Page 6 of 6

Andrew Gubbels: Yes, no, it’s a good question and good to provide clarity. So it is a net profit royalty that we have at Granite Creek, and it’s one of the few net profit, bottom line royalties we have in our portfolio. The reason we got really excited about this royalty in particular, was the grade of the underground and the potential for a very high margin deposit. With IAD [ph] bringing that asset forward, the current underground resource is over 11 grams per ton, and the continued expiration success of the South Pacific Zone could see that expand and potentially improve as well. So because of the potential for a high grade, high margin deposit here, it was one of the rare occasions where we did find the net profit interest quite attractive. But I would note that the vast majority of our portfolio, there’s only a handful, only a couple actual net profit interest. Almost all of our royalties are top line net smelter return royalties or gross revenue royalties.

Joanne Jobin: Okay. And what are your plans for the cash generated in 2024? Do you have any preferences?

David Garofalo: No. Look, I think, as I said earlier, returning capital to shareholders is something that’s definitely on the table that we’ll discuss as we get into sustainable free cash flow. But we’re looking at a significant, a number of opportunities that will help us grow our business accretively, and putting that cash to work, I think, is a priority.

Joanne Jobin: Excellent. And David, there’s been a number of questions regarding the share price and performance, and perhaps you can comment on that.

David Garofalo: Well, we’ve had a very good start in the year. We’ve certainly been a relative outperformer, a dramatic relative outperformer to the sector. And I think that’s really a testament to the fact that we’re pivoting into free cash flow territory. As I said, we had our first order positive adjusted earnings fourth [ph] quarter of last year and that we’re poised to deliver positive earnings and positive free cash flow going forward. And I think the market recognizes that, that we have unparalleled growth in the sector.
