Appendix: Outline of a Precious Metals Streaming Transaction

A streaming transaction is a forward sale of a supply of precious metal calculated by reference to
underlying production at a particular mine owned by the stream seller.

In such a transaction the stream purchaser makes an advance payment, which represents a prepayment
of a portion of the purchase price, for metal equivalent to a fixed percentage of future precious metals
production or an amount of precious metals production linked to future base metal production from the
mine.

Typically ongoing payments are structured as a fixed price per ounce or a fixed percentage of the
prevailing spot price. The stream provides the stream purchaser with exposure to the precious metals
component of the mine as if it were a stand-alone operation.

The stream purchaser benefits from any production and exploration upside, but bears operational risk as
well as the producer. A stream does not carry any fixed annual delivery obligations, only a percentage of
actual precious metal production or an amount of precious metals production linked to base metal
production from the mine.

There is no requirement for the mine owner to change how it manages the mine’s operation.
