The absence of such terminology does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur, such as the consummation of the Transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. Where, in any forward-looking statement, the Company expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. These and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the completion of the Transaction, including obtaining required stockholder and regulatory approval, may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all; (ii) the ability of Parent to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the Transaction; (iii) potential litigation relating to the Transaction that could be instituted against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or their respective directors, managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; (iv) the risk that disruptions from the Transaction may harm the Company’s business, including current plans and operations; (v) the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel; (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; (vii) continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions; (viii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company’s business; (ix) general economic and market developments and conditions; (x) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the Transaction that could affect the Company’s financial performance; (xi) certain restrictions during the pendency of the Transaction that may impact the Company’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism, pandemics, outbreaks of war or hostilities, as well as the Company’s response to any of the aforementioned factors; (xiii) significant transaction costs associated with the Transaction; (xiv) the possibility that the Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (xv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, including in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee or other expenses; (xvi) the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals may be made in response to the announcement of the Transaction; (xvii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Transaction on the Company’s common stock prices and/or operating results and uncertainty as to the long-term value of Company’s common stock; (xviii) the possibility that the Transaction may not achieve some or all of any anticipated benefits with respect to the Company’s business and the Transaction may not be completed in accordance with our expected plans or at all; (xix) the risks and uncertainties pertaining to the Company’s business, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports filed by the Company with the SEC; and (xx) the risks and uncertainties that are described in the definitive proxy statement available from the sources indicated above. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Transaction, are more fully discussed in the proxy statement.

Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to, and specifically disclaims any obligation to, publicly release the results of any updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

PR Newswire

Designated News Release     
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS


VANCOUVER, BC
, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – “Wheaton achieved record revenue, adjusted net earnings and operating cash flow in 2024, driven by our diversified portfolio of high-quality and long-life assets. We exceeded our production guidance for the year due to outperformances at Salobo and Constancia and are proud to have returned a record level of dividends to shareholders in 2024,” said Randy Smallwood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton Precious Metals. “In 2024, Wheaton remained focused on accretive growth, delivering four new streams and royalties and further reinforcing our industry-leading growth profile.  This impressive growth is readily apparent in our five-year production forecast, where we estimate annual production increasing by 40% to 870,000 gold equivalent ounces. As we enter 2025, we look forward to building off our accomplishments from 2024, delivering on a consistent growth profile, and ultimately creating lasting value for all stakeholders.”

Solid Financial Results and Strong Balance Sheet

  • Fourth quarter of 2024: A record $381 million in revenue, a record $319 million in operating cash flow, $88 million in net earnings and a record $199 million in adjusted net earnings1. Declared a quarterly dividend1 of $0.155 per common share.
  • Full year of 2024: A record $1,285 million in revenue, a record $1,028 million in operating cash flow, $529 million in net earnings and a record $640 million in adjusted net earnings1. Declared record annual dividends1 of $0.62 per common share.

Financial Review


Revenues

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $381 million (62% gold, 35% silver, 1% palladium and 2% cobalt), with the $67 million increase relative to the prior period quarter being primarily due to a 32% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; partially offset by an 8% decrease in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Revenue was $1,285 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a $269 million increase from 2023 due primarily to a 20% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 5% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.


Cash Costs and Margin

Average cash costs¹ in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $441 per GEO³ as compared to $437 in the fourth quarter of 2023. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $2,228 per GEO³ sold, an increase of 41% as compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, a result of the higher realized price per ounce.

Average cash costs¹ in 2024 were $436 per GEO³ as compared to $451 in 2023. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $1,977 per GEO³ sold, a 27% increase from 2023, a result of the higher realized price per ounce coupled with the lower average cash costs due to changes in the sales mix.


Cash Flow from Operations

Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2024 amounted to $319 million, with the $77 million increase due primarily to the higher gross margin.

Operating cash flows in 2024 amounted to $1,028 million, with the $277 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year being due primarily to the higher gross margin.


Voisey’s Bay Impairment

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Voisey’s Bay PMPA”) to acquire from Vale an amount of cobalt equal to 42.4% of the cobalt production from its Voisey’s Bay mine, until the delivery of 31 million pounds of cobalt and 21.2% of cobalt production thereafter for the life of mine for a total upfront cash payment of $390 million.

At December 31, 2024, the Company determined there to be an impairment charge relative to the Voisey’s Bay PMPA due to a significant and sustained decline in market cobalt prices. The Voisey’s Bay PMPA had a carrying value at December 31, 2024 of $340 million. Management estimated that the recoverable amount at December 31, 2024 under the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was $231 million, representing its fair value less cost of disposal and resulting in an impairment charge of $109 million. The recoverable amount related to the Voisey’s Bay PMPA was estimated using an average discount rate of 5.5% and the market price of cobalt of $13.62 per pound.


Produced But Not Yet Delivered

As at December 31, 2024, approximately 163,600 GEO’s3 were produced but not yet delivered representing approximately three months of payable production. This build in PBND is an increase from the preceding four quarters and at the upper end of our guided range of two to three months, due to a significant increase in quarter-over-quarter production driven by increased production at Peñasquito and Salobo, with Salobo representing a quarterly record.


Balance Sheet

(at

December 31, 2024

)

  • Approximately $818 million of cash on hand
  • During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $115 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting of:
    • $44 million relative to the Kurmuk PMPA;
    • $40 million relative to the Marmato PMPA;
    • $25 million relative to the Mineral Park PMPA; and
    • $6 million relative to the Cangrejos PMPA.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company received a repayment of the upfront cash payment of $13 million relative to the El Domo PMPA, with this amount to be re-advanced at a later date.
  • With the existing cash on hand coupled with the fully undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility, the Company believes it is well positioned to fund all outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests. Given the strength of Wheaton’s balance sheet and forecasted cash flows, the Company has elected to not renew its at-the-market equity program, under which no shares have been issued as of December 31, 2024.


Global Minimum Tax

The Company is within the scope of global minimum tax (“GMT”) under the OECD Pillar Two model rules (“Pillar Two”), under which large multinational entities are subject to a 15% GMT. On June 20, 2024, Canada’s Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”), received royal assent. The GMTA enacts the OECD Pillar Two model rules where in scope companies are subject to a 15% GMT for fiscal years commencing on or after December 31, 2023. With the enactment of the GMTA on June 20, 2024, the income of the Company’s subsidiaries which operate in jurisdictions with a statutory tax rate of 0% are subject to the GMTA. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 an amount of $35 million and $114 million, respectively, current tax expense associated with GMT was recorded. GMT accrued to December 31, 2024, is payable on or before June 30, 2026 (18 months following year-end).

Fourth Quarter Operating Asset Highlights


Salobo:
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Salobo produced 84,300 ounces of attributable gold, representing record quarterly production and an increase of approximately 17% relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher throughput, grades and recovery. On January 28, 2025, Vale S.A. (“Vale”) announced the completion of the Salobo III ramp-up and improved performance at Salobo I and II.

On March 4, 2025, Vale informed the Company that it had achieved a sustained throughput capacity of over 35 Mtpa over a 90-day period, indicating completion of the second phase of the Salobo III expansion project. Pending review of the final completion test by the Company, Wheaton anticipates advancing the remaining balance of the expansion payment to Vale, in the amount of $144 million within thirty days of the date of receipt.


Antamina:
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Antamina produced 0.9 million ounces of attributable silver, a decrease of approximately 8% relative to the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower throughput, partially offset by higher recoveries.


Peñasquito

: In the fourth quarter of 2024, Peñasquito produced 2.5 million ounces of attributable silver, an increase of approximately 138% relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, as prior year operations were impacted by a labour strike which began on June 7, 2023 and ended on October 13, 2023 with the safe ramp-up of operations beginning after the end of the strike. On February 20, 2025, Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) announced that co-product production in 2025 is expected to decline as mining moves back into the Peñasco pit which contains lower silver grades relative to the Chile Colorado pit.


Constancia:
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Constancia produced 1.0 million ounces of attributable silver and 18,200 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 16% for silver production and a decrease of approximately 18% for gold production relative to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in silver production, which represented a quarterly record, was primarily due to higher grades. The decrease in gold production was primarily the result of lower gold grades as more material was mined from Constancia and reclaimed from the stockpile compared with the prior year. On February 19, 2025, Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay”) announced that gold production in 2025 is expected to be lower than 2024 levels as additional high grade gold benches were mined in late 2024, ahead of schedule, resulting in gold production exceeding 2024 guidance levels. The Pampacancha deposit is now expected to be depleted in early December 2025 as opposed to October 2025, as the mine plan has smoothed Pampacancha production throughout the year. Total mill ore feed from Pampacancha is expected to be approximately 25% in 2025, lower than the typical one-third in prior years as Pampacancha approaches depletion.



Sudbury
:
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Vale’s Sudbury mines produced 5,000 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 14% relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, due to lower recoveries. 



Stillwater
:
 In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Stillwater mines produced 2,200 ounces of attributable gold and 2,800 ounces of attributable palladium, a decrease of approximately 7% for gold and 34% for palladium relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower throughput as Stillwater West operations were put into care and maintenance on September 12, 2024.


Voisey’s Bay:
 In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Voisey’s Bay mine produced 393,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, an increase of approximately 83% relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey’s Bay underground mine nears completion. On December 3, 2024, Vale reported that it has completed construction and commissioning of the Voisey’s Bay underground mine extension. The expansion transitioned Voisey’s Bay from open pit to underground mining. The project involved the development of two underground mines, Reid Brook and Eastern Deeps, which will deliver ore for processing at Vale’s Long Harbour refinery. The full ramp-up is expected by the second half of 2026.


Other Silver:
 In the fourth quarter of 2024, total Other Silver attributable production was 1.4 million ounces, an increase of approximately 4% relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher production at Zinkgruvan, partially offset by lower production at Neves-Corvo.

Detailed mine-by-mine production and sales figures can be found in the Appendix to this press release and in Wheaton’s consolidated MD&A in the ‘Results of Operations and Operational Review’ section.

Recent Development Asset Updates


Blackwater Project:

Corporate Development


Amendment to the Fenix PMPA
: On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA6, in exchange for which, the Company is committed to pay additional upfront cash consideration of $100 million, payable in two equal installments, subject to various customary conditions being satisfied. To date, no amounts have been advanced under the Fenix PMPA amendment.


Koné Project


:
On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Koné Gold PMPA”)7 with Montage in respect of its 90% owned Koné Gold project located in Côte d’Ivoire.  Under the terms of the Koné Gold PMPA, the Company is committed to pay Montage total upfront cash payments of $625 million, payable in four equal installment payments during construction, subject to certain conditions, including that all permits have been obtained. To date, no amounts have been advanced under the Koné Gold PMPA.


Kurmuk Project:
On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a PMPA (the “Kurmuk Gold PMPA”)8 with Allied Gold Corporation (“Allied”) in respect of its Kurmuk project located in Ethiopia. Under the terms of the agreement, Wheaton is committed to pay Allied total upfront cash payments of $175 million, payable in four equal installment payments during construction, subject to certain conditions. The first payment of $44 million was paid on December 19, 2024.


Amendment to Blackwater PMPA:
On March 7, 2025, the Company amended its PMPA (the “Blackwater Silver PMPA”) with Artemis Gold Inc. (“Artemis”) in respect of silver production from the Blackwater Project located in British Columbia in Canada (the “Blackwater Project”). Under the Blackwater Silver PMPA, Wheaton will acquire an amount of silver equal to 50% of the payable silver until 17.8 million ounces have been delivered and 33% of payable silver thereafter for the life of the mine.

Previously, the determination of payable silver production under the Silver Stream required the application of a complex metallurgical protocol to determine the silver content of the mill feed and applied a fixed recovery rate of 61%. As a result of the amendment, the amount of payable silver will be determined based on a fixed ratio of silver to gold ounces produced. The ratio will be as follows:

  • 5.17 ounces of silver for every ounce of gold produced while the plant throughput is less than 15Mtpa;
  • 5.10 ounces of silver for every ounce of gold produced while the plant throughput exceeds 15Mtpa, but is less than 20Mtpa;
  • 5.07 ounces of silver for every ounce of gold produced while the plant throughput exceeds 20Mtpa.

Once 17.8 million ounces of silver have been delivered, the determination of payable silver will revert to being based on a fixed silver recovery factor, consistent with the previous terms of the Blackwater Silver PMPA. As a result of the changed payable silver profile which is expected to deliver silver ounces to the Company sooner relative to the original profile, on March 10, 2025, the Company paid Artemis $30 million in connection with this amendment.

Sustainability


Future of Mining Challenge

On March 4, 2025, Wheaton announced the winner of its inaugural Future of Mining Challenge. ReThink Milling Inc. has been awarded $1 million for its Conjugate Anvil Hammer Mill and MonoRoll technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize the milling process. This innovative grinding technology demonstrates immense potential to deliver greater efficiency with significantly lower energy use, leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs.


Community Investment Program

  • In 2024, Wheaton contributed more than US$8.5 million to over 130 charitable causes and initiatives globally.
  • Wheaton’s Partner Community Investment Program continues to support initiatives with the Vale Foundation, Vale Canada, Glencore via Antamina, Hudbay Minerals, First Majestic Silver and Sibanye-Stillwater to support the communities influenced by the mines and provide vital services and programs including educational resources, health and dental programs, poverty reduction initiatives, entrepreneurial opportunities, and various social and environmental programs.
  • In November 2024, Wheaton was the presenting sponsor for the Special Olympics BC Sports Celebrities Festival, which raises money for the Canucks for Kids Fund and Special Olympics B.C.’s work to offer year-round programs for athletes with intellectual disabilities of all ages and a wide range of ability levels in 55 communities across British Columbia. The 2024 gala raised $500,000 to support this programming.

Subsequent Events


Declaration of Dividend

The Company has increased its quarterly dividend under its dividend policy, setting it at $0.165 per common share for 2025. This represents a 6.5% increase over the quarterly dividend paid in 2024 and represents the second consecutive year that the dividend has been increased, highlighting the Company’s commitment to a progressive dividend. The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.


Chief Financial Officer Transition

On January 9, 2024, Wheaton announced that Gary Brown will be stepping down from his role as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective March 31, 2025. As part of a planned leadership succession, Vincent Lau, Wheaton’s Vice President of Finance, will be appointed CFO and will join the senior leadership team.

2025 Production Outlook

In 2025, Wheaton provides 2025 production guidance between 600,000 and 670,000 GEOs4. The midpoint of the 2024 guidance range compared to the midpoint of the 2025 guidance range suggests year-over-year production growth of approximately 10%, in alignment with the Company’s previously stated long-term growth forecast. This forecast growth is driven by stronger attributable production from Antamina, the start-up of several development projects, and a stable forecast for Salobo production. This increase is expected to be partially offset by lower production from Peñasquito and Constancia.

Attributable production is forecast to increase at Antamina in 2025 due to expected higher silver grades, as a result of a higher ratio of copper-zinc ore versus copper-only ore being mined in 2025. Wheaton’s 2025 forecast also includes inaugural production from four projects currently in development; Blackwater, Goose, Mineral Park and Platreef, all of which are expected to commence production in 2025. In addition, the Aljustrel mine is anticipated to re-start production in the third quarter of 2025, following the announcement made on September 12, 2023, that as a result of low zinc prices, the production of zinc and lead concentrates would be temporarily halted from September 24, 2023 onward. Increased production from the forementioned assets is anticipated to be offset by lower production at Peñasquito, as mining transitions from the Chile Colorado to the main Peñasco pit, which contains lower relative silver grades. In addition, lower production levels are anticipated at Constancia, predominantly due to additional gold benches being mined in late 2024 that were brought forward from the 2025 plan, coupled with the expectation that total mill ore feed from Pampacancha will be approximately 25% in 2025, lower than the typical one-third in prior years as Pampacancha approaches depletion. After a record-breaking quarter to end 2024, production levels at Salobo are expected to remain consistent, with higher throughput levels attributable to the Salobo III expansion project anticipated to be offset by lower gold grades.

Long-Term Production Outlook

Production is forecast to increase by approximately 40% over the next five years to 870,000 GEOs4 by 2029, due to growth from multiple Operating assets including Antamina, Aljustrel and Marmato; Development assets that are in construction, including the Blackwater, Mineral Park, Goose, Platreef, Fenix, Kurmuk, and Koné projects; and Pre-development assets including the El Domo and Copper World projects.

From 2030 to 2034, attributable production is forecast to average over 950,000 GEOs4 annually and incorporates additional incremental production from Pre-development assets including the Santo Domingo, Cangrejos, Kudz ze Kayah, Marathon and Kutcho projects, in addition to the Mt. Todd, Black Pine and DeLamar royalties.

Not included in Wheaton’s long-term forecast and instead classified as ‘optionality’, is potential future production from nine other assets, including Pascua-Lama and Navidad, in addition to expansions at Salobo outside of the Salobo III mine expansion project.

All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced.

2)

Quantity produced represent the amount of gold, silver, palladium and cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining deductions. Production figures and payable rates are based on information provided by the operators of the mining operations to which the mineral stream interests relate or management estimates in those situations where other information is not available. Certain production figures and payable rates may be updated in future periods as additional information is received.

3)

Comprised of the Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton and Totten gold interests.

4)

Under the terms of the San Dimas PMPA, the Company is entitled to an amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production converted to gold at a fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the “70” shall be revised to “50” or “90”, as the case may be, until such time as the average gold to silver price ratio is between 50:1 to 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more in which event the “70” shall be reinstated. For reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q4 2024 – 295,000 ounces; Q3 2024 – 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 – 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 – 291,000 ounces; Q4 2023 – 378,000 ounces; Q3 2023 – 387,000 ounces; Q2 2023 – 423,000 ounces; Q1 2023 – 401,000 ounces.

5)

GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold; $23.00 per ounce silver; $1,000 per ounce palladium; and $13.00 per pound cobalt; consistent with those used in estimating the Company’s production guidance for 2024.

Non-GAAP Measures

Wheaton has included, throughout this document, certain non-GAAP performance measures, including (i) adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share; (ii) operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted); (iii) average cash costs of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis; and (iv) cash operating margin.

i.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are calculated by removing the effects of  non-cash impairment charges (reversals) (if any), non-cash fair value (gains) losses and other one-time (income) expenses as well as the reversal of non-cash income tax expense (recovery) which is offset by income tax expense (recovery) recognized in the Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and OCI, respectively. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. 

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic and diluted).

Average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion and cost of sales related to delay ounces, by the ounces or pounds sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow.

The cost of sales related to delay ounces is a non-cash expense. Please see the Company’s MD&A for more information.

2)

Cash cost per pound of cobalt sold during the fourth quarter of 2023 was net of a previously recorded inventory write-down of $0.02 million (twelve months – $1.6 million), resulting in a decrease of $0.08 per pound of cobalt sold (twelve months – $0.91 per pound of cobalt sold).

iv.

Cash operating margin is calculated by adding back depletion and the cost of sales related to delay ounces to the gross margin. Cash operating margin on a per ounce or per pound basis is calculated by dividing the cash operating margin by the number of ounces or pounds sold during the period. The Company presents cash operating margin as management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metal mining industry who present results on a similar basis as well as to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash flow.

Cautionary Language Regarding Reserves and Resources

For further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Wheaton’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed on March 28, 2024 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2024, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Wheaton’s Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The Company reports information regarding mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements which are governed by, and utilize definitions required by,  Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Standards”). These definitions differ from the definitions adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) which are applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as “proven mineral reserves”, “probable mineral reserves”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained herein that describes Wheaton’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Wheaton’s Form 40-F, a copy of which may be obtained from Wheaton or from https://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.

End Notes

_____________________________________


1Please refer to disclosure on non-GAAP measures in this press release. Dividends declared in the referenced calendar quarter, are relative to the financial results of the prior quarter. Details of the dividend can be found in Wheaton’s news release dated March 13, 2025, titled “Wheaton Precious Metals Announces Increase to Quarterly Dividend.”


2Statements made in this section contain forward-looking information with respect to forecast production, production growth, funding outstanding commitments, continuing to acquire accretive mineral stream interests and the commencement, timing and achievement of construction, expansion or improvement projects and readers are cautioned that actual outcomes may vary. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for material risks, assumptions and important disclosure associated with this information.


3Gold equivalent forecast production for 2024 and the longer-term outlook are based on the following commodity price assumptions: $2,000 per ounce gold, $23 per ounce silver, $1,000 per ounce palladium, $950 per ounce of platinum and $13.00 per pound cobalt.


4Gold equivalent forecast production for 2025 and the longer-term outlook are based on the following updated commodity price assumptions: $2,600 per ounce gold, $30 per ounce silver, $950 per ounce palladium, $950 per ounce of platinum and $13.50 per pound cobalt. For purposes of comparison, 2024 actual production numbers have been adjusted to reflect 2025 commodity price assumptions.


5Total streaming and royalty agreements relate to precious metals purchase agreements for the purchase of precious metals and cobalt relating to 18 mining assets which are currently operating, 24 which are at various stages of development and 4 of which have been placed in care and maintenance or have been closed.


6On October 21, 2024, the Company amended the Fenix PMPA. Under the original agreement, the Company was to acquire an amount of gold equal to 6% of the gold production until 90,000 ounces have been delivered, 4% of the gold production until the delivery of a further 140,000 ounces and 3.5% gold production thereafter for the life of mine. Under the revised agreement, the Company is entitled to purchase an additional 16% of payable gold production (22% in total) (subject to adjustment if there are delays in deliveries relative to an agreed schedule). Once Rio2 delivers the incremental 95,000 ounces (as adjusted), the stream reverts to the percentages and thresholds under the original Fenix PMPA (as described). Rio2 has a one-time option to terminate the requirement to deliver the incremental gold production from the end of 2027 until the end of 2029 by delivering 95,000 ounces (as adjusted) less previously delivered gold ounces, excluding those gold ounces which would have been delivered under the original Fenix PMPA.


7The Koné PMPA provides that Montage will deliver gold equal to 19.5% of the payable gold production until 400,000 ounces of gold are delivered, then 10.8% until 530,000 ounces are delivered and 5.4% thereafter for the life of the mine. 


8The Kurmuk PMPA provides that Allied will deliver gold equal to 6.7% of the payable gold production until 220,000 ounces of gold are delivered, then 4.8% thereafter for the life of the mine. During any period in which debt exceeding $150 million ranks ahead of the gold stream, the stream percentage increases to 7.15% and decreases to 5.25% once the drop-down threshold is reached.

OpenText Increases Share Repurchase Program to US$450 Million and Establishes Automatic Share Purchase Plan

PR Newswire


WATERLOO, ON
, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX) (the Company), today announced that it has increased its previously announced Fiscal 2025 normal course issuer bid (NCIB) by US$150 million, to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum aggregate value of US$450 million of its common shares (Common Shares). The maximum number of Common Shares that may be acquired under the NCIB will remain unchanged at the 21,179,064 Common Shares previously approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).  Further, as part of the NCIB, it has established an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with its broker to facilitate repurchases of the Common Shares.  

“Our share repurchase program is an important component of the OpenText capital allocation strategy,” said Mark J. Barrenechea, OpenText CEO & CTO. “We have confidence in our business and operating model to generate strong margins, cash flows and long-term shareholder value and, as a result, we are raising our authorized limits under our current share repurchase program by 50% to US$450 million.”

The NCIB is in effect for the 12-month period that commenced August 7, 2024 and terminates August 6, 2025 (subject to earlier termination where the maximum purchase limits under the NCIB have been reached). Common Shares can be repurchased under the NCIB in open market transactions on the TSX, the NASDAQ Global Select Market and/or alternative trading systems in Canada and/or the United States, if eligible, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules. Since the beginning of the NCIB, the Company has purchased for cancellation approximately 8.9 million Common Shares for an aggregate value of approximately US$258 million

Under the terms of the ASPP, the Company’s broker will be permitted to make purchases at its sole discretion based on parameters set by the Company in accordance with TSX rules, applicable law and the terms of the ASPP, during periods when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to make purchases, whether due to regulatory restriction or customary self-imposed blackout periods.  Outside of such periods, Common Shares can be purchased based on management’s discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable law.  

All purchases of Common Shares made under the ASPP will be included in determining the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB. The Company is not currently in possession of any material undisclosed information in relation to the Company. The ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will be effective on March 14, 2025.  The ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (a) the maximum purchase limits under the NCIB are reached; (b) August 6, 2025; or (c) the Company terminates the ASPP in accordance with its terms.

RADIUS RECYCLING to be Acquired by U.S. Subsidiary of TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION (TTC), Accelerating Investment in Future Growth

Radius Recycling Shareholders to Receive $30.00 in Cash Per Share, Delivering Significant Value

TTC’s Investments to Accelerate Radius Recycling’s Growth Strategies and Strengthen Resiliency

TTC Committed to Honoring Collective Bargaining Agreements and Compensation and Benefits Programs for All Radius Recycling Employees

PORTLAND, Ore., March 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Radius Recycling, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDUS) (“Radius” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Toyota Tsusho America, Inc. (“TAI”), a U.S. subsidiary of Toyota Tsusho Corporation (8015.T) (“TTC”), under which TAI will acquire all shares of Radius for $30.00 per share in cash, representing an approximate 115% premium to Radius’ closing share price on March 12, 2025, and an approximate 102% premium over the 90-day volume-weighted average share price (VWAP). Upon completion of the transaction, Radius will continue to operate from its current headquarters in Portland, Oregon with its teams, operating facilities, strategy, and brands retained.

The transaction brings together two companies dedicated to advancing the circular economy by increasing recycling and reducing waste across the industrial, manufacturing, and retail sectors.

For more than a century, Radius has supplied recycled materials and products to customers in North America and around the world. Over this time, the Company has expanded its platform to include innovative metals recovery technologies, Third Party Recycling (3PR™) services and solutions, Pick-N-Pull branded auto recycling and used parts retail stores, and the Cascade electric arc furnace and rolling mill in Oregon. TTC, an affiliate of the Toyota Group, is a prominent Japanese trading company headquartered in Nagoya and Tokyo with approximately $65 billion in global revenue and 70,000 employees worldwide. Like Radius, TTC is a proven leader in metals and automotive recycling and has a successful track record of acquisitions with meaningful investments in the growth and employees of those companies. This transaction will provide Radius with the opportunity to benefit from TTC’s financial strength, recycling technology, and experience in providing recycling services to the automotive sector.

“We are excited to have reached this agreement with TTC, which builds on our longstanding relationship and provides us with increased opportunities for our talented team, broader products and services for our suppliers, customers and communities, and an expanded platform for our more than 100 operating sites while delivering significant immediate value to our shareholders,” said Tamara L. Lundgren, Radius’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Like Radius, TTC is a proven leader in metals and automotive recycling services and solutions, and we look forward to enhancing and expanding our offerings as part of their larger organization while continuing to drive our strategy forward. I am grateful to the entire Radius team, whose hard work and determination have created a strong foundation for our Company, enabling us to embark on this next chapter in our history with TTC.”

“We look forward to collaborating with Radius, whose position as one of North America’s leading recycling companies aligns with our efforts to holistically improve recycling across the supply chain,” said Ichiro Kashitani, TTC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Together, we will strengthen, amplify and grow Radius’ robust networks and integrated operations, better positioning Radius to meet the rapidly increasing demand to improve recycling rates and value recovery and deliver long-term benefits to employees, customers, suppliers, and communities.”

Accelerating Radius’ Strategic Priorities and Supporting Our Stakeholders

  • Increased Resources to Further Strategic Priorities. With TTC’s financial support, Radius will have a greater ability to invest in the continued development of its metals recycling platform, Pick-N-Pull auto recycling business, 3PR™ recycling services and solutions, and Cascade electric arc furnace and rolling mill. Radius will also benefit from TTC’s recycling technologies that seek to increase the recovery of ferrous and nonferrous metals and reduce material going to landfills.

  • Opportunity to Expand and Diversify Business. Radius expects to benefit from TTC’s strong relationships with automotive OEMs and Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers, enabling Radius to expand its opportunities to partner with metals consumers. With a further diversified customer base, Radius will have a more robust operating platform from which to invest in its facilities, grow, and provide enhanced products and services.

  • Investment in Radius’ Operations. TTC recognizes the importance of innovative, closed-loop solutions to improving supply chains, manufacturing activity, and the environment. TTC is committed to investing in the development of Radius’ infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities across its operating sites, with the goal of growing and diversifying Radius’ platform over the long-term.

  • Commitment to Employees. TTC has a track record of supporting its employees and is committed to protecting and creating jobs within Radius. TTC’s high focus on ethics, safety, and environmental stewardship are an excellent fit with Radius’ culture of integrity and sustainability leadership. In addition, TTC is committed to honoring collective bargaining agreements and compensation and benefits programs for Radius employees.

  • Fostering Local Communities. Radius headquarters will remain in Portland, Oregon, and TTC will preserve Radius’ teams, brands, and legacy in local communities. TTC recognizes Radius’ community engagement, including the advancement of local workforce development, promotion of environmental stewardship, support for public safety programs, and service as a critical partner during disaster recovery activities.

  • Meaningful Value for Shareholders. The $30.00 per share cash purchase price represents an approximate 115% premium to Radius’ closing share price on March 12, 2025, and an approximate 102% premium over the VWAP of Radius common stock for the 90 days ending March 12, 2025. The implied total enterprise value of the transaction, including net debt, is approximately $1.34 billion.



Approvals and Timing

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar year 2025, subject to approval by Radius’ shareholders, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.
