Asset Portfolio Updates

Auramet Gold Stream

On September 27, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Auramet Capital Partners, L.P., an affiliate of Auramet International LLC, to acquire a gold stream and enter a long-term strategic partnership.

Maverix made a cash payment of $50 million to acquire a gold stream that will deliver 5,000 ounces of gold to Maverix per year. The gold stream shall be delivered quarterly and Maverix will make ongoing cash payments equal to 16% of the spot gold price for each gold ounce delivered. After a total of 50,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to the stream, Auramet shall have the option to terminate the stream for a cash payment of $5 million less certain cash flows related to the stream.

In addition to the gold stream, Maverix will be entitled to receive an amount in gold that is equivalent to all dividends distributed by Auramet on 2% of its shares outstanding, which is done semi-annually.

On October 18, 2021, the Company increased and expanded its royalty interest at the Omolon gold mine operated by Polymetal International plc (“Polymetal”). Maverix made a cash payment of $23.5 million to increase its effective interest to a 2.5% gross revenue royalty and expand the royalty coverage to include all 13 licenses that currently comprise the Omolon hub and potentially an additional three that are in the application phase.
