Description of Common Stock
The following summarizes the material terms and provisions of the Companys common stock and various provisions of the Companys restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws. For additional information about the terms of the Companys common stock, please refer to the Companys certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the First Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of September 10, 2007 (the stockholder rights agreement). The terms of the Companys common stock may also be affected by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The summary below is not intended to be complete and is qualified by reference to the provisions of applicable law and the Companys certificate of incorporation, bylaws and stockholder rights agreement. This information is being filed in order that it may be incorporated by reference into future registration statements of the Company.
The Companys authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of April 23, 2015, there were 65,187,520 issued and outstanding shares of common stock and one share of preferred stock, designated as The Special Voting Preferred Stock, issued or outstanding. In addition, as of such date, there were 4,482 exchangeable shares of RG Exchangeco Inc., a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of the Company, outstanding which are exchangeable at any time into shares of the Companys common stock on a one-for-one basis and entitle their holders to voting and economic rights that are, as nearly as practicable, equivalent to the voting and economic rights of shares of Royal Gold common stock. Rights to purchase Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the Series A Preferred Stock) have been distributed to holders of the Companys common stock under the stockholder rights agreement. A maximum of 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock is currently authorized for issuance upon exercise of these rights.
The Companys common stock is currently listed and traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and Toronto Stock Exchange.
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held in the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock.
Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably the net assets of the Company available after payment of all debts and other liabilities, subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption, or conversion rights other than the right, when exercisable, to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
The Companys certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal that a stockholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.
Classified Board of Directors. The Companys certificate of incorporation provides for the Companys board of directors to be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three year terms. The classification of the board of directors has the effect of requiring at least two annual stockholder meetings, instead of one, to replace a majority of the members of the board of directors.
Authorized but Unissued or Undesignated Capital Stock. The Companys authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The authorized but unissued (and in the case of preferred stock, undesignated) stock may be issued by the board of directors in one or more transactions. In this regard, the Companys certificate of incorporation grants the board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of directors authority described above could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of common stock and adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of such holders and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. The board of
3
directors does not currently intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law.
Special Meetings of Stockholders. The Companys bylaws provide that special meetings of the Companys stockholders may be called only by the Companys chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer, president or board of directors. Stockholders do not have the right to call special meetings or to bring business before special meetings.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Under Delaware law, unless otherwise provided in a corporations certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a written consent is signed by the holders of the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted. The Companys bylaws provide the same standard for written consent and require a stockholder seeking to take action by written consent to give written notice to the Companys secretary requesting that the board of directors fix a record date and include in such notice certain specified information and representations regarding (i) each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (ii) any other business the stockholder proposes to take by written consent, (iii) the stockholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (collectively, the Proposing Stockholder), (iv) any agreements, arrangements and understandings between the Proposing Stockholder and any other person in connection with the proposal of such business or nominations by the stockholder, (v) whether the Proposing Stockholder is a holder of record of stock and entitled to vote, and (vi) whether the Proposing Stockholder is or intends to be part of a group that intends to solicit consents from stockholders.
Notice Procedures. The Companys bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to all stockholder proposals to be brought before meetings of the Companys stockholders, including proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors and amendments to the Companys certificate of incorporation or bylaws. These procedures provide that, as to matters not sought to be included in the Companys proxy statement, the stockholder must give timely notice of such stockholder proposals in writing to the Companys secretary prior to the meeting and update or supplement such notice, as required by the Companys bylaws. All stockholder proposals must also otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action pursuant to the Companys certificate of incorporation, the Companys bylaws and applicable law. Generally, to be timely a stockholders notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company (a) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting (provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not less than 90 nor more than 120 calendar days before such annual meeting, or not more than 10 calendar days following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company), or (b) in the case of a special meeting, not more than 120 calendar days before such special meeting nor less than the later of (i) 90 calendar days prior to such meeting or (ii) if a public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting less than 100 calendar days prior to such meeting, 10 calendar days following such public announcement. Stockholders are not permitted to make proposals to be brought before any special meeting of the Companys stockholders other than the nomination of candidates for election as directors where the stated purpose for such special meeting includes the election of directors.
Any such notice must include certain specified information and representations regarding (i) each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (ii) any other business the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (iii) the Proposing Stockholder, (iv) any agreements, arrangements and understandings between the Proposing Stockholder and any other person in connection with the proposal of such business or nominations by the stockholder, (v) whether the Proposing Stockholder is a holder of record of stock and entitled to vote, and (vi) whether the Proposing Stockholder is or intends to be part of a group that intends (a) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Companys outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal and/or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal. As to matters sought to be included in the Companys proxy statement, stockholders must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Exhibit 99.1
Royal Gold Reports Record Volume in its Third Fiscal Quarter 2015 Results
DENVER, COLORADO. APRIL 30, 2015: ROYAL GOLD, INC. (NASDAQ:RGLD; TSX:RGL) (together with its subsidiaries, Royal Gold or the Company) reports results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 (third quarter), including revenue of $74.1 million, up 28% from the same period a year ago, and Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $57.7 million, up 16% from the prior year quarter. Streaming revenue was $29.7 million, while royalty revenue was $44.4 million.
The Company reports net income attributable to Royal Gold stockholders (net income) of $25.0 million, or $0.38 per basic share for the third quarter, compared with net income of $20.1 million, or $0.31 per share from the same period a year ago. The increase in our earnings per share was attributable to higher stream revenue from Mount Milligan and a lower effective tax rate.
Third Quarter Highlights Compared with the Year-Ago Quarter:
· Record volume of 60,823 Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs), up 36%;
· Adjusted EBITDA of $57.7 million, up 16%;
· Operating cash flow of $65.9 million, up 47%;
· Net income of $0.38 per share, up 23%; and
· Higher revenue at Mount Milligan, Cortez, Mulatos, and Robinson, amongst others.
The average gold price was $1,218 per ounce for the third quarter, down 6% from $1,293 per ounce in the year ago quarter.
Tony Jensen, President and CEO, commented, Our record volume and robust cash flow reflect the quality of our portfolio. We observed production gains from many properties in our third quarter, which more than offset the lower gold price. Looking forward to the remainder of calendar 2015, we anticipate strengthening production at Peñasquito, the continued ramp-up at Mount Milligan, and the startup of production at Phoenix as sources of future volume growth.
(1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash charges, income tax expense, interest and other expense, and any impairment of mining assets, less non-controlling interests in operating income of consolidated subsidiaries, interest and other income, and any royalty portfolio restructuring gains or losses (see Schedule A).
1
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $57.7 million ($0.89 per basic share), representing 78% of revenue, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $49.7 million ($0.76 per basic share), or 86% of revenue, for the year ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of revenue, was lower in the third quarter due to the inclusion of ongoing stream payments to Mount Milligan of $435 per ounce of gold, which are recorded as a cost of sales and totaled $10.5 million during the third quarter.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital surplus of $733.9 million. Current assets were $759.6 million compared to current liabilities of $25.7 million, for a current ratio of 30 to 1.
The Company reported an effective tax rate of 4% for the third quarter. The U.S. Dollar has appreciated significantly against the Canadian Dollar, resulting in the recognition of unrealized foreign currency gains upon re-measurement of certain of our deferred tax liabilities during the period. We recorded tax benefits of $8.1 million during the third quarter related to these unrealized gains. On a per share basis, these deferred tax benefits resulted in additional earnings per share of $0.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Amendment to Revolving Credit Facility
On April 29, 2015, Royal Gold entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Sixth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement whereby Royal Gold increased the maximum availability from $450 million to $650 million and eliminated the $150 million accordion feature. There were no other changes to the Sixth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, including debt covenants, maturity date, commitment fee and interest rates.
Mount Milligan Gold Stream
On April 16, 2015, Thompson Creek reported that the ramp-up at Mount Milligan continues, with production of approximately 46,100 ounces of payable gold in the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
During the third quarter, Royal Gold, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased approximately 26,200 ounces of physical gold, which came from a combination of provisional and final settlements associated with shipments of concentrate from Mount Milligan. The Company sold approximately 24,200 ounces of gold during the third quarter at an average price of $1,226 per ounce, and had approximately 6,800 ounces of gold in inventory as of March 31, 2015.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, average daily mill throughput was 39,569 tonnes per day, improving to 50,000 to 54,000 tonnes per day during the last half of March. Thompson Creek expects to achieve design throughput of approximately 60,000 tonnes per day by calendar year-end.

Phoenix Gold Project Stream
On April 14, 2015, Rubicon Minerals (Rubicon) announced that mill commissioning at the Phoenix Gold Project (Phoenix) commenced ahead of schedule, and reiterated that Phoenix remains on track for production in mid-2015. Rubicon also announced that it completed 85% of the original underground development planned prior to the start of production.
The Companys final commitment payment of $12.8 million as part of its Phoenix stream acquisition was made in February 2015.
Peñasquito
On April 9, 2015, Goldcorp reported that it integrated its Concentrate Enrichment Process (CEP) and Pyrite Leach Process into a single Metallurgical Enhancement Project (MEP). The MEP entered the feasibility study phase, which Goldcorp expects to be completed in early 2016. Goldcorp indicated that the study is expected to form the basis of a new life-of-mine plan for Peñasquito, and could extend the mine life by more than five years through increased recoveries, the conversion of off-spec lead concentrates to on-spec, the conversion of copper from penalties to payables, and lower mining costs through minimization of re-handling and simplified mining of complex ores.
Ilovitza Project Gold Stream
On January 12, 2015, Euromax Resources (Euromax) announced that it closed a private placement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
During the third quarter, Royal Gold paid its first $7.5 million deposit on the Ilovitza stream, which was conditioned upon Euromax raising an additional $5 million in equity, which was satisfied by the EBRD investment, and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a remaining commitment, subject to certain conditions, of $167.5 million. Euromax completed a prefeasibility study for the Ilovitza project which estimates a 23 year mine life and a production startup in calendar 2018.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights at certain of the Companys principal producing and development properties during the third quarter, compared with the prior fiscal year quarter ended March 31, 2014 are listed below. Production for our producing properties reflects the actual production subject to our interests reported to us by the various operators or from the operators publicly available information.
Principal Producing Properties
Andacollo Payable gold production in concentrates decreased 8% as a result of lower mill production over the last few months. Harder ore and unplanned maintenance downtime in the concentrator impacted copper concentrate shipments early in calendar 2015, while a failure of the tailings thickener and scheduled maintenance impacted mill production in the March quarter,
3
which may impact our June quarter. We are currently expecting a stronger second half of the year at Andacollo.
Cortez Production at Cortez increased 59% over the prior year quarter as surface mining activity increased at the Pipeline Complex, where our royalty applies, while no significant mining activity occurred in these areas during the prior year quarter. While Barrick expects production subject to our royalty interests to be lower in calendar 2015, stripping of the Crossroads Deposit is scheduled to begin in 2015 where reserves subject to our interest total 3 million ounces.
Holt Production decreased 8% as both ore milled and the ore grade were lower. Zone 4 contributed 70% of the ore and Zone 6 contributed the remainder. Although lower than the December 2014 quarter, throughput of 1,200 tonnes per day was in line with the calendar 2014 production rate. Mill recoveries were at their expected 95% level for the current quarter.
Mount Milligan Production increased 18% to 46,100 ounces of payable gold during the quarter. However, throughput and production were impacted by frozen and plugged feeders and unscheduled mechanical issues. Thompson Creek implemented action plans to address the issues. Mill throughput averaged 39,569 tonnes per day during the quarter, compared to 33,278 tonnes per day for the prior year quarter. Throughput improved during the last half of March 2015, achieving 50,000 to 54,000 tonnes per day.
Mulatos Production attributable to our royalty interest increased 24%, aided by the timing of the final settlement of gold that was produced at the end of the fourth calendar quarter of 2014, but for which settlement with the refinery had not yet occurred.
Peñasquito Payable gold production subject to Royal Golds royalty interest, which lags Goldcorps reported production due to the timing of concentrate shipments, increased nearly 50% over the prior year quarter to approximately 174,000 ounces, while silver, lead and zinc production decreased by 16%, 13% and 8%, respectively, over the prior year quarter. Goldcorp expects the gold production for calendar 2015 to be weighted to the second half of the calendar year as mining will move into the higher-grade portions of the Peñasco pit beginning next quarter.
Robinson Gold and copper production significantly increased over the prior year quarter. The increase in production is due to the planned mine sequence moving back to the higher-grade Ruth pit, compared to production from the Liberty pit in the prior year quarter.
Voiseys Bay Nickel production decreased 7%, as the Voiseys Bay mill experienced unplanned maintenance in January to repair the SAG mill. The operation then returned to full production. Copper production increased 8%.
Vale reports that the ramp-up of its new Long Harbour Processing Plant is underway with the plant producing over 500 tonnes of finished nickel in 1Q15. The plant is currently operating on a blend of nickel matte from its Indonesian operations and Voiseys Bay concentrate and will process only Voiseys Bay concentrate as of the end of 2015. Anticipating this transition, the Company has engaged in discussions with Vale concerning calculation of the royalty once
4
Voiseys Bay nickel concentrates are processed at Long Harbour. While the Company may continue to engage in these discussions, there is no assurance that the Company and Vale will reach agreement on the proper calculation under the terms of the royalty agreement.
Historically, Vale has supplied the Company with Voiseys Bay nickel concentrate shipment data on a monthly basis, and copper concentrate shipment data on a quarterly basis. This data has allowed us to estimate our Voiseys Bay quarterly royalty revenue for financial reporting purposes. We did not receive all of this data for the months relevant to the royalty payments due for the December 2014 and March 2015 quarters. Consequently, our March 2015 quarterly revenue estimate is based on historic concentrate shipment data, as well as an adjustment to our estimated December 2014 quarterly revenue based upon the actual royalty payment received in February 2015. For future reporting periods, the Company intends to recognize Voiseys Bay royalty revenue on a cash basis, or in the period in which actual payment information is received from Vale. Accordingly, the revenue recognized for the Voiseys Bay royalty for the June 2015 quarter may only include adjustments from the estimated March 2015 quarterly revenue.
Third quarter production and revenue for the Companys principal royalty and stream interests are shown in Tables 1 and 2, historical production data is shown in Table 3, and a comparison of operators 2015 production estimates to actual production is shown in Table 4. For more detailed information about each of our principal royalty and stream properties, please refer to the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC and available on the SECs website located at www.sec.gov, or our website located at www.royalgold.com.

FOOTNOTES
Tables 1, 2 and 3
(1) |
Reported production relates to the amount of metal sales that are subject to our royalty and stream interests for the stated period, as reported to us by operators of the mines. |
|
|
(2) |
The royalty rate is 75% until 910,000 payable ounces of gold have been produced 50% thereafter. There have been approximately 248,000 cumulative payable ounces produced as of March 31, 2015. Gold is produced as a by-product of copper. |
|
|
(3) |
Royalty percentages: GSR1 and GSR2 0.40 to 5.0% (sliding-scale): GSR3 0.71%; NVR1 1.0140% excluding Crossroads and 0.6186% for Crossroads. |
|
|
(4) |
For our streaming interest at Mount Milligan, our revenue is a product of the reported production, our 52.25% stream interest, an applicable provisional percentage (for the first 12 shipments only) and an average gold sale price for the period. |
|
|
(5) |
The Companys royalty is subject to a 2.0 million ounce cap on gold production. There have been approximately 1.37 million ounces of cumulative production as of March 31, 2015. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce royalty rate): $0.00 to $299.99 1.0%; $300 to $324.99 1.50%; $325 to $349.99 2.0%; $350 to $374.99 3.0%; $375 to $399.99 4.0%; $400 or higher 5.0%. |

SCHEDULE A
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company computes and discloses Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash charges, income tax expense, interest and other expense, and any impairment of mining assets, less non-controlling interests in operating income of consolidated subsidiaries, interest and other income, and any royalty portfolio restructuring gains or losses. Other companies may define and calculate this measure differently. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the performance of our royalty and stream portfolio. Adjusted EBITDA identifies the cash generated in a given period that will be available to fund the Companys future operations, growth opportunities, shareholder dividends and to service the Companys debt obligations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Exhibit 99.3
Royal Gold Announces Ore Reserves and Mineralized Material(1) Associated with its Interests
DENVER, COLORADO. APRIL 30, 2015: ROYAL GOLD, INC. (NASDAQ: RGLD; TSX: RGL), is announcing updated estimates for ore reserves and mineralized material(1) as of December 31, 2014. These figures are provided by the operators, or obtained by Royal Gold through publicly available information, for properties on which the Company holds royalties, streams and similar interests.
At the end of calendar 2014, precious metals reserves on properties subject to the Companys interests were approximately 73.7 million ounces of gold and 764.0 million ounces of silver. This compares to reserves of approximately 78.4 million ounces of gold and 824.4 million ounces of silver estimated as of December 31, 2013.
After applying the Companys interests to the reserves noted above, net gold reserves(2) attributable to Royal Gold totaled approximately 5.1 million ounces, compared with 5.3 million ounces at year-end 2013. On a gold equivalent basis, using a ratio of approximately 50:1 of silver to gold, precious metals reserves attributable to Royal Gold totaled approximately 5.3 million ounces, on a net reserve basis, compared with 5.6 million ounces for the same period ended 2013. The reserve reductions were primarily due to depletion.
The complete Royalty/Metal Stream Portfolio, which includes the ore reserves and mineralized material(1) subject to the Companys interests on producing and development properties, can be found on our website.
For further information about our royalties, metal streams and similar interests, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as our other public reports.
(1) The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize this term. Mineralized material is not part of proven and probable reserves and may never be converted into reserves.
(2) Net gold reserves are calculated net of per ounce payments for the Companys gold streams, such as Mount Milligan.

Cautionary Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates contained herein. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding reserves and additional mineralization estimates provided by the operators or obtained by Royal Gold through publicly available information; the sliding-scale features of our royalty structure at certain of our properties; and estimates of commencement of production at projects in development. Net gold and metal reserves attributable to Royal Golds royalty, stream and other interests are subject to certain assumptions and, like reserves, do not reflect actual ounces that will be produced. Like any royalty, stream or similar interest on a non-producing or not-yet-in-development project, our interests on development projects are subject to certain risks, such as the ability of the operators to bring the projects into production and operate in accordance with their feasibility studies, and the ability of Royal Gold to make accurate assumptions regarding valuation and timing and amount of payments. In addition, many of our interests are subject to risks associated with conducting business in a foreign country, including application of foreign laws to contract and other disputes, foreign environmental laws and enforcement and uncertain political and economic environments. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, changes in precious metals prices, performance of and production at our royalty and stream properties, decisions and activities of the operators of our royalty and stream properties, mine completion, unanticipated grade, geological, metallurgical, processing or other problems the operators of the mining properties may encounter, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, economic and market conditions, and future financial needs of our operators, as well as other factors described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Most of these factors are beyond the Companys ability to predict or control. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made herein. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Set forth below are the definitions of proven and probable reserves used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Reserve is that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Proven (Measured) Reserves are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes, and the grade is computed from the results of detailed sampling, and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that the size, shape, depth and mineral content of the reserves are well established. Probable (Indicated) Reserves are reserves for which the quantity and grade are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance of probable (indicated) reserves, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume geological continuity between points of observation. |
|
|
(5) |
Royal Gold has disclosed a number of reserve estimates that are provided by operators that are foreign issuers and are not based on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions definitions for proven and probable reserves. For Canadian issuers, definitions of mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve, and probable mineral reserve conform to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions of these terms as of the effective date of estimation as required by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. For Australian issuers, definitions of mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve, and probable mineral reserve conform with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia, as amended (JORC Code). Royal Gold does not reconcile the reserve estimates provided by the operators with definitions of reserves used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |
15
(6) |
The reserves reported are either estimates received from the various operators or are based on documentation material provided to Royal Gold or which is derived from recent publicly available information from the operators of the various properties or various recent National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code reports filed by operators. Accordingly, Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the reserve estimates prepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with definitions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |
|
|
(7) |
Mineralized material is that part of a mineral system that has potential economic significance but cannot be included in the proven and probable ore reserve estimates until further drilling and metallurgical work is completed, and until other economic and technical feasibility factors based upon such work have been resolved. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize this term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. |
|
|
(8) |
Some of the operators are Canadian and Australian issuers. Canadian and Australian issuers use the terms mineral resources and its subcategories measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources. For Canadian issuers, the definitions of mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource conform to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions of those terms as of the effective date of estimation, as required by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. For Australian issuers, the definitions of mineral resource, measured mineral resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource conform with the JORC Code. While such terms are recognized and required by Canadian and Australian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. In each case, the mineralized material reported hereunder are estimates previously disclosed by the relevant operator, without reference to the underlying data used to calculate the estimates. Accordingly, Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the estimates prepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with terms recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. |
|
|
(9) |
The additional mineralized material reported are either estimates received by the various operators or are based on documentation material provided to Royal Gold or which is derived from recent publicly available information from the operators of the various properties or various recent National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code reports filed by operators. Accordingly, Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the resource estimates prepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with definitions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. |

Definitions
The Companys royalty portfolio contains several different types of royalties or similar interests which are defined as follows:
Contained Gold Returned (CGR) Royalty: A royalty in which payments are made on the contained ounces in a deposit rather than ounces recovered from metallurgical processing.
Gross Smelter Return (GSR) Royalty: A defined percentage of the gross revenue from a resource extraction operation, less, if applicable, certain contract-defined costs paid by or charged to the operator.

RGLD Gold (Canada) Inc. Exercises Redemption Call Right to Acquire All Outstanding Exchangeable Shares on June 30, 2015
DENVER, April 27, 2015 /CNW/ - ROYAL GOLD, INC. (Royal Gold or the Company) (NASDAQ: RGLD; TSX: RGL) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries RGLD Gold (Canada) Inc. (Callco) and RG Exchangeco Inc. (Canco) announced today that the directors of Canco have established June 30, 2015 as the redemption date (the Redemption Date) for the outstanding exchangeable shares in the capital of Canco (Exchangeable Shares) and Callco has exercised its redemption call right and will acquire all of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares on the Redemption Date.
The Exchangeable Shares were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of International Royalty Corporation by Royal Gold and Canco on February 22, 2010. The terms of the Exchangeable Shares permit their redemption on a date to be established by the directors of Canco once there are fewer than 750,000 Exchangeable Shares outstanding (other than shares held by Royal Gold or its affiliates). As of April 20, 2015, there were approximately 5,000 Exchangeable Shares outstanding.
On the Redemption Date, holders of Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to receive, for each Exchangeable Share held, one share in the capital stock of Royal Gold plus any declared and unpaid dividends on an Exchangeable Share held by a holder on a dividend record date which occurred prior to the date of the acquisition of such share by Callco. On and after the Redemption Date, former holders of the Exchangeable Shares will no longer be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the entitlement to the foregoing consideration.
A cover letter from Canco providing additional information with respect to the purchase of the Exchangeable Shares, along with a Notice of Exercise of Redemption Call Right and a Letter of Transmittal, will be mailed today to registered holders of the Exchangeable Shares. Copies of such documents will be filed on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.
