Canadian Malartic Partnership (Agnico Eagle & Yamana JV) - Odyssey Underground Project (3.0% NSR) - Odyssey Project Advancing on Schedule

The Odyssey underground project continues to display exploration success and is on track for initial production in 2023. On February 8, 2022, Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana") announced an updated mineral resource for the Odyssey underground project with a reported 2.35 million ounces of indicated gold mineral resources and 13.15 million ounces of inferred gold mineral resources (100% basis). It further disclosed that indicated resources increased by roughly 175% relative to 2020 mineral resource estimate as a result of successful inferred resource conversion and resource expansion drilling.

On February 17, 2022, Yamana disclosed that following the Canadian Malartic Partnership's positive construction decision in February 2021, the project has advanced on schedule and on budget. It further disclosed that in October 2021, the concrete pour to construct the 93-metre tall headframe was completed on schedule, in preparation for shaft sinking scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022. Underground development continues to advance in parallel, according to plan and, as of the end of 2021, the ramp from surface to the upper zones has reached the elevation of the third production level which also serves as the base of the first stoping horizon. Yamana further disclosed that the first underground mineralized material from Odyssey South is on track to be processed through the existing Canadian Malartic plant in early 2023. The Odyssey underground project is forecasted by Yamana to produce roughly 500,000 ounces of gold per year over an 18+ year mine life. Gold Royalty has a 3% NSR over a portion of the Odyssey Project.

Wallbridge Mining - Fenelon Gold Project (2.0% NSR) - Multi-Million Ounce Deposit Begins Realizing its Significant Expansion Potential

On January 10, 2022, Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd. ("Wallbridge") announced the approval of a C$70 million exploration program for 2022 which includes 115,000 metres of resource expansion and infill drilling at the Fenelon Gold Project. Wallbridge noted that the drilling will focus on adding resources to the 2021 resource open pit and within the gold system where drill spacing was insufficient for inclusion in its 2021 technical report for the project. The program will also aim to extend known gold zones and test extensions of mineralization. Wallbridge highlights the deposit remains open laterally in most directions and at depth.

Wallbridge noted "We see excellent potential to build on our track record of exploration success over the past years to further grow mineral resources at both Fenelon and Martinière in 2022, with most known mineralized gold trends remaining open for expansion, and additional opportunities within the existing resource footprints. After validating the multi-million-ounce potential of this emerging gold camp with a significant mineral resource estimate in 2021, we plan to maintain a similar pace of exploration work this year, with 8 to 10 active drills. We expect this program to deliver a number of catalysts for our shareholders over the course of 2022, as we update our mineral resource estimates for Fenelon and Martinière and will lay the groundwork for an economic study that will incorporate our properties across the Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend."

GoldMining Inc. - La Mina (2.0% NSR) - Announces Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for La Mina Project

On January 12, 2022, GoldMining Inc. ("GoldMining") released a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") report of the La Mina property.

Alastair Still, CEO of GoldMining commented, "We are extremely pleased with the positive economics demonstrated by this PEA on La Mina. This study represents a milestone for the Company as we have produced our first PEA and continue to advance our projects to unlock value for our shareholders and local stakeholders. With current metal prices well above the $1,600 per ounce gold and $3.39 per pound copper used in the PEA, the Project is highly leveraged to enhanced economics. We are also highly encouraged by the opportunities to build upon this PEA, including drill-ready targets at the nearby La Garrucha deposit which, on the last hole (LME-1106) drilled by the previous operator yielded 271 metres of 1.03 g/t gold and 0.13% copper."

The report estimates a life of mine of 10.4 years where 3.78 million tonnes would be mined with a 1.06 g/t gold equivalent at an operating unit cost of $15.58 per tonne processed with a total of 1.013 million gold equivalent ounces payable over the mine life.

The PEA is preliminary in nature, and there is no certainty that the reported results will be realized. Mineral resources used for the PEA included inferred mineral resources which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the projected economic performance will be realized.
