2025 Guidance

In 2025, we expect stream sales and royalty revenue of 105,000 to 115,000 GEOs. 2025 guidance is based on public forecasts and other disclosure by the owners and operators of our assets and our assessment thereof.

At Northparkes, we continue to expect higher grade open pit ore from E31 and E31N to contribute to stream deliveries through 2025. These deposits are expected to be depleted during the year, as previously announced. Development of the sub-level cave ("SLC") at E48 commenced in July 2024, with access to the first sub-level now substantially complete and commissioning expected to start in the third quarter of 2025. A concept study in 2024 included a gold grade of 0.41 g/t, with production from the E48 SLC expected to contribute to stream deliveries through the course of its ramp-up. The E48 SLC orebody currently has a mine life ending in 2034. A pre-feasibility study is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025.

Long-Term GEOs Outlook

We expect our business to deliver sales of 135,000 to 145,000 GEOs in 2029, representing a significant increase over current levels mainly driven by the following assumptions and operator guidance:

• Northparkes – The development of the E48 SLC as described above.

• Cerro Lindo – Pursuant to the stream agreement, a step-down in the stream rate from 65% to 25% starting in 2026.

• ATO – Production from Phase 2. We expect the annual cap on our gold and silver streams to be fully effective in 2029.

• Gunnison and Johnson Camp Mine – The ramp-up of Nuton operations at Johnson Camp Mine following production that is expected by the operator to start in the second half of 2025.

• Development and exploration stage assets – In the medium to long term, revenue from Tres Quebradas (Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd.), Koné (Montage Gold Corp.), Eskay Creek (Skeena Resources Limited), Gunnison and Johnson Camp Mine (Gunnison Copper Corp.), DeLamar (Integra Resources Corp.), South Railroad (Orla Mining Ltd.), Hope Bay (Agnico Eagle Mines Limited), Ana Paula (Heliostar Metals Ltd.), McCoy-Cove (i-80 Gold Corp.), and Fenn-Gib (Mayfair Gold Corp.).

The majority of GEOs expected in the 2029 outlook is derived from mines that are currently in production and supported by Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates. There exists further optionality above and beyond the 2029 outlook that is associated with exploration-stage projects that may be advanced to production during the interim period. Our 2029 outlook is based on metal price assumptions of $2,600/oz Au, $30.50/oz Ag and $4.00/lb Cu.

Quarterly Portfolio Updates

Australia:

• Northparkes (54% gold stream and 80% silver stream): Sales from Northparkes in Q4 2024 were 7,313 GEOs compared to 6,738 GEOs in Q3 2024 and 3,339 GEOs in Q4 2023. We continue to expect higher grade open pit ore from E31 and E31N to contribute to stream deliveries through 2025. These deposits are expected to be depleted during the year, as previously announced.
  
  Development of the SLC at E48 commenced in July 2024, with access to the first sub-level now substantially complete and commissioning expected to start in the third quarter of 2025. A concept study in 2024 included a gold grade of 0.41 g/t, with production from the E48 SLC expected to contribute to stream deliveries through the course of its ramp-up. The E48 SLC orebody currently has a mine life ending in 2034. A pre-feasibility study is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025.
  
  First production from the E22 orebody is expected during Evolution Mining Limited’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2029, subject to the completion of economic studies and board approval, with a reserve grade of 0.37 g/t Au. A SLC hybrid option study for E22 is expected to be completed by June 30, 2025.
  
  Additionally, exploration at the Major Tom deposit remains ongoing and has continued to deliver near-surface mineralized assays, including 89.0 meters grading 1.07% copper and 0.13 g/t gold. Major Tom is located within three kilometers of the processing plant. Work is progressing to determine whether a pit can be optimized at the deposit, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.

• Beta Hunt (3.25% GR and 1.5% NSR gold royalties): Royalties from Beta Hunt in Q4 2024 equated to 1,123 GEOs.
  
  The expansion project to achieve consistent mine throughput at Beta Hunt of 2 million tonnes per annum continues to advance, with recent capital investment focused on upgrades to primary ventilation, mine pumping and water supply. Infill drill data completed across the Western Flanks and A-Zone is also being incorporated into an updated resource model. Westgold Resources Limited continues to expect the mine expansion project at Beta Hunt to deliver increased productivity in 2025 and beyond.
  
  Drills continue to turn at the Fletcher Zone, a significant discovery at Beta Hunt that is interpreted to represent a new gold mineralized structure parallel to the Western Flanks deposit of the mine, 300 meters to the west. Western Flanks is currently the primary source of gold ore for Beta Hunt.

• Fosterville (2.0% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Fosterville in Q4 2024 equated to 947 GEOs. In February 2025, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") released an updated three-year outlook. The operator now expects Fosterville to produce between 140,000 to 160,000 ounces of gold in each of 2025, 2026 and 2027. Agnico Eagle also announced that an initial assessment has demonstrated the potential to increase production at Fosterville to an average of approximately 175,000 ounces of gold per year, with a ramp-up in performance potentially starting in 2027. Technical evaluations and drilling are ongoing to evaluate this potential.
  
  Year-over-year, mineral reserves at Fosterville remained relatively consistent at approximately 1.65 million ounces grading 5.37 g/t Auⁱ. Agnico Eagle expects to spend $26.3 million in exploration drilling at Lower Phoenix, Robbins Hill and new targets totaling over 84,300 meters in 2025.

Latin America:

• Cerro Lindo (65% silver stream): Cerro Lindo continued its strong year-to-date performance during the fourth quarter with sales of 7,088 GEOs. For full year 2024, GEOs from Cerro Lindo increased by 24% year-over-year due to improved operational performance, primarily driven by higher grades and enhanced plant efficiency. Ongoing exploration at Cerro Lindo is mainly focused on extending the mineralization of near-mine targets known as Orebodies 8B, 8C, 9 and 6a, as well as the Patahuasi Millay target located within Triple Flag’s stream area.
  
  Pursuant to the stream agreement, we continue to expect a step-down in the stream rate from 65% to 25% starting in 2026.

• Buriticá (100% silver stream, fixed ratio to gold): Sales from Buriticá in Q4 2024 were 2,402 GEOs. Throughout 2024, activities by illegal miners continued to weigh on operations at Buriticá, including underground confrontations. On January 20, 2025, the operator announced that it restarted gold production after an attack by an armed group of illegal miners. The attack, which targeted a substation, temporarily halted operations, but did not result in any injuries.
  
  Despite the ongoing presence of illegal miners, Buriticá was able to maintain overall steady operations throughout 2024. The operator continues to engage closely with the surrounding community on illegal mining with support from national institutions, including the National Police of Colombia.

• Camino Rojo (2.0% NSR gold royalty on oxides): Royalties from Camino Rojo in Q4 2024 equated to 890 GEOs. Orla Mining Ltd. ("Orla") announced that Camino Rojo produced a record of 136,748 ounces of gold in 2024. As a result, Orla achieved its improved full year 2024 production guidance of 130,000 to 140,000 ounces of gold, as well as a 19% beat versus the midpoint of initial production guidance of 110,000 to 120,000 ounces.
  
  Preliminary operator guidance for 2025 at Camino Rojo is 110,000 to 120,000 ounces of gold.

• Ana Paula (2.0% NSR gold and silver royalty): In January 2025, Heliostar Metals Ltd. ("Heliostar") announced the continuation of drilling and technical trade-off studies at its Ana Paula underground development project in Mexico. Heliostar plans to complete a feasibility study on Ana Paula by the end of 2025 to allow for a construction decision shortly thereafter.

North America:

• Young-Davidson (1.5% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Young-Davidson in Q4 2024 equated to 641 GEOs. In January 2025, Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos") released 2025 production guidance of 175,000 to 190,000 ounces of gold, with 2026 and 2027 production guidance of 180,000 to 195,000 ounces of gold for each year.
  
  As of December 31, 2024, Alamos estimates a mine life of approximately 14 years for Young-Davidson based on current underground mining rates. Notably, Young-Davidson has maintained a Mineral Reserve life of at least 13 years since 2011, reflecting ongoing exploration success. Alamos expects to spend $11 million on exploration at Young-Davidson in 2025. The deposit remains open at depth and to the west, with the current program focused on expanding the new style of higher-grade gold mineralization zones within the hanging wall. These zones are located close to existing infrastructure, demonstrating upside potential with grades well above the current reserve grade of 2.26 g/t Au.

• Florida Canyon (3.0% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Florida Canyon in Q4 2024 equated to 610 GEOs, with the asset achieving record annual gold production of 72,229 ounces in 2024. The previously announced acquisition of Florida Canyon Gold Inc. by Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra") was completed in November 2024. Integra is advancing optimization studies on Florida Canyon with an outlook expected to be introduced in the first quarter of 2025, as well as a drill program focused to the north and south of the mine. According to the operator, minimal exploration work has been completed at Florida Canyon over the past twenty years.

• Gunnison and Johnson Camp Mine (3.5% to 16.5% copper stream and 1.5% GR copper royalty): On May 15, 2024, Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto venture, announced that it elected to proceed to Stage 2 of a two-stage work program on the use of copper heap leach technologies for primary sulphide mineralization at Gunnison Copper Corp.’s ("Gunnison Copper") 100%-owned Johnson Camp Mine ("JCM") in Arizona.
  
  Triple Flag owns a 1.5% GR copper royalty on JCM, which is also within the coverage area of the Company’s separate oxide copper stream on the Gunnison property.
  
  First Nuton copper production is expected by the operator in the second half of 2025. The site has an existing and fully operational SX-EW processing plant. Revenue from JCM will be used to pay back the costs of Stage 2 to Nuton and for the fulfillment of royalty and stream obligations, as well as other project costs.
  
  In November 2024, Gunnison Copper released a PEA for a conventional open pit and heap leach operation at the Gunnison property. The project is designed to produce more than 2.7 billion pounds of copper cathode over an 18-year mine life. Permit amendments required for an open pit and heap leach operation at the Gunnison property are through the State of Arizona, with no federal nexus.

• Eskay Creek (0.5% NSR gold and silver royalty): In December 2024, Skeena Resources Limited ("Skeena") announced that it expects to submit an Environmental Assessment application for the 100%-owned fully financed Eskay Creek gold and silver project in the first quarter of 2025.
  
  According to Skeena, first gold pour is on track for 2027 at Eskay Creek.

• Hope Bay (1.0% NSR gold royalty): In February 2025, Agnico Eagle declared an initial indicated mineral resource at the Patch 7 zone of the Madrid deposit of 4.3 million tonnes grading 6.64 g/t Au containing 0.9 million ounces of gold following a successful 2024 exploration campaignⁱⁱ. The inferred resource at Patch 7 has also grown year-over-year to 4.4 million tonnes grading 5.40 g/t Au containing 0.8 million ounces of goldⁱⁱⁱ. The operator believes that the exploration program at Hope Bay demonstrates the potential for a larger production scenario at the asset, with an internal technical evaluation expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.
  
  In consideration of the logistics of operations in Nunavut, Agnico Eagle is planning to invest $97 million in 2025 to upgrade existing infrastructure and advance site preparedness for a potential redevelopment, including the dismantling of the existing mill. A $20 million investment into an exploration ramp at Madrid has also been approved to facilitate infill and expansion drilling, and ultimately will be extended to Suluk and Patch 7. Separately, Agnico Eagle intends to spend approximately $41.9 million for 110,000 meters of drilling at Hope Bay in 2025.

• McCoy-Cove (2.0% and 1.5% NSR gold and silver royalty, partial coverage): In February 2025, i-80 Gold Corp. ("i-80") released a PEA for the 100%-owned Cove underground project located in Nevada. The project is currently designed to produce an average of 100,000 ounces of gold per year upon ramp-up over an eight-year mine life. Ore is slated to be processed at i-80’s Lone Tree autoclave or toll-milled at a roaster. Initial capital for the project is $157 million, benefitting from underground development work already completed, including a portal accessing the first deposit in the PEA mine sequence.
  
  A feasibility study for Cove is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025, which is anticipated to include infill drill work completed over the past two years. i-80 expects permitting to be completed by the end of 2027, with production commencing in 2029. Further exploration work is targeted to extend the mine life beyond eight years, including at the 2201 zone.

• DeLamar (2.5% NSR gold and silver royalty, partial coverage): In early 2025, Integra announced that the updated feasibility study to incorporate historical stockpiles into the design of the 100%-owned DeLamar heap leach project in Idaho is expected to be completed in 2025.

• Queensway (0.2% to 0.5% NSR gold royalty): In November 2024, New Found Gold Corp. ("New Found") announced the initiation of work towards the completion of a maiden resource estimate and PEA for the 100%-owned Queensway project in Newfoundland by the second quarter of 2025. New Found is currently executing a 650,000 meter drill program at Queensway, which, to date, has delivered high-grade gold assays.

Rest of World:

• Impala Bafokeng (70% gold stream): Sales from Impala Bafokeng in Q4 2024 were 1,546 GEOs. Development of the asset’s value driver, Styldrift, remains ongoing, with a steady ramp-up expected to deliver improved efficiencies given current market conditions. In 2024, Impala Platinum Holdings Limited ("Implats") commenced a restructuring process at Impala Bafokeng to rationalize and optimize labor deployment across corporate and operational functions. The integration of processing facilities across the Western Limb operations of Impala Rustenburg and Impala Bafokeng has started, resulting in improved plant availability and recovery. Implats continues to expect monthly milled throughput of 230 thousand tonnes at Styldrift by the end of its 2027 fiscal year.

• Agbaou (3.0% gold stream and 2.5% NSR gold royalty) and Bonikro (3.0% gold stream): Sales from our stream and royalty interests in Agbaou equated to 532 GEOs and 362 GEOs in Q4 2024, respectively. Sales from our stream interest in Bonikro equated to 862 GEOs in Q4 2024.

• ATO (25% gold stream and 50% silver stream): Sales from the ATO streams in Q4 2024 were 372 GEOs. On March 15, 2024, Triple Flag entered into an agreement with Steppe Gold to acquire a prepaid gold interest. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made a cash payment of $5 million to acquire the prepaid gold interest, which provides for the delivery of 2,650 ounces of gold by Steppe Gold.
  
  On February 13, 2025, Triple Flag received the first delivery of 1,000 ounces of gold under the prepaid gold interest.

• Koné (2.0% NSR gold royalty, partial coverage): In December 2024, Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage") launched the construction of its Koné gold project in Côte d'Ivoire, with first gold pour expected in the second quarter of 2027. The engineering, procurement and construction management ("EPCM") contract has been awarded to Lycopodium, who have significant experience in Cote d’Ivoire. This includes the completion of Fortuna Mining’s Séguéla project in 2023 and Endeavour Mining’s Lafigue project in 2024, both completed on time and on budget.

Triple Flag does not own, develop or mine the underlying properties on which it holds stream or royalty interests. As a royalty or stream holder, Triple Flag has limited, if any, access to properties included in its asset portfolio. As a result, Triple Flag is dependent on the owners or operators of the properties and their qualified persons to provide information to Triple Flag and on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which Triple Flag holds stream, royalty or other similar interests. Triple Flag generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although Triple Flag does not believe that such information is inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate.

Endnotes

Endnote 1: Gold Equivalent Ounces ("GEOs")

GEOs are a non-IFRS measure that are based on stream and related interests as well as royalty interests and are calculated on a quarterly basis by dividing all revenue from such interests for the quarter by the average gold price during such quarter. The gold price is determined based on the LBMA PM fix. For periods longer than one quarter, GEOs are summed for each quarter in the period. Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance across our stream and royalty portfolio for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. GEOs are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measures are not necessarily indicative of gross profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles GEOs to revenue, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure:

Endnote 2: Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings is a non‑IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

• impairment charges and write-downs, including expected credit losses;

• gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests;

• foreign currency translation gains/losses;

• increase/decrease in fair value of investments and prepaid gold interests;

• non-recurring charges; and

• impact of income taxes on these items.

Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because impairment charges and write-downs, including expected credit losses, gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests, foreign currency translation gains/losses, increase/decrease in fair value of investments and prepaid gold interests, and non-recurring charges do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our core business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The tax effect is also excluded to reconcile the amounts on a post-tax basis, consistent with net earnings. Management’s internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the types of items we adjust for. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables users to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-IFRS measures used by industry analysts and other streaming and royalty companies. Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measures are not necessarily indicative of gross profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles adjusted net earnings to net earnings, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted Net Earnings

Endnote 3: Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non‑IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

• income tax expense;

• finance costs, net;

• depletion and amortization;

• impairment charges and write-downs, including expected credit losses;

• gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests;

• foreign currency translation gains/losses;

• increase/decrease in fair value of investments and prepaid gold interests;

• non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and other; and

• non‑recurring charges

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund acquisitions. Management uses adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes, whereby adjusted EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or ‘‘multiple’’ that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between adjusted EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.

In addition to excluding income tax expense, finance costs, net and depletion and amortization, adjusted EBITDA also removes the effect of impairment charges and write-downs, including expected credit losses, gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests, foreign currency translation gains/losses, increase/decrease in fair value of investments and prepaid gold interests, non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and other and non-recurring charges. We believe these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our adjusted net earnings reconciliation, with the exception that these amounts are adjusted to remove any impact of income tax expense as they do not affect adjusted EBITDA. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and our shareholders to better understand our ability to generate liquidity from operating cash flow, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core business and not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net earnings, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA

Endnote 4: Gross Profit Margin and Asset Margin

Gross profit margin is an IFRS Accounting Standards financial measure which we define as gross profit divided by revenue. Asset margin is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define by taking gross profit and adding back depletion and non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and other and dividing by revenue. We use gross profit margin to assess the profitability of our metal sales and asset margin to evaluate our performance in increasing revenue and containing costs and to provide a useful comparison to our peers. Asset margin is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The following table reconciles asset margin to gross profit margin, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure:
