Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Triple Flag Precious Metals announced a new streaming agreement with Evolution Mining to help develop the gold-dominant E44 open pit deposit at the Northparkes mine in Australia. Triple Flag’s subsidiary will fund US$84.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2026.

In return, Triple Flag International is entitled to purchase 20% of payable gold and 30% of payable silver from the E44 Gold Deposit, paying 10% of the spot price per ounce. Evolution has committed to guaranteed minimum deliveries of 45,052 ounces of gold and 446,200 ounces of silver from 2030 to 2037.

The current E44 resource is 8.7 million tonnes grading 1.34 g/t gold in the measured and indicated category, higher than Northparkes’ 0.28 g/t proved and probable gold reserve grade. If no positive construction decision is made by December 31, 2029, Evolution may terminate its cumulative minimum delivery obligations by paying US$102.5 million, while Triple Flag would still receive deliveries based on actual E44 production.

Insights

Triple Flag secures a long-life gold and silver stream at Northparkes with guaranteed deliveries tied to E44.

Triple Flag will provide US$84.3 million in Q4 2026 to support development of the E44 Gold Deposit at Northparkes. In exchange, its subsidiary obtains rights to 20% of payable gold and 30% of payable silver from E44, paying only 10% of spot prices per ounce.

The agreement includes guaranteed minimum deliveries totaling 45,052 ounces of gold and 446,200 ounces of silver between 2030 and 2037, which provides clearer volume expectations. E44’s measured and indicated gold grade of 1.34 g/t compares favorably with Northparkes’ 0.28 g/t proved and probable gold reserve grade, indicating a richer ore body on current data.

A key structural feature is Evolution’s option, if no positive construction decision is made by December 31, 2029, to end its cumulative minimum delivery obligations with a US$102.5 million payment, after which Triple Flag would receive stream deliveries solely from actual E44 production. Overall, this frames E44 as a potential long-term growth contributor whose realized value will depend on project execution and future operating decisions at Northparkes.

NEWS RELEASE

 

Toronto, February 10, 2026

 

Triple Flag and Evolution to Unlock the Gold-Dominant E44 Deposit at Northparkes, Underpinned by Guaranteed Gold and Silver Deliveries

 

TORONTO, Ontario – Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (with its subsidiaries, “Triple Flag” or the “Company”) (TSX: TFPM, NYSE: TFPM) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Triple Flag International Ltd. (“Triple Flag International”), has agreed with Evolution Mining Limited (“Evolution”) to fund US$84.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 for the development of the new gold-dominant E44 open pit deposit (the “E44 Gold Deposit”) at Northparkes, with Evolution committing to guaranteed minimum deliveries of 45,052 ounces of gold and 446,200 ounces of silver over the 2030 to 2037 period from the E44 Gold Deposit (the “E44 Amendment”). Triple Flag also congratulates Evolution on its announcement that it has approved the block cave development of the gold-rich E22 deposit at the Northparkes mine, as well as the commencement of a mill expansion study to evaluate the viability of increasing processing capacity to 10 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) or more, from 7.5 Mtpa currently.

 

The E44 Gold Deposit is a gold-dominant deposit located approximately 21 kilometers away from current mill infrastructure and mining areas. Pursuant to the E44 Amendment, Triple Flag International is entitled to purchase 20% of payable gold and 30% of payable silver from the E44 Gold Deposit for an ongoing payment of 10% of the spot gold and silver price for each ounce delivered (the “E44 Stream”). Triple Flag International has an existing 54% gold and 80% silver stream at Northparkes for an ongoing payment of 10% of the spot gold and silver price for each ounce delivered (the “Existing Stream”). The Existing Stream is unaffected, other than with respect to the E44 Gold Deposit. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in US dollars.

 

“I am pleased that we have reached an agreement with Evolution to unlock the E44 Gold Deposit. Northparkes is currently a copper mine with gold and silver byproducts, but historically there have been numerous gold-dominant deposits within the more than 1,000 square kilometer stream area. As E44 is a gold-dominant deposit, we have agreed with Evolution to a lower stream rate on the E44 Gold Deposit and to provide additional development funding, in exchange for guaranteed gold and silver deliveries from the E44 Gold Deposit and have thereby jointly unlocked significant incremental value for both Evolution and Triple Flag. The gold potential of the Northparkes land package in this higher gold price environment is immense, and I congratulate Lawrie and the Evolution team for identifying the inherent value at E44 and am excited for the potential for more gold exploration success in the future,” commented Sheldon Vanderkooy, CEO of Triple Flag.

 

“Finally, Evolution’s announcement of the block cave development of E22, commencement of a mill expansion study to potentially increase processing capacity to 10 Mtpa, and the new E44 Gold Deposit clearly positions Northparkes as a significant growth asset for Triple Flag and its shareholders.”

Managing Director and CEO of Evolution, Lawrie Conway, said, “Today marks a major milestone for our Northparkes operation, where we have now established a pathway to unlock even more value. To achieve this, we needed to have full alignment with Triple Flag on how this value can be realized. Triple Flag has demonstrated throughout our discussions, a commitment to jointly work on unlocking this potential. I thank Sheldon and the Triple Flag team for their collaboration and support of Northparkes.”

 

E44 Stream Highlights

 

·Evolution to advance the high-grade E44 gold open pit to production, representing material upside from a deposit previously not included in the life-of-mine plan. Minimum guaranteed deliveries to Triple Flag from the E44 Gold Deposit will commence in 2030 with significant potential to extend the mine life.

 

oThe E44 Stream. Triple Flag has the right to purchase 20% of payable gold and 30% of payable silver from the E44 Gold Deposit for an ongoing payment of 10% of the spot gold and silver price for each ounce delivered. There are no step-downs associated with the E44 Stream. Additionally, deliveries to Triple Flag made under the E44 Stream are excluded for the purpose of calculating the step-down milestones under the Existing Stream at Northparkes.

 

oGuaranteed minimum deliveries. Evolution has guaranteed a schedule of minimum cumulative quarterly gold and silver deliveries over the 2030 to 2037 period totaling 45,052 ounces of goldi and 446,200 ounces of silverii. These minimum deliveries are in excess of any deliveries otherwise due under the Existing Stream from areas other than the E44 Deposit.

 

oConsideration. Triple Flag will fund $84.3 million to Evolution in the fourth quarter of 2026. The transaction will be funded from available capital, including cash on hand as well as our $700 million credit facility plus a $300 million accordion facility.

 

oE44 is a high-grade, advanced, open pit gold project. Northparkes is currently a copper-dominant mine with gold and silver byproducts. The E44 Gold Deposit is distinct in that it is a gold-dominant deposit with a silver byproduct (and without meaningful copper content) that is located approximately 21 kilometers away from current mill infrastructure and mining areas. Triple Flag’s Stream Area at the Northparkes asset is in excess of 1,000 square kilometers and includes the E44 Gold Deposit.

On a 100% basis, the current E44 gold resource is 8.7 million tonnes grading 1.34 g/t Au, containing 0.38 million ounces in the measured and indicated categoryiii. These grades are significantly higher than the current proved and probable gold reserve grade at Northparkes of 0.28 g/t Auiv.

 

Should a positive construction decision for the E44 Gold Deposit not be made by December 31, 2029, Evolution may (but is not required to) elect to terminate its cumulative minimum delivery obligations under the E44 Stream for a cash payment of $102.5 million. If Evolution so elects, Triple Flag will remain entitled to deliveries from E44 based solely on actual gold and silver production from the E44 Gold Deposit.

oSignificant exploration potential at E44. Drilling supports the continuation of mineralization at depth. Additionally, development of E44 will create infrastructure in a highly prospective area for further drilling of surface gold and copper mineralization.

Additional Information Regarding E22 and Processing Capacity Expansion Study

 

·E22 to advance to production as a block cave, providing a cornerstone to unlock a potential mill expansion to 10 Mtpa from the current ~7.5 Mtpa that provides further long-term growth optionality.

 

oDriven by its large resource base, the development of the E22 underground orebody as a block cave provides the basis to unlock a potential mill expansion at Northparkes to 10 Mtpa, representing the optimal path forward for this long-life asset that would result in a higher than expected production profile, improved scale and processing optionality. Pre-feasibility level or concept studies to be completed at underground cave deposits such as MJH, GRP, E48 Lift 2 and E26 Lift 3, as well as at open pit deposits such as E44, Major Tom and E51, will support the completion of a mill expansion study.

 

oOn a 100% basis, the current measured and indicated gold resource (inclusive of proved and probable reserves) at Northparkes is 550 million tonnes grading 0.20 g/t Au, containing 3.5 million ounces Au, while the inferred gold resource is 50 million tonnes grading 0.16 g/t Au, containing 0.26 million ounces Auiv.

 

4 

 

 

oEconomic and environmental studies for the mill expansion are expected to be completed over the next two to three years. Concurrently, Evolution will advance E22 to target first cave production by the end of its fiscal 2030 year. The E22 block cave is subsequently expected to ramp-up to steady-state production, which would align with the timing of a potential mill expansion.

 

Asset Background

 

Northparkes is located in New South Wales, Australia, 27 km northwest of the town of Parkes. Discovered in 1976, the copper-gold mine has been operating since 1993 from both open pit and underground operations. Currently, Northparkes’ low cost profile is driven by highly mechanized, bulk tonnage caving methods used to mine multiple underground deposits. The asset has a long track record of reserve replacement and was operated by Rio Tinto from 2000 to 2013 following Rio Tinto’s acquisition of North Limited. China Molybdenum (“CMOC”) acquired Rio Tinto’s stake in Northparkes in December 2013, with the remaining 20% stake held by Sumitomo. Evolution subsequently acquired CMOC’s stake in Northparkes in December 2023.
