Osisko Reports Q1 2025 Results

Jason Attew, President & CEO of Osisko commented: 'Osisko's first quarter represented a good start for the Company in 2025 and serves as a solid base for Osisko to achieve its 2025 guidance range of 80,000 to 88,000 GEOs earned, especially considering that the Company's GEO deliveries are expected to sequentially improve quarter-by-quarter throughout the remainder of the year ahead. Declaration of a quarterly dividend of US$0.055 per common share, a 20% increase over the previous quarterly dividend, based on the foreign exchange rate (C$/US$) on the declaration date of the first quarter dividend. The dividend will be paid on July 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2025. Acquisition of a basket of royalties across various projects in British Columbia from Sable Resources Ltd. ('Sable Resources') for consideration of C$3.8 million, as well as certain rights in relation to the future acquisition of similar interests from Sable Resources; Declaration of a quarterly dividend of C$0.065 per common share paid on April 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2025. MONTRÉAL, May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (the ' Company ' or ' Osisko ') (OR: TSX & NYSE) today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2025. Amounts presented are in United States dollars, except where otherwise noted. Story Continues Looking ahead over the next few months, there are several upcoming catalysts to watch out for, including, but not limited to, Osisko Development's project financing initiatives on the back of last week's Optimized Feasibility Study results for the fully-permitted Cariboo gold project; a new life-of-mine plan at Alamos Gold's Island Gold District; and finally, the anticipated Implementation of the Scheme of Arrangement between Spartan Resources and Ramelius Resources, which, if implemented, could accelerate first production from Dalgaranga to late 2025, a full year ahead of Osisko's expectations when we acquired the Dalgaranga 1.8% gross smelter return royalty in late September of 2024.' Norman MacDonald, Board Chair of Osisko, also commented: 'Tomorrow's Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders will mark the end of Joanne Ferstman's tenure as an Independent Director on Osisko's Board. Joanne has been on Osisko's Board of Directors from the very beginning, and, as such, both Board and Management would like to wholeheartedly thank Joanne for her many years of leadership, guidance and service. Her attention to detail and dedication to realizing the Company's strategic vision, amongst her many other skills, will be missed. We would also like to wish Joanne all the best in her future endeavours.'

Qualified Person The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Guy Desharnais, Ph.D., Vice President, Project Evaluation at Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd, who is a 'qualified person' as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101'). About Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd is an intermediate precious metal royalty company which holds a North American focused portfolio of over 195 royalties, streams and precious metal offtakes, including 21 producing assets. Osisko's portfolio is anchored by its cornerstone asset, a 3-5% net smelter return royalty on the Canadian Malartic Complex, home to one of Canada's largest gold mines. Osisko's head office is located at 1100 Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Suite 300, Montréal, Québec, H3B 2S2.

Silver ounces and copper tonnes earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes by the average silver price per ounce or copper price per tonne for the period and dividing by the average gold price per ounce for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price per ounce for the period.

(3) Non-IFRS Measures Cash margin Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by Osisko as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained from the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues. Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate Osisko's ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as gross margin and operating cash flows, to evaluate Osisko's performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of the cash margin per type of interests (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues) is presented below: Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 $ $ Royalty interests Revenues 36,790 33,029 Less: cost of sales (excluding depletion) (145 ) (78 ) Cash margin (in dollars) 36,645 32,951 Depletion (2,710 ) (4,104 ) Gross profit 33,935 28,847 Stream interests Revenues 18,126 12,018 Less: cost of sales (excluding depletion) (1,474 ) (1,281 ) Cash margin (in dollars) 16,652 10,737 Depletion (5,034 ) (4,442 ) Gross profit 11,618 6,295 Royalty and stream interests Total cash margin (in dollars) 53,297 43,688 Divided by: total revenues 54,916 45,047 Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) 97.1 % 97.0 % Total – Gross profit 45,553 35,142 Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share are non-IFRS financial measures and are defined by Osisko by excluding the following items from net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share: foreign exchange gains (losses), impairment charges and reversal related to royalty, stream and other interests, changes in allowance for expected credit losses, write-offs and impairment of investments, gains (losses) on disposal of assets, gains (losses) on investments, share of income (loss) of associates, transaction costs and other items such as non-cash gains (losses), as well as the impact of income taxes on these items. Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of Osisko as a whole for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its consolidated financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share, investors and analysts use adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the results of the underlying business of Osisko, particularly since the excluded items are typically not included in Osisko's annual guidance. While the adjustments to net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share in these measures include items that are both recurring and non-recurring, management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are useful measures of Osisko's performance because they adjust for items which may not relate to or have a disproportionate effect on the period in which they are recognized, impact the comparability of the core operating results from period to period, are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of the business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings is presented below: Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts) $ $ Net earnings 25,640 11,169 Adjustments: Foreign exchange (gain) loss (160 ) 2,411 Share of loss of associates 3,752 10,053 Changes in allowance for expected credit losses and write-offs - (1,399 ) Loss (gain) on investments 286 (388 ) Tax impact of adjustments (41 ) 136 Adjusted earnings 29,477 22,032 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (000's) 186,979 185,761 Adjusted earnings per basic share 0.16 0.12 Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this press release may be deemed 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and 'forward-looking information' within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.

MONTREAL, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (the 'Company' or 'Osisko') (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to provide an update on its first quarter 2025 preliminary deliveries, revenues and cash margin, as well as on its cash and debt positions as at March 31st, 2025. All monetary amounts included in this report are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. PRELIMINARY Q1 2025 RESULTS Osisko earned 19,014 attributable gold equivalent ounces1 ('GEOs') in the first quarter of 2025. Osisko recorded preliminary revenues from royalties and streams of $54.9 million during the first quarter and preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) of $1.6 million, resulting in a quarterly cash margin2 of approximately $53.3 million (representing a quarterly record cash margin of 97.1%). As at March 31st, 2025, Osisko's cash position was approximately $63.1 million, following a $19.6 million net repayment on the Company's revolving credit facility during the first quarter. Osisko's revolving credit facility was drawn by $74.3 million at the end of March 2025, with an additional amount of $308.2 million available to be drawn plus the uncommitted accordion of C$200 million. Subsequent to quarter end, Osisko paid down an additional $25.0 million against its revolving credit facility, reducing the outstanding balance to $49.3 million as at the date of this press release. Osisko provides notice of the first quarter 2025 results and conference and webcast call details. The figures presented in this press release, including the cash and debt balances, and the revenues and costs of sales, have not been audited and are subject to change. As the Company has not yet finished its quarter end procedures, the anticipated financial information presented in this press release is preliminary, subject to quarter end adjustments, and may change materially. (1) Gold Equivalent Ounces GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. Silver and copper earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes earned by the average silver price or copper price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Cash royalties and other metals and commodities are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue earned by the average gold price for the period. Average Metal Prices Three months ended March 31 2025 2024 Gold (i) $ 2,860 $ 2,070 Silver (ii) $ 31.88 $ 23.34 Copper (iii) $ 9,340 $ 8,438 (i) The London Bullion Market Association's pm price in U.S. dollars per ounce. (ii) The London Bullion Market Association's price in U.S. dollars per ounce. (iii) The London Metal Exchange's price in U.S. dollars per tonne. (2) Non-IFRS Measures Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by Osisko as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained from the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues. Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate Osisko's ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as gross margin and operating cash flows, to evaluate Osisko's performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Osisko Reports Record 2024 Results and Provides 2025 Guidance and New 5-Year Outlook

Record annual revenues of US$191.2 million and record operating cash flows of US$159.9 million MONTRÉAL, Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (the 'Company' or 'Osisko') (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to announce its consolidated financial results for the year 2024. Amounts presented are in United States Dollars, except where otherwise noted. 2024 Financial Highlights 80,740 gold equivalent ounces ('GEOs1') earned (94,323 GEOs in 2023); Record revenues from royalties and streams of $191.2 million ($183.2 million in 2023); Record cash flows generated by operating activities of $159.9 million ($138.4 million in 2023); Net earnings of $16.3 million, $0.09 per basic share (net loss of $37.4 million, $0.20 per basic share in 2023); Adjusted earnings2 of $97.3 million, $0.52 per basic share ($74.1 million, $0.40 per basic share in 2023) Net repayments of $49.7 million under the revolving credit facility; and Cash balance of $59.1 million and debt outstanding of $93.9 million as at December 31, 2024. Other Highlights Total capital committed and/or deployed in 2024 of over $287.7 million across 3 new transactions: Execution of a definitive agreement by Osisko Bermuda Limited ('Osisko Bermuda') for a 6% gold stream (until 225,000 ounces are delivered, and then 3.6% thereafter) on SolGold plc's Cascabel copper-gold development project in Ecuador for a total of $225.0 million, payable upon achieving certain milestones; Acquisition of a 1.8% gross revenue royalty ('GRR') from Tembo Capital Mining Fund II ('Tembo') on Spartan Resources Limited's Dalgaranga Gold project ('Dalgaranga') in Western Australia and a 1.35% GRR on additional regional exploration licenses in proximity to Dalgaranga from Tembo for combined consideration of $50.0 million; Amendment to the Gibraltar silver stream, increasing Osisko's attributable silver percentage by 12.5% to 100% and extending the step-down delivery threshold to 6.8 million ounces delivered for consideration of $12.7 million; First delivery of copper received by Osisko Bermuda from MAC Copper Limited ('MAC Copper') under the CSA copper stream; First payment received from G Mining Ventures Corp.'s ('G Mining') under the Tocantinzinho 0.75% net smelter return ('NSR') royalty; First payment received from Agnico Eagle Mines Limited under the Akasaba West 2.5% NSR royalty (partial coverage); Appointments of Mr. David Smith and Ms. Wendy Louie to the Company's Board of Directors; Publication of the Fourth Edition of the Company's sustainability report, Growing Responsibly and Osisko's 2024 Asset Handbook; and Declaration of quarterly dividends totaling C$0.255 per common share in 2024 (C$0.235 per common share in 2023). Subsequent to December 31, 2024 Acquisition of a 1.5% NSR royalty from Japan Gold Corp. ('Japan Gold') on certain properties and assets in Japan that are not (or don't become) subject to Japan Gold's existing Strategic Alliance Agreement with Barrick Gold Corp. for consideration of $5.0 million; and Declaration of a quarterly dividend of C$0.065 per common share payable on April 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2025. Guidance for 2025 and 5-Year Outlook 2025 Guidance Osisko expects GEOs earned to range between 80,000-88,000 in 2025 at an average cash margin2 of approximately 97%. For the 2025 guidance, deliveries of silver, copper, and cash royalties have been converted to GEOs using commodity prices based on consensus prices and a gold/silver price ratio of 83:1. The 2025 guidance assumes Capstone Copper Corp.'s Mantos Blancos mine will continue to operate at its Phase I nameplate throughput capacity of 20,000 tonnes per day, as well as the commencement of payments associated with GEOs earned from Cardinal Namdini Mining Limited's Namdini mine in the second half of 2025. In addition, the guidance assumes a full year of GEOs earned from the copper stream from MAC Copper's CSA mine, and the NSR royalty on G Mining's Tocantinzinho mine. Osisko's 2025 guidance on royalty and stream interests is largely based on publicly available forecasts from its operating partners. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, Osisko obtains internal forecasts from the producers or uses management's best estimate. 5-Year Outlook Osisko expects its portfolio to generate between 110,000-125,000 GEOs in 2029. The outlook assumes the commencement of production at Gold Fields Limited's Windfall project and South32 Limited's Hermosa/Taylor project, amongst others. It also assumes increased production from certain other operators that are advancing expansions, including Alamos Gold Inc.'s Phase 3+ Expansion at its Island Gold District. The 5-year outlook assumes there will be no GEO contribution from the Eagle Gold mine which is currently in receivership. Beyond this growth profile, Osisko owns several other assets, which have not been factored into the 5-year outlook, as their development timelines are either longer, or difficult to reasonably forecast at this time. As these operators provide additional clarity on these respective assets, Osisko will seek to include them in future long-term outlooks. This 5-year outlook is based on internal judgements of publicly available forecasts and other disclosures by the third-party owners and operators of the Company's assets and could differ materially from actual results. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, Osisko obtains internal forecasts from the operators or uses management's best estimate. The commodity price assumptions that were used in the 5-year outlook are based on current long-term consensus and a gold/silver price ratio of 80:1. This 5-year outlook replaces the 5-year outlook previously released in 2024, which should be considered withdrawn. Investors should not use this 5-year outlook to extrapolate forecast results to any year within the 5-year period (2025-2029). Management Commentary Jason Attew, President & CEO of Osisko commented: '2024 was a solid year for Osisko, marked by new annual records achieved with respect to revenues and cash flows, in addition to the closing of several key transactions which will positively contribute to Osisko's current and future cash flows. The Company is well-positioned to pursue additional accretive growth opportunities with a materially improved balance sheet after $85 million in repayments against its revolving credit facility in 2024. After working through a comprehensive portfolio review of Osisko's royalty and stream assets, with a focus on the Company's near-to-medium term growth profile and its associated timelines, our new 2025 guidance and updated five-year outlook together provide what management believes to be achievable ranges, based on current information and expectations. Regarding the 2025 GEO delivery guidance, it is worth noting that the expected year-over-year increase in GEO deliveries considers consensus commodity price assumptions and ratios, and more specifically the gold-to-copper ratio, which has recently expanded in gold's favour. This is important as copper is set to become a more meaningful component of our overall GEO delivery mix for 2025 and beyond. The 2025 guidance also factors in the timing and cadence of expected payments from assets transitioning from development to production, where some ramp-ups are going slower than previously anticipated. As a result, Osisko's 2025 GEO delivery profile is expected to be modestly weighted towards the second half of the year. Finally, and most importantly, Osisko's expected growth trajectory over the next five years through 2029 remains intact and robust at over 30%, as anticipated mine expansions, and the construction of new key projects, are all expected to be completed by our operating partners between now and then.'

(2) Non-IFRS Measures Cash margin (in dollars and in percentage of revenues) Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by Osisko as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained from the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues. Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate Osisko's ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as gross margin and operating cash flows, to evaluate Osisko's performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of the cash margin per type of interests (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues) is presented below: Three months endedDecember 31, Years ended December 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 $ $ $ $ Royalty interests Revenues 35,349 32,681 130,375 118,829 Less: cost of sales (excluding depletion) (180) 17 (413) (379) Cash margin (in dollars) 35,169 32,698 129,962 118,450 Depletion (2,160) (4,101) (12,208) (17,796) Gross profit 33,009 28,597 117,754 100,654 Stream interests Revenues 21,393 15,154 60,782 64,399 Less: cost of sales (excluding depletion) (2,001) (2,959) (6,325) (11,956) Cash margin (in dollars) 19,392 12,195 54,457 52,443 Depletion (7,315) (5,469) (20,399) (24,005) Gross profit 12,077 6,726 34,058 28,438 Royalty and stream interestsTotal cash margin (in dollars) 54,561 44,893 184,419 170,893 Divided by: total revenues 56,742 47,835 191,157 183,228 Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) 96.2% 93.8% 96.5% 93.3% Total – Gross profit 45,086 35,323 151,812 129,092 Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share are non-IFRS financial measures and are defined by Osisko by excluding the following items from net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share: foreign exchange gains (losses), impairment charges and reversal related to royalty, stream and other interests, changes in allowance for expected credit losses, write-offs and impairment of investments, gains (losses) on disposal of assets, gains (losses) on investments, share of income (loss) of associates, transaction costs and other items such as non-cash gains (losses), as well as the impact of income taxes on these items. Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of Osisko as a whole for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its consolidated financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share, investors and analysts use adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the results of the underlying business of Osisko, particularly since the excluded items are typically not included in Osisko's annual guidance. While the adjustments to net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share in these measures include items that are both recurring and non-recurring, management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are useful measures of Osisko's performance because they adjust for items which may not relate to or have a disproportionate effect on the period in which they are recognized, impact the comparability of the core operating results from period to period, are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of the business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to adjusted net earnings is presented below: Three months endedDecember 31, Years endedDecember 31, 2024 2023 2024 2023 (in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts) $ $ $ $ Net earnings (loss) 7,105 (51,234) 16,267 (37,426) Adjustments: Impairment of royalty and stream interests - 17,768 49,558 35,711 Foreign exchange loss (gain) 1,771 (3,777) 4,424 (1,134) Share of loss (income) of associates 9,491 252 30,025 (5,937) Changes in allowance for expected credit losses and write-offs - 48,968 (1,399) 76,799 Loss on investments 8,960 10,316 8,957 13,868 Other non-cash losses (gains), net 2,362 (466) 2,362 (466) Tax impact of adjustments 164 (255) (12,920) (7,336) Adjusted earnings 29,853 21,572 97,274 74,079 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (000's) 186,747 185,353 186,290 185,036 Adjusted earnings per basic share 0.16 0.12 0.52 0.40 During the fourth quarter of 2023, the following changes were made to the composition of adjusted earnings: (i) total gains and losses on investments on the statement of income (loss) are now excluded from net earnings (loss); prior to this change, only the unrealized gains and losses on investments were excluded from net earnings (loss); (ii) total foreign exchange gains and losses on the statement of income (loss) are now excluded from net earnings (loss); prior to this change, only the foreign exchange gains and losses adjustments from operation activities on the statement of cash flows were excluded from net earnings (loss); (iii) the tax impact of all adjustments in the calculation of adjusted earnings is now considered; prior to this change, the total deferred income taxes on the statement of earnings (loss) was excluded from net earnings (loss). These changes in the manner in which Osisko calculates adjusted earnings were made to align more closely the calculations with its peers and facilitate the comparison with these companies. These changes also affected adjusted earnings per basic share because they are calculated from adjusted earnings. Quarterly comparative figures have been restated to reflect the current composition of adjusted earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic statements contained in this press release may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and 'forward-looking information' within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements in this press release, forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical fact, that address, without limitation, future events, production estimates of Osisko's assets (including increase of production), the 2025 guidance and the 5-year outlook, timely developments of mining properties over which Osisko has royalties, streams, offtakes and investments, management's expectations regarding Osisko's growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, production costs, carrying value of assets, ability to continue to pay dividend, requirements for additional capital, business prospects and opportunities future demand for and fluctuation of prices of commodities (including outlook on gold, silver, diamonds, other commodities) currency markets and general market conditions. In addition, statements and estimates (including data in tables) relating to mineral reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and similar expressions or variations (including negative variations), or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur.
