Endnotes 13 August 7, 2014 PAGE 5 STRONG NEAR TERM GROWTH 1. Full run rate Mt . Milligan Gold Deliveries considers estimated production of 262 , 000 ounces of gold annually during the first six years ; 195 , 000 ounces of gold thereafter, per Thompson Creek’s National Instrument 43 - 101 technical report filed on SEDAR, under Thompson Creek’s profile, on October 13 , 2011 . Royal Gold’s stream is 52 . 25 % of payable gold, multiplied by a 97 % payable factor . In the December 2013 quarter we received 2 , 149 ounces of physical gold from Mt . Milligan . In the March 2014 quarter Royal Gold received 4 , 780 ounces of physical gold . In the June 2014 quarter we received 21 , 900 ounces of gold and sold 14 , 400 ounces, and had 7 , 800 ounces in inventory at June 30 , 2014 that are not shown on the chart . 2. Gold equivalent ounces for fiscal 2014 were calculated by dividing actual revenue by the average gold price of $ 1 , 292 for fiscal 2014 . Gold equivalent ounces for the future period were calculated by dividing future estimated revenue by the spot price of approximately $ 1 , 300 on July 31 , 2014 . Net gold equivalent ounces at Mt . Milligan are based upon operator’s estimated annual production rate of 262 , 000 ounces of gold for the first six years, as reported by the operator, using a gold price of $ 1 , 300 per ounce for conversion purposes of the delivery payment . The future run rate is based on Royal Gold’s current entity model ( dated July 31 , 2014 ) estimate for fiscal year 2016 . This future estimate is subject to risks described in the Company’s cautionary statement as well as in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K . PAGE 8 CY 2014 Operator Production Estimates and CYTD Actuals 1. There can be no assurance that production estimates received from our operators will be achieved . Please refer to our cautionary language regarding forward - looking statements and risk factors in our Fiscal 2014 10 - K 2. Reported production relates to the amount of metal sales, subject to our royalty interests, for the period January 1 , 2014 through June 30 , 2014 , as reported to us by the operators of the mines . For our streaming interest at Mt . Milligan, reported production represents payable gold shipped, subject to our stream interest, during the January 1 , 2014 through June 30 , 2014 period . 3. The operator’s production estimate shown represents ounces of payable gold production . RGLD Gold’s anticipated gold deliveries associated with the payable gold production are derived by applying our streaming interest of 52 . 25 % . RGLD Gold’s deliveries are also subject to Thompson Creek’s shipping and settlement schedules, which are not known by RGLD Gold until after each shipment . 4. The operator did not release public production guidance for calendar 2014 . 5. Vale will transition the Voisey’s Bay nickel concentrate processing from its Sudbury and Thompson smelters to its new Long Harbour hydrometallurgical plant . The Company is discussing with Vale the calculation of the royalty when Long Harbour begins treatment of these nickel concentrates .
