Gold stream deliveries from Andacollo were approximately 11,300 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately 5,100 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Higher deliveries in this period relate to higher grade and higher mill throughput in the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year period. Stream deliveries typically occur approximately six months after mine production, and are based on a fixed payability factor of 89%.

Current wording

Gold stream deliveries from Andacollo were approximately 9,800 ounces for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to approximately 8,000 ounces for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Previous wording

On July 23, 2026, Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) reported higher copper production in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year period driven by higher copper grades, stable operations and strong recoveries. Teck also confirmed 2026 annual copper production guidance despite the partial suspension of operations on July 17, 2026, due to the impact of severe weather conditions. Gold and copper grades have been relatively well correlated at Andacollo and gold production has tended to track copper production, although there can be no assurance that these correlations will continue in the future.

Current wording

On October 29, 2026, Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) reported that third quarter production was significantly impacted by extreme weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and flooding that resulted in an extended suspension of operations and a phased restart of processing activities. According to Teck, production improved progressively through the quarter as operations were restored and plant throughput increased in September and returned to full production by month end. Teck now expects 2026 copper production to be at the low end of the previous guidance range of 45,000 to 55,000 tonnes. Gold and copper grades have been relatively well correlated at Andacollo and gold production has tended to track copper production, although there can be no assurance that these correlations will continue in the future.

Previous wording

Previous wording

On July 28, 2026, First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (“First Quantum”) reported second quarter copper production of 43,997 tonnes, which was 10% higher than the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to contribution from the S3 plant, which was at construction stage in the same period last year. According to First Quantum, S3 throughput was sustained above design capacity in the second quarter, achieving the highest monthly processed tonnes in May 2026 since commissioning in August 2025, driven by higher operating time, strong utilization and milling rates. First Quantum confirmed that copper production guidance for 2026 remains unchanged at 175,000 to 205,000 tonnes.

Current wording

On October 28, 2026, First Quantum Minerals Ltd.

Gold stream deliveries from Mount Milligan were approximately 10,200 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately 8,200 ounces for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Increased gold deliveries in the current period resulted from higher gold grade experienced at the mine in the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to the change in mining sequence. Copper stream deliveries from Mount Milligan were approximately 2.65 million pounds during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately 1.44 million pounds during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Increased copper deliveries in the current period primarily resulted from differences in the timing of shipments and settlements during the periods, as well as higher copper recovery during the fourth quarter of 2025. Stream deliveries from Mount Milligan typically occur five months after mine production. Gold stream deliveries are based on a fixed payability factor of 97%, and copper stream deliveries are based on a minimum payability factor of 95%.

Current wording

Gold stream deliveries from Mount Milligan were approximately 10,700 ounces for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to approximately 14,800 ounces for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in gold deliveries in this period was primarily due to lower head gold grades in the three months ended March 31, 2026, due to a planned change in mining sequence, compared to the prior year period. Copper stream deliveries from Mount Milligan were approximately 2.4 million pounds during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to approximately 2.6 million pounds during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Revenue and the corresponding production attributable to our stream and royalty interests for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, were as follows:

Previous wording

The increase in our total revenue resulted primarily from higher average gold, silver and copper prices, new revenue from the Kansanshi stream and Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) and Horizon Copper Corp. (“Horizon”) assets, higher gold sales at Andacollo and Rainy River (included within “Other” stream revenue in the table above), and higher production from the Cortez Legacy Zone. These increases were partially offset by lower sales from Mount Milligan when compared to the prior year period.

Current wording

The increase in our total revenue resulted primarily from higher average gold, silver and copper prices, new revenue of $30.8 million from the Kansanshi stream, and $68.1 million from the Sandstorm Gold Ltd.

Previous wording

Cost of sales, which excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization, increased to $60.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase compared to the prior year period was primarily due to higher payments for stream deliveries resulting from higher metal prices (except for gold at Mount Milligan), new sales from the Kansanshi stream and Sandstorm and Horizon assets, and higher sales at Andacollo, Rainy River and Wassa. These increases were partially offset by lower gold sales from Mount Milligan when compared to the prior year period. Cost of sales is specific to our stream agreements and, except for Mount Milligan, is the result of our purchase of metal for a cash payment that is a set contractual percentage of the spot price for that metal near the date of metal delivery. For Mount Milligan, the cash payments under the stream agreement are the lesser of $435 per ounce or the prevailing market price of gold when purchased and 15% of the spot price for copper near the date of metal delivery. Separately, and in addition to the cash payments under the stream agreement, the Mount Milligan Cost Support Agreement provides for cash payments on gold and copper deliveries that are expected to begin after certain thresholds are met or earlier, if metal prices are below certain thresholds and if requested by Centerra.
