Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (with its subsidiaries, "Triple Flag" or the "Company") (TSX:TFPM, NYSE:TFPM) announced its results for the third quarter of 2024 and declared a dividend of US$0.055 per common share to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2024. All amounts are expressed in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

"With record GEOs sales, record revenue and most importantly, record operating cash flow per share, I am very pleased to present our third quarter results to our shareholders. We are well on track to achieve guidance for 2024 of 105,000 to 115,000 GEOs. Our world-class portfolio has delivered over 70% year-on-year growth in operating cash flow per share within a strong precious metals price environment, driven by sales from our cornerstone assets Northparkes and Cerro Lindo. Towards the end of the third quarter, we were pleased that Triple Flag was included in the S&P/TSX Composite Index, enabling us to benefit from exposure to a broader investor base as well as greater liquidity and trading flexibility. As we conclude 2024, Triple Flag is well-positioned to continue delivering higher sales to drive increasing cash flow, accretive acquisitions, as well as a demonstrated commitment for returns to shareholders," commented Sheldon Vanderkooy, CEO.

Q3 2024 Portfolio Updates

Significant newsflow and milestones related to assets within our portfolio announced during the third quarter of 2024 are detailed below.

Australia:

Northparkes (54% gold stream and 80% silver stream): Sales from Northparkes in Q3 2024 were 6,738 GEOs, compared to 6,620 GEOs in Q2 2024 and 3,919 GEOs in Q3 2023. We continue to expect higher grade open pit ore from E31 and E31N to contribute to mill feed blend through at least 2025.

Development of the sub-level ("SLC") cave at E48 commenced in July 2024 with commissioning on-track for the second quarter of 2025. This orebody's higher reserve grade of 0.41 g/t Au is expected to partially offset the depletion of the E31 and E31N open pits, with a current minelife expected to end in 2034. A pre-feasibility study for the E48 SLC remains scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2025.

First production from the E22 orebody is expected during Evolution's fiscal year ending June 30, 2029, with a current reserve grade of 0.37 g/t Au. A SLC hybrid option study for E22 is expected to be completed by June 30, 2025.

Additionally, exploration at the Major Tom and E51 targets continues to return encouraging results on the growth potential for near surface copper-gold mineralization. Both open pit targets are located within three kilometers of the processing plant, with recent assays including 26.0 meters grading 1.04% copper and 0.15 g/t gold. Drills continue to turn with the objective of delineating the full extent of mineralization at both Major Tom and E51. A maiden resource for E51 is expected in the second quarter of 2025.
Beta Hunt (3.25% GR gold royalty and 1.5% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Beta Hunt in Q3 2024 equated to 1,101 GEOs.

In September 2024, Westgold declared an inaugural exploration target for the Fletcher Zone of Beta Hunt totaling 23 to 27 million tonnes at 2.1 to 2.5 g/t Au containing 1.6 to 2.1 million ounces of gold. This compares to the current resource base at Beta Hunt of 17.7 million tonnes grading 2.74 g/t Au at 1.6 million ounces in the M&I category (inclusive) and 12.9 million tonnes grading 2.63 g/t Au at 1.1 million ounces in the inferred category, comprising of the Western Flanks, A Zone, Larkin and Mason deposits.

The Fletcher Zone is a substantial discovery at Beta Hunt and is interpreted to represent a new gold mineralized structure parallel to the Western Flanks deposit of the mine, 300 meters to the west. Western Flanks is currently the primary source of gold ore for Beta Hunt. Across a two-kilometer strike zone, a minimum of three drill rigs is expected to focus on resource definition drilling over the near term at the Fletcher Zone. Westgold is also advancing decline development from Western Flanks towards the Fletcher Zone to access a potential new mining front.

Separately, the expansion project to achieve consistent mine throughput at Beta Hunt of 2 million tonnes per annum is expected to be completed during the first half of 2025. Westgold is developing a comprehensive infrastructure replacement and upgrade plan to support the expected higher productivity levels at Beta Hunt, focusing primarily on electrical, ventilation and water distribution networks.
Fosterville (2.0% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Fosterville in Q3 2024 equated to 1,254 GEOs. Fosterville is also currently advancing an upgrade of the primary ventilation system to sustain the mining rate in the Lower Phoenix zones in future years. The operator expects the project to be completed by early 2025. Fosterville continues to focus on productivity gains and cost control at the mine and the mill to maximize throughput and reduce unit costs to ensure that the asset remains a sustainable producer of 175,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold annually.

Latin America:

Cerro Lindo (65% silver stream): Sales from Cerro Lindo in Q3 2024 were 6,991 GEOs. Ongoing exploration at Cerro Lindo is primarily focused on extending the mineralization of near mine targets known as Orebodies 8B, 9 and 6a, as well as the Patahuasi Millay target located within Triple Flag's stream area.
Camino Rojo (2.0% NSR gold royalty on oxides): Royalties from Camino Rojo in Q3 2024 equated to 635 GEOs. In October 2024, Orla Mining announced an increase in production guidance for Camino Rojo to 130,000 to 140,000 ounces of gold. This represented the second increase in production guidance for the asset in 2024, following the introduction of initial guidance of 110,000 to 120,000 ounces of gold and then a subsequent increase to 120,000 to 130,000 ounces of gold in August 2024.

Strong year-to-date outperformance at Camino Rojo has been driven by improved recoveries from finer crushing, higher tonnes stacked and increased processed grade.
Buriticá (100% silver stream, fixed ratio to gold): Sales from Buriticá in Q3 2024 were 1,834 GEOs. Throughout 2024, Buriticá was able to maintain steady operations; however, due to the ongoing presence of illegal miners, certain areas of the mine were avoided as a precautionary measure. The mine site continues to engage closely with the surrounding community on illegal mining with support by national institutions including the National Police of Colombia.

North America:

Young-Davidson (1.5% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Young-Davidson in Q3 2024 equated to 711 GEOs. In September 2024, Alamos narrowed production guidance for 2024 to 180 to 190 thousand ounces of gold, and reiterated 2025 and 2026 guidance of 180 to 195 thousand ounces of gold for each year.
Florida Canyon (3.0% NSR gold royalty): Royalties from Florida Canyon in Q3 2024 equated to 454 GEOs. The previously announced acquisition of Florida Canyon Gold Inc. by Integra Resources remains scheduled to close in November 2024.
Gunnison and Johnson Camp Mine (3.5% to 16.5% copper stream and 1.5% GR copper royalty): On May 15, 2024, Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto venture, announced that it elected to proceed to Stage 2 of a two-stage work program on the use of copper heap leach technologies for primary sulphide mineralization at Excelsior Mining's 100%-owned Johnson Camp Mine ("JCM") property in Arizona.

Triple Flag owns a 1.5% GR copper royalty on JCM, which is also within the coverage area of the Company's separate oxide copper stream on Excelsior's flagship Gunnison property.

In October 2024, Excelsior announced that all permits to commence operations at JCM has been received. This follows the commencement of construction at JCM in August 2024. First Nuton copper production continues to be expected in the first half of 2025. The site has an existing and fully operational SXEW processing plant.

Revenue from JCM will be used to pay back the costs of Stage 2 at Nuton and the fulfillment of royalty and stream obligations, as well as other project costs. Under a 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment, JCM is currently designed to produce 492 million pounds of copper over a 21-year mine life based on conventional open pit mining.
Hope Bay (1.0% NSR gold royalty): Exploration drilling during the third quarter of 2024 returned strong results in the Patch 7 area of the Madrid deposit, including 18.3 g/t gold over 16.4 meters and 16.8 g/t gold over 27.3 meters. This area continues to show excellent continuity as well as grades and thicknesses greater than average for the Madrid deposit. Agnico Eagle expects that the 2024 drilling in this area should increase mineral resources and upgrade the mineral resource classification at year-end.

Further drilling in the fourth quarter of 2024 will be supported by a newly constructed, 2.3 kilometer surface exploration track that connects the nearby Madrid infrastructure with Patch 7. Agnico Eagle highlighted that this track could be used for potential future development of the Patch 7 area.

Agnico Eagle expects to report results from an internal technical evaluation by early 2026, including an evaluation on whether to retrofit the existing Doris mill or build a new mill closer to Madrid.
South Railroad (2.0% NSR gold and silver royalty, partial coverage): In October 2024, Orla announced permitting and construction timelines for the 100%-owned South Railroad heap leach project located in Nevada. A record of decision for the project is expected in mid-2026, with first gold pour in 2027.

Separately, Orla is expected to complete a 23,000-meter drill program at South Railroad in 2024. This program is aimed at testing potential extensions of known oxide zones, including at the Dark Star deposit within Triple Flag's royalty coverage area. Recent assays are encouraging, highlighting the oxide and sulphide growth potential of Dark Star, including 0.67 g/t Au over 45.7 meters.
Fenn-Gib (1.0% to 1.5% NSR gold and silver royalty): Fenn-Gib is a 100%-owned gold deposit that straddles the Pipestone fault in Northern Ontario, operated by Mayfair Gold. Conceptually, the deposit is currently designed to be mined by bulk tonnage, open pit methods. An updated resource was released in September 2024 of 181 million tonnes grading 0.74 g/t Au at 4.3 million ounces in the indicated category and 8.9 million tonnes grading 0.49 g/t Au at 141 thousand ounces. A pre-feasibility study remains underway.

Rest of World:

Impala Bafokeng (70% gold stream): Sales from Impala Bafokeng in Q3 2024 were 1,381 GEOs. Development of the asset's value driver, Styldrift, remains ongoing with a steady ramp-up expected to deliver improved efficiencies given current market conditions. During the third quarter of 2024, Impala Platinum Holdings Limited ("Implats") commenced a restructuring process to rationalize and optimize labor deployment across corporate and operational functions. The integration of processing facilities across the Western Limb operations of Impala Rustenburg and Impala Bafokeng has started, resulting in improved plant availability and recovery. Implats expects monthly milled throughput of 230 thousand tonnes at Styldrift by the end of its 2027 fiscal year.
Agbaou (2.5% NSR gold royalty and 3.0% gold stream): Sales from our royalty interest on Agbaou equated to 164 GEOs in Q3 2024. Sales from our stream interest on Agbaou were 1,339 GEOs, including 1,202 GEOs related to the period from January 1, 2024, to August 14, 2024. The current exploration program at Agbaou is the largest in the asset's operating history. During the third quarter of 2024, 8,003 meters were drilled at Agbaou, focused on the North Pit Extension and Agbaou South.
Bonikro (3.0% gold stream): Sales from Bonikro in Q3 2024 were 2,036 GEOs, including 1,890 GEOs related to the period from January 1, 2024, to August 14, 2024. Ongoing exploration at Bonikro is focused on the Oume and Hire targets, with a total of 20,582 meters drilled in the third quarter of 2024.
Koné (2.0% NSR gold royalty, partial coverage): In July 2024, Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage") announced that the 100%-owned Koné gold project in Côte d'Ivoire was fully permitted.

In August 2024, Montage completed a C$180 million brokered private placement to advance the Koné project, which included a new strategic investment by Zijin Mining in exchange for a 9.9% ownership interest. Additionally, the Lundin family increased their ownership interest in Montage to 19.9% from approximately 18% previously.

In October 2024, Montage announced it has secured a $825 million financing package with Wheaton Precious Metals and Zijin Mining to fully advance Koné to production. Pro-forma liquidity available to Montage is now approximately $970 million versus initial capital of $712 million as per the January 2024 definitive feasibility study for Koné.
ATO (25% gold stream and 50% silver stream): Sales from the ATO streams in Q3 2024 were 1,591 GEOs. On August 1, 2024, the previously announced merger of Steppe Gold and Boroo Gold was completed. The completion of this acquisition has established Steppe Gold as the largest gold producer in Mongolia, providing further financial strength, asset diversification and scale.

Commissioning of the ATO Phase 2 Expansion project remains on track for the first half of 2026.

On March 15, 2024, Triple Flag entered into an agreement with Steppe Gold to acquire a prepaid gold interest. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made a cash payment of $5 million to acquire the prepaid gold interest, which provides for the delivery of 2,650 ounces of gold that will be delivered by Steppe Gold over five months. Triple Flag expects the August and September deliveries under the prepaid gold interest to be received by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Prieska (0.8% GR royalty and 84% gold and silver stream, fixed ratio): Orion Minerals Limited ("Orion Minerals") is advancing mine scheduling and design work for the fully permitted Prieska copper and zinc project. The updated feasibility study is expected to be completed in early 2025.

Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors

Information contained or referenced in this press release or in the documents referenced herein concerning the properties, technical information and operations of Triple Flag has been prepared in accordance with requirements and standards under Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300"). Because the Company is eligible for the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System adopted by the SEC and Canadian Securities Administrators, Triple Flag is not required to present disclosure regarding its mineral properties in compliance with S-K 1300. Accordingly, certain information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.

Technical and Third-Party Information

Triple Flag does not own, develop or mine the underlying properties on which it holds stream or royalty interests. As a royalty or stream holder, Triple Flag has limited, if any, access to properties included in its asset portfolio. As a result, Triple Flag is dependent on the owners or operators of the properties and their qualified persons to provide information to Triple Flag and on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which Triple Flag holds stream, royalty or other similar interests. Triple Flag generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although Triple Flag does not believe that such information is inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate.

Endnotes

Endnote 1: Gold Equivalent Ounces ("GEOs")

GEOs are a non-IFRS measure that is based on stream and royalty interests and calculated on a quarterly basis by dividing all revenue from such interests for the quarter by the average gold price during such quarter. The gold price is determined based on the LBMA PM fix. For periods longer than one quarter, GEOs are summed for each quarter in the period. Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance across our stream and royalty portfolio for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. GEOs are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measures are not necessarily indicative of gross profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles GEOs to revenue, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure:

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30		September 30
($ thousands, except average gold price and GEOs information)	2024	2023	2024	2023
Revenue	73,669	49,425	194,778	152,285
Average gold price per ounce	2,474	1,928	2,296	1,930
GEOs	29,773	25,629	84,759	78,844

Endnote 2: Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings is a non‑IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses;
gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests;
foreign currency translation gains/losses;
increase/decrease in fair value of investments;
non-recurring charges; and
impact of income taxes on these items.

Management uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that adjusted net earnings is a useful measure of our performance because impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses, gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests, foreign currency translation gains/losses, increase/decrease in fair value of investments, and non-recurring charges do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our core business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The tax effect is also excluded to reconcile the amounts on a post-tax basis, consistent with net earnings. Management's internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the types of items we adjust for. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables users to better understand the underlying operating performance of our core business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-IFRS measures used by industry analysts and other streaming and royalty companies. Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measures are not necessarily indicative of gross profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. The following table reconciles adjusted net earnings to net earnings, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted Net Earnings

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30						September 30
($ thousands, except share and per share information)	2024			2023			2024			2023

Adjusted net earnings per share	$	0.15		$	0.10		$	0.39		$	0.27

Impairment charges and expected credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are largely due to impairments taken on the Nevada Copper stream and related interests as well as impairments taken on the Moss stream and related interests. Impairment charges and expected credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are largely due to impairments taken on the Renard Mine and related interests, operated by the Stornoway Diamond Corporation.
Loss on disposal of mineral interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 represent the loss on the Eastern Borosi NSR due to a buyback exercised by the operator.

Endnote 3: Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non‑IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

income tax expense;
finance costs, net;
depletion and amortization;
impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses;
gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests;
foreign currency translation gains/losses;
increase/decrease in fair value of investments;
non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and other; and
non‑recurring charges

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund acquisitions. Management uses adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes, whereby adjusted EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or ‘‘multiple'' that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between adjusted EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company.

In addition to excluding income tax expense, finance costs net, and depletion and amortization, adjusted EBITDA also removes the effect of impairment charges, write-downs, and reversals, including expected credit losses, gain/loss on sale or disposition of assets/mineral interests, foreign currency translation gains/losses, increase/decrease in fair value of investments, non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and other and non-recurring charges. We believe these items provide a greater level of consistency with the adjusting items included in our adjusted net earnings reconciliation. We believe this additional information will assist analysts, investors and our shareholders to better understand our ability to generate liquidity from operating cash flow, by excluding these amounts from the calculation as they are not indicative of the performance of our core business and not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or operating cash flow as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net earnings, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Impairment charges and expected credit losses are largely due to impairments taken on the Nevada Copper stream and related interests as well as impairments taken on the Moss stream and related interests.
Loss on disposal of mineral interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 represents the loss on the Eastern Borosi NSR due to a buyback exercised by the operator.

Endnote 4: Gross Profit Margin and Asset Margin

Gross profit margin is an IFRS Accounting Standards financial measure which we define as gross profit divided by revenue. Asset margin is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define by taking gross profit and adding back depletion and non-cash cost of sales related to prepaid gold interests and other and dividing by revenue. We use gross profit margin to assess profitability of our metal sales and asset margin to evaluate our performance in increasing revenue, containing costs and providing a useful comparison to our peers. Asset margin is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The following table reconciles asset margin to gross profit margin, the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30						September 30
