Outlook

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Maverix has total attributable gold equivalent production of 15,236 ounces⁽¹⁾. Based on its existing royalties and streams, the Company is likely to exceed previously announced guidance of 18,000 to 19,000 ounces.

"Maverix continues to have a strong 2018 with yet another record quarter for both production and revenue," commented Dan O'Flaherty, President and CEO of Maverix. "A number of our assets had positive news this quarter, highlighted by RNC Minerals' discovery at the Beta Hunt mine in Australia".

Royalty Asset Updates

• Beta Hunt: On September 9, 2018, RNC Minerals ("RNC") announced the discovery of the "Father's Day Vein", a new high-grade discovery area at the Beta Hunt Mine, from which RNC expects 27,000-30,000 ounces of gold. RNC had record quarterly gold production of 31,360 mined gold ounces for the third quarter 2018, a 199% increase from the third quarter 2017 and a 135% increase from the second quarter 2018. Final gold content estimates for a number of large specimens RNC has recovered from the Beta Hunt Mine, would rank them among the largest ever found.
  
  
  With two drills on site, RNC has begun a gold exploration program to expand upon the Father's Day Vein discovery. Drilling along strike from the Father's Day Vein discovery area in the A zone is already underway, with planned resource definition drilling targeting the Western Flanks structure poised to begin soon. RNC's technical team is continuing to work on understanding the sediment structures in the mine, which have the potential for additional high grade coarse gold.

• Hope Bay: TMAC Resources Inc. ("TMAC") reported record gold production of 33,100 ounces at Hope Bay for the third quarter, as the processing plant continues to exceed expectations for the pace of ramp up, having averaged 1,900 tonnes per day processed in October with a peak production day of 2,333 tonnes per day. Permitting for Hope Bay's Madrid and Boston zones is ahead of schedule as TMAC received the Project Certificate from the Nunavut Impact Review Board on November 12, 2018 and is expecting to receive the Type A Water Licenses in the first quarter of 2019.
  
  
  On November 12, 2018, TMAC provided an update on its 2018 exploration activity at both the Doris mine and the Madrid North deposit. Both drilling programs have continued to return high-grade gold assays and define high margin ore. Drilling at Doris has continued to upgrade confidence in and expand on the high grade BTD Extension zone, which remains open to the north. The 2018 drilling at Madrid North has focused on the core of the Naartok West and Naartok East zones, and has confirmed the continuity of both grade and width of mineralization, near surface, which has potential to provide significant high-grade ore early in the Madrid mine plan.

Processing rates continue to improve as the Company works through its ramp up of the mine and the mill. Coeur remains on track to publish an initial NI 43-101 Technical Report in the fourth quarter and expects around year-end to receive approval of the permit amendment application to operate at 1,000 tonnes per day.

• Mt. Carlton: On October 11, 2018, Evolution Mining Ltd. ("Evolution") announced that board approval had been received to progress the underground development, Stage 4 pit cut-back and relevant plant modifications at Mt. Carlton, which Evolution is confident will expand the initial underground reserves. Once the underground development is in place, additional drilling will commence to follow up on a number of promising drill intersections that were not originally included in the underground reserves or resources.
  
  
  Regulatory approval is required for commencement of the underground development. Evolution intends to lodge submissions to the Department of Environment and Science by the end of November. First ore from the underground is planned to be delivered in 2021.
