(NASDAQ: RGLD)<\/b> (together with its subsidiaries, \u201cRoyal Gold,\u201d the \u201cCompany,\u201d \u201cwe,\u201d \u201cus,\u201d or \u201cour\u201d) announced today the restructuring of our ownership in Artmin Maden\u00e7ilik (\u201cArtmin\u201d), the joint venture company that owns 100% of the Hod Maden Project (the \u201cProject\u201d). The restructuring includes a 50% reduction in Royal Gold\u2019s direct equity ownership in Artmin (from 30% to 15%), the grant to Royal Gold of a new effective 2.5% net smelter return (\u201cNSR\u201d) royalty interest over the Project (the \u201cNew RG Royalty\u201d), and certain rights pertaining to a new royalty interest being granted to SSR Mining, Inc. (\u201cSSR\u201d) over the Project.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs part of this restructuring, SSR and Lidya Maden\u00e7ilik (\u201cLidya\u201d), the additional partner in the ownership of Artmin, have agreed that SSR will sell all its interests in Artmin to Lidya. Additionally, SSR resigned as operator and Lidya assumed operatorship of the Project upon entering into the agreements related to this restructuring. In return, SSR will be granted a new effective 4.0% NSR royalty interest on the Project (the \u201cSSR Royalty\u201d). The full economic burden of both the SSR Royalty and the New RG Royalty will be assumed by Lidya and will not reduce Royal Gold\u2019s economic exposure to its remaining equity interest in Artmin.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cHod Maden is a high-grade and high-margin gold-copper development project and we are pleased to continue our participation in such a way that preserves the value of our ownership while bringing our overall interest more in line with our core royalty and streaming business,\u201d commented Bill Heissenbuttel, President and CEO of Royal Gold. \u201cWe believe the project will benefit from Lidya, an established and experienced local company, increasing its ownership and taking operating control of the joint venture. Lidya is the mining arm of a Turkish conglomerate with the financial and technical resources to effectively develop and operate the project, and we believe a local partner with these credentials is well-positioned to advance this high-quality project.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\nUpon completion of these transactions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nArtmin will be owned 15% by Royal Gold and 85% by Lidya.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nRoyal Gold will obtain acquisition and certain other rights over the SSR Royalty. Royal Gold retains a perpetual right of first refusal (\u201cROFR\u201d) over the sale of the SSR Royalty to a third party, and SSR will not be permitted to sell the royalty without Royal Gold\u2019s consent prior to January 1, 2028. SSR will also grant Royal Gold the option to acquire half of the SSR Royalty (an equivalent 2.0% NSR royalty interest) for $160 million, exercisable from closing through the period that ends 12 months after the achievement of commercial production at the Project.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nRoyal Gold will fund the next $70 million of Project costs (including during the interim period until closing), to be followed by the funding of $397 million of Project costs by Lidya. Further funding would then be split pro rata between Royal Gold and Lidya according to their 15%\/85% ownership in Artmin. Equity funding requirements may be reduced should Artmin secure debt financing for Project development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nClosing for the transactions is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approval from the Turkish General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs. Closing is expected in the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n<p><b>Impact on Royal Gold<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis restructuring is expected to preserve the value of Royal Gold\u2019s existing interests in the Project and reduce Royal Gold\u2019s exposure to capital and operating costs. We expect our overall interest after the restructuring, including the remaining 15% Artmin ownership, the 2.5% New RG Royalty and our existing 2.0% NSR royalty (the \u201cExisting RG Royalty\u201d), to remain approximately 4% of the net asset value of the total Royal Gold portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>\nRoyal Gold expects to receive attributable production of approximately 9,000 GEOs<sup>1<\/sup> per year from the combination of the New and Existing RG Royalties during the first full five years of production from the Project<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><sup>_____________________________<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><sup>1<\/sup> Gold equivalent ounces, or GEOs, is calculated by the Company as revenue for a period divided by the average gold price for that period.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>2<\/sup> Based on the life of mine plan from the SK-1300 technical report published by SSR in January, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>Background on the Hod Maden Project<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Hod Maden Project is a high-grade, bulk-tonnage underground gold-copper development project in northeastern T\u00fcrkiye that is expected to produce a high-grade copper concentrate with significant gold credits. Strong economics are expected to be driven by high gold and copper grades.<\/p>\n<p>\nKey parameters in the updated technical report published in January, 2026, included a 13-year mine life, life of mine production of 1.6 million ounces of gold and 209 million pounds of copper at an estimated average cost of sales of $1,120 per ounce of payable gold and by-product all-in-sustaining costs (\u201cAISC\u201d) of $590 per ounce of payable gold. The estimated remaining development capital cost was $910 million as of November 30, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\nEarly works, including road, tunnel and water diversion construction, started in 2025. Lidya has not yet provided updated timing for project development.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe total private royalty burden on the Project after these changes will increase to 8.5%, which is not expected to materially impact the life of mine plan given the high-grade nature of the Project.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background on Lidya Maden\u00e7ilik<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nLidya is an experienced mining company in T\u00fcrkiye and is the mining arm of Istanbul-based conglomerate \u00c7al\u0131k Holding. Through its former joint venture with Alacer Gold, Lidya discovered, developed and operated the Gediktepe mine in T\u00fcrkiye until its sale to ACG Metals in 2024. Lidya also discovered the Hod Maden copper-gold deposit, a discovery recognized with the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada\u2019s Thayer Lindsley Award for International Mineral Discovery. In addition to its interest in the Hod Maden Project, Lidya currently owns a 20% equity interest in the \u00c7\u00f6pler mine and an approximately 31% equity interest in ACG Metals.<\/p>\n<p>\nGAP \u0130n\u015faat (\u201cGAP\u201d), another subsidiary of \u00c7al\u0131k Holding, is carrying out development and related infrastructure works at the Hod Maden Project. GAP\u2019s additional mining experience includes providing engineering, procurement and construction (\u201cEPC\u201d) services to ACG Metals for the sulphide expansion at the Gediktepe mine and work on the \u00c7\u00f6pler sulphide expansion project.<\/p>\n<p><b>Corporate Profile<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRoyal Gold is a high margin, large-capitalization company that generates strong cash flows from a large and well-diversified portfolio of precious metal streams, royalties and similar production-based interests located in mining-friendly jurisdictions.
