Guidance for 2026 and 5-Year Outlook
2026 Guidance
The 2026 guidance assumes ramp-ups at both the Dalgaranga and San Gabriel mines, as well as first payments received under those gross revenue and NSR royalties from Ramelius Resources Ltd. and Buenaventura, respectively. The guidance also assumes increased payments associated with GEOs earned from the Company’s 2.0% NSR royalty covering Cardinal Namdini Mining Ltd.’s Namdini mine. In addition, the guidance assumes relatively consistent year-over-year GEO deliveries from Capstone Copper Corp.’s Mantos Blancos mine. Finally, the guidance assumes conservative estimates of GEOs expected to be earned from Harmony Gold Mining Ltd.’s (“Harmony”) CSA mine, as Harmony’s ownership transition continues and the Harmony team continues to condition the asset for optimized performance over the long-term.
OR Royalties’ 2026 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,

Notes:
(1) Gold Equivalent Ounces
GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. 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 earned 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. Cash royalties, other metals and commodities are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price per ounce for the period.

(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
Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate OR Royalties’ 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 OR Royalties’ 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.
