ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-280817) that was filed with the SEC, and declared effective by the SEC on August 2, 2024, using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we are offering ● common shares at a public offering price of $● per share under this prospectus supplement.
Before buying any of the common shares that we are offering, we urge you to carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and all of the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, as well as the additional information described under the headings “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.” These documents contain important information that you should consider when making your investment decision.
We provide information to you about this offering of common shares in: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; and (2) the accompanying prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents combined.

If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date, for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.
You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus filed by us with the SEC. We have not, and the Underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the securities described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy such securities in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any related free writing prospectus is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed materially since those dates. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, in their entirety before making an investment decision.
We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you.

We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, the common shares offered by this prospectus supplement only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the common shares offered by this prospectus supplement in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the common shares and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus outside the United States. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any common shares offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.
Neither we nor the Underwriters have taken any action that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States . You are required to inform yourselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to this offering and the distribution of this prospectus.
We are also offering the common shares in Canada by way of a separate Canadian prospectus supplement, of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. The Canadian prospectus supplement, which will be filed with the securities regulators in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Québec and Nunavut, has the same date as this prospectus supplement and contains substantially the same information but has a different format and is not considered part of this prospectus supplement. The offering being made in the United States is being made solely on the basis of the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Investors should take this into account when making investment decisions.
NBF, RBC and ● are not registered as broker-dealers in the United States and, accordingly, will only sell offered common shares in Canada, and BMO, ● and ● are not registered as investment dealers in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, will only sell offered common shares in the United States.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We report under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. None of the financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We present our financial statements in U.S. dollars.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. The disclosure of scientific and technical information regarding the properties underlying our royalty, stream and similar interests contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, is presented in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“SK1300”), which differs from the disclosure requirements set forth under Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43- 101”).
In many cases, the owners and operators of the mineral properties underlying our royalty, stream and similar interests have disclosed scientific and technical information regarding such projects pursuant to NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Definition Standards”), adopted by the CIM Council, as amended, which differs from the requirements under SK1300. In addition, certain of the operators of the properties underlying our interests prepare mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC”), which differs from NI 43-101 and SK1300. Specifically, disclosure regarding the Pedra Branca Gold-Copper Project (“Pedra Branca”) prepared and disclosed by BHP Group Limited (“BHP”) has been prepared under JORC, which differs from NI 43-101 and SK1300.
Under SK1300, the SEC recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. U.S. shareholders are cautioned that while terms are substantially similar to CIM Definition Standards, there are differences in the definitions and standards under SK1300 and the CIM Definition Standards and JORC. Accordingly, there is no assurance that estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves disclosed by the operators underlying our royalty and other interests under NI 43-101 or JORC or disclosed by us in our Canadian disclosure documents will be the same as the reserve or resource estimates prepared by U.S. companies under SK1300.
Readers should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in the “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. shareholders are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information about us, this offering and information contained in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. You should carefully read and consider this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents, including the financial statements and related notes, and information incorporated by reference herein and therein, and including the information under “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, before making an investment decision. If you invest in our securities, you are assuming a high degree of risk.
Our Company
We are a precious metals focused royalty company offering creative financing solutions to the metals and mining industry. Our diversified portfolio currently includes 253 royalties across various stages, including 7 royalties on producing projects.
Our mission is to acquire royalties, streams and similar interests at varying stages of the mine life cycle to build a balanced portfolio offering near, medium and longer-term returns for our investors.
In carrying out our long-term growth strategy, we seek and continually review opportunities to expand our portfolio through the acquisition of existing or newly created royalties, streaming or similar interests and through accretive acquisitions of companies that hold such assets. In acquiring newly created interests, we act as a source of financing to mining companies for the development and exploration of projects.
Our “royalty generator model” is focused on mineral properties held by us and our subsidiaries and additional properties we may acquire from time to time, with the aim of subsequently optioning or selling them to third-party mining companies in transactions where we would retain a royalty, carried interest or other similar interest. We believe the royalty generator model provides increased volume of potential royalty opportunities, targeting opportunities with potential exploration upside.
We generally do not conduct development or mining operations on the properties in which we hold interests, and we are not required to contribute capital costs to these properties. We may, from time to time, conduct non-material exploration-related activities to advance our royalty generator model.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of Pedra Branca Royalty
On December 7, 2025, we announced we entered into a royalty purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BlackRock World Mining Trust plc (“BlackRock”) to acquire its interest in an existing net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty of 2% on copper, 25% on gold and 2% on all other metals produced (the “Royalty”) in respect of certain areas at Pedra Branca, operated by a subsidiary of BHP, and located in northeastern Brazil (the “Acquisition”). Total consideration will consist of $70.0 million, which is to be satisfied by the Company at closing by paying BlackRock $70.0 million in cash. See the section entitled “The Acquisition”.
Net proceeds from this offering are intended to be used to fund the Acquisition. See the section entitled “Use of Proceeds”. However, this offering is not conditional upon completion of the Acquisition. The Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions to closing; accordingly, there is no guarantee the Acquisition will close on a timely basis or at all. See the section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to this Offering” and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Acquisition”.
| S-3 |
Credit Facility Amendment and Debenture Retirement
On November 25, 2025, we entered into a sixth amendment agreement with the Bank of Montreal and National Bank Capital Markets to amend and upsize our existing revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility now consists of a US$75 million secured revolving credit line, with an accordion feature allowing for up to an additional US$25 million in availability, subject to certain conditions, for a total maximum of US$100 million. The maturity date of the Facility has been extended from March 31, 2028, to November 25, 2028. The Facility, secured against the assets of the Company, will be available for general corporate purposes and to finance acquisitions and investments and may be drawn in U.S. dollar base rate advances or term benchmark advances. Under the amended Facility, term benchmark advances will bear interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin ranging from 2.5% to 3.5% based on the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. U.S. dollar base rate advances bear interest at a rate equal to a base rate plus applicable margin. The Facility is subject to a standby fee ranging from 0.56% to 0.79% on the unused portion of the Facility based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Facility includes customary financial covenants, including a net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The amendment to the Facility was subject to customary conditions and the retirement of at least 75% of the principal amount of our outstanding 10% unsecured convertible debentures due in 2028 (the “Debentures”).
An aggregate of US$40 million in principal amount of the Debentures was issued by the Company in December 2023, consisting of US$30 million in principal amount held by Queen’s Road Capital Investment Ltd. (“QRC”) and US$10 million in principal amount held by Taurus Mining Royalty Fund L.P., a fund managed by Taurus Funds Management Pty Limited.
In connection with, and as a condition to the Facility amendment, with the consent of the holders of the debentures, we entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee under our existing Debentures allowing us to, among other things, exercise our existing redemption rights under their terms. Under the existing Debentures, we had the pre-existing right to cause the early redemption of the Debentures in December 2026. Pursuant to the amendment, with the consent of the holders of the Debentures, we amended the terms of the Debenture to allow us to exercise such right immediately. The existing terms of the Debentures provided that, on exercise of our early redemption rights, the holders could elect to convert their debentures to our common shares at a conversion price of $1.75, being equal to a 20% premium to the 20-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our common shares at the date the Debentures were originally issued. In the absence of early-redemption, the holders could also cause conversion prior to maturity in 2028 at a price of $1.90 per share. The conversion price relating to the redemption was unchanged at $1.75 per common share.
In connection with the early redemption and the amendment to the Debentures, the holders of the Debentures received a partial make-whole payment equal to the interest that would be payable on the Debentures until December 15, 2026, which was satisfied by us on the same basis as prior interest payments under the Debentures by paying 70% in cash and 30% in common shares at a price of $3.59 per share, being equal to the 20-trading day VWAP of our common shares at the time of redemption. As a result of the transaction, we issued a total of 23,288,896 common shares to the holders of the Debentures and the entire principal amount outstanding of the Debentures has been eliminated.
Adoption of Shareholder Rights Plan
On November 5, 2025, our board of directors, on the recommendation of a recently formed special committee of its independent directors, has adopted a shareholder rights plan, with immediate effect, to help ensure that all shareholders are treated equally and fairly in the event of any unsolicited take-over bid or other attempt to acquire control of the Company (including by way of a “creeping take-over bid”). In respect of such transactions, the shareholder rights plan is intended to, among other things: (i) encourage potential bidders to treat our shareholders fairly and equally and preserve control premiums and value for shareholders; and (ii) provide our board of directors and shareholders adequate time to appropriately respond on an informed basis, and protect applicable legal rights. The shareholder rights plan was not adopted in response to any specific take-over bid or other proposal to acquire control of the Company, and we are not aware of any such pending or contemplated take-over bid or other proposal. Pursuant to the shareholder rights plan, one right was issued in respect of each outstanding common share on the record date, being November 17, 2025, and thereafter, one right automatically attaches to each new common share issued by the Company. Each right will become exercisable if a person acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common shares without complying with the permitted bid provisions of the shareholder rights plan. In such circumstances, each right will entitle the holder (other than the acquiring person) to purchase additional common shares at a discount to the then prevailing market price. The shareholder rights plan includes a mechanism that applies a higher 20% threshold to any entity that, together with its affiliates and joint actors, is not party to any standstill or similar arrangement with the Company.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer
Emerging Growth Company
We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues; the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to a U.S. registration.
As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publicly traded entities that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include: (i) the option to present only two years of audited financial statements and related discussion in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the SEC; (ii) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; (iii) not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); (iv) not being required to submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency,” and “say-on-golden parachutes”; and (v) not being required to disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
Foreign Private Issuer
We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including: (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specific information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, as updated by our subsequent filings filed with the SEC, some of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide to buy our common shares. The risks and uncertainties described below and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are not the only risks facing us. We may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial. Any of the risks described below or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and any such additional risks, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.
Risks Related to this Offering
This offering is not conditional on the closing of the Acquisition and if the Acquisition does not close, management will have discretion regarding the use of proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as stated under the “Use of Proceeds”; however, this offering is not conditional upon the closing of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not completed, management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering as well as the timing of such expenditures. In addition, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary. As a result, investors will be relying on the judgment of management as to the application of the net proceeds of this offering. Management may use the net proceeds of this offering in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The results and effectiveness of the application of the proceeds are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, our results of operations and financial condition may suffer, which may materially adversely affect our business, operations and financial performance and cash flows. See “Use of Proceeds”.
Sales of a substantial number of common shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, may adversely impact the price of our common shares.
Sales of a substantial number of common shares in the public markets could depress the market price of our common shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common shares would have on the market price of our common shares.
Future sales of our common shares, or other securities exercisable or convertible into our common shares in the public market or other financings could cause the price of our common shares to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of our common shares, or other securities exercisable or convertible into our common shares in the public market, the perception that these sales or other financings might occur, could depress the market price of our common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. A substantial majority of our outstanding common shares are, and all of the common shares to be sold in this offering upon issuance will be, freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless these common shares are owned or purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, our common shares and the common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants will be eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by applicable vesting requirements and, in some cases, subject to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, these common shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under applicable securities laws.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional common shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell common shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional common shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.
| S-7 |
U.S. holders of our common shares may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of our passive foreign investment company status.
We believe that we were a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the tax year ended December 31, 2024, and expect to be treated as a PFIC for the current tax year. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) holds the common shares, it would likely result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for such U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders should carefully read “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information and consult their own tax advisors regarding the likelihood and consequences if we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including, in the case of a U.S. Holder of our common shares, the advisability of making a “qualified electing fund” election (including a protective election) or a mark-to-market election, which may mitigate certain possible adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences but may result in an inclusion in gross income without receipt of such income.
Risks Relating to the Acquisition
We may not be able to consummate the Acquisition on the terms contemplated, within its intended time frame, or at all.
The closing of this offering will occur before the closing of the Acquisition. The closing of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. While we intend to consummate the Acquisition as soon as practicable after obtaining the required regulatory approvals and satisfying the required closing conditions, there is no certainty, nor can we provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. A substantial delay in obtaining required regulatory approvals or the imposition of unfavorable terms or conditions in such approvals could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete the Acquisition and on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
If the Acquisition is not completed, we could be subject to a number of risks that may adversely affect our business and the market price of the common shares, including but not limited to:
| ● | the time and resources committed by our management to matters relating to the Acquisition that could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities; |
| ● | the market price of the common shares could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Acquisition will be completed; |
| ● | we would not realize the benefits we expect to realize from consummating the Acquisition; and |
| ● | we will be required to pay costs relating to the Acquisition, such as legal and accounting fees, whether or not the Acquisition is completed. |
We may also be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not completed, these risks may materialize and may adversely affect our business, operations and financial performance and cash flows.
We may fail to realize the expected benefits of the Acquisition
While we believe that the Acquisition will provide certain benefits to our business and shareholders, these expected benefits may not be achieved, or may take longer than expected to realize, and other assumptions upon which we have determined the benefits of the Acquisition may prove to be incorrect. To the extent that the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition are not achieved, are achieved to a lesser extent, or take longer than expected to achieve, the results of operations and our financial condition may suffer, which may materially adversely affect our business, operations and financial performance and cash flows.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and may constitute “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements include statements that may relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “subject to”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “target”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “outlook”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “can”, the negatives thereof, variations thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | our plans and objectives, including our acquisition and growth strategy (including with respect to the Acquisition); |
| ● | our future financial and operational performance, including expectations regarding projected future revenues; |
| ● | royalty and other payments to be made to us by the owners and operators of the projects underlying our royalties, streaming and other interests; |
| ● | expectations regarding our royalties, streaming and other interests; |
| ● | the plans and expectations of the operators of properties where we own royalty and streaming interests; |
| ● | estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources on the projects in which we have royalty and streaming interests; |
| ● | estimates regarding future revenue, expenses and needs for additional financing; and |
| ● | adequacy of capital and financing needs. |
These forward-looking statements are based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other assumptions that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, including that:
| ● | the public disclosures of the operators regarding the properties underlying our interests are accurate, including that such operators will meet their disclosed production targets and expectations; |
| ● | current gold, base metal and other commodity prices will be sustained, or will improve; |
| ● | the proposed development of the projects underlying our interests will be viable operationally and economically and will proceed as expected; |
| ● | any additional financing required by us will be available on reasonable terms; and |
| ● | operators of the properties where we hold royalties and streaming interests will not experience any material accident, labor dispute or failure of equipment. |
Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking statements, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct.
| S-9 |
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the following risk factors, among others:
| ● | we own passive interests in mining properties, and it is difficult or impossible for us to ensure properties are developed or operated in our best interest; |
| ● | a substantial majority of our royalty and other interests are on non-producing properties, which may never achieve production; |
| ● | our revenue is subject to volatility in gold, copper and other commodity prices; |
| ● | the volatility in gold, copper and other commodity prices may have an adverse impact on the value of our royalties, streaming and similar interests and on the payments we receive thereunder in the future; |
| ● | we have limited or no access to data or the operations underlying our existing interests; |
| ● | a significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of operating properties; |
| ● | the value and potential revenue from our royalties, streaming and other interests are subject to many of the risks faced by owners and operators of the properties underlying our interests; |
| ● | our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by market and economic conditions; |
| ● | we may enter into acquisitions or other material transactions at any time; |
| ● | current and future indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and impair our ability to operate our business; |
| ● | our future growth is, to an extent, dependent on our acquisition strategy; |
| ● | our business and revenues could be adversely affected by problems concerning the existence, validity, enforceability, terms or geographic extent of our royalty interests, and our interests may similarly be materially and adversely impacted by change of control, bankruptcy or the insolvency of operators; |
| ● | if title to mining claims, concessions, licenses, leases or other forms of tenure is not properly maintained by the operators, or is successfully challenged by third parties, our existing royalties, streaming or other interests could be found to be invalid; |
| ● | operators may interpret our existing or future royalties, streaming or other interests in a manner adverse to us or otherwise may not abide by their contractual obligations, and we could be forced to take legal action to enforce our contractual rights; |
| ● | certain of our royalty interests are subject to buy-back or other rights of third parties; |
| ● | mine development and operation is capital intensive and any inability of the operators of the properties underlying our existing or future interests to meet their liquidity needs may adversely affect the value of, and revenue from, such interests; |
| ● | estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves disclosed by the owners and operators of the properties underlying our royalties, streaming and other interests may be subject to significant revision; |
| ● | depleted mineral reserves may not be replenished by the operators of the properties underlying our royalties, streaming and other interests; |
| S-10 |
| ● | we may enter into transactions with related parties and such transactions present potential conflicts of interests; |
| ● | regulations and political or economic developments in any of the jurisdictions where the properties in which we hold or may hold royalties, streaming or similar interests are located may impact the projects underlying our interests; |
| ● | opposition from Indigenous peoples may adversely impact the projects underlying our interests; |
| ● | environmental risks in the jurisdictions where projects underlying our interests are located may affect the projects underlying our interests; |
| ● | our operations and those of the owners and operators of the properties underlying our interests may be negatively impacted by the effects of the spread of illnesses or other public health emergencies; |
| ● | our dependence on key management personnel; |
| ● | certain of our directors and officers also serve as directors and officers of other companies in the mining sector, which may cause them to have conflicts of interest; |
| ● | a significant disruption to our information technology systems or those of our third-party service providers could adversely affect our business and operating results; |
| ● | potential litigation affecting the properties that we have royalties, streaming or other interests in could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results; |
| ● | we may use certain financial instruments that are subject to a number of inherent risks; and |
| ● | the other factors discussed under “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other disclosure documents, which are available under our profile at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov. |
This list of factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with other cautionary statements in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus represent management’s expectations as of the date of such statements (or as the date they are otherwise stated to be made) and are subject to change after such date. The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the information incorporated by reference herein and therein relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in such document. Except as required by U.S. federal securities law and under applicable Canadian securities laws, we undertake no obligation, and disclaim any intention, to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, along with any exhibits thereto, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Other sections of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the information incorporated by reference herein and therein include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.

THE ACQUISITION
Acquisition Terms
On December [●], 2025, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with BlackRock to acquire the Royalty on certain areas at Pedra Branca, located in Brazil, held by AVB Mineração Ltda. (“AVB”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at closing of the Acquisition, we will acquire the Royalty from BlackRock for total cash consideration to BlackRock of $70.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement, after closing, Gold Royalty will receive all payments relating to production from the Royalty for periods ending after December 31, 2025.
The Acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions. Conditions to closing under the Purchase Agreement include, but are not limited to, (a) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties; and (b) the absence of any order or proceeding restraining or prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The closing of the Acquisition is not conditional on completion of this offering. We anticipate the closing of the Acquisition will take place on or about December [●] 2025. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Acquisition”.
Financing the Acquisition
We intend to utilize the proceeds of this offering to fund the cash consideration payable at closing of the Acquisition.
The Royalty
The Royalty is represented by a royalty agreement dated August 28, 2014, as amended by a deed of amendment and restatement dated June 30, 2015 (collectively, the “Royalty Agreement”), among BlackRock, Avanco Lux I S.C.S. (the “Obligor”), Avanco Resources Limited and AVB (the “Guarantors”), and applies to portions of Pedra Branca, including (i) the Antas North deposit, which is subject to certain mining concessions as set forth in the Royalty Agreement, including any mines to be developed within that area, as more particularly described in the Royalty Agreement (the “Antas North Deposit”); (ii) the Pedra Branca deposit, subject to certain exploration licenses and mining concessions as set forth in the Royalty Agreement, including any mines to be developed within that area, as more particularly described in the Royalty Agreement (the “Pedra Branca Deposit”); and (iii) any other mining project within the broader licensed area within the Carajás province in Brazil set out in the Royalty Agreement which any of the Guarantors or any of the Guarantors’ respective subsidiaries develops or considers developing, as the case may be, other than the Antas North Deposit or the Pedra Branca Deposit (the “Other Projects”).
Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, the Obligor granted to BlackRock the Royalty consisting of net smelter returns equal to: (i) 2% on all copper ore, copper concentrate on finished copper metal (“Copper Products”) recovered or produced from the Antas North Deposit or Pedra Branca Deposit; (ii) 25% on all gold ore, gold concentrate and metal (“Gold Products”) recovered or produced from the Antas North Deposit or Pedra Branca Deposit; (iii) 2% on any and all metals in ore, intermediate or finished form, apart from Copper Products or Gold Products (“Other Products” and, collectively with Copper Products and Gold Products, the “Products”), produced from the Antas North Deposit or Pedra Branca Deposit; and (iv) 2% on all Products recovered or produced from any Other Project.
If the Guarantors or any of the Guarantors’ respective subsidiaries wishes to prioritize the development of and production from any Other Project over the development of the Antas North Deposit and/or the Pedra Branca Deposit, they are required to seek the consent of BlackRock and BlackRock has the right to elect that the Royalty rate payable for Gold Products recovered or produced from such newly prioritized Other Project is 25% of the net smelter return in respect thereof, in which case the Royalty rate for Gold Products from the Antas North Deposit and/or Pedra Branca Deposit shall be reduced from 25% to 2%.
Each of the Obligor and the Guarantors are wholly-owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries of BHP. On August 15, 2025, BHP entered into a binding agreement with CoreX Holding B.V. (“CoreX Holding”) for the purchase and sale of BHP’s Carajás assets, including Pedra Branca. The sale transaction is expected to be completed in early 2026.
| S-12 |
Transaction Rationale
We believe that the Acquisition will add a high-quality, long-life asset to our existing portfolio of royalties and other interests. Among other things, we believe that the Acquisition presents the opportunity to:
| ● | Expand Revenue and Cash Flow on an Accretive Basis – Based on royalty statements received, the expense recorded to the previous owner of the Royalty was approximately $7.9 million in the last 12 months ended June 30, 2025. Its acquisition is expected to expand our existing revenue and cash flow in the near-term. See “ – Pedra Branca”. |
| ● | Further Strengthen the Company’s Portfolio - The Acquisition is expected to further enhance our already strong gold exposure from both a revenue and asset value perspective. We believe the enhanced copper exposure is timely, given the currently strong long-term fundamentals for the metal based on demand projections to support the coming global transition to renewable energy. |
| ● | Align with a World-class Operators – The mine was constructed by OZ Minerals Limited (“OZ Minerals”) and is currently operated by BHP. On August 18, 2025, BHP announced that CoreX Holding had agreed to acquire Pedra Branca, along with BHP’s other Carajás copper assets in Brazil. |
| ● | Top-tier Jurisdiction – Pedra Branca is located in the Carajás region in Brazil’s Pará state, a prolific mining region which is home to world-class iron ore deposits as well as copper, gold, manganese, copper, tin, and aluminum. |
Pedra Branca
Introductory Note
The disclosures herein regarding Pedra Branca are based upon the information publicly disclosed by BHP, as indicated herein. For further information, refer to such disclosures and the others referenced herein as filed by BHP with the Australian Securities Exchange.
BHP has prepared its publicly available disclosures, including resource and reserve estimates relating to Pedra Branca, in accordance with the requirements applicable to companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and JORC. JORC differs from NI 43-101 and SK1300. The disclosure herein includes information regarding resource and reserve estimates and other information prepared and disclosed by BHP, which we have included pursuant to Item 1304 of SK1300 as such information was prepared and disclosed by BHP, prior to our acquisition of an interest in Pedra Branca. We are not treating such information as a current estimate of mineral resources or mineral reserves under SK1300 and note that a qualified person of the Company has not done sufficient work to classify the estimate as such under SK1300.
See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Reserves and Mineral Estimates”.
Project Summary
Each of the Pedra Branca mine and Antas North mine are a part of the Carajás East Operation, owned by BHP. Ore containing copper and gold is mined from the Pedra Branca underground mine and processed at the processing facilities located at the Antas mine that supports the Carajás East Hub in Brazil. Mining at the Antas open pit was completed in June 2021 and it is transitioning into the first hub at Carajás East. Its existing processing plant will continue to be used to process ore from new satellite mines, including Pedra Branca. As of 2024, Antas North open pit is used as a tailings storage facility to support Carajás East hub operations.
The Pedra Branca mine is located in Água Azul do Norte, which is approximately 160 km from Marabá and 900 km from Belém in the state of Pará, Brazil. Electricity is supplied to the mine via a 5 MW transmission line. Material is transported from Pedra Branca and is processed at the Antas North plant, located in the municipality of Curionópolis, Brazil. The plant has been operating and depositing tailings into a nearby exhausted open pit.
| S-13 |
The mine consists of an iron oxide copper gold deposit. High-grade zones of semi-massive and breccia mineralization with dominant chalcopyrite as the key copper-bearing mineral.
The mine was acquired by OZ Minerals in 2018, which acquired the mine operator, Avanco Resources Limited, including projects in the Carajás Copper Region and the Gurupi Greenstone Belt. OZ Minerals commenced mine construction in 2019; underground mining started in 2021 and the mine was ramped up to full production in 2022. BHP acquired OZ Minerals in 2023.
In its annual report for the year ended June 30, 2025, BHP disclosed JORC-based estimated measured mineral resources of 2.4 Mt at 1.68% copper and 0.47 g/t gold and indicated mineral resources of 12 Mt at 1.41% copper and 0.40 g/t gold, utilizing a cut-off based on an NSR value of $78.73/t. It also disclosed estimated proven mineral reserves at Pedra Branca of 1.3 Mt at 1.8% copper and 0.48 g/t gold and probable mineral reserves of 2.5 Mt at 1.85% copper and 0.49 g/t gold, utilizing cut-offs based on NSR values of $78.73/t above mining level 810 and $84.20/t below the 810 mining level.
On August 18, 2025, BHP announced that a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreX Holding had agreed to acquire Pedra Branca, along with BHP’s other Carajás copper assets in Brazil. CoreX Holding is a highly diversified, vertically integrated, global industrial conglomerate established in 2024. CoreX Metals & Mining, the metals and mining subsidiary of CoreX Holding, operates as part of a global network spanning 20 companies in 11 countries. Since the initiation of its operations, CoreX Metals & Mining has been focusing on metals and mining operations for chrome, nickel, gold, copper, polymetals mining, ferroalloys, and chrome chemicals through exploring, extracting, and processing mineral sources.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of $● million (determined after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions of $● million and estimated expenses of this offering of $● million), or $● million if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full (determined after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions of $● million and estimated expenses of this offering of $● million).
Principal Purpose
The net proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand, will be used to fund the Acquisition, and for general corporate purposes and working capital, which may include the reduction of future debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. See the section entitled “The Acquisition” above.
The following table sets forth the intended use of the estimated net proceeds of $● million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
| Principal purpose | Amount | |||
| The Acquisition | $ | ● | ||
| General corporate purposes and working capital | $ | ● | ||
| Total | $ | ● | ||
The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plan and business conditions. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to implement our growth and acquisition strategy, including the Acquisition, and for general working capital and corporate purposes, which may include the reduction of future debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. This offering is not conditional upon completion of the Acquisition, and the Acquisition is subject to customary conditions to closing and there is no guarantee the Acquisition will close on a timely basis or at all. Depending on the outcome of our business activities and other unforeseen events, our plans and priorities may change and we may apply the net proceeds of this offering in different amounts than we currently anticipate. In particular, in the event that the Acquisition does not close, management will reallocate the amounts raised from this offering that are currently contemplated to be spent in respect of the Acquisition at the discretion of management. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” above.
For a description of the Royalty to be acquired using the net proceeds of this offering, see the section entitled “The Acquisition” above.
The net proceeds that are currently expected to be used for working capital are expected to include operating expenses of approximately $●, which include expected amounts of: (i) $● for consulting fees; (ii) $● for professional fees; (iii) $● for management and directors’ fees; and (iv) $● for office and general and administrative costs. We expect that working capital requirements will also include normal course expenses that primarily relate to early stage acquisition and other business development identification and diligence, such as third-party geological, legal and other consultant expenses related thereto.
Limited History of Positive Operating Cash Flow
We achieved our first year of positive cash flows from operation of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and had positive operating cash flow for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2025. If we fail to maintain positive cash flow again in the future, net proceeds from the sale of common shares hereunder may need to be allocated to fund our operations. Subject to various risks and uncertainties which may cause the properties underlying our existing royalties and streaming interests to cease to generate revenues (including those set out under the section entitled “Risk Factors” above), we anticipate we will have positive cash flow from operating activities in future periods. Future cash flows from such interests are dependent upon the underlying properties achieving production. There can be no assurance that such production will ever be achieved. We may, from time to time, issue securities (including debt securities) other than pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
| S-15 |

DIVIDEND POLICY
We currently intend to retain future earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common shares in the near future. Any determination to pay future dividends will remain at the discretion of our board of directors and will be made taking into account our financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the board.
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of common shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that purchase common shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement and hold such common shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as certain financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers and traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold common shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or integrated investment, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power or value of our shares, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, , partnerships and other pass-through entities, and investors in such pass-through entities). This discussion does not address U.S. federal net investment income, U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations.
As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (a) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that has validly elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds common shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment relating to an investment in common shares will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of common shares. Persons considering an investment in common shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of common shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” for any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income,” or the “PFIC income test,” or (ii) on average at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, the “PFIC asset test.” Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.
| S-17 |
Under certain attribution rules, if the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds common shares and one of the Company’s non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the common shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and on gain from the disposition of common shares of the lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. Holder may not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries.
We believe that we were a PFIC for the tax year ended December 31, 2024, and expect to be treated as a PFIC for the current tax year.
Default PFIC Rules under Section 1291 of the Code
If the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes a Qualified Electing Fund Election under Section 1295 of the Code (“QEF Election”) or makes a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a “Mark-to-Market Election”) with respect to common shares. A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a “Non-Electing U.S. Holder.”
A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code with respect to (a) any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares and (b) any excess distribution paid on the common shares. A distribution generally will be an “excess distribution” to the extent that such distribution (together with all other distributions received in the current tax year) exceeds 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding tax years (or during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares, if shorter).
If the Company is a PFIC, under Section 1291 of the Code any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares (including an indirect disposition of common shares of a lower-tier PFIC), and any excess distribution paid on common shares (or a distribution by a lower-tier PFIC to its shareholder that is deemed to be received by a U.S. Holder) must be ratably allocated to each day of a Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares. The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to the tax year of disposition or excess distribution and to years before the Company became a PFIC, if any, would be taxed as ordinary income. The amounts allocated to any other tax year would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in each such year without regard to the U.S. Holder’s other tax attributes, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability for each such year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat any such interest paid as “personal interest,” which is not deductible.
If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds common shares, the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Non-Electing U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Company ceases to be a PFIC in one or more subsequent years. If the Company ceases to be a PFIC, a Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status with respect to common shares by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if such common shares were sold on the last day of the last tax year for which the Company was a PFIC.
| S-18 |
QEF Election
If the Company is a PFIC and a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election for the first tax year in which its holding period of its common shares begins, such U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to its common shares. However, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of (a) the net capital gain of the Company, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) the ordinary earnings of the Company, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder. Generally, “net capital gain” is the excess of (a) net long-term capital gain over (b) net short-term capital gain, and “ordinary earnings” are the excess of (a) “earnings and profits” over (b) net capital gain. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder by the Company. However, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income tax on such amounts, subject to an interest charge. If such U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any such interest paid will be treated as “personal interest,” which is not deductible.
A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally (a) may receive a tax-free distribution from the Company to the extent that such distribution represents “earnings and profits” of the Company that were previously included in income by the U.S. Holder because of such QEF Election and (b) will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common shares to reflect the amount included in income or allowed as a tax-free distribution because of such QEF Election. In addition, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares.
The procedure for making a QEF Election, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a QEF Election, will depend on whether such QEF Election is timely. A QEF Election will be treated as timely if it is made for the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares in which the Company was a PFIC. A U.S. Holder may make a timely QEF Election by filing the appropriate QEF Election documents at the time such U.S. Holder files a U.S. federal income tax return for such year.
A QEF Election will apply to the tax year for which such QEF Election is made and to all subsequent tax years, unless such QEF Election is invalidated or terminated or the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) consents to revocation of such QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election and, in a subsequent tax year, the Company ceases to be a PFIC, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) during those tax years in which the Company is not a PFIC. Accordingly, if the Company becomes a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF Election will be effective, and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above during a subsequent tax year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC.
U.S. Holders should be aware that, for each tax year, if any, that the Company is a PFIC, the Company can provide no assurances that it will satisfy the record-keeping requirements or make available to U.S. Holders a PFIC Annual Information Statement or any other information such U.S. Holders require to make a QEF Election with respect to the Company or any subsidiary that also is classified as a PFIC. Accordingly, it is expected that U.S. Holders will not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries.
Mark-to-Market Election
A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the common shares are marketable stock. The common shares generally will be “marketable stock” if they are regularly traded on (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC; (b) the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934; or (c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located, provided that (i) such foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements and the laws of the country in which such foreign exchange is located, together with the rules of such foreign exchange, ensure that such requirements are actually enforced; and (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange ensure active trading of listed stocks. If such stock is traded on such a qualified exchange or other market, such stock generally will be “regularly traded” for any calendar year during which such stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. The Company expects that the common shares will constitute “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules.
A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its common shares generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above. However, if a U.S. Holder does not make a Mark-to-Market Election beginning in the first tax year of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for common shares or such U.S. Holder has not made a timely QEF Election, the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, and distributions on, the common shares.
| S-19 |
A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in ordinary income, for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the common shares, as of the close of such tax year over (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such common shares. A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares over (ii) the fair market value of such common shares (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).
U.S. Holders that make a Mark-to-Market Election generally also will adjust their tax basis in the common shares to reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election. In addition, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will recognize ordinary income or loss (not to exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).
A Mark-to-Market Election applies to the tax year in which such Mark-to-Market Election is made and to each subsequent tax year, unless the common shares cease to be “marketable stock” or the IRS consents to revocation of such election. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a Mark-to-Market Election.
Although a U.S. Holder may be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to common shares, no such election may be made with respect to the stock of any lower-tier PFIC that a U.S. Holder is treated as owning because such stock is not marketable. Hence, the Mark-to-Market Election will not be effective to eliminate the interest charge described above with respect to deemed dispositions of lower-tier PFIC stock or distributions from a lower-tier PFIC.
Each U.S. person that is an investor of a PFIC is generally required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 containing such information as the U.S. Treasury Department may require. The failure to file IRS Form 8621 could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax.
The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on the purchase, ownership and disposition of common shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to common shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the common shares of a PFIC.
Distributions
Subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution with respect to common shares generally will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend when actually or constructively received to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the Company’s current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent a distribution received by a U.S. Holder is not a dividend because it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s common shares. To the extent the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s common shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain. Because the Company may not account for the Company’s earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect all distributions to be reported to them as dividends. Distributions on common shares that are treated as dividends generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for foreign tax credit purposes and generally will constitute passive category income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the “dividends received” deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.
| S-20 |
Dividends paid by a “qualified foreign corporation” are eligible for taxation for certain non-corporate U.S. Holders at a reduced capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain requirements are met. However, if the Company is a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year (see discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”), the Company will not be treated as a qualified foreign corporation, and therefore the reduced capital gains tax rate described above will not apply. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends with regard to its particular circumstances.
A non-corporate U.S. Holder (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information provision, or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on common shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. The Company believes that it qualifies as a resident of Canada for purposes of, and is eligible for the benefits of, the U.S.-Canada Treaty, although there can be no assurance in this regard. Further, the IRS has determined that the U.S.-Canada Treaty is satisfactory for purposes of the qualified dividend rules and that it includes an exchange of information provision. Therefore, subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” if the U.S.-Canada Treaty is applicable, such dividends will generally be “qualified dividend income” in the hands of individual U.S. Holders, provided that certain conditions are met, including holding period and the absence of certain risk reduction transactions.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of common shares
Subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in common shares. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for non-corporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of sale, exchange or other disposition, common shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized from the sale or other disposition of common shares will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
U.S. Holders may be required to file certain U.S. information reporting returns with the IRS with respect to an investment in common shares, including, among others, IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets). As described above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” each U.S. Holder who is a shareholder of a PFIC must file an annual report containing certain information.
Dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of common shares may be reported to the IRS unless the U.S. Holder establishes a basis for exemption. Backup withholding may apply to amounts subject to reporting if the holder (i) fails to provide an accurate United States taxpayer identification number or otherwise establish a basis for exemption, or (ii) is described in certain other categories of persons. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished by the U.S. Holder on a timely basis to the IRS.
U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the backup withholding tax and information reporting rules.
EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S COMMON SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

MATERIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following summary describes, as of the date hereof, the material Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires, as a beneficial owner, common shares pursuant to this offering and who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the application of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder, as amended (the “Canadian Tax Act”), (i) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention; (ii) deals at arm’s length with us, the Underwriters and any subsequent purchaser of such securities; (iii) is not affiliated with us or the Underwriters; (iv) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, common shares in a business or part of a business carried on in Canada; (v) has not entered into, with respect to the common shares, a “derivative forward agreement,” as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act; and (vi) holds the common shares as capital property (a “Non-Canadian Holder”). This summary does not apply to a Non-Canadian Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere. Such Non-Canadian Holders should consult their tax advisors for advice having regards to their particular circumstances.
This summary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, and an understanding of the current administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. It takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty”), publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any particular shareholder are made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, you should consult your own tax advisor with respect to your particular circumstances.
Generally, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the common shares must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the exchange rates as determined in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act. The amount of any dividends, capital gains or capital losses realized by a Non-Canadian Holder may be affected by fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.
Dividends
Dividends paid or credited on the common shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the common shares to a Non-Canadian Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Canadian Holder is entitled under any applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident. For example, under the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, where dividends on the common shares are considered to be paid to or derived by a Non-Canadian Holder that is a beneficial owner of the dividends and is a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to benefits of, the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%. We will be required to withhold the applicable withholding tax from any dividend and remit it to the Canadian government for the Non-Canadian Holder’s account.
| S-22 |
Dispositions
A Non-Canadian Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of a common share, unless the common shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Canadian Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act at the time of disposition or deemed disposition and the Non-Canadian Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident. Generally, the common shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Canadian Holder at a particular time provided that the common shares are listed at that time on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act, which currently includes the NYSE American), unless at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time:
| ● | at least 25% of the issued shares of any class or series was owned by or belonged to any combination of (a) the Non-Canadian Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Canadian Holder does not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, and |
| ● | more than 50% of the fair market value of the common shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as that term is defined in the Canadian Tax Act) and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances, common shares could be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.” Non-Canadian Holders whose common shares may constitute “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.
UNDERWRITING
We have entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Lead Underwriters as representatives of the Underwriters named below and the book-running managers of this offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the number of common shares set forth opposite their names below.
| Underwriter | Common Shares | |||
| National Bank Financial of Canada Capital Markets | ● | |||
| BMO Capital Markets | ● | |||
| RBC Capital Markets | ● | |||
| ● | ● | |||
| ● | ● | |||
| ● | ● | |||
| ● | ● | |||
| ● | ● | |||
| Total | ● | |||
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent such as the receipt by the Underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions and approval of certain legal matters by their counsel. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriters will purchase all of the common shares if any of them are purchased. The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated at their discretion on the basis of “disaster out”, “regulatory out”, “material change out” and “breach out” provisions in the Underwriting Agreement and may also be terminated upon the occurrence of certain other stated events. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all of the common shares under this offering if any are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. The offering price was determined by arm’s length negotiation among the Company and the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, with reference to the prevailing market prices of the common shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian provincial and territorial securities legislation and under the Securities Act.
| S-23 |
This offering is being made concurrently in the United States and in each of the provinces and territories in Canada, other than Québec and Nunavut. Our common shares will be offered in the United States through those Underwriters who are (or have affiliates that are) registered to offer the common shares for sale in the United States and such other registered dealers as may be designated by the Underwriters. Our common shares will be offered in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, other than Québec and Nunavut, through National Bank Financial Inc. and such other registered dealers as may be designated by the Underwriters. Subject to applicable law, the Underwriters, or such other registered dealers or other entities outside the United States and Canada that are affiliates of the Underwriters as may be designated by the Underwriters, may offer the common shares outside of the United States and Canada. National Bank Financial Inc., RBC and ● are not registered as broker-dealers in the United States and, accordingly, will only sell offered common shares in Canada, and BMO, ● and ● are not registered as investment dealers in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, will only sell offered common shares in the United States. No common shares will be offered or sold in any jurisdiction except by or through brokers or dealers duly registered under the applicable securities laws of that jurisdiction, or in circumstances where an exemption from such registered dealer requirements is available.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we have granted the Underwriters the option, exercisable in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of the Underwriters for a period of 30 days from and including the Closing Date, to purchase up to ● additional common shares to cover over-allotments, if any, and for related market stabilization purposes. The Underwriters’ over-allotment option may be exercisable by the Underwriters to acquire such additional common shares at a price equal to the offering price per common share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. If any additional common shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the Underwriters will offer these additional common shares on the same terms as those on which the other common shares are being offered hereby.
If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the total price to the public will be $●, the total underwriting discounts and commissions will be $●, and the net proceeds to us (before payment of the expenses of this offering) will be $●. This prospectus supplement also qualifies the grant of the over-allotment option and the distribution of the additional common shares to be sold upon exercise of the over-allotment option. A purchaser who acquires common shares forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those securities under this prospectus supplement, regardless of whether the overallocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases.
This summary of the material provisions of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to a Report on Form 6-K filed under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the registration statement on Form F-3 of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.
Commissions and Discounts
The Underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the common shares to the public initially at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $● per share. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the common shares at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the public offering price may be decreased. The sale by the Underwriters of common shares at a price less than the offering price will have the effect of reducing the compensation realized by the Underwriters by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchasers for the common shares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters for the common shares. No such reduction will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.
In consideration for the services provided by the Underwriters in connection with this offering and pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Underwriters underwriting discounts and commissions equal to ●% of the aggregate gross proceeds of this offering (including in respect of any exercise of the over-allotment option). The following table summarizes the underwriting discount and commission to be paid to the Underwriters by us.

We estimate expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, will be approximately $●. Subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f), we have agreed to reimburse the Underwriters for their out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, up to $● for U.S. legal counsel and C$● for Canadian legal counsel in connection with this offering. Additionally, the Underwriters have also agreed to reimburse the Company for certain expenses.
No Sales of Similar Securities
We have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, that we will not, directly or indirectly, issue or sell, or announce any intention to issue or sell, any common shares or other financial instruments convertible or exchangeable into common shares, for a period of 90 days from the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, except in certain circumstances.
In addition, our officers, directors and certain entities affiliated with our directors have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, not to sell, or announce any intention to do so, any of our securities for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Lead Underwriters, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, other than in connection with, among other things, a third party take-over bid, arrangement or any other similar transaction made to all holders of our common shares or pursuant to a transfer that occurs by operation of law or in connection with transactions arising as a result of the death of the director or officer.
Stabilization
In accordance with the rules and policy statements of certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian marketplaces (“UMIR”) administered by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization, the Underwriters may not, at any time during the period of distribution, bid for or purchase common shares. The foregoing restriction is, however, subject to exceptions as permitted by such rules and policy statements and UMIR. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under such rules and policy statements and UMIR, relating to market stabilization and market balancing activities and a bid or purchase on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited.
The Underwriters have advised us that, subject to applicable laws, they may engage in short sale transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids in connection with this offering. These activities may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the common shares at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Establishing short sales positions may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales.
“Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our common shares in this offering. The Underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional common shares or purchasing common shares in the open market. In determining the source of common shares to close out the covered short position, the Underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of common shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase common shares through the option to purchase additional common shares.
“Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the option to purchase additional common shares. The Underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing common shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Any naked short position would form part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position.
A purchaser who acquires common shares forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position resulting from any covered short sales or naked short sales will, in each case, acquire such common shares under this prospectus supplement, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the option to purchase additional common shares or secondary market purchases.
| S-25 |
A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of common shares on behalf of the Underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the common shares. A syndicate covering transaction is the bid for or the purchase of common shares on behalf of the Underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the Underwriter’s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common shares. As a result, the price of our common shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.
A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the Underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering if the common shares originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member.
Neither we nor the Underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common shares. The Underwriters are not obligated to engage in these activities, these transactions may be effected on the NYSE American, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, any of the activities may be discontinued at any time.
In connection with this offering, the Underwriters also may engage in passive market making transactions in our common shares in accordance with Regulation M during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of our common shares in this offering and extending through the completion of the distribution. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specific purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Electronic Distribution
Subscriptions for the common shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is anticipated that the common shares will be delivered through the facilities of the CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) and/or Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) on the closing date of this offering (the “Closing Date”). It is expected that the Company will arrange for the instant deposit of the common shares under the book-based system of registration, to be registered to CDS or its nominee, as the case may be, and/or DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, and deposited with CDS or its nominee, as the case may be, and/or DTC or their nominee, as the case may be. A purchaser of common shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer through which the common shares are purchased.
It is expected that delivery of the common shares will be made against payment therefor on or about the Closing Date specified on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be three business days following the date of the prospectus supplement (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in one business day (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+1”), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their common shares prior to the Closing Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the common shares will not settle in T+1, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of common shares who wish to trade their common shares prior to the Closing Date should consult their own advisors.
Our common shares are listed under the symbol “GROY” on NYSE American, and our Listed Warrants are listed under the symbol “GROY.WS” on NYSE American. We have applied to list the common shares to be issued in this offering on the NYSE American.

Other Activities and Relationships
The Underwriters and their affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. In the course of their business, the Underwriters may actively trade our securities for their own accounts or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the Underwriters may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.
National Bank of Canada, an affiliate of NBF, and Bank of Montreal, an affiliate of BMO, are the lenders under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the lenders thereunder provided the Credit Facility to the Company. The Company may repay the Credit Facility, from time to time, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, utilizing net proceeds of this offering. Consequently, the Company may be considered a “connected issuer” of Bank of Montreal, BMO, National Bank of Canada and NBF under applicable securities laws, and a “conflict of interest” may be deemed to exist under FINRA Rule 5121(f)(5)(C)(i) if five percent of the net Offering proceeds, not including Underwriters’ compensation, are intended to be used to reduce or retire the balance of the Credit Facility. However, the Company currently does not expect to use five percent or more of the net proceeds from this offering to reduce or retire the Credit Facility.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we have filed with the SEC. To see more detail, you should read the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules filed with, or incorporated by reference into, our registration statement.
The SEC maintains a website that contains reports and other information regarding issuers, such as us, that file electronically with the SEC. The address is www.sec.gov.
We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers and under those requirements file reports with the SEC. Accordingly, we are required to file or furnish reports and other information with the SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 20-F and Reports on Form 6-K. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and from short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, among other things. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
We maintain a corporate website at www.goldroyalty.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of Canada. Substantially all our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, several of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.
In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC (as defined below) utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, we may sell the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total price to the public of $250.0 million. The offer and sale of securities under this prospectus may be made from time to time, in one or more offerings, in any manner described under the section in this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus, and may also contain information about any material federal income tax considerations relating to the securities covered by the prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement together with additional information under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”
This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus, including the financial statements and related notes and other financial data incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. This summary contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this registration statement to “Gold Royalty”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Gold Royalty Corp., a company incorporated under the laws of Canada, together with its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. We express all amounts in this registration statement in U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to:
| ● | “dollar”, “$” and “US$” are to U.S. dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars; |
| ● | the “Securities Act” refers to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; |
| ● | the “Exchange Act” refers to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and |
| ● | the “SEC” refers to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. |
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We report under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. None of the financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We present our financial statements in U.S. dollars.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. The disclosure of scientific and technical information regarding the properties underlying our royalty and other interests contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein, is presented in accordance with subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“SK1300”), which differs from the disclosure requirements set forth under Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43- 101”).
In many cases, the owners and operators of the mineral properties underlying our royalty and other interests have disclosed scientific and technical information regarding such projects pursuant to NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Definition Standards”), adopted by the CIM Council, as amended, which differs from the requirements under SK1300. In addition, certain of the operators of the properties underlying our royalty and other interests prepare mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC”), which differs from NI 43-101 and SK1300.
| 1 |
Under SK1300, the SEC recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. U.S. shareholders are cautioned that while terms are substantially similar to CIM Definition Standards, there are differences in the definitions and standards under SK1300 and the CIM Definition Standards and JORC. Accordingly, there is no assurance that estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves disclosed by the operators underlying our royalty and other interests under NI 43-101 or JORC or disclosed by us in our Canadian disclosure documents will be the same as the reserve or resource estimates prepared by U.S. companies under SK1300.
Readers should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in the “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. shareholders are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist.
TECHNICAL AND THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION
The disclosure contained or incorporated by reference herein respecting the projects underlying our royalty and other interests has been prepared in accordance with the exemption set forth in Items 1303(a)(3) and 1304(a)(2) of SK1300, in the U.S. and in Section 9.2 of NI 43-101, in Canada, and is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners and operators of such properties.
As a royalty holder, we have limited, if any, access to properties underlying the royalties included in our asset portfolio. Additionally, we may from time to time receive operating information from the owners and operators of the properties, which we are not permitted to disclose to the public. We are dependent on the operators of the properties to provide information to us or on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which we hold interests and generally will have limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although we do not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate.
We are relying on the exemption for royalty companies set forth Section 1302(b)(3)(ii) of SK1300, which provides that a stream, royalty or similar company is not required to file a technical report summary with the SEC with respect to an underlying property where either (a) obtaining the information would result in an unreasonable burden or expense, or (b) the technical report summary has been requested from the applicable owner, operator or other person possessing the technical report summary, who is not affiliated with the registrant, and who denied the request. The summary and individual mineral property disclosures contained herein are also provided in accordance with Sections 1303(a)(3) and 1304(a)(2) of SK1300, respectively, which provide that a registrant with a stream, royalty or other similar right may omit certain information required by the summary and individual property disclosure requirements if the registrant specifies the information to which it lacks access, explains the reason it lacks the required information and provides all required information that it does possess or which it can acquire without incurring an unreasonable burden or expense.
The scientific and technical information contained or incorporated herein relating to our royalty and other interests has been reviewed and approved by Alastair Still, P.Geo., who is our Director of Technical Services and a qualified person as such term is defined under NI 43-101 and SK1300.
We obtained certain statistical data, market data and other industry data and forecasts used or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement from publicly available information. While we believe that the statistical data, industry data, forecasts and market research are reliable, we have not independently verified the data, and do not make any representation as to the accuracy of the information.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, contains, and any prospectus supplement may include, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and may constitute “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements include statements that may relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “subject to”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “target”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “outlook”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “can”, the negatives thereof, variations thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | our plans and objectives, including its acquisition and growth strategy; |
| ● | our future financial and operational performance, including expectations regarding projected future revenues; |
| ● | royalty and other payments to be made to us by the owners and operators of the projects underlying our royalties and other interests; |
| ● | expectations regarding our royalty and other interests; |
| ● | the plans of the operators of properties where we own or may acquire royalty interests; |
| ● | estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources on the projects in which we hold royalty interests; |
| ● | estimates regarding future revenue, expenses and needs for additional financing; and |
| ● | adequacy of capital and financing needs. |
These forward-looking statements are based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other assumptions that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, including that:
| ● | the public disclosures of the operators regarding the properties underlying our interests are accurate, including that such operators will meet their disclosed production targets and expectations; |
| ● | current gold, base metal and other commodity prices will be sustained, or will improve; |
| ● | the proposed development of the projects underlying our royalties and other interests will be viable operationally and economically and will proceed as expected; |
| ● | any additional financing required by us will be available on reasonable terms; and |
| ● | operators of the properties where we hold royalties and other interests will not experience any material accident, labor dispute or failure of equipment. |
Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking statements, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the following risk factors, among others:
| ● | we own passive interests in mining properties, and it is difficult or impossible for us to ensure properties are developed or operated in our best interest; |
| ● | a substantial majority of our royalty and other interests are on non-producing properties, which may never achieve production; |
| ● | our revenue is subject to volatility in gold and other commodity prices; |
| ● | the volatility in gold and other commodity prices may have an adverse impact on the value of our royalty and similar interests and on the payments we receive thereunder in the future; |
| ● | we have limited or no access to data or the operations underlying our interests; |
| ● | a significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of operating properties; |
| ● | the value and potential revenue from our royalty interests are subject to many of the risks faced by owners and operators of the properties underlying our interests; |
| ● | our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by market and economic conditions; |
| ● | we may enter into acquisitions or other material transactions at any time; |
| 3 |
| ● | current and future indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and impair our ability to operate our business; |

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before deciding to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement carefully, including the sections of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein (together with any material changes thereto contained in subsequent filed reports on Form 6-K), our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus and all other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our Company
We are a precious metals focused royalty company offering creative financing solutions to the metals and mining industry. Our diversified portfolio includes 240 royalties across various stages, including 6 royalties on producing projects, as well as 1 streaming interest on a producing project.
Our mission is to acquire royalties, streams and similar interests at varying stages of the mine life cycle to build a balanced portfolio offering near, medium and longer-term returns for our investors.
In carrying out our long-term growth strategy, we seek out and continually review opportunities to expand our portfolio through the acquisition of existing or newly created royalty, stream or similar interests and through accretive acquisitions of companies that hold such assets. In acquiring newly created interests, we act as a source of financing to mining companies for the development and exploration of projects.
Our “royalty generator model” is focused on mineral properties held by us and our subsidiaries and additional properties we may acquire from time to time, with the aim of subsequently optioning or selling them to third-party mining companies in transactions where we would retain a royalty, carried interest or other similar interest. We believe the royalty generator model provides increased volume of potential royalty opportunities, targeting opportunities with potential exploration upside.
We do not generally conduct exploration, development or mining operations on the properties in which we hold interests and we are not required to contribute capital costs for these properties. We may, from time to time, conduct non-material exploration related activities to advance our royalty generator projects.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer
Emerging Growth Company
We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues; the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to a U.S. registration.
As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publicly traded entities that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include: (i) the option to present only two years of audited financial statements and related discussion in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the SEC; (ii) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; (iii) not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); (iv) not being required to submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency,” and “say-on-golden parachutes”; and (v) not being required to disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
Foreign Private Issuer
We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including: (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specific information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties discussed below and described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein, as updated by our subsequent filings, some of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
The following disclosure is intended to highlight, update or supplement previously disclosed risk factors facing the Company set forth in the Company’s public filings. This risk factor should be carefully considered along with any other risk factors identified in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”
We have a history of negative cash flow from operating activities.
We did not have positive cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. While we had positive cash flow from operating activities of $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as a result of increased revenues from our royalty and other interests, if we continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods, net proceeds of a sale of Securities may need to be allocated to fund our operations.
CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS
The following table sets forth our total capitalization as of March 31, 2024:
| ● | on an actual basis; and |
| ● | on a pro forma basis to reflect (i) the issuance and sale of 20,058,300 units at a public offering price of $1.72 per unit in connection with bought deal financing completed on May 31, 2024 (the “Bought Deal”); (ii) the issuance and sale of 2,906,977 common shares at a deemed price of $1.72 per share as partial consideration of the purchase price of a copper stream in respect of certain areas at Vareš Silver Project located in Bosnia and Herzegovina acquired by the Company on June 4, 2024; (iii) 40,488 common shares in connection with the vesting of restricted share units and settlement of options; (iv) 8,000 common shares to a vendor for services; and (v) 167,597 common shares in connection with interest payments on our outstanding convertible debentures. |
The amounts shown below are unaudited. The information set forth in the following table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, in our report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 13, 2024, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
| (In thousands) | Actual | Pro Forma | ||||||

The foregoing table and calculations are based on 145,887,717 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2024, and excludes, in each case as of March 31, 2024:
| ● | 7,766,211 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase common shares with a weighted average exercise price of $3.31 per share; |
| ● | 2,010,922 common shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted share units; |
| ● | 595,350 common shares issuable upon the exercise of 2,430,000 outstanding warrants of Ely Gold Royalties Inc., each such warrant representing the right to acquire, on valid exercise thereof (including payment of the applicable exercise price), 0.2450 of a common share plus C$0.0001, with a weighted average exercise price of C$4.59 per share; |
| ● | up to 22,857,143 common shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding unsecured convertible debentures at maturity and common shares issuable in respect of interest settlement in equity, in the aggregate amount of up to $6,000,000; |
| ● | 4,811,638 common shares that remain reserved for future issuance under our 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan; and |
| ● | 20,058,300 common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants forming part of units sold in connection with the Bought Deal. |

USE OF PROCEEDS
The use of proceeds from the sale of securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a specific offering and sale of securities. Among other potential uses, the Company may use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by the Company hereunder for implementing our growth and acquisition strategy, including the direct and indirect acquisition of additional royalties, streams or similar interests and for general corporate purposes, including funding ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements and to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time.
We had no positive operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the three months ended March 31, 2024. If we continue to have no positive cash flow into the future, net proceeds of a sale of securities may need to be allocated to fund our operations. We anticipate we will have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until such time as the properties underlying our existing royalties or other future interests generate revenues. Future cash flows from such interests are dependent upon the underlying properties achieving production. There can be no assurance that such production will ever be achieved.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The descriptions of the securities contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements, summarize the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the particular terms of any securities offered by such prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the securities may differ from the terms we have summarized below.
We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants and units comprising any combination of these securities. The total dollar amount of all securities that we may issue under this prospectus will not exceed $250.0 million.

For further information, please refer to the full version of our Articles and Bylaws.
General
The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares.
Common Shares
Our common shares are not subject to any future call or assessment, do not have any pre-emptive, conversion, redemption rights or purchase for cancellation rights, and all have equal voting rights. There are no special rights or restrictions of any nature attached to any of the common shares, all of which rank equally as to all benefits which might accrue to the holders of the common shares. All shareholders of the Company are entitled to receive a notice of, attend and vote at any meeting to be convened by the Company. At any meeting, subject to the restrictions on joint registered owners of our common shares, every shareholder has one vote for each common share of which such holder is the registered owner. Voting rights may be exercised in person or by proxy.
Shareholders are entitled to share pro rata in any dividends if, as and when declared by the Company’s board of directors, in its discretion. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of common shares, without preference or distinction, will be entitled to receive ratably all of our assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities, subject to any preferential rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred shares.

Dividend Policy
On January 18, 2022, our board of directors approved the initiation of a quarterly dividend program. The dividend program contemplated quarterly dividends, the declaration, timing, amount and payment of which were subject to the discretion and approval of our board of directors based on relevant factors, including, among others, our financial condition and capital allocation plans.
Our board of directors suspended dividends under our dividend program in connection with our completion of a royalty acquisition on August 30, 2023, in order to focus capital on executing our strategic priority of growing cash flow and net asset value per share through accretive acquisitions. See “Item 5. – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, for further information on our dividend policy and payments made in the financial year ended December 31, 2023.
Preferred Shares
The preferred shares may be issued at any time, or from time to time, in one or more series. Before any preferred shares of a particular series are issued, our board of directors shall, by resolution, fix the number of preferred shares that will form such series and shall, by resolution, fix the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the preferred shares of such series. The preferred shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the preferred shares of every other series with respect to priority in payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or other distribution of assets of the Company among its security holders, for the purpose of winding-up of its affairs.
The preferred shares shall be entitled to preference over the common shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the preferred shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs. The preferred shares may also be given such other preferences over the common shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the preferred shares as may be fixed by our board of directors as to the respective series authorized to be issued.
As of the date hereof, the Company has no preferred shares issued and outstanding.
Shareholder Meetings
Under the CBCA, we are required to hold a general meeting of our shareholders at least once every year at a time and place determined by our board of directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding annual general meeting and no later than six months after the end of our preceding financial year. Our Articles and Bylaws provide that any shareholder meeting may be held at any location within Canada or the United States, as the board of directors may determine in their discretion. The board of directors may decide to arrange for shareholders to be able to participate in the general meeting by means of telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting. A notice to convene a meeting, specifying the date, time and location of the meeting, must be sent to shareholders, to each director and the auditor not less than 21 days prior to the meeting or such other minimum period as required by the applicable securities laws.
All business transacted at a special meeting of shareholders and all business transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders, except consideration of the financial statements, auditor’s report, election of directors and re-appointment of the incumbent auditor, is deemed to be special business. Notice of a meeting of shareholders at which special business is to be transacted shall state (a) the nature of that business in sufficient detail to permit the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment thereon; and (b) the text of any special resolution to be submitted to the meeting.
Under the CBCA, our board of directors has the power at any time to call a special meeting of our shareholders. In addition, the holders of not less than 5% of our shares that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held can also requisition our board of directors to call a meeting of our shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition. If our board of directors does not call the meeting within 21 days after receiving the requisition, our shareholders can call the meeting and the expenses reasonably incurred by such shareholders in requisitioning, calling and holding the meeting must be reimbursed by us.
Those entitled to vote at a meeting are entitled to attend meetings of our shareholders. Every shareholder entitled to vote may appoint a proxyholder to attend the meeting in the manner and to the extent authorized and with the authority conferred by the proxy. Directors, auditors, legal counsels, secretary (if any), and any other persons invited by the chair of the meeting or with the consent of those at the meeting are entitled to attend any meeting of our shareholders but will not be counted in quorum or be entitled to vote at the meeting unless he or she or it is a shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

Shareholder Nominations and Proposals
Under the CBCA, a registered holder or beneficial owner of shares that are entitled to be voted at an annual meeting of shareholders may submit to the corporation notice of any matter that the person proposes to raise at the meeting (a “proposal”), which is subject to any requirements in the Bylaws for advance notice to the corporation. A proposal may include nominations for the election of directors if the proposal is signed by one or more holders of shares representing in the aggregate not less than five per cent of the issued and outstanding shares or five per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of a class of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting to which the proposal is to be presented, but this subsection does not preclude nominations made at a meeting of shareholders.
Advance Notice Provisions
Our Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to: (1) facilitate orderly and efficient annual general meetings or, where the need arises, special meetings; (2) ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of board nominations and sufficient information with respect to all nominees; and (3) allow shareholders to vote on an informed basis. Only persons who are nominated by shareholders in accordance with these advance notice provisions will be eligible for election as directors at any annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, or at any special meeting of the Company’s shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors.
Pursuant to the advanced notice provisions under our Bylaws, shareholders are required to provide the Company with advance notice of their intention to nominate any persons, other than those nominated by management, for election to the Company’s board of directors at a meeting of shareholders. Such notice must include the information prescribed in our Bylaws.
To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be received (i) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than the 30th day prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the shareholder may be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date of such public announcement; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made. Our Bylaws also prescribe the proper written form for a shareholder’s notice. The Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement under these provisions.
These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next shareholder meeting the nomination of certain persons for director that are favored by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.
Shareholder Actions by Written Consent
Under the CBCA, shareholders may act by written resolution signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders.
Amendment to Articles and Bylaws
Under the CBCA, either a director or a shareholder entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may make a proposal to amend the Articles. A proposed amendment to the Articles requires approval by special resolution of the shareholders. A special resolution is a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution or signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution.
Under the CBCA, a shareholder entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may make a proposal to make, amend or repeal a by-law. Unless the Articles, Bylaws or a unanimous shareholder agreement otherwise provide, the directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any bylaws that regulate the business or affairs of the corporation. The directors shall then submit such by-law, or amendment or repeal of such by-law, to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may, confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal by ordinary resolution.
Votes on Mergers, Consolidations and Sale of Assets
Under the CBCA, the approval of an amalgamation agreement and certain other transactions requires approval by special resolution. A special resolution is a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution or signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution.
| 9 |
Forum Selection
Our Bylaws include a forum selection provision that provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada and appellate Courts therefrom, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Company’s behalf; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of its directors, officers or other employees to the Company; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the CBCA or the Articles or Bylaws; or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim otherwise related to the Company’s “affairs” (as defined in the CBCA). The Company’s forum selection bylaw also provides that its securityholders are deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia and to service of process on their counsel in any foreign action initiated in violation of our Bylaws. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company’s forum selection provision will apply to claims arising under U.S. federal securities laws. In addition, investors cannot waive compliance with U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Stock Exchange Listing
The Company’s common shares are listed on NYSE American under the symbol “GROY”.

We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of common shares or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.
Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction
The indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate.
| 11 |
Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
Events of Default Under the Indenture
The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:
| ● | if we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred; |
| ● | if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed; |
| ● | if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant set forth in the debt securities of such series or the applicable indentures, other than a covenant specifically relating to and for the benefit of holders of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice from the debenture trustee or holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and |
| ● | if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur as to us. |
No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.
If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the debenture trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained with respect to debt securities of any series, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the applicable indenture (including payments or deposits in respect of principal, premium or interest that had become due other than as a result of such acceleration). We refer you to the applicable prospectus supplement(s) relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.
Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the debenture trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the debenture trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the debenture trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the debenture trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:
| ● | the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and |
| ● | subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the debenture trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding. |
A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:
| ● | these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities. |
| 12 |
| ● | the holder previously has given written notice to the debenture trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series; |
| ● | the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the debenture trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee; and |
| ● | the debenture trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) other conflicting directions within 60 days after the notice, request and offer. |
We will periodically file statements with the applicable debenture trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the applicable indenture.
Modification of Indenture; Waiver
The debenture trustee and we may change the applicable indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters, including:
| ● | to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; and |
| ● | to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series issued pursuant to such indenture in any material respect. |
In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and we may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:
| ● | extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities; |
| ● | reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities; |
| ● | reducing the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity; |
| ● | making the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; or |
| ● | reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver. |
Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision, which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.
| 13 |
Discharge
Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for obligations to:
| ● | the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series; |
| ● | replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series; |
| ● | maintain paying agencies; |
| ● | hold monies for payment in trust; |
| ● | compensate and indemnify the trustee; and |
| ● | appoint any successor trustee. |
In order to exercise our rights to be discharged with respect to a series, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, the premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series.
At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange or in the applicable indenture, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.
We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.
If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:
| ● | issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or |
| ● | register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part. |
Information Concerning the Debenture Trustee
The debenture trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the applicable indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.
| 14 |
Payment and Paying Agents
Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.
We will pay the principal of and any premium and interest due on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder. Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.
All money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.
Governing Law
The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.
Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities
Our obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.
Enforceability of Judgments
Since all or substantially all of our assets, as well as the assets of most of our directors and officers, are outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or certain of our directors or officers, including judgments with respect to the payment of principal on the debt securities, may not be collectible within the United States.
We have been advised that the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein permit an action to be brought against us in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia on any final and conclusive judgment in personam of any federal or state court located in the State of New York, or a New York Court, which is subsisting and unsatisfied for a sum certain with respect to the enforcement of the indenture and the debt securities that is not impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws of the State of New York if: (1) the New York Court rendering such judgment had jurisdiction over the judgment debtor, as recognized by the courts of the Province of British Columbia (and submission by us in the indenture to the jurisdiction of the New York Court will be sufficient for that purpose); (2) proper service of process in respect of the proceedings in which such judgment was obtained was made in accordance with New York law; (3) such judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice and the enforcement thereof would not be inconsistent with public policy, as such terms are understood under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, the federal laws of Canada or contrary to any order made by the Attorney General of Canada and under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada); (4) the enforcement of such judgment would not be contrary to the laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including bankruptcy, reorganization, winding-up, moratorium and similar laws, and does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the enforcement of foreign laws which a court in the Province of British Columbia would characterize as revenue, expropriatory or penal laws; (5) in an action to enforce a default judgment, the judgment does not contain a manifest error on its face; (6) the action to enforce such judgment is commenced within the appropriate limitation period; (7) interest payable on the debt securities is not characterized by a court in the Province of British Columbia as interest payable at a criminal rate within the meaning of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada); and (8) the judgment does not conflict with another final and conclusive judgment in the same cause of action; except that a court in the Province of British Columbia may stay an action to enforce a foreign judgment if an appeal of a judgment is pending or time for appeal has not expired; and except that any court in the Province of British Columbia may give judgment only in Canadian dollars.
We have been advised that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws.

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS
We may issue subscription receipts that are exchangeable for our equity securities and/or other securities. The particular terms and provisions of subscription receipts offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to them, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. This description will include, without limitation, where applicable:
| ● | the title and number of subscription receipts; |
| ● | the price at which the subscription receipts will be offered; |
| ● | the currency in which the subscription receipts will be offered and whether the price is payable in installments; |
| ● | the period during which and the price at which the subscription receipts will be offered; |
| ● | the terms, conditions and procedures for the exchange of the subscription receipts into or for our equity securities and/or other securities; |
| ● | the circumstances, if any, which will cause the subscription receipts to be deemed to be automatically converted or exchanged; |
| ● | the designation, number and terms of our equity securities and/or other securities that may be issued or delivered upon exchange of each subscription receipt; |

| ● | certain material Canadian and United States tax consequences of owning or converting or exchanging the subscription receipts; and |
| ● | any other material terms and conditions of the subscription receipts. |
Subscription receipts may be offered separately or together with other securities, as the case may be. The subscription receipts may be issued under one or more subscription receipt agreements, each to be entered into between us and an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), which will establish the terms and conditions of the subscription receipts. Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province or territory thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. The applicable prospectus supplement will include details of the subscription receipt agreement, if any, governing the subscription receipts being offered. We will file a copy of any subscription receipt agreement relating to an offering of subscription receipts with the relevant securities regulatory authorities in Canada after it has been entered into by us. In the United States, we will file as exhibits to the registration statement, or will incorporate by reference from subsequently filed reports on Form 6-K that we file with the SEC, any subscription receipt describing the terms and conditions of subscription receipts we are offering before the issuance of such subscription receipts.
Our equity securities and/or other securities issued or delivered upon the exchange of subscription receipts will be issued for no additional consideration.
Prior to the exchange of their subscription receipts, holders of subscription receipts will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities subject to the subscription receipts.
| 16 |
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants for the purchase of debt securities, preferred shares or common shares. Warrants may be issued independently or together with debt securities, preferred shares or common shares and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Any issue of warrants may be substantially similar to our Listed Warrants. Any issue of warrants will be governed by the terms of the applicable form of warrant and any related warrant agreement which we will file with the SEC and they will be incorporated by reference to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before the time we issue any warrants.
The particular terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:
| ● | the title of such warrants; |
| ● | the aggregate number of such warrants; |
| ● | the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued; |
| ● | the currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which the price of such warrants may be payable; |
| ● | the terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of such warrants; |
| ● | the price at which the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased; |
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise such warrants will commence and the date on which such right shall expire; |
| ● | the manner of exercise of the warrants, including any cashless exercise rights; |
| ● | any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants; |
| ● | if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants that may be exercised at any one time; |
| ● | if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which such warrants are issued and the number of such warrants issued with each such security; |
| ● | if applicable, the date on and after which such warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable; |
| ● | the warrant agreement under which the warrants will be issued; |
| ● | the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants; |
| ● | anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, if any; |
| ● | the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified; |
| ● | the identities of the warrant agent and any calculation or other agent for the warrants; |
| ● | certain material Canadian and United States tax consequences of holding or exercising warrants; |
| ● | any securities exchange or quotation system on which the warrants or any securities deliverable upon exercise of the warrants may be listed or quoted; |
| ● | information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and |
| ● | any other terms of such warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange or exercise of such warrants. |
The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants to purchase equity securities may also include, if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. and Canadian federal income tax and Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 considerations.
| 17 |
Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of preferred or common shares at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement.
After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. We will specify the place or places where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred shares or common shares, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities, preferred shares or common shares purchasable upon exercise, except as otherwise provided in the terms of such warrants.
Any warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action the holder’s right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants in accordance with their terms.
No warrant agreement will be qualified as an indenture, and no warrant agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Therefore, holders of warrants issued under a warrant agreement will not have the protection of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to their warrants.
Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, each warrant agreement and any warrants issued under the warrant agreements will be governed by New York law.
Our Listed Warrants are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “GROY.WS”.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of units to which any prospectus supplement may relate.
We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued, if any, may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:
| ● | the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; |
| ● | any unit agreement under which the units will be issued; |
| ● | any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; |
| ● | whether the securities comprising the units will be listed on any securities exchange; and |
| ● | whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form. |
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any units. The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.
TAXATION
Our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the most recent year incorporated by reference herein provides a discussion of certain tax considerations that may be relevant to prospective investors in our securities. The applicable prospectus supplement may also contain information about certain material tax considerations relating to the securities covered by such prospectus supplement. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion in any prospectus supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.
| 18 |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus to one or more underwriters or dealers for public offering, through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal), through agents, directly by us to one or more purchasers (including our affiliates and shareholders), through a specific bidding or auction process, a rights offering or otherwise or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The name of any such underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the offer and sale of the securities, the amounts underwritten and the nature of its obligation to take the securities will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have reserved the right to sell the securities directly to investors on our own behalf in those jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so. The sale of the securities may be effected in one or more transactions, including block transactions (which may involve crosses) and transactions on any national or international securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus; ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers; transactions in the over-the-counter market; in transactions not involving market markers or otherwise than on such exchanges or in the over-the-counter market; or through the writing of options. Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.
In addition, the securities offered by this prospectus may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by us or our subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the securities separately, a combination of the securities or any combination of, among other things, securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.
We and our agents and underwriters may offer and sell the securities at a fixed price or prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The securities may be offered on an exchange, which will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as our agents, to offer and sell the securities upon such terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We may also sell the securities offered by any applicable prospectus supplement in “at-the-market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415 of the Securities Act or “at-the-market distributions” within the meaning of NI 44-102 made through the facilities of the NYSE American or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise. No agent, underwriter or broker dealer involved in an “at-the-market offering” or “at-the-market distribution” and no affiliate of such agent, underwriter or dealer or person or company acting jointly or in concert with such agent, underwriter or dealer may, in connection with such offering or distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities distributed under any applicable prospectus supplement qualifying an “at-the-market offering” or “at-the-market distribution”, including an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the agent, underwriter or dealer creating an over-allotment position in the securities.
If we use underwriters to sell securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with them at the time of the sale to them. In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. The names of any underwriters, any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement to the extent required by applicable law. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions (which may be changed from time to time) from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis.
| 19 |
If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain specified institutions to purchase offered securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the validity or performance of any such contracts. Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may also be solicited directly.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution towards certain civil liabilities, including any liabilities under the Securities Act.
To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities, other than in relation to an “at-the-market distribution” or “at-the-market offering” or as may otherwise be set out in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of the securities. These may include over-allotment, stabilization, syndicate short covering transactions and penalty bids. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim selling concessions from dealers when the securities originally sold by the dealers are purchased in covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions. These transactions may cause the price of the securities sold in an offering to be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time.
Any securities other than our common shares and warrants issued hereunder may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters or agents to or through whom such securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any such securities. The amount of expenses expected to be incurred by us in connection with any issuance of securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for, us and certain of our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus we are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes us, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also restricts bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our shares of common shares.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we have filed with the SEC. To see more detail, you should read the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules filed with, or incorporated by reference into, our registration statement.
The SEC maintains a website that contains reports and other information regarding issuers, such as us, that file electronically with the SEC. The address is www.sec.gov.
We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers and under those requirements file reports with the SEC. Accordingly, we are required to file or furnish reports and other information with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and from short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, among other things. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
We maintain a corporate website at www.goldroyalty.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
We file annual and special reports and other information with the SEC. These filings contain important information which does not appear in this prospectus. The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to other documents which we have filed or will file with the SEC. We are incorporating by reference in this prospectus the documents listed below and all amendments or supplements we may file to such documents, as well as any future filings we may make with the SEC on Form 20-F under the Exchange Act before the time that all of the securities offered by this prospectus have been sold or de-registered:
| ● | the description of our common shares contained in our Form 8-A12B, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2021 (File No. 001-40099), as amended and supplemented by the description of our common shares included in Exhibit 2.1 to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 including any subsequent amendment or any report filed for the purpose of updating such description; |
| ● | our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024; and |

Any statement in this prospectus contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement in this prospectus or in any later filed document modifies or supersedes that statement. Any statement that is modified or superseded in this manner will no longer be a part of this prospectus, except as modified or superseded.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of Canada. Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, several of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.
In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.
