Alpala, the main target in the Cascabel concession, is a copper- gold porphyry deposit and represents one of the largest copper-gold projects being advanced globally. The Cascabel project is owned by Exploraciones Novamining SA, which was previously held 85% by SolGold and 15% by Cornerstone Capital Resource Inc. (“Cornerstone”). In February 2023, SolGold consolidated a 100% interest in the Cascabel project, merging with Cornerstone. The royalty is in reference to all minerals produced with the option of Franco- Nevada to convert the royalty to a gold NSR for a period of time once Alpala is producing. Franco-Nevada is further entitled to receive certain minimum royalty payments starting in 2028, subject to certain conditions. The royalty agreement includes an option to buy back 50% of the royalty for a period of time and convert to all precious metals. SolGold completed a prefeasibility study on the Cascabel project in April 2022. The prefeasibility study contemplated an underground block cave and outlined a Probable Mineral Reserve containing 9.4 million ounces of gold, 3.3 million tonnes of copper, and 30 million ounces of silver (558 million tonnes grading 0.52 g/t Au, 0.58% Cu and 1.65 g/t Ag). The inclusive Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource comprised 2,663 million tonnes at 0.53% CuEq for 21.7 million ounces of gold, 9.9 million tonnes of copper, and 92.2 million ounces of silver. The prefeasibility study contemplates an initial 26-year mine life, with potential mine life upside in excess of 50 years following the initial life of mine. On achieving nameplate capacity, an average of approximately 190,000 tonnes of copper, 680,000 ounces of gold and 1.4 million ounces of silver per year is expected over the initial five years of production. Exploration has yielded encouraging results on the broader Cascabel concessions with the identification of a highly mineralized system at TAM, which is located approximately 3 km north of the Alpala deposit, that has open-pit mining potential, and is covered by the Franco-Nevada royalty. SolGold declared a maiden mineral resource at TAM in October 2021 with a subsequent update in May 2022 comprising 528.5 million tonnes at 0. 36% copper equivalent containing 1.27 million tonnes of copper and 3.16 million ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, plus 105.1 million tonnes at 0.36% copper equivalent containing 0.26 million tonnes of copper and 0.62 million ounces of gold in the Inferred category.

Copper has been converted to Royalty Ounces assuming $4.00 per pound and silver has been converted to Royalty Ounces assuming $1,800/oz gold and $21.00/oz silver ($1,800/oz gold and $23.00/oz silver in 2021, $1,750/oz gold and $25.00/oz silver in 2020) In 2020, Franco-Nevada acquired a 1% NSR on the Cascabel copper-gold-silver project located in northern Ecuador being advanced by SolGold plc (“SolGold”).
