("Gold Royalties") as disclosed in Callinan's news release of July 31, 2012, Callinan announces the Convertible Debenture is fully convertible under its terms effective August 13, 2013, given that disinterested shareholders of Gold Royalties approved the creation of a new control person of Gold Royalties which Callinan would become upon full conversion thereof.
On full conversion of the Convertible Debenture into units in accordance with its terms, Callinan would beneficially own 6,750,000 common shares and 6,750,000 warrants (the "Warrants") exercisable to purchase 6,750,000 further common shares of Gold Royalties, representing approximately 23.64% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of Gold Royalties (the "Shares"), on an undiluted basis and without giving effect to the exercise of the Warrants or the conversion of any interest payable to Callinan and 38.24% of the issued and outstanding Shares of Gold Royalties on a partially diluted basis, giving effect to the exercise of the Warrants but without giving effect to the conversion of any interest.

Depending on its evaluation of these and other factors, Callinan may from time to time in the future increase or decrease its ownership, control or direction over the Shares or other securities of Gold Royalties through market transactions, private placement, subscriptions from treasury or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debenture and TSX Venture Exchange policies.
