Miata Metals to fully acquire Nassau gold project in Suriname
Canadian mineral exploration company Miata Metals has entered into an option agreement to fully acquire the Nassau gold project in Suriname. The Nassau property, located near significant gold mines, is host to multiple gold zones and has been historically under-explored. It is situated in a gold-rich greenstone belt and surrounded by gold placer deposits. The deal allows Miata to acquire the remaining 30% interest in the Nassau property, increasing its stake from 70% to 100%. The property contains numerous gold occurrences and three high-priority exploration targets established by previous operators. Miata CEO Jacob Verbaas said: 'With this transaction, Miata now holds exposure to the potential for 100% ownership of both Sela Creek and Nassau, providing us with full strategic control over our Suriname gold portfolio. 'We continue to systematically advance our flagship Sela Creek gold project, where our technical team is drill-testing a large-scale orogenic system across 215km². We are pleased to enter into this agreement at Nassau as it strengthens our long-term position in the prolific greenstone belts of Suriname. 'Nassau is on trend with the producing Rosebel and Merian mines, road accessible, and close to important infrastructure. Like Sela Creek, we believe the Nassau project now also has the right foundation to build lasting shareholder value in Suriname's highly prospective gold belt.' The agreement requires Miata to make cash payments totalling $1.35m (C$1.85m) and work commitments of $2m over three years. The payment schedule includes an initial deposit of $25,000, followed by payments on each anniversary of the agreement in the amount of $200,000, $400,000 and $650,000, respectively. Concurrently, Miata will grant the optionor a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR) from the sale of gold mined at Nassau, with a buyback right for Miata to purchase portions of the NSR. As the operator, Miata is responsible for carrying out exploration at Nassau. In October last year, Miata Metals expanded its gold exploration portfolio through the acquisition of 79North, which included a 70% interest in both the Sela Creek Gold Project and the Nassau gold project.

Up 1800% in 5 years! This liquor stock gains 14% after Q4 net profit jumps 146%. Do you own?
Stock Market Today: Shares of Tilaknagar Industries, one of India's leading alcoholic beverages (alcobev) companies, surged 14% to ₹ 355 apiece in early morning trade on Thursday, May 15, following the company's stellar performance in the March-ending quarter (Q4FY25), driven by an uptick in volumes. The company, on Wednesday post-market hours, reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹ 406 crore, a 13.1% YoY jump. However, revenue growth lagged behind volume growth due to price reductions implemented in Andhra Pradesh in Q3 FY25. Consequently, NSR dropped to ₹ 1,182 per case from ₹ 1,293 in Q4FY24. The company sold 34.2 lakh cases in Q4FY25, a 20.1% YoY increase from 28.5 lakh cases sold in the same period last year. Volume growth was mainly driven by strong growth in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. EBITDA grew by 62.6% YoY to ₹ 78 crore. Profit during the reporting quarter jumped to ₹ 77 crore, a 145.8% increase compared to a profit of ₹ 31 crore in the March 2024 quarter. The company stands as a leader in the Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) brandy segment, which contributes 93% of its total volumes. During FY25, the company brandy volumes stood at 10.83 lakh cases. Its flagship brandy, Mansion House Brandy, holds the distinction of being the largest-selling brand in India and the second largest globally. During the quarter, the company has expanded into the luxury segment with Monarch Legacy Edition brandy. Additionally, it has a strategic investment in Spaceman Spirits Lab Pvt. Ltd., the makers of Samsara Gin, Sitara Rum, and Amara Vodka, as well as a strategic investment in Round The Cocktails Pvt. Ltd., the makers of Bartisans—Premium 'Ready to Pour' Cocktail Mixers, as per the company's Q4 earnings' report. Looking ahead, the company is well-positioned to benefit from industry trends, as 15–20 million people are expected to enter the legal drinking age every year, driving consumption trends in India. Cocktail culture is becoming very prevalent, with significant innovations taking place in spirits as well as allied products. Premiumization is driving industry growth across all categories due to rising affluence and an aspirational consumer base. After witnessing profit booking during January and February, the stock rebounded in March and extended its gains into April, finishing the two months with gains of 7% and 21%, respectively. The rally further extended into the current month as well, with the stock gaining another 16% so far. Over the last 3 years, the stock has gained 550%, and in the last 5 years, it has delivered a return of 1800%.

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS; OTCQX: ATUSF) ('Altius' or the 'Corporation') reports first quarter 2025 revenue of $12.6 million compared to $13.9 million in Q1 2024. Attributable royalty revenue (1) of $15.0 million ($0.32 per share (1)) compares to $15.4 million ($0.33 per share) reported in Q1 2024. Operating Royalty Portfolio Performance Highlights Subsequent to the quarter on April 22, 2025 it was announced that Orogen Royalties Inc. ('Orogen'), of which the Corporation is a major shareholder with 39,557,959 Orogen shares or 19.6% ownership, announced a definitive agreement with Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. ('Triple Flag') whereby Triple Flag will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Orogen for total consideration of approximately $421 million or $2.00 per Orogen share, comprised of approximately $171.5 million in cash, $171.5 million in Triple Flag shares, and shares of a new company ('Orogen Spinco') with an implied value of approximately $78 million. Orogen, a project generation and royalty company, holds a 1% NSR royalty relating to the Expanded Silicon Project as its key asset. Altius also directly holds a separate 1.5% NSR royalty relating to the project. The agreement with Triple Flag is expected to close during the third quarter. Lundin Mining Corporation ('Lundin'), in a Technical Report dated February 19, 2025, reported an open-pit Indicated Mineral Resource of 249.9 Mt at 0.29% copper and 0.16 g/t gold (714 kt or 1.57 Blbs of copper) and an underground Inferred Mineral Resource of 25.2 Mt at 0.51% copper and 0.41 g/t gold (127 kt or 0.28Blbs of copper) at Saúva. This compares with Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at Chapada of 883.1 Mt at 0.23% copper and 0.12 g/t gold (2051 kt or 4.52 Blbs copper). Drilling at Saúva in 2024 mainly focused on extending the mineralization downdip. The 2025 exploration program will focus on increasing high grade resources and Lundin anticipates releasing an updated Mineral Resource estimate for Saúva next year. Altius's district scale stream interest relates to both the Chapada and Sauva project areas. Altius has formally advanced to the detailed proposal phase in the Julienne Lake Exempt Mineral Land ('EML') process being undertaken by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (the 'Province'). The Julienne Lake deposit is a large, undeveloped iron ore deposit located approximately 25 kilometres northeast of the town of Labrador City that has had an EML designation since 1976. The Province has reported that the Julienne Lake deposit within the EML area hosts a National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant Measured and Indicated Resource of 867 million tonnes at 33.7% iron, plus an Inferred Resource of 299 million tonnes at 34.1% iron. Altius holds a 100% interest in 65 mineral claims that are contiguous to the Julienne Lake EML area. In 2012, Altius's drilling confirmed the continuity of the iron ore deposit onto its claims. Moreover, Altius has recently commenced preliminary metallurgical test work on its drill core samples in order to test the ability of the deposit to yield direct reduction (DR) grade iron concentrate and expects the results in Q2. Subsequent to the quarter on April 23, 2025 Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp") announced its construction budget for the development of the Curipamba copper-zinc-gold-silver project with an estimated cost of $240.5 million while noting that it is targeting production by the end of 2026. Altius holds a 2% NSR royalty relating to the project. During the quarter Vale announced that it has commenced underground mining operations from the Eastern Deeps Mine at Voisey's Bay, Labrador and that it is currently in the process of ramping up production levels. Subsequent to the quarter on April 24, 2025, AbraSilver reported on drilling completed by Teck Resources Limited on the La Coipita property located in San Juan, Argentina. The drilling is ongoing, with three holes completed to date in 2025, with assays pending on two of the three holes. Hole DDH-LC25-006 reported an intercept of 621m grading 0.38% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au and 62 ppm Mo, from 410m to 1,031 metres. Within this broad intercept were higher grade zones including 114m grading 0.70% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au and 81 ppm Mo, from 410m to 524m down-hole depth. La Coipita is a large (70,000 ha) project situated within one of the world's most endowed copper belts, the prolific Miocene porphyry-epithermal belt (ie, Los Pelambres, Los Bronces, El Teniente, Filo del Sol, El Pachón). Altius holds a Royalty Acquisition Right to acquire a 1.1% net smelter royalty from the original vendor for US$5M any time before the start of construction at La Coipita. Adjusted EBITDA (1) of $9.5 million ($0.20 per share (1)) during Q1 2025 compares to $10.9 million ($0.23 per share) during Q1 2024 and follows the trend of revenue. Q1 2025 adjusted operating cash flow (1) of $4.1 million ($0.09 per share (1)) compares to $4.0 million ($0.08 per share) in Q1 2024. The slight increase reflects lower interest paid offset by lower royalty revenue receipts and higher tax payments as well as working capital changes. Net earnings of $6.3 million ($0.13 per share) for Q1 2025 compares to net earnings of $4.8 million ($0.10 per share) in Q1 2024. Net earnings for the current quarter reflects lower amortization and G&A, partially offset by lower revenues and higher cost of sales. Adjusted net earnings per share (1) of $0.05 for Q1 2025 is lower than $0.07 per share for Q1 2024 and follows the trend of revenue. The main adjusting items are summarized in the below table and include a $4.3 million of tax recovery relating to the recognition of certain tax losses. Liquidity and Capital Allocation Summary Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025 were $12.1 million, compared to $15.9 million at the end of 2024. At March 31, 2025 the approximate market value of various public equity holdings included: $110 million for shares of Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp. $26 million for the value of the indirectly held interest in the shares of Lithium Royalty Corporation $71 million for publicly traded shares held within the Project Generation equity portfolio, including $62.1 million in Orogen Royalties Inc. which following the announcement with Triple Flag has increased in value to approximately $72.4 million (as of May 12). During the quarter the Corporation made scheduled debt repayments of $2.0 million, paid cash dividends of $3.8 million and issued 12,638 shares under the dividend reinvestment plan. Under its normal course issuer bid, the Corporation repurchased and cancelled 2,000 common shares for a total cost of $0.1 million. At March 31, 2025 the Corporation carried a balance of $97.6 million under its term debt facilities and $9.0 million under its revolving credit facility. Dividend Declaration The Corporation's board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share, payable to all shareholders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2025. The dividend is expected to be paid on or about June 16, 2025. This dividend is eligible for payment in common shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) announced by press release May 20, 2020, and available to shareholders who are Canadian residents or residents of countries outside the United States. In order to be eligible to participate in respect of the June 16, 2025 dividend, non-registered shareholders must provide instruction to their brokerage and registered shareholders must provide completed enrollment forms to the transfer agent by May 23, 2025, five business days prior to record date. Stock market purchases made under the DRIP for the June 16, 2025 payment will be satisfied by issuance from treasury at the 5 day volume weighted average price ending at the close of trading the day before payment date. Shareholders who have already provided instruction to be enrolled previously will continue to be enrolled unless they direct otherwise. For more information, please see Altius Minerals Corporation Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Participation in the DRIP is optional and will not impact any cash dividends payable to shareholders who do not elect to participate in the DRIP. The declaration, timing and payment of future dividends will largely depend on the Corporation's financial results as well as other factors. Dividends paid by Altius on its common shares are eligible dividends for Canadian income tax purposes unless otherwise stated. Non GAAP Financial Measures Management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: attributable revenue, attributable royalty revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted net earnings (loss).

Share Buyback Activity: Under its current normal course issuer bid ('NCIB'), Triple Flag is authorized to repurchase 10,071,462 common shares from November 15, 2024, to November 14, 2025. Under the NCIB, Triple Flag has bought back 692,600 shares in the open market for $11.3 million since November 15, 2024, of which 153,600 shares for $2.6 million was from the period from February 20, 2025, to May 6, 2025. Quarterly Portfolio Updates Australia: Northparkes (54% gold stream and 80% silver stream): Sales from Northparkes in Q1 2025 were a record 8,934 GEOs. Mining of the E31 and E31N open pits was completed in the first quarter of 2025 as planned, with material stockpiled. We continue to expect higher grade stockpiled ore from E31 and E31N to contribute to processed feed and support stream deliveries through 2025. Development of the sublevel cave ('SLC') at E48 commenced in July 2024, with access to the first sub-level now substantially complete. Commissioning is expected to start in the second half of 2025, with the asset expected to ramp-up through 2026. A previous 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 was completed in the first quarter of 2025. The outcome of this study is currently being integrated with the life of mine plan at Northparkes to confirm the development schedule and optimized production profile. 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. An SLC hybrid option study for E22 is expected to be completed by June 30, 2025. Beta Hunt (3.25% GR gold royalty and 1.5% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Beta Hunt in Q1 2025 equated to 1,623 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. In September 2024, Westgold declared an inaugural exploration target for the Fletcher Zone of Beta Hunt totaling 23 to 27 million tonnes at 2.1 to 2.5 g/t Au containing 1.6 to 2.1 million ounces of gold i.

DeLamar (2.5% NSR gold and silver royalty, partial coverage): In April 2025, Integra announced the formal submission of the updated Mine Plan of Operations to the US Bureau of Land Management for its 100%-owned DeLamar heap leach project in Idaho. This submission represents the start of the federal permitting process for the project under the National Environmental Policy Act. An updated feasibility study to incorporate historical stockpiles into the design of DeLamar remains scheduled for completion in 2025. Kemess (100% silver stream): In February 2025, Centerra Gold Inc. ('Centerra') announced that it had commenced evaluation of technical concepts and engineering trade-off studies for potential restart options at the 100%-owned Kemess copper-gold-silver project in British Columbia. These early-stage concepts included a review of a potential open pit and long-hole stoping operation, versus the previous permitted block cave design. Significant infrastructure is already in place at Kemess, including a 50,000 tpd mill, connection to grid power and a camp. A preliminary economic assessment for Kemess is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. Fenn-Gib (1.0% to 1.5% NSR gold royalty): Fenn-Gib is a 100%-owned gold deposit that straddles the Pipestone fault in Northern Ontario, operated by Mayfair Gold Corp. ('Mayfair').

A preliminary economic assessment for Queensway remains on-track for completion in the second quarter of 2025. A drill program that is also expected to start in the second quarter of 2025 will focus on infill drilling, including between the current resource pit shells. Rest of World: Impala Bafokeng (70% gold stream): Sales from Impala Bafokeng in Q1 2025 were 1,664 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 advanced, 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 1,101 GEOs and 578 GEOs in Q1 2025, respectively. Sales from our stream interest in Bonikro equated to 1,271 GEOs in Q1 2025. The strong performance of our Agbaou and Bonikro streams during the first quarter of 2025 reflect Allied Gold Corp.'s obligation to complete minimum deliveries for the 2024 fiscal year. Annual minimum deliveries under these streams will continue until 2027. Refer to our press release published on August 7, 2024, Triple Flag to Acquire 3% Gold Streams on Allied Gold Corp.'s Agbaou and Bonikro Mines,' for further details. In February 2025, Allied announced 2025 gold production guidance of 77,000 to 90,000 ounces for Agbaou and 98,000 to 105,000 ounces for Bonikro. Through 2026 and 2027, the operator expects to annually produce at least 87,000 ounces of gold at Agbaou and approximately 100,000 ounces of gold at Bonikro. Koné (2.0% NSR gold royalty, partial coverage): In April 2025, Montage Gold Corp. ('Montage') released an updated resource for the Koné open pit development project. Triple Flag's royalty area of interest covers the main Koné deposit. On a 100% basis, Indicated Resources have increased by 150 thousand ounces to 4.5 million ounces of gold based on 245mt grading 0.57 g/t Au vii. Similarly, Inferred Resources have increased by 110 thousand ounces to 510 thousand ounces of gold based on 37mt grading 0.43 g/t Au vii. Montage continues to expect first gold pour at Koné in the second quarter of 2027. ATO (25% gold stream and 50% silver stream): Sales from the ATO streams and related interests in Q1 2025 were 941 GEOs. In March 2025, Triple Flag filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for the immediate delivery of 1,650 ounces of gold, representing the outstanding gold ounces under the previously announced prepaid gold agreement with Steppe Gold Ltd. Prieska (0.8% GR royalty): In March 2025, Orion Minerals Limited published an updated feasibility study for the fully permitted Prieska copper-zinc project in South Africa. The study outlined a two-phase development approach, including the mining of a near-surface supergene sulphide zone ('Supergene Zone') to be accessed from an existing decline followed a second phase of deeper mining that leverages an existing mine shaft. Production from the Supergene Zone could commence 13 months after construction begins for initial capex of A$49 million. Collectively, the two phases are designed to produce total metal-in-concentrate of 213 thousand tonnes of copper and 611 thousand tonnes of zinc over a 13-year mine life. Triple Flag has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a fixed ratio gold and silver stream on Prieska for $80 million, to be drawn down in tranches alongside other sources of funding during development. Among other events, this is conditional upon South African regulatory approvals, the mine development being fully funded, and finalization of an executable mine plan to Triple Flag's satisfaction. Further details on our next steps will be provided in due course.

Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors Information contained or referenced in this press release or in the documents referenced herein concerning the properties, technical information and operations of Triple Flag has been prepared in accordance with requirements and standards under Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ('S-K 1300'). Because the Company is eligible for the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System adopted by the SEC and Canadian Securities Administrators, Triple Flag is not required to present disclosure regarding its mineral properties in compliance with S-K 1300. Accordingly, certain information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. Technical and Third-Party Information: 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, write-downs, and reversals, 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, write-downs, and reversals, 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. Impairment charges and expected credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are largely due to expected credit losses taken on the Elevation Gold loan receivables. 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, write-downs, and reversals, 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, write-downs, and reversals, 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. Impairment charges and expected credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are largely due to expected credit losses taken on the Elevation Gold loan receivables. 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 profitability of our metal sales and asset margin to evaluate our performance in increasing revenue, containing costs and providing 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: _________________ i Refer to Westgold's press release dated September 16, 2024, 'Fletcher Exploration Target Defined at 1.6 - 2.1Moz Au'. ii Refer to Westgold's press release dated September 16, 2024, '2024 Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. iii Refer to Nexa's press release dated March 27, 2025, 'Nexa Resources Announces 2024 Year-End Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources'. iv Refer to Coeur's press release dated February 18, 2025, 'Coeur Reports Year-End 2024 Mineral Reserves and Resources and Provides Palmarejo Exploration Update'. v Refer to Mayfair's press release dated September 10, 2024, 'Mayfair Gold Updates Fenn-Gib Open-Pit Mineral Resource and Initiates an Expanded Metallurgical Test Program'. vi Refer to Newfound's press release dated March 24, 2025, 'New Found Gold Corp.
