Cautionary Statement
This presentation contains certain information that constitutes “forward‐looking information” and “forward‐looking statements” as defined under Canadian and U.S. securities laws. All statements in
this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, are forward‐looking statements. The words “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “contemplate”, “may”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “estimate”,
“forecast”, “target”, “budget”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements in this presentation include, without limitation, information as to
our strategy, projected gold production from the Young‐Davidson, Hemlo – Williams, Eagle River, Fosterville and Stawell mines, which are not owned by the Company, project timelines, the planned
2% net smelter return royalty on future production from the Kemess Underground mine, projected exploration results, resource and reserve estimates, projected production and costs of the Kemess
Underground mine, other statements that express our expectations or estimates of future performance, value growth, value creation and shareholder returns, the success of exploration activities,
mineral inventory including the Company’s ability to delineate additional resources and reserves as a result of such programs, mineral reserves and mineral resources and anticipated grades,
exploration expenditures, costs and timing of any future development, costs and timing of future exploration and the presence of and continuity of metals at Kemess East at modeled grades.
Forward‐looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management at the time of making such statements, are inherently
subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the
forward‐looking statements. Such factors and assumptions underlying the forward‐looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to: changes to current estimates of mineral
reserves and resources; fluctuations in the price of gold and copper; changes in foreign exchange rates (particularly the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar); performance of the Young‐Davidson, Hemlo –
Williams, Eagle River, Fosterville and Stawell mines, which may impact the future cash flows associated with the Company’s royalty holdings; the impact of inflation; employee relations; litigation;
uncertainty with the Company’s ability to secure capital to execute its business plans; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary
licenses, permits, authorizations and/or approvals from the appropriate regulatory authorities for the Kemess Underground project; contests over title to properties; changes in national and local
government legislation in Canada and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future; risk of loss due to sabotage and civil disturbances; the impact of global
liquidity and credit availability and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; as well as business opportunities that may be pursued by the Company.
Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward‐looking statements contained in this presentation. Such statements are
based on a number of assumptions, including those noted elsewhere in this document, which may prove to be incorrect. Readers are cautioned that forward‐looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance. All of the forward‐looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements.
There can be no assurance that forward‐looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on the forward‐looking statements or
information contained herein. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward‐looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms "measured", "indicated" and "inferred” resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be
assumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States
investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

• Meaningful production: 238Koz Gold Equivalent (AuE) annually for first 5 years, 207Koz
AuE over life of mine (LOM) (12 years)1
• Low cost: All‐in Sustaining Costs2 per AuE of US$682/oz for first 5 years, US$718/oz LOM
• Solid economics:
• After‐tax NPV (5%) of C$289M and IRR of 12.6% assuming $1,250/oz Au, $2.50/lb
Cu, and a C$/US$ of 0.75
• After‐tax NPV (5%) becomes C$421M and IRR becomes 15.4% at $3/lb Cu
• Pre‐commercial production capital3 of C$603M (US$452M)
• Capital reduction opportunity exists by leasing all or a portion of the C$86M in
underground mobile equipment purchases
• Low risk: Project infrastructure is already in place (processing facility, grid power, access
road, camp, admin and maintenance facilities, etc.)
• Significant upside: Large (246Mt) of M&I resource (including 107Mt of reserves) situated
vertical to the extraction level (of the planned KUG panel cave)
• Potential further upside from Kemess East (including high grade core) – which
remains open in several directions
• Location: One of the best mining jurisdictions: British Columbia, Canada
• Advanced: Entering 180‐day Environmental Assessment review period in early May

2016 Outlook
Royalty revenue: US$6.6M – US$7.1M
After‐tax: US$5.7M – US$6.1M
Assumes gold price of US$1,150/oz; Every $50/oz change in gold price has
US$0.3M impact on revenue
G&A: ~US$2.5M (excluding stock based compensation)
Kemess Care and Maintenance: ~US$4.5M
Targeting a reduction of annualized C&M to US$3M or below by year‐end
Kemess project expenditures: US$1.5M – US$2.5M
KUG FS update, KE resource update, EA, permitting, and First Nations
activities
Kemess East exploration: US$1.7M
Expect to be FCF positive in 2017 following completion of this year’s investments
and with cost cutting measures being pursued at Kemess
