Ladies and gentlemen, convey you for opinionated by. My sanction is Brent, and I will beryllium your convention usability today. At this time, I would for illustration to invited everyone to nan Triple Flag Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Results Conference Call. All lines person been placed connected shut up to forestall immoderate inheritance noise. After nan speakers' remarks, location will beryllium a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you.

It is now my pleasance to move nan telephone complete to nan CEO, Mr. Shaun Usmar. Sir, please spell ahead.

Shaun Usmar

Thanks very much, Brent. Good morning, everyone, and convey you for joining america to talk Triple Flag's 4th fourth and afloat twelvemonth 2022 results. Today, I'm pleased to beryllium joined by my CFO, Sheldon Vanderkooy; our Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, James Dendle; our Vice President of Talent and ESG, Katy Board; and our Vice President of Finance, Eban Bari.

Turning to adjacent slide. 2022 was an important twelvemonth of transportation against our strategical and operational priorities astatine Triple Flag connected almost each metric, and we're each good positioned going into 2023 pinch nan enlarged level afforded to america by nan Maverix transaction. I position 2022 arsenic 1 of nan apical 3 aliases 4 astir consequential years successful our astir seven-year travel successful building this business. Our backing and concluding nan Cerro Lindo woody to get america connected nan representation successful 2016, doing nan Northparkes woody astatine nan commencement of COVID preparing nan business for a successful IPO during 2020, nan successful TSX IPO and modulation to nationalist life successful 2021, and now a disciplined measurement alteration on aggregate metrics during our first afloat twelvemonth arsenic a nationalist institution that included our largest woody pinch Maverix, nan New York Stock Exchange listing, and our inaugural Sustainalytics rating, increasing our dividends and caller quarterly and yearly records for nan business to sanction it a few.

Our squad is going to spell into much item successful nan slides ahead. On Slide 5, we announced nan US$606 cardinal Maverix transaction connected November 9, our largest transaction to date. The woody has grown our portfolio to 229 assets, pinch astir 80% of nan NAV coming from 29 cash-generating assets, offering our investors much than 90% precious metals vulnerability and favorable geographic concentration, pinch greater than 80% located successful Australia and nan Americas. We emerged pinch a nicely diversified portfolio, an enhanced shareholder register, a projected 27% summation successful GEOs for nan twelvemonth up to adhd to our 21% CAGR since 2017, and a portfolio of 200 exploration and improvement spot interests, offering our investors further maturation optionality beyond nan 140,000 GEO mean we've identified complete nan adjacent 5 years that requires nary further backing commitment.

The contiguous inclusion successful nan GDXJ and tenfold summation successful trading liquidity we've witnessed is being important and good confessed to nan transaction. Integration is basal to worth realization successful immoderate M&A transaction. I'm pleased to study that nan integration is successful an precocious shape and progressing good towards a accelerated conclusion, having only closed nan transaction 5 weeks ago. We tin corroborate nan transportation of our announced yearly synergies of much than US$7 cardinal will beryllium achieved. The breakdown is reflected connected this slide. I'm besides happy to study that we haven't discovered immoderate worldly surprises comparative to our expectations going into nan transaction now that we person nan keys to nan company.

Warren Beil has slated seamlessly into our squad arsenic General Counsel, offering valuable capability, acquisition and continuity to nan bequest Mavericx portfolio. We're besides pleased to invited Geoff Burns and Blake Rhodes to our Board, whose vice manufacture acquisition made an contiguous publication to nan depths and perspectives connected show successful our committee room yesterday. We're besides excited to invited Elizabeth Wademan to nan Board pinch her extended superior markets and assemblage experience. I'd for illustration to salary tribute to nan professionalism of nan Maverix guidance squad during this intensive play of handover, and definitive my gratitude to my squad who person done a singular occupation of absorbing this further workload during year-end demands while executing to a precocious standard.

I'll now move it complete to Sheldon to talk our financials for Q4 and nan financial twelvemonth we've conscionable gone through. Sheldon?

Sheldon Vanderkooy

Thank you, Shaun. We had a grounds 4th quarter, realizing complete 25,400 golden balanced ounces owed to a very beardown capacity astatine Cerro Lindo successful nan quarter. For nan quarter, our adjusted nett net of US$0.12 per stock was an summation to that of a twelvemonth ago, and our plus margins remained beardown astatine 91%. Our operating rate travel successful nan 4th was astir $37 million, which was different record, owed mostly to grounds golden balanced ounces that were somewhat offset by little mean metallic prices. For nan twelvemonth arsenic a whole, we realized results that were rather accordant pinch that successful 2021. Our golden balanced ounces were dependable pinch nan anterior twelvemonth contempt experiencing timing delays, which resulted successful our income and deliveries lagging underlying accumulation astatine Cerro Lindo, and nan headwinds of nan little metallic price, which resulted successful our metallic income translating into little golden balanced sales.

Adjusted net for nan twelvemonth equaled $0.40 per share, somewhat up of $0.39 per stock realized successful 2021. I besides want to item that during 2022, we paid a full of complete US$30 cardinal successful dividends. Since our IPO, we person paid retired complete $45 cardinal successful dividends, straight sharing underlying rate travel pinch shareholders. In 2022, we accrued our dividend from an yearly complaint of $0.19 per stock to $0.20 per share. Our dividend is good covered for nan year, it represented 25% of rate flow, leaving important further rate travel for deployment into caller opportunities arsenic they coming themselves.

I'd for illustration to move to Slide 7 to show nan progression of nan business since our founding successful 2016. Triple Flag was formed successful May of 2016, and we acquired our first asset, nan Cerro Lindo Silver Stream successful December of that year, and we received our first rate travel successful January of 2017. Since that time, we person accretive grown nan portfolio, realizing complete $150 cardinal successful gross successful 2022 and poised for further maturation successful years ahead. After accelerated rate travel maturation successful 2019, 2020 and 2021, owed chiefly to expanding production, successful 2022, we realized results, which were mostly accordant pinch nan anterior year.

In 2022, our 84,500 golden balanced ounces resulted successful operating rate travel of conscionable nether US$120 million. This was pinch 2022 golden and metallic prices averaging $1,800 per ounce for golden and little than $22 an ounce for silver. Later successful nan presentation, James will speak to our five-year forecast of 140,000 golden balanced ounces. As we standard from our existent level of production, nan rate travel will standard accordingly, assuming accordant golden and metallic prices. Of course, if prices summation from existent prices, nan rate travel will summation moreover more. So we expect that rate travel will resume a people of maturation going forward, again assuming accordant prices arsenic nan embedded maturation successful nan portfolio is realized.

We person managed to support accordant margins of complete 90%. Even a fewer years ago, this didn't get nan level of investor attraction that it does now arsenic galore operators strive to support margins successful an inflationary costs environment. The protect separator characteristics are a existent item of nan streaming and royalty exemplary and it allows for a very effective translator of gross into rate travel for shareholders.

I'll now move it complete to Triple Flag's Vice President of Finance, Eban Bari.

Eban Bari

Thank you, Sheldon. Our ostentation resistant business continues to execute well, pinch a 91% separator realized during nan 4th quarter. This is accordant pinch our historical capacity and shows nan spot of nan royalty and streaming exemplary arsenic ostentation and cardinal slope argumentation proceed to beryllium headwinds for nan world economy.

Turning connected to Slide 9. We spot nan benefits of nan precocious margins being robust rate flow, highlighted by a grounds $37 cardinal successful nan 4th quarter. Our rate flows will alteration pinch metallic prices, but nan operation of precocious margins and debased overhead consequence successful accordant and dependable rate generation. We person returned US$45 cardinal successful dividends to shareholders since our IPO and look guardant to continuing this trend.

Turning connected to Slide 10, it highlights 3 very important aspects of our portfolio, being plus diversification, precious metals attraction and a portfolio which is predominantly centered successful nan Americas and Australia. Cerro Lindo was our biggest contributor successful nan quarter, pinch astir 37% of quarterly revenues being attributable to nan plus arsenic a consequence of catch-up successful deliveries. In nan past quarter, golden and metallic accounted for complete 90% of our revenues, amongst nan highest successful nan sector. By geography, nan state pinch nan top publication successful our revenues was Australia. And aft Australia, our portfolio was predominantly located successful mining-friendly jurisdictions successful nan Americas.

Now passing connected to James.

James Dendle

Thanks, Eban. Page 11 tracks our maturation from nan founding of Triple Flag successful 2016 pinch nan acquisition of nan Cerro Lindo Silver Stream, which remains our largest azygous GEO contributor. From that period, Triple Flag has grown astatine a sector-leading rate, driven by beardown capacity of nan underlying operations, specified arsenic Cerro Lindo and Fosterville arsenic good arsenic nan disciplined acquisition of streams and royalties to our latest acquisition of Maverix. Looking forward, GEO guidance for 2023 stands astatine 100,000 to 110,000 GEOs, which increases to complete 140,000 GEOs connected mean for nan play 2024 to 2028, for our longer-term outlook.

I will spell into further specifications connected nan drivers of some figures connected nan adjacent page. While 2022 and nan 4th fourth represented income records, our portfolio was impacted by transportation and timing and nan gold-silver ratio. The 2023 guidance assumes nan continuation of akin lacks, peculiarly regarding Cerro Lindo ore settlement, and assets that are ramping up, and a persistence of a higher-than-historical mean gold-silver ratio. Certain handicaps wherever due to relationship for nan caller operational capacity person been included.

Of note, a information of Northparkes GEOs will beryllium deferred from 2023 to 2024, reflecting changes successful nan mill provender blending from each sources of different golden people contribution, specifically nan deferral of ore from nan higher-grade E31 North unfastened pit that is expected to commencement up towards nan extremity of 2023. This is owed to Northparkes readying to excavation and accrued measurement of nan E26 Lift 1 North Cave successful bid to optimize cave productivity and wide description , which – and extraction, sorry, which runs into a capacity constraint astatine nan plant, which is astir 7.8 cardinal tonnes versus nan nameplate capacity of 7.6 cardinal tonnes.

Fosterville's 2022 accumulation was little than forecast, chiefly owed to nan operating restrictions related to debased wave sound and little golden grades than anticipated successful nan 4th fourth of 2022. The operating constraints related to debased wave sound person been assumed to proceed successful 2023, resulting successful a deferral of astir 3,000 GEOs attributable to Triple Flag for nan year.

Negligible GEOs are assumed from building and ramp-up assets, specifically Pumpkin Hollow and Gunnison until existent capacity is demonstrated, though some projects look to beryllium making coagulated progress.

Royal Bafokeng Platinum knowledgeable operational disruptions successful precocious Q3 2022 arsenic a consequence of a tragic underground mobile-equipment-related fatality and nan ensuing investigation. This will effect 2023 GEOs owed to nan timing lag betwixt excavation production, smelting, refining and metallic sales, resulting successful a deferral of those GEOs until early periods.

Together, these points represented a deferral of GEOs from 1 play to another. As antecedently indicated, nary publication from nan Omolon royalty has been assumed, neither nan 2023 guidance, nor nan semipermanent outlook. Turning to nan semipermanent outlook. GEO income complete nan five-year play ending 2028, are expected to mean 140,000 GEOs per year, a important summation complete nan existent levels, chiefly owed to Northparkes, where, successful nan short-term, accrued golden accumulation from E31 North unfastened pit, and successful nan mean term, nan ramp-up of E22 deposits were – some of which big materially higher golden grades than nan existent run-of-mine provender forecast for 2023.

At nan building shape assets, nan restart and ramp-up of operations astatine Pumpkin Hollow and accumulation from Gunnison, commencing pinch nan existing Johnson Camp will adhd to GEOs. And we expect Agnico to resoluteness a low-frequency noise, regularisation issues astatine Fosterville. And finally, we expect nan completion of accumulation ramp-up astatine RBPlat Styldrift Mine, Buriticá and Beta Hunt.

The mostly of nan accumulation expected complete nan five-year outlook is derived from mines that are presently successful accumulation supported by mineral reserves. Above and beyond nan existent outlook exists further optionality associated pinch development-stage projects that whitethorn beryllium precocious during nan period. The semipermanent outlook requires minimal superior expenditure by nan plus operators and a number of nan improvement projects person been permitted, providing a low-risk outlook. The semipermanent accumulation outlook requires nary further backing from Triple Flag.

I'll now walk it backmost to Sheldon.

Sheldon Vanderkooy

Thank you, James. In summation to nan GEO guidance, we person provided further guidance arsenic to our expected depletion, G&A disbursal and Australian rate taxation rate. Based connected our guidance of 100,000 to 115,000 golden balanced ounces, we forecast our 2023 depletion to scope betwixt $65 cardinal to $71 million. At nan midpoint of nan range, we are forecasting depletion of $632 per ounce. In 2022, we realized depletion of $592 per ounce, which we expect to summation arsenic we relationship for nan ounces from nan Maverix portfolio pinch our stepped-up costs basis.

We are forecasting rate G&A for nan twelvemonth to beryllium $16 cardinal to $17 million, an summation from nan $11.3 cardinal realized successful 2022. The summation is owed to nan accrued standard from nan summation of nan Maverix portfolio arsenic good arsenic a afloat twelvemonth of being listed connected nan New York Stock Exchange. As Sean has already spoken to, we are delivering connected nan Maverix transaction synergies represented by payroll savings and duplicative third-party costs, specified arsenic insurance, audit, legal, rent and listing fees. These savings will beryllium realized complete nan people of 2023.

Noncash G&A is forecast to beryllium $5 cardinal per year. This chiefly consists of banal options, RSUs, DSUs. Triple Flag presently incurs rate taxes successful Australia connected our Australian royalties. Consistent pinch nan anterior year, we expect rate taxes to beryllium 25% connected nan Australian royalties. In summation to nan royalties connected Fosterville, Guards [ph], Stal and Hente, we tin now adhd nan Beta Hunt royalty to our Australian portfolio.

I'll now move it complete to Katy Board, Triple Flag's Vice President, Talent and ESG.

Katy Board

Thanks, Sheldon. Sustainability remains a halfway worth of Triple Flag. In nan 4th quarter, we received outer validation of our foundational attraction connected excellence successful ESG arsenic a superior supplier to nan mining sector, receiving our inaugural Sustainalytics people that classed america 4 of 114 companies crossed nan world precious metals industry. Further, we were awarded 2 supplemental apical badges for some region and industry.

We were besides accredited arsenic a awesome spot to activity successful Canada, highlighting nan outstanding worker acquisition and workplace culture, which we position arsenic a competitory advantage for our talent-obsessed statement astatine Triple Flag, wherever top-tier capacity is perpetually demanded from a small, high-quality squad of executives focused connected increasing worth per share.

We support decarbonization and nan modulation to a low-carbon economy. We are committed to maintaining c neutral operations. Since inception successful 2016, we person been c neutral, broadly defining our c footprint arsenic consisting of not only nan greenhouse state emissions associated pinch our nonstop business activities, but besides including our stock of nan emissions associated pinch accumulation of our attributable metals accumulation by our counterparties to nan constituent of saleable metals.

We achieved c neutrality and moreover received a third-party c neutral certification successful 2022 by offsetting our yearly c footprint done nan acquisition of accredited and verified third-party c offsetting projects. We proceed to target investing 2% of our nett income into organization and assemblage improvement done scholarships and different developmental programming.

Early successful 2022, we announced DE&I target of astatine slightest 30% women connected nan Board and 30% diverseness successful elder guidance by 2025, and are happy to denote that we person now surpassed our women connected nan Board target, and we’ll proceed to activity connected closing nan diverseness spread by 2025.

Shaun Usmar

Thanks, Katy. I want to extremity connected nan captious taxable of talent. We embarked connected a travel 7 years agone to build nan adjacent elder precious metallic streaming and royalty company. I judge our way grounds is revealing nan value of this squad and nan expertise to execute against our strategical objectives.

The attraction astatine Triple Flag is to turn worth per stock for our stakeholders done investing successful precious metallic streams and royalties successful a mode that adds worth to nan mining sector, some financially done offering patients, competitive, system finance done nan commodity cycle, and by enhancing nan sector’s privileged to run done our attack to executing connected our ESG strategy arsenic superior providers. It’s simply pragmatic.

We’ve outlined successful this little position nan galore achievements successful a consequential year, and compelling maturation outlook that has group america up pinch an enhanced level to proceed our worth maturation travel and to build connected nan momentum we person generated.

Our fortunes are straight related to nan value of our talents and really good we activity together. Our caller legalization is 1 of Canada’s awesome places to activity is an independent model into nan cohesion and power successful our ranks.

I judge that nan value of this squad and our taste exemplary is halfway to enabling america to execute to a precocious modular against our strategical objectives by making effective usage of our world networks for woody travel procreation and master owed diligence needs, applying sound business judgement to deals, allocating superior astutely and managing our portfolio effectively.

This squad civilization and attack has enabled america to establish, drawback up and past surpass our intermediate peers successful pursuit of our ambition to build nan adjacent elder precious metallic streaming and royalty business. Imagine nan possibilities pinch our enhanced level and this squad successful nan years to come.

We admit nan support and spot of our stakeholders, and we look guardant to providing further updates soon. Thank you. And pinch that, operator, I’m happy to reply immoderate questions.

Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Your first mobility is from nan statement of Cosmos Chiu pinch CIBC. Your statement is open.

Cosmos Chiu

Hi, thanks, Shaun and team, and congrats connected a very successful 2022. Maybe my first mobility is connected your 2023 guidance, 100,000 to 115,000 ounces. How person you incorporated nan Maverix plus into your guidance? More specifically, person you taken a caller look astatine immoderate of those assets aliases moreover build successful immoderate benignant of conservatism?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. Cosmos, look, firstly, convey you. I admit nan congrats and…

Cosmos Chiu

Hi, Shaun.

Shaun Usmar

Yes. Look, I deliberation arsenic you’d admit successful guidance setting, I deliberation we’ve tried to clasp nan aforesaid accuracy arsenic we thought we did a twelvemonth ago, namely putting successful a sufficiently precocious probability of successfully achieving that. I deliberation erstwhile we look backmost and said, what are nan factors that correspond a variance and mightiness we person done things differently, you’ll spot arsenic we’ve group guidance for nan twelvemonth ahead, a batch of those things were really timing related and value related alternatively than operational.

So for example, to conscionable accent nan point, comparative to our soul views of things for illustration our biggest GEO contributor, Cerro Lindo, nan existent operational capacity exceeded what we had assumed, but nan timing differences connected settlement, arsenic we benignant of conveyed, had impacted us. So erstwhile you look astatine nan wide picture, arsenic we effort to use judgement done various forecasting teams, which we person to past consolidate, you’ve fundamentally sewage a business wherever we’ve continued that.

We’ve applied that nan gold/silver ratio that we mentioned. And arsenic we deliberation astir Maverix, we’ve seen immoderate analysts include, contempt our guidance Omolon. We wanted to re-stress that we’re not assuming immoderate of that successful nan outlook. We understand that we person an entitlement that will possibly beryllium of worth successful years ahead, but we are not factoring that in. And complete supra that, I deliberation you tin deliberation of it arsenic successful statement pinch wherever we had expected and really rather level comparative to nan anterior year’s what we’re assuming successful nan contiguous year.

The only different variances that James has benignant of touched connected really successful guidance being astatine nan extremity of this process to conscionable immoderate caller marketplace updates. And specifically, if you deliberation astir Agnico’s latest views from Fosterville, to punctual you, we’ve really afloat recouped nan investments connected that aliases nan money we put into that.

They’ve done incredibly good exceeding nan first 2 years by astir 50% comparative to our expectations. Each year, they’ve really outperformed. And this past year, astatine nan backmost end, location was somewhat awkward and they guided materially little connected nan backmost of these sound restrictions, which I deliberation limit their operations from nan location of midnight done 6:00 a.m. These are not insurmountable things, and it’s really a timing facet arsenic we’ve benignant of communicated. So I’ll spot if James, I don’t cognize if there’s thing other you’d wish to adhd possibly aliases Sheldon.

James Dendle

I deliberation that’s a bully summary.

Shaun Usmar

Yes. So Cosmo, hopefully, that gives you a flavor. But arsenic you’d appreciate, we’re evidently trying to, arsenic always, beryllium as, I’d say, sensible astir providing thing that we person a decent assurance of being capable to achieve.

Cosmos Chiu

Of course, yes, that sounds great. And your guidance, I besides admit nan truth that you’ve put successful negligible publication coming from Gunnison and besides Pumpkin Hollow. James benignant of touched connected it successful nan prepared remarks. But could you still springiness america an update successful position of really that’s going? And apt won’t beryllium capable to reply my adjacent question, but immoderate benignant of clip statement successful position of erstwhile that could commencement perchance contributing?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. So I deliberation connected that akin accuracy that I conscionable shared pinch you, truthful really we effort to deliberation connected guidance setting, I’d opportunity nan first constituent is, erstwhile you look backmost astatine nan sector, nan mining assemblage arsenic a whole, and past you look astatine conscionable nan latest updates that are coming retired successful position of costs ostentation and deferrals, that’s affecting nan sector, I think, arsenic a whole. And I’d really opportunity to you that, if you moreover spell backmost to – I deliberation McKinsey did immoderate studies years ago. The backmost group aliases nan backdrop of execution successful non-inflationary situation for nan mining assemblage is for illustration 1 successful 5 projects being connected clip and connected budget.

We’ve ever handicapped our finance cases. But successful nan lawsuit of those 2 assets, until they show nan execution that is successful nan nationalist domain, we’re going to proceed to beryllium benignant of, I’d say, not bespeak that until specified clip arsenic we spot nan tally rate. The latest update that we received connected some assets are really very encouraging. We’re large supporters of Randy Buffington and nan team, which I deliberation we demonstrated past twelvemonth astatine Nevada Copper. We’ve been successful touch pinch nan squad and immoderate of nan partners successful nan past week, and I deliberation we’re very encouraged pinch nan advancement that they’re making. But there’s a quality betwixt what we’re seeing successful position of those indicators and liking nan squad and past really getting done arsenic they’re projecting successful Q3 pinch fundamentally bringing nan underground connected and feeding nan mill.

So that’s – those are nan milestones we’re looking guardant to, and I’d dream to beryllium capable to evidently positively constituent to that later this year. And connected Excelsior, you would person seen later – I deliberation earlier this morning, location was really issued a property release, I think, connected PA, which looks really good. They’ve announced nan Norton, Rio Tinto relationship, which we’re very encouraged by. They’ve received their permits for nan leach pad. And I deliberation we’re hoping that they’ll get there, frankly, rather delayed permits for nan good injection stimulation that they’ve been looking for, for immoderate time. And I dream they will get that reasonably soon.

Again, I deliberation that squad has ever displayed rather a pragmatic attack to doing things. They person maintained reasonable liquidity levels to execute their plans. We’re encouraged, but we’ll proceed to show and build that successful arsenic we spot nan progress. And past I’d opportunity conscionable nan past constituent possibly is, I don’t cognize if immoderate strategical – candidly an investor who is simply a bearish connected copper. Both these assets are copper successful a friends jurisdiction. They person important optionality. And I deliberation astatine a clip erstwhile you’re still seeing sticky ostentation connected execution of caller projects, having mostly sunk surely successful nan lawsuit of Nevada copper, nan capital, and it’s a mobility of execution connected nan ramp-up, I deliberation that places them rather well.

Cosmos Chiu

Yes, I agree. Clearly, copper has done rather good year-to-date. Maybe much specifically connected Excelsior. I publication successful your MD&A that location is Newton aliases Norton, nan copper leaching – heap leaching technology, nan caller technology. Maybe I’ve been astir for excessively long, but caller exertion ever somewhat concerns me. But possibly could you picture a spot much successful position of what’s going connected present pinch nan caller technology. And it sounds for illustration it’s only needed perchance for nan Johnson Camp. Is that true? Or is it for nan Gunnison arsenic well? And really does it – do you request this caller exertion for accumulation to happen?

James Dendle

Yes. I tin prime that up, Cos.

Cosmos Chiu

Hi, James.

James Dendle

The Nuton technology, which is simply a Rio Tinto task is specifically for leaching sulfide mineralization and would apt person immoderate applicability to nan transitional mineralization. The precocious portion of nan Johnson Camp is an oxide ore body, and nan Gunnison deposits, arsenic it relates to successful situ leaching, is an oxide ore body. So for nan oxide, accepted solutions that 1 uses successful copper heap leaches are applicable. So there’s nary request for nan sulfide leach exertion to activity successful bid to present nan oxide arsenic contemplated neither Gunnison aliases nan Johnson Camp. So it’s very simply an opportunity supra and beyond what we ever envisaged for nan project, rather frankly. Sulfide leaching has been astir for a while, but erstwhile we first looked astatine this project, it was not a feature. So that’s a benefit.

It’s besides worthy pointing retired that Johnson Camp excavation was mined rather successfully successful nan past and nan anterior operators mostly sewage into problem erstwhile they started trying to usage accepted oxide heap leach connected sulfide material, which, of course, is ne'er going to work. So nan oxide cognition arsenic planned for Johnson Camp has a bully history and a batch of potential. So nan company’s attraction remains connected going successful situ leaching up and running, but nan Johnson Camp oxide modulation successful sulfide is immoderate upside.

Shaun Usmar

And Cosmos conscionable to adhd that, our finance lawsuit ne'er contemplated, one, nan delays to nan grade we’ve knowledgeable them, but I ne'er contemplated metallic from nan Johnson Camp. So that’s complete and supra what we underwrote.

Cosmos Chiu

Yes. Understood. Thanks again. Those each nan questions I have. Thanks again for answering each nan questions.

Shaun Usmar

Thanks truthful much. Operator, immoderate different questions.

Operator

Your adjacent mobility is from Fahad Tariq pinch Credit Suisse. Your statement is open.

Fahad Tariq

Hi. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. Just looking astatine nan 2023 guidance again, is it adjacent to opportunity that had it not been for nan Maverix transaction, conscionable fixed each nan operational issues astatine nan underlying excavation that astatine nan bequest Triple Flag mines, it would person been level aliases moreover little accumulation year-over-year?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. I deliberation nan measurement we benignant of qualify it is rather level connected nan presumption that we’re not building successful immoderate of those ramping plus volumes, much blimpish comparative to humanities pricing scenarios and things of that nature. So arsenic you’d appreciate, pinch nan squad that group retired arsenic a benignant of first twelvemonth issuer to supply guidance that we thought was very precocious probability, and they’re missing that past twelvemonth was a disappointment, that has been a very beardown attraction for us, and we’ve built that in. So hopefully, that gives you a consciousness of it. But our ambition is to get into a cadence of underpromising and overdelivering ideally.

Fahad Tariq

Okay. And past conscionable – my only different question, conscionable successful position of woody flow, fixed wherever copper prices are today, rather elevated, it’s absorbing really quickly nan move has changed versus conscionable a fewer months ago. Any colour connected woody flow, size, commodity type surface science would beryllium very helpful.

Shaun Usmar

Yes, it’s a awesome question. Fahad, I’d say, nan first wide constituent for we move 7 astatine nan extremity of April, I’d really qualify nan existent woody situation amongst, if not nan busiest that we’ve encountered successful that time. The mobility of translator into eventual woody is ever nan point that we wouldn’t look to forecast. But I think, hopefully, we haven’t gone done nan past 2 years talking astir subject and past hopefully demonstrating immoderate of that, that’s what you should expect from us. But we are seeing aggregate transactions for nan first clip successful a mates of years really that are meaningfully cash-generating and well-advanced precious metals focused, immoderate acquisition financing-related opportunities, immoderate benignant of worth realization situations, I’d say, mostly successful favorable jurisdictions.

And I’m very bullish erstwhile I deliberation conscionable beyond nan contiguous horizon, peculiarly arsenic we’ve conveyed previously, polymetallics, nan request that this world has for artillery minerals, captious minerals. And I deliberation our erstwhile backing to beryllium a useful portion of nan wide backing cocktail for caller supply. And I deliberation it’s thing that I deliberation is underrecognized, and I deliberation should really accrued to nan assemblage arsenic a whole. I’m not really rather encouraged by that. So nan woody pipeline is good. I deliberation nan point that really matters is nan last study of what group do and what they pay.

Fahad Tariq

Okay. Great. That’s it for me. Thank you.

Operator

Your adjacent mobility is from nan statement of Greg Barnes pinch TD Securities. Your statement is open.

Greg Barnes

Yes. Thank you. James, tin you beryllium a small much circumstantial astir GEOs expectations for Northparkes and RBPlat this year? Are we looking level year-over-year? Or – it sounds for illustration you’ve fixed your reply to Fahad’s mobility but conscionable a small much item would beryllium helpful.

James Dendle

Yes. Sure, Greg. So fundamentally pinch Northparkes, nan E22 cave – aliases nan E26 cave has a golden people of astir $0.1 cardinal grams a tonne compared to much for illustration $0.7 million, $0.8 cardinal for nan E31 unfastened pit. So what Northparkes has encountered arsenic a script wherever they request to fundamentally extract much of nan cave, E26 cave during 2023 successful bid to make judge nan tie points operating successful accordance to scheme and guarantee that nan cave delivers connected nan wide extraction ratio. So successful doing so, they’ve accrued excavation tonnages from that cave from astir 3.5 million, 3.7 cardinal tonnes a twelvemonth up to 4.4 million. And that’s accordingly displaced nan E31 unfastened pit provender until 2024, really it stands today.

The constraint past is – which is beautiful different arsenic you’d admit for underground mines really becomes nan mill. The sanction sheet capacity is 7.6 cardinal tonnes per annum. They’re forecasting moving somewhat up of that for nan twelvemonth astatine 7.8% successful bid to process that worldly against nan backdrop of astir 8 cardinal tonnes of ore being mined during nan year. So a batch of ore feed, but comparatively little golden contributions and evidently nan differential betwixt nan 2 ore sources is rather large from a golden maturation constituent of view.

So for nan year, Northparkes is level – much aliases little flat. And past what we’re seeing astatine nan infinitesimal is, towards nan extremity of nan year, contributions from E31, which meaningfully accrued gold, you look astatine monthly golden production. But arsenic they hap much successful November, December, immoderate of that really will travel into 2024 pinch nan timing delays betwixt accumulation of concentrates and colony of nan stream. So immoderate of that use goes into adjacent year, but it’s much aliases little flat.

RBPlat, erstwhile you bespeak nan fact, yes, nan accumulation for nan 3rd 4th past twelvemonth was down. That really equated to astir a antagonistic 25% hoisted tons of alloy drift for Q3 2022 compared to nan aforesaid play successful 2021. So that impacts us, arsenic I mentioned, this year. But location is simply a flimsy benignant of offsetting facet into foretell drift is ramping up. So RBPlat is much aliases little level to ever truthful somewhat down year-on-year, but it’s really connected nan separator erstwhile you put each that together. Production for nan equilibrium of nan twelvemonth looks rather strong, but there’s astir 5 months’ clip hold betwixt accumulation astatine nan excavation and colony of nan stream, truthful that they’re evidently not later into this twelvemonth and into next.

Greg Barnes

Okay, great. That’s very helpful. Thank you.

Your adjacent mobility is from nan statement of Brian MacArthur pinch Raymond James. Your statement is open.

Brian MacArthur

Good morning. My mobility is akin to Greg’s, but tin we conscionable spell done Cerro Lindo and really you spot it? I mean, we talked astir past year, accumulation was up. There’s delays successful sales. This year, we’re going to spell down a bit, but I conjecture there’s a lag for sales. And past we get up to nan 4 to 4.5 successful 2024-2025. Should I presume really nan effect of that pinch a six-month hold is really not until 2025? And tin you guys punctual maine precisely really you value this pinch nan large delay? Whether you value it connected accumulation and past existent up going guardant aliases whether you conscionable bring it successful arsenic income erstwhile it’s yet sold concentrate? Thanks.

Shaun Usmar

Yes, Brian. I’ll start, and I’ll inquire James to grow connected your questions. I think, firstly, if you spell backmost to immoderate of nan materials successful our deck, remember, Cerro was our first transaction, wherever we’re good connected way to afloat recoupment to that first investment. And portion of nan beauty of nan way grounds has been for illustration really low-cost reserve replacement. And I deliberation conscionable complete a twelvemonth ago, we’ve fundamentally seen nan metallic that we had underwritten mostly replaced connected a reserve ground and they’re continuing to do that rather well. The biggest factor, which is simply a small different connected this transaction to what we spot successful others, and it was driven done their accounting concerns erstwhile we really did nan transaction was very overmuch astir nan – for them to get deferred gross treatment. They had a beardown position that nan last colony had to beryllium based, not connected provisional pricing, but connected really last receipt erstwhile they settle.

And what we’ve experienced, and I don’t deliberation we would person assumed thing different past year. We saw nan activity of that QP timing that we mentioned retired from, I don’t know, astir a period aliases truthful retired to four. We person kept it astatine 4 months. So that is simply a commercialized protection we put successful nan contract. We’ve seen that move out. And arsenic I said, nan existent underlying operating capacity that they’ve done connected metallic because you whitethorn person seen adjacent to put our guidance for nan adjacent 3 years, they had bully results, but they’re 3 years, I think, connected immoderate of nan guidelines metallic assumptions person travel down. I cognize immoderate of nan analysts are present really travel much of nan guidelines metals and don’t needfully person a position arsenic a byproduct of silver. But what we’re seeing is sliver really maintained and been rather robust. So, I deliberation pinch that arsenic context, James, I don’t cognize if there’s things you wish to grow connected further posture?

James Dendle

Yes. I suppose, Cerro Lindo produced successful position of mateling ore astatine nan mine, 4.1 [ph] cardinal ounces successful 2022. Next is put retired a guidance scope of 3.5 to 3.8 for 2023 and that goes up 3.7 to 3.4 – 4.2, sorry, successful 2024, past stepping up further to 4 to 4.5 successful 2025, which is really up of immoderate of nan different figures that person been retired location wrong nan method report. So, we spot that flowing done pinch nan lag. So for this year, location is immoderate opportunity that’s reflected successful nan guidance scope of recovering and getting paid connected a in installments proportionality of those ounces wrong nan year. But arsenic Shaun mentioned, it does dangle connected nan timing of nan settlement.

Brian MacArthur

Okay. Great. Thanks. And conscionable pursuing up connected 1 different comment, Shaun, you talked astir artillery metals retired location and wide views connected diversifying into lithium-graphite for illustration existent artillery metals arsenic opposed to, say, copper, would you spell that acold successful a portfolio?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. Look, it’s a awesome question. I deliberation nan first constituent I’d make is, I deliberation immoderate of – I deliberation location is empirical grounds that immoderate of our larger peers, arsenic they prosecute chunkier deals, are benignant of possibly doing a spot much of their portfolio operation successful non-precious. We get that mobility a lot. And I consciousness that we’ve been successful by being very focused pinch nan deployment of our superior connected generating precious metallic finance opportunities. And I spot nary logic for america to deviate from that. And I genuinely believe, contrary to immoderate of nan questions we got, say, astatine nan Denver Gold Forum, wherever you’ve seen guys almost for illustration Orion, effort and play done nan superior building pinch their disposable firepower. So hey, let’s constitute a large equity cheque and possibly do immoderate debt, and we’ll past possibly do a stream.

We’ve been acold much successful, and I deliberation nan champion and highest usage of our superior is really to deploy that successful a very focused measurement alongside different superior providers who specialize successful those parts of nan superior stack. And we prosecute successful deals for illustration that now and person consistently been, because I deliberation it is nan champion usage of our superior for our shareholders.

But circumstantial to your question, we person looked astatine times, we person abstraction successful nan portfolio, you’ll spot we are now 93 aliases truthful percent golden and silver. And truthful we person sewage evidently copper, nickel, small diamonds. I don’t deliberation there’s anyone who has a jaundiced [ph] position of nan copper outlook, astatine slightest that I’m alert of. And there’s astir apt much appetite than location is opportunity and we’re progressive connected immoderate of those correct now. We’ve looked astatine tons of lithium complete nan years. We’ve conscionable ne'er recovered a lawsuit that we’ve recovered condemnation on.

We’ve been engaged successful rather ample cobalt situations, but we’ve – I suppose, sewage acold feet erstwhile we looked astatine nan implied nether – nan implied cobalt value that was being underwritten arsenic opposed to nan benignant of method issues that are there. So it’s a long-winded reply saying to you, we’ve actually, I deliberation not rather possibly uniquely, but this team’s sewage extended acquisition in, what’s now called captious artillery metals from our careers. We’ve sewage awesome networks there. We are comfortable to person immoderate vulnerability successful there. We person nan expertise, but we are going to stay focused connected prioritizing precious metals.

Brian MacArthur

Great. Thanks very much, Shaun. Very clear.

Shaun Usmar

Thank you.

Your adjacent mobility is from nan statement of Tanya Jakusconek pinch Scotiabank. Your statement is open.

Tanya Jakusconek

Great. Good morning, everyone, and convey you truthful overmuch for taking my questions. I guess, we should conscionable extremity pinch Veritica, James we’ve talked astir North Parks, RV Platts successful position of year-over-year. I conjecture Brian mentioned Serolindo. Veritica, what are we looking location conscionable truthful that we touch connected nan large ones that are harder to get accusation on?

James Dendle

Yes, judge Tanya. We – arsenic you know, nan nameplate capacity astatine Veritica is 4,000 tons a day. In nan past 4th of 2022, nan mill was moving astatine astir 3,600 a day, which is person to which much for illustration 3,750 successful October, November. So beautiful adjacent to nameplate. We’re expecting astatine slightest arsenic a guidelines case, we’ve assumed akin capacity successful 2023. So, we deliberation that’s a reasonable presumption because obviously, mill is 1 thing, what nan excavation tin present is another.

So that’s benignant of our baseline for nan year. Grades and recoveries are successful statement pinch anticipation and broadly successful statement pinch nan reserve grade. So that, yes, that’s mostly what we’re expecting successful Veritica. There were media reports related to immoderate of nan forbidden mining challenges nan institution is having which person been publicized recently. From our interactions, obviously, there’s a desire from nan operators that person nan authorities increases attraction connected helping combat those challenges.

Shaun Usmar

And Tanya, I deliberation is conscionable to adhd to nan context, which you’re astir apt good alert of. Remember, we – truthful we did that woody a fewer years agone now. We’ve already afloat recovered that first investment. And you whitethorn recall, nan – I deliberation nan lawsuit that we’d nether written astatine nan clip erstwhile it was still continental was 3,000 ton a day. So James mentions nan 4,000 nameplate that was supra and beyond surely what we’d expected successful time. And I deliberation nan squad location has done rather a singular occupation of execution done COVID including not only bringing it online, but evidently expanding nan capacity supra what immoderate of america had anticipated. And I deliberation to your point, we recognize, I deliberation successful a number of these cases, an opportunity to conscionable benignant of find ways to summation nan visibility and disclosure for everyone’s benefit.

Tanya Jakusconek

And possibly we tin conscionable get a spot of guidance. Last twelvemonth you provided guidance that we would beryllium back-end weighted versus nan first half. Is location immoderate guidance you tin springiness america quarterly and aliases semi-annual?

Shaun Usmar

[Indiscernible].

Sheldon Vanderkooy

Yes, Tanya, look, it’ll dangle a spot connected timing of immoderate of nan streams. And specifically, Serolindo is travel disconnected pinch beardown 2022 from a excavation accumulation position and deliveries flowing into 2023 will beryllium stronger initially. Whereas North Parks has an expanding output from a golden position arsenic nan twelvemonth goes on. So, we’ll spot precisely really nan deliveries break up. But yes, thing overly circumstantial astatine this stage.

Shaun Usmar

And Tanya, nan flimsy hesitation because there’s been a large chat amongst ourselves. When you don’t power nan finance teams that supply nan information, it’s an absorbing task forecasting done them. And if we deliberation backmost to past twelvemonth conscionable to erstwhile your largest GEO contributor has knowledgeable those delays that we telegraphed. But erstwhile you’re seeing telephone it quarter-on-quarter, a 100% variance from 3 to 4 efficaciously done those. In nan continuum of nan twelvemonth and past beyond, we’ve seen accordant performance, but nan mobility of nan absolute timing wrong nan awesome precision of a 4th is rather hard.

I deliberation nan wide guidance of recreation erstwhile you look beyond to nan 140,000-plus ounces, that we projected and what we're seeing connected this is, arsenic you'd admit we've really sewage to compared to opportunity nan intermediate peers and smaller guys, a batch of our NAV, nan lion stock of our NAV is captured successful operating assets. We do – you've heard our posture connected nan non-producing assets will beryllium ramping assets, and we'll proceed to benignant of support that complete time, which I deliberation is simply a small different to immoderate of what we are seeing successful nan market.

And I deliberation nan wide guidance of recreation is still – if you deliberation astir wide inclination arsenic opposed to quarter-on-quarter and moreover nan twelvemonth is evidently going to beryllium expanding complete clip here. So sorry, it's a ace agelong reply and not emphatic, but arsenic I said, erstwhile you're going for 4,500 GEOs astatine Cerro Lindo 1 4th and complete 9,000 successful nan next, you do get these periodic variances.

Tanya Jakusconek

Okay. Can I inquire connected nan M&A? I deliberation you mentioned that you're seeing aggregate transactions disposable successful nan precious metallic attraction connected financing opportunities. Can you talk astir benignant of nan size of these opportunities that you're seeing? And you said comparative to nan safe jurisdiction, yes. So possibly conscionable size wise, and are location immoderate much royalties disposable retired there? A batch of nan deals done retired location require royalties and rather ample successful size. So conscionable wondering what your wide appetite is, and what do you deliberation you tin do size-wise?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. Look, I'd actually, to reply that and I'll reply it successful a fewer ways. I deliberation nan first is, it's a awesome opportunity to bespeak connected nan consequence of an echo enclosure and a guidance squad erstwhile you return complete a business. And we said to Warren, we've asked others saying, look conscionable immoderate reactions aliases reflections connected your early acquisition versus what you've seen previously. And 1 of his observations is conscionable nan unsolicited travel of worldly that we look to get comparative to possibly what he was utilized to. There is not a week goes by that we don't thin to find much royalties and watercourse opportunities that look that was not visible for us. We opportunity nary to astir of these things for a big of reasons. But location is an unusually dependable watercourse of these.

I think, strategically, conscionable to framework nan reply for you. I deliberation astatine different cycles of your maturation trajectory, you request different things. And now post-Maverix, pinch benignant of 200 exploration improvement assets offering a batch of optionality, that's not a ace large privilege for me, candidly. I deliberation we are going to really beryllium focusing our disposable firepower. You spot we merged $80 cardinal aliases truthful of debt. We'll salary that down quickly. And we've sewage complete $600 cardinal of disposable firepower. I really want to attraction that preferentially, and this is an connection we conscionable can't garbage successful nan longer word aliases not producing, connected things that are rate generating and caller rate generating. You callback strategically, we've ever prioritized that from nan getgo for illustration Cerro Lindo, Buriticá. But I deliberation it's now much than ever that I spot arsenic a privilege for us.

Directly to your question, I deliberation we're seeing things successful nan aggregate hundreds of millions of dollars that we're progressive on. We've done respective tract visits already this year. And it's been an unusually engaged clip for us. So I deliberation nan mobility really for maine is we spot that nan marketplace mightiness waxing and waning is yet what's our capacity to construe immoderate of those perchance into deals that we're consenting to underwrite wherever we're successful. I tin opportunity that we've sewage – arsenic characteristically, we attraction connected – immoderate of those things are bilateral, immoderate are competitive. So I dream that gives you a sense.

Tanya Jakusconek

Okay. So chiefly strains, Shaun, versus royalties?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. I deliberation it's ace unusual. I mean, look, you evidently saw – immoderate ample royalties, but those are benignant of bequest things that were thin a agelong clip agone and past evidently became very valuable complete a period. But if you deliberation of our – a ample portion of our benignant of attraction for superior deployment is enabling mining financing opportunities for strategics' and preferentially trying to do so. That does lend itself much people to watercourse financing. We evidently – we're happy to do royalties. We will prime them up from clip to time. But those thin to beryllium smaller checks, I'd say, ordinarily. So much of that and a batch of polymetallic worldly that we're continuing to witness.

Tanya Jakusconek

Hello. Good greeting gentlemen. Thank you for nan update today. I deliberation we've covered disconnected a batch here, but I wanted to inquire astir 1 different of your benignant of halfway aliases I guess, founding assets, but 1 that I don't deliberation you're getting a batch of worth for, which is Gunnison. And I wanted to get your thoughts on, first of all, whether aliases not you deliberation astir Gunnison contributing to your semipermanent GEO outlook? And really you deliberation nan Street should deliberation astir that plus and erstwhile that mightiness commencement to contribute?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. Lawson, look, it's awesome to chat to you. I must opportunity I'm really struggle pinch Gunnison because there's things that I judge I cognize that I can't pass astatine this time. I deliberation nan guidance of recreation connected insitu leach [ph], I deliberation we've communicated and you've seen nan caller updates. And you've seen nan affirmative news that we talked astir pinch Johnson Camp, things that were complete and supra our underwritten case. And I deliberation nan benignant of cardinal shorter-term milestone that we look to for that squad is nan good stimulation because that’s nan only point they really struggle pinch nan SXEW circuit does precisely arsenic you’d expect. They’ve been successful pinch nan wellfields but it’s been nan CO2 situation pinch nan ISL.

There are things that they’re moving on, which I deliberation conscionable – location are aggregate options that they’ve been pursuing successful bid to look – unlock nan worth of a very well-located ample copper ore assemblage successful a world that needs copper. I deliberation that’s nan champion measurement to put it. And if I deliberation conscionable much strategically for nan mining assemblage correct now, increasingly, you’re seeing precious metals and golden companies prosecute copper opportunities. Clearly, guidelines metallic producers are doing truthful arsenic well.

We’re seeing grounds of groups retired of nan Middle East and elsewhere looking to put money into captious minerals. I deliberation nan request is objectively significant. And to beryllium capable to unafraid a sensible proviso successful a bully jurisdiction is key. So we’re patient, we’re supportive, and I deliberation is very valuable, and I work together pinch your wide comment. I deliberation it’s an underappreciated opportunity. But I besides understand that until there’s momentum, we will proceed to adopt nan benignant of posture that we person arsenic we deliberation done guidance. But I deliberation we’re very supportive of that. James, I don’t cognize – thing you’d wish out

James Dendle

No. And I conscionable – I would corroborate that it is wrong nan mean of nan 5 twelvemonth period. We are – we deliberation there’s capable – location are capable options to get accumulation from Gunnison wrong that play that we person assurance capable to see it. Obviously, it’s a comparatively humble contributor [indiscernible].

Lawson Winder

Okay. That’s very helpful. And past possibly conscionable 1 much mobility connected nan guidance, 100 to 115 GEOs. I mean, conscionable reference done nan merchandise and proceeding your comments today, I mean, it sounds for illustration this mightiness beryllium characterized arsenic blimpish guidance. Would that beryllium fair? I mean, would you opportunity you person a very precocious grade of assurance successful achieving this 100 to 115 GEO for 2023?

Shaun Usmar

Yes. Just sitting successful our boardroom, and I’ve conscionable raised a normal distribution curve that I shared pinch my Board yesterday wherever we’ve benignant of highlighted nan constituent around, telephone it, a emblematic rate travel model, possibly a P50 versus for illustration a P85 [ph], P90. Obviously, erstwhile you’re doing this, you’re looking for thing wherever you’ve sewage a overmuch higher grade of certainty of achievement. I deliberation nan vexation for america past twelvemonth is we did that and successful our judgment, we judge that we had really done it astatine nan time. And I person to opportunity for illustration pinch immoderate hindsight, for illustration we did not forecast for illustration historical floods successful New South Wales aliases ongoing zero COVID effect nan Sinai for Mongolia aliases nan – business we’ve telegraphed for nan first clip successful six years connected our finance successful Cerro Lindo contempt very bully operating performance.

So I don’t deliberation our posture successful our study has changed. And I’m ever hesitant to qualify thing arsenic conservative. But I do deliberation it’s an absorbing thing. If you zoom successful from a 1 twelvemonth to aggregate twelvemonth position and you look astatine a batch of nan businesses retired location we have, say, little rate travel and a batch of NAV I deliberation nan assemblage arsenic a full hasn’t needfully outperformed to nan positive broadside erstwhile you deliberation astir timing of NAV.

The nervus tends to beryllium rather stable, but nan GEO portion is nan portion that we’ve ever handicapped I conscionable deliberation we’re trying to make judge that we tin get connected nan correct broadside of gathering aliases exceeding nan market. So that’s hopefully, it’s not a governmental reply to you, but it should hopefully springiness you a consciousness of really we’re trying to deliberation astir it and do it.
