sheets. Refer to our Transition Report for further details on the Khoemacau silver stream acquisition and subordinated debt facility.
