• Approximate 300% increase in
both revenue and Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and
Interest* from the same period of 2023.
•
Côté royalty, acquired in 2022, commences payments in the second

VANCOUVER, BC, July 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - Gold Royalty Corp.
("Gold Royalty" or the "Company") (NYSE American:
GROY) is pleased to announce strong second quarter 2024 revenue and
Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest*, driven by the
Company's cornerstone royalties, recent royalty acquisitions and
its unique royalty generator model. All amounts are expressed in
U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
Preliminary Second Quarter 2024 Revenue
Gold Royalty recorded preliminary second quarter 2024 Total
Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest* of $2.2 million (Revenue of $1.8 million), representing a 298% increase
compared to the same period of 2023 and equating to 947 gold
equivalent ounces ("GEOs")*. For the six months ended
June 30, 2024, the Company recorded
preliminary Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest* of
$6.4 million (Revenue of $4.7 million), representing a 153% increase
compared to the comparable 2023 period and equating to 2,967
GEOs*.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded its first
royalty payment from IAMGOLD's Côté Gold Mine and continued to
benefit from its existing cash flowing royalties at the Borborema
Project and the Canadian Malartic, Cozamin, and Borden Mines. The Company's royalty generator
model added $0.4 million in land
agreement proceeds in the quarter.
As previously disclosed, the company expects to see further
growth in Revenue in the second half of 2024 with strong commodity
prices, the expected ramp up of Côté towards commercial production
in the third quarter of 2024, and the commencement of commercial
production at the Vares Project in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Company remains on track to meet its previously disclosed
updated forecast for 2024 of between approximately 6,500 and 7,000
GEOs, which equates to approximately $13
million to $14million in
forecasted Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and Interest.
The 2024 foregoing outlook is based on an assumed gold price of
$2,000 per ounce and copper price of
$4.25 per pound and on public
forecasts, expected development timelines and other disclosure by
the owners and operators of the properties underlying our interests
and our assessment thereof.
* Total GEOs and Total Revenue, Land Agreement Proceeds and
Interest are non-IFRS financial measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures"
below.
