Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Versamet Royalties Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Versamet Royalties Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the
Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
Expressed in U.S dollars unless otherwise stated
1. Nature of Operations
Versamet Royalties Corporation ("Versamet" or "the Company") was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on January 24, 2011. Versamet is a single entity. The Company's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") in Canada and the Nasdaq in the United States under the symbol "VMET".
Versamet is a diversified metals royalty and streaming company with exposure to a range of resource royalties and streams including gold, silver, copper, zinc, graphite and uranium, across a variety of jurisdictions. Typically, in return for making an upfront payment to acquire a royalty or stream on a mining operation or project, Versamet receives a portion of the revenue generated from the mine on an ongoing basis, usually over the life of the mine or receives metal deliveries over a pre-determined period or up to a pre-determined quantity. For all periods presented, all earnings per share and share information in these financial statements and notes are on a post-consolidation basis, reflecting the effect of the five-to-one share consolidation of the Company's outstanding common shares that took effect on September 12, 2025. See note 9.
The head office, principal address and registered office of Versamet is located at Suite 3200, 733 Seymour St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 0S6.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 12, 2026.
2. Basis of Presentation and Material Accounting Policy Information
Statement of Compliance
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards" or "IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Material Accounting Policies
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, demand deposits and money market investments with maturities from the date of acquisition of three months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant changes in value.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 6 |
STREAM, ROYALTY AND OTHER INTERESTS
Stream, royalty and other interests consist of acquired royalty and stream metal purchase agreements. These interests are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets with finite lives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Project evaluation costs that are not related to a specific agreement are expensed in the period incurred.
For asset acquisitions of stream, royalty and other interests that do not constitute a business combination, the identifiable assets acquired are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. The acquisition date is the date at which the Company obtains control over the assets acquired. Transaction costs are capitalized.
Stream, royalty and other interests related to producing mines are bifurcated into a depletable and non-depletable balance. The split between the depletable and non-depletable balances is based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the mine plan in question for that royalty or stream. Included in the depletable balance is 100% of Mineral Reserves and a portion of Resources, which can differ from asset to asset depending on factors such as stage of the project, nature of the ore deposit or risk profile of the asset and the assets' history of converting Resources to Reserves. Included in the non-depletable balance are the remaining Resources (not included in the depletable balance) and any exploration potential, if applicable. The Company assigns value to exploration potential on an asset-by-asset basis, where applicable, based on publicly available information and information gathered during due diligence of an asset prior to acquisition. This information would include geological, economic and operational factors which would indicate the likelihood of discovering additional mineral resources. The Company makes estimates of mineralization and weighting of Mineral Resource conversions using publicly available information of the operators including their National Instrument 43-101 or JORC-compliant Reserve and Resource statements and considering factors such as the stage of the project, nature of the ore deposit or risk profile when determining depletable and non-depletable amounts. The depletable balance is depleted using the units-of-production method over the life of the property to which the agreement relates, which is estimated using available information of Proven and Probable Reserves and the portion of Resources expected to be classified as Mineral Reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific interest. The non-depletable balance is not depleted but along with the depletable balance is evaluated for impairments when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company monitors the publicly available information of the operators including their Reserve and Resource statements and guidance for the year ahead (in the case of operating mines) in order to assess whether there has been a change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of the assets underlying the royalties, streams and other interests, in order to determine the most appropriate method of depletion.
On acquisition of a stream, royalty or other interest, an allocation of its cost may be attributed to the exploration potential of the interest and is recorded as a non-depletable asset on the acquisition date. The value of the exploration potential is accounted for in accordance with either IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment or IFRS 6, Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources ("IFRS 6") depending on the classification of the underlying asset to which the exploration potential relates. With respect to exploration potential classified under IFRS 6, it is not depleted until such time as the technical feasibility, commercial viability, and a development decision have been established, at which point the value of the asset is reclassified and accounted for in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment. These considerations are consistent with those assessed by the Company when determining the classification of stream, royalty and other interests upon acquisition. The asset is subject to an impairment test prior to reclassification in accordance with IFRS 6. With respect to exploration potential classified as IAS 16, this is not depleted until there is an updated Reserves and Resource statement issued on the associated property which shows an increase in the Reserve and Resources of the asset at which point a proportionate amount of the exploration potential is reclassified to the depletable pool.
IMPAIRMENT OF STREAM, ROYALTY AND OTHER INTERESTS
Evaluation of the carrying values of each stream, royalty or other interest is undertaken when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Although the Company does not operate any of the mining interests in which it holds a stream, royalty or other interest, the Company monitors the operators publicly available information (where applicable) for updates with respect to the assets' performance and future intentions of the operator with respect to exploration and evaluation of Resources and development of projects. Further, the Company is entitled under each royalty and streaming agreement to the operators' budget and production forecasts for the upcoming year, which helps inform Versamet management as to whether there are any impairment indicators. Impairment is assessed at the level of cash-generating units, which is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows and largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. This is usually at the individual stream, royalty, or other interest level for each property from which cash inflows are generated.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 7 |
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") and its value in use ("VIU"). Estimated future cash flows are calculated using estimated production, sales prices and a discount rate. Estimated future production is determined using current Reserves and the portion of Resources expected to be classified as Mineral Reserves, as well as exploration potential expected to be converted into Resources or Reserves. Estimated sales prices are determined by reference to an average of long-term metal price forecasts by research analysts and management's expectations. The discount rates used are those which are considered appropriate to the mine in question, its risk profile and the type of commodity. All inputs used are those that an independent market participant would consider appropriate. In addition, the Company may use other market approaches for determining the recoverable amount which may include an estimate of (i) dollar value per unit of mineral reserve/resource; (ii) net asset value multiples (iii) cash-flow multiples; (iv) comparable transactions or (v) market capitalization of comparable assets.
An assessment is made at each reporting period if there is any indication that a previous impairment loss may no longer exist or has decreased. If indications are present, the carrying value of the interest is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount net of depletion that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the interest in previous periods.
Stream, royalty and other interests classified as exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist in accordance with IFRS 6. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount.
GREENSTONE GOLD INTEREST
The Company purchases certain amounts of gold by providing an initial deposit that is recorded as a Greenstone gold interest. The Greenstone gold interest meets the definition of a financial asset in accordance with financial instrument standards and is classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The Greenstone gold interest is measured initially at fair value and then subsequently at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized as a component of net income. The difference between the fair value of the gold delivered and the ongoing payments for the gold delivered are recorded as a partial settlement of the Greenstone gold interest and recorded in cost of sales.
When gold is delivered to the Company under the Greenstone gold purchase agreement with Equinox ("GPA" - note 4), the Company initially records the gold as inventory; upon sale of the inventory, the amount in inventory is recognized in cost of sales.
The current portion of the Greenstone gold interest is determined at each reporting date based on the fair value of the estimated gold to be delivered in the following year.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is comprised of revenue earned from royalty interests and from the sale of the relevant commodity under the GPA and stream interests.
Revenue recognition on royalty interests occurs when control of the relevant commodity is transferred to the end customer by the operator of the royalty property. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable when management can reliably estimate the amount, pursuant to the terms of the royalty agreement. In some instances, the Company will not have access to sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of consideration to which it expects to be entitled and, accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until management can make a reasonable estimate. Differences between estimates and actual amounts are adjusted and recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known.
Revenue recognition from the sale of the relevant commodity occurs when control is transferred to a third-party customer. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 8 |
FINANCIAL ASSETS
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI"), or through profit or loss), and;
Those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or OCI.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. There are three measurement categories under which the Company classifies its financial instruments:
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included as finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through OCI ("FVTOCI"): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains and losses, interest revenue, and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included as finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on an investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. The GPA is held at FVTPL.
Investments in common shares are held for long-term strategic purposes and not for trading. The Company has made an irrevocable election to designate all these investments as fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") in order to provide a more meaningful presentation based on management's intention, rather than reflecting changes in fair value in profit or loss. Such investments are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized as a component of other comprehensive income under the classification of gain (loss) on revaluation of investments. Cumulative gains and losses are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
Transaction costs incurred on initial recognition of financial instruments classified as loans and receivables, FVTOCI and other financial liabilities are recognized at their fair value amount and offset against the related loans and receivables or capitalized when appropriate.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into the following categories: financial liabilities at FVTPL and amortized cost.
A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The fair value changes to financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as follows: the amount of change in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in OCI; and the remaining amount of the change in the fair value is presented in profit or loss. The Company recorded the derivative liability on the Beedie Convertible Loan at FVTPL until it was settled.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 9 |
Other non-derivative financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company has a functional currency and presentation currency of the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions and balances are translated into the functional currency as follows: (i) monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the Statement of Financial Position date; (ii) non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies and measured at other than fair value are translated using the rates of exchange at the transaction dates; (iii) non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the rates of exchange at the dates those fair values are determined; and (iv) income statement items denominated in foreign currencies are translated using average exchange rates for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss and presented in the Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in accordance with the nature of the transactions to which the foreign currency gains and losses relate.
Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalent balances denominated in foreign currencies are disclosed separately in the Statement of Cash Flows.

When refined gold or the applicable commodity is delivered to the Company under a Stream agreement it is recorded as inventory. The amount recognized as inventory includes both the cash payment and the related depletion associated with the underlying Stream interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At such time the inventory is sold, the amounts recognized in inventory are recorded as cost of sales and depletion.
INCOME TAXES
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used are those that are substantively enacted by the end of the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting. The change in the net deferred income tax asset or liability is included in income except for deferred income tax relating to equity items which is recognized directly in equity. The income tax effects of differences in the periods when revenue and expenses are recognized, in accordance with the Company's accounting practices, and the periods they are recognized for income tax purposes are reflected as deferred income tax assets or liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the substantively enacted statutory income tax rates which are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets are realized or the liabilities settled. A valuation allowance is recorded against any deferred tax asset if it is not probable to be utilized against future taxable profit.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity and are intended to be settled on a net basis.
The determination of current and deferred taxes requires interpretations of tax legislation, estimates of expected timing of reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and estimates of future earnings.
SHARE CAPITAL
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from the proceeds in equity in the period where the transaction occurs.
The fair value of common shares issued for goods and services is based on the fair value of the goods or services received unless the fair value cannot be readily determined. If the fair value cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the market closing price on the date the shares are issued, while the fair value of share purchase warrants is estimated using the quoted market price or if the warrants are not traded, using the Black-Scholes Model ("BSM") as of the date of issuance.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 10 |
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive common share equivalents, which includes dilutive share options, restricted share units ("RSUs") and performance restricted share units ("PRSUs") using the treasury stock method.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted share units, performance restricted share units and common shares granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants under the Company's equity-based incentive plans.
Stock options
The fair value of stock options is determined by using the BSM, with market-related inputs as of the grant date. The use of the BSM requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the expected volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, the expected life of the stock options and the number of options expected to vest. Volatility is estimated using the historic stock price of similar listed entities, the expected term and the number of equity instruments expected to vest is estimated using management judgement. The fair value of stock options at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods with a corresponding increase to equity. Stock options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values.
Restricted share units
The fair value of RSUs is determined by the market value of the underlying shares at the date of the grant. Under the Company's RSU Plan, the Board of Directors has the discretion to determine upon grant whether the RSUs are to be settled in cash or equity.
Where the Company does not have a present obligation to settle the issued RSUs in cash, the RSUs issued are treated as equity-settled instruments. The fair value of RSUs is determined using the fair value of the RSU at the date of grant and is adjusted based on the number of equity instruments expected to ultimately vest. The fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods with a corresponding increase to equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of any revisions to this estimate in equity.
Performance restricted share units
The fair values of equity-settled PRSUs with market conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo method to project the performance of the Company and, if applicable, the relevant market index against which the Company's performance is compared. The use of the Monte Carlo pricing model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the PRSUs including assumptions with respect to share price, expected life, share price volatility, correlation assumptions and discount rates. Share-based compensation expense related to PRSUs that vest based on market conditions is recognized over the vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the award.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Parties are considered related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered related if they are subject to common control or significant influence. A transaction is considered a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
SEGMENT REPORTING
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Company's operating segments are components of the Company's business for which discrete financial information is available and which are reviewed regularly by the Company's Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

Changes in Accounting Standards
NEW STANDARDS ISSUED AND NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The International Accounting Standards Board has issued classification and measurement and disclosure amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 with an effective date for years beginning on or after January 1, 2026 with earlier application permitted. The amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities and introduce a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic payment system. Other changes include a clarification of the requirements when assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criteria and new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (including instruments where cash flows changes are linked to environmental, social or governance targets). The amendments are effective for the year beginning January 1, 2026. The Company has evaluated the amendments and determined they are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) is a new standard that will provide new presentation and disclosure requirements and replace International Accounting Standard 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1). IFRS 18 introduces changes to the structure of the income statement; provides required disclosures in financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and provides enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation in financial statements. Many other existing principles in IAS 1 have been maintained. IFRS 18 is effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. The Company intends to adopt these amendments for the year beginning January 1, 2027.
The Company has not yet commenced the evaluation of the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.
3. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes the estimates and assumptions used in these financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
The Company's significant accounting estimates and judgements applied in these financial statements are as follows:
ACCOUNTING FOR ACQUISITION OF ASSETS AND STREAM, ROYALTY AND OTHER INTERESTS
The Company's business is the acquisition of stream, royalties and other interests. Each stream, royalty and other interest has its own unique terms and judgement is required to assess the appropriate accounting treatment. The determination of whether an acquisition should be accounted for as stream, royalty and other interest or a financial instrument requires the consideration of factors such as (i) the terms of the agreement; (ii) the applicability of the own use exemption under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9"); and (iii) whether there is a contractual commitment to repay amounts under the stream, royalty and other interests. The assessment of whether an acquisition meets the definition of a business or whether assets are acquired is another area of key judgement. If deemed to be a business combination, applying the acquisition method to business combinations requires each identifiable asset and liability to be measured at its acquisition date fair value. The excess, if any, of the fair value of the consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The determination of the acquisition date fair values often requires management to make assumptions and estimates about future events. The assumptions and estimates with respect to determining the fair value of stream, royalty and other interests generally require a high degree of judgement, and include estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources acquired, future production, metal prices, discount rates, conversion of Resources and exploration potential, foreign exchange rates, taxes, future capital expansion plans and the associated production implications. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities could impact the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities.
ATTRIBUTABLE RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES
Stream, royalty and other interests are a significant class of assets of the Company, with a carrying value of $318.7 million at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $165.4 million). This amount represents the capitalized expenditures related to the acquisition of the stream, royalty and other interests net of accumulated depletion and any impairments. The Company estimates the Reserves and Resources relating to each interest. Reserves and Resources are estimates of the amount of minerals that can be economically and legally extracted from the mining properties at which the Company has stream and royalty interests, adjusted where applicable to reflect the Company's percentage entitlement to minerals produced from such mines. The public disclosures of Reserves and Resources that are released by the operators of the interests involve assessments of geological and geophysical studies and economic data and the reliance on a number of assumptions, including commodity prices and production costs. The estimates of Reserves and Resources may change based on additional knowledge gained subsequent to the initial assessment. Changes in the estimates of Reserves or Resources, or the date of initial production from the mine may impact the carrying value of the Company's stream, royalty and other interests and depletion charges. Stream, royalty and other interests related to producing mines are bifurcated into a depletable and non-depletable balance. The split between the depletable and non-depletable balances is based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the mine plan in question for that royalty or stream. Included in the depletable balance is 100% of Mineral Reserves and a portion of Resources. Included in the non-depletable balance are the remaining Resources (not included in the depletable balance) and any exploration potential, if applicable. If estimates of the value of the depletable and non-depletable balances of a mining property prove to be inaccurate, this could increase the amount of future depletion expense which would reduce the Company's net income and net assets. Changes to depletion rates are accounted for prospectively.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 12 |
IMPAIRMENT OF STREAM, ROYALTY AND OTHER INTERESTS
Assessment of impairment of stream, royalty and other interests requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates when assessing whether there are any indicators that could give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test as well as in the assessment of their fair values. The assessment of the fair values of stream, royalty and other interests requires the use of estimates and assumptions for Mineral Reserves and Resources, future production, commodity prices, discount rates, conversion of Resources and exploration potential, foreign exchange rates, taxes, future capital expansion plans and the associated production implications. In addition, the Company may use other approaches in determining fair value which may include estimates related to (i) dollar value per unit of mineral reserve/resource; (ii) net asset value multiples (iii) cash-flow multiples; (iv) comparable transactions and (v) market capitalization of comparable assets. Changes in any of the estimates used in determining the fair value of the stream, royalty and other interests could impact the impairment analysis.
FAIR VALUE OF GREENSTONE GOLD INTEREST
The fair value of the Greenstone gold interest was determined by calculating the present value of the future gold deliveries under the GPA. The determination of the fair value of the Greenstone gold interest at period end requires the use of estimates and assumptions for commodity prices, discount rates and the timing of gold receipts received by Versamet under the GPA with Equinox. Changes in any of the estimates and/or assumptions used in determining the fair value could impact the fair value of the Greenstone gold interest at period end and the associated change in fair value of the Greenstone gold interest recorded in the Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the period. Changes in each of the following key assumptions and estimates would have the following impact on the value of the GPA as at December 31, 2025 (with an associated movement in the Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss)):
| Key assumption | Sensitivity applied to key assumption |
Impact on GPA asset value at December 31, 2025 |
| Gold price | +/- 10% | +/- $7.6 million |
| Discount rate | +/- 1% | - $3.7 million / + $4.1 million |
FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY
The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders functional currency if there is a change in events and conditions which determine the primary economic environment.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 13 |
INCOME TAXES
The interpretation of new and existing tax laws or regulations in any of the countries in which our royalty and other interests are located or to which shipments of commodities are made or received requires the use of judgment. Differing interpretation or changes to these laws or regulations could result in an increase in the Company's taxes, or other governmental charges, duties or impositions. In addition, the recoverability of deferred income tax assets, including expected periods of reversal of temporary differences and expectations of future taxable income, are assessed by management at the end of each reporting period and adjusted, as necessary, on a prospective basis.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock options
The Company utilizes the BSM to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The use of the BSM requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the expected volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, the expected life of the stock options and the number of options expected to vest. The expected term of the options granted is determined based on historical data of the average hold period before exercise, cancellation or expiry. Volatility is estimated using the historic stock price of similar listed entities, the expected term and the number of equity instruments expected to vest is estimated using management judgement. Prior to the Company publicly listing its common shares, the expected volatility is estimated with reference to the historical volatility of the share price of a peer group of companies as applicable. Any changes in these assumptions and estimates could change the amount of share-based compensation recognized in profit or loss and the share-based compensation reserve. Significant assumptions related to share-based payments are disclosed in note 9.
PRSUs
The Company uses a Monte Carlo pricing model to estimate the fair value of PRSUs granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The use of the Monte Carlo pricing model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the PRSUs including assumptions with respect to share price, expected life, share price volatility, correlation assumptions and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could change the fair value of the amount of share-based compensation recognized in profit or loss and the share-based compensation reserve. Significant assumptions related to PRSUs are disclosed in note 9.
4. Greenstone Gold Interest
Greenstone Gold Purchase Agreement
On October 31, 2023, Versamet paid $52.5 million to enter into a gold purchase agreement with Equinox Gold Corp. ("Equinox") in exchange for monthly deliveries of gold equal to the greater of (a) 350 gold ounces, and (b) gold ounces equal to 1.26% of the monthly gold production from the Greenstone project in Ontario, Canada, ("Greenstone") at a purchase price per ounce of gold equal to 20% of the then prevailing market price. Monthly gold delivery obligations commenced upon closing of the Greenstone gold interest and will continue until a total of 63,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to Versamet. While gold deliveries will be calculated based on Greenstone production, gold deliveries can be sourced from production from any of Equinox's operating mines. Under the Greenstone gold interest, Equinox retains the option to buy-down deliveries related to 75% of the original delivery obligation at the then current spot gold price, subject to a minimum gold price per ounce of $2,000.
Accounting for the Greenstone Gold Purchase Agreement
In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, the Greenstone gold interest was initially measured at fair value, being the purchase price paid by Versamet for the future stream of gold. Each subsequent period end, the Greenstone gold interest is fair valued using a discounted cash flow of the future expected gold deliveries under the GPA. Significant estimates included in this valuation include commodity prices, discount rates and the timing of deliveries expected to be received by Versamet under the GPA with Equinox. Changes in any of the estimates and/or assumptions used in determining the fair value could impact the fair value of the Greenstone gold interest at period end and the associated change in fair value of the Greenstone gold interest recorded in the Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income during the period.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 14 |
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received 4,200 oz of gold (2024: 4,200 oz) under the Greenstone gold interest, which was initially recognized in inventory. The Company sold the gold for gross proceeds of $14.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $10.0 million), upon the sale, the inventory was recognized in cost of sales. The difference between the fair value of the gold delivered and the payment to Equinox for the gold delivered (at a cost per oz of gold equal to 20% of the prevailing market price) was recorded as a partial settlement of the Greenstone gold interest and included in cost of sales; accordingly, the amount recorded in cost of sales was $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $8.0 million). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a gain in the fair value of the Greenstone gold interest of $32.9 million (2024: $14.1 million gain) primarily driven by an increase in consensus gold prices.
Details of the changes in the carrying value of the Greenstone gold interest are as follows:
| In $000s | $ | ||
| Balance - December 31, 2023 | 56,218 | ||
| Gold deliveries (recognized in cost of sales) | (7,992 | ) | |
| Change in fair value | 14,060 | ||
| Balance - December 31, 2024 | 62,286 | ||
| Gold deliveries (recognized in cost of sales) | (11,580 | ) | |
| Change in fair value | 32,922 | ||
| Balance - December 31, 2025 | 83,628 | ||
| Less: Current portion, December 31, 2025 | (10,784 | ) | |
| Non-current portion, December 31, 2025 | 72,844 |
5. Stream and Royalty Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2025
ROSH PINAH ZINC SILVER STREAM AND SANTA RITA ROYALTY
On September 24, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with funds advised by Appian Capital Advisory Limited to acquire a 90% silver stream on Rosh Pinah Zinc's operating mine in Namibia (the "Silver Stream") and an uncapped, life of mine 2.75% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on Atlantic Nickel's operating Santa Rita mine in Brazil for upfront cash consideration of $125.0 million and contingent consideration of up to $45.0 million upon the following milestones being achieved at the Santa Rita mine:
-
$22.5 million upon the processing of the first 1.0 million tonnes of underground ore provided that occurs prior to July 1, 2035; and
-
$22.5 million upon Santa Rita achieving a throughput rate of 12,500 tonnes per day from underground ore over a 90-day period, provided that occurs prior to July 1, 2035.
The contingent payments and related assets have not been recognized as they are dependent on uncertain future events which are outside of the Company's control.
After a total of 3.1 million ounces of silver have been delivered under the Silver Stream, Versamet will be entitled to receive 45% of the payable silver for the remaining life of the mine. Versamet will make ongoing cash payments equal to 10% of the spot silver price for each ounce delivered to the Silver Stream.
Both the Silver Stream and Santa Rita royalty have an Effective Date of July 1, 2025. For an initial period commencing on the Effective Date, payable silver will be based on the production of recovered zinc from the mine (the "Production Index") as follows:
- 4,000 ounces of payable silver per million pounds of recovered zinc until the delivery of 250,000 silver ounces to the Silver Stream; and
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 15 |
- 2,850 ounces of payable silver per million pounds of recovered zinc thereafter.
The Production Index will terminate on the earlier of i) 1,350,000 ounces of silver delivered to the Silver Stream, or ii) December 31, 2028. After the termination of the Production Index, payable silver will be based on actual payable silver production from the Rosh Pinah Zinc mine.
Management has determined that the acquisition of the Silver Stream and Santa Rita royalty are considered to be asset acquisitions as they did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS.
The Company received $1.2 million of Santa Rita royalty related to the period between the Effective Date and closing of the agreement, which was treated as a purchase price adjustment and credited against the acquisition cost of the royalty. In addition, $0.4 million and $0.2 million of costs associated with the acquisition of the Silver Stream and Santa Rita royalty, respectively, were added to the carrying values of the assets held within Royalty, Stream and Other interests (note 6).
KOLPA COPPER STREAM
In April 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the right to purchase refined copper equal to the greater of 95.8% of the copper produced and 0.03 pounds of copper per pound of produced lead from Endeavour Silver Corp.'s operating Huachocolpa Uno mine in Peru ("Kolpa") until 6,000 tonnes of refined copper have been delivered, after which Versamet will be entitled to purchase 71.85% of the produced copper. Once 10,500 tonnes of refined copper have been delivered, Versamet will have the right to purchase 47.9% of the life of mine copper produced (the "Copper Stream"). Versamet will make ongoing cash payments equal to 10% of the spot price of copper for each tonne of refined copper delivered. As consideration for the Copper Stream, Versamet made an upfront cash payment of $35.0 million. In addition, $0.1 million of costs associated with the acquisition of the Copper Stream were added to the carrying value of the asset held within Royalty, Stream and Other interests (note 6).
During the year ended December 31, 2024
B2GOLD PORTFOLIO
On June 5, 2024, Versamet entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with B2Gold Corp. ("B2Gold") to acquire a portfolio of royalty assets from B2Gold. The Transaction closed in two tranches. The first tranche closed on June 5, 2024 (the "First Closing"), and concurrent with this closing, Versamet purchased 5 royalty assets, including the following assets listed below, in return for 24,409,994 common shares of the Company at an issue price of C$4.00 per common share (total value: $71.6 million):
i) 2.7% NSR royalty (until 2.5 million oz of gold produced, 0.45% NSR on next 1.5 million oz) on the Kiaka project based in Burkina Faso.
ii) 2.7% NSR royalty (until royalty payments total US$22.5 million, and 0.45% thereafter until 1.5 million oz of gold produced) on the Toega project based in Burkina Faso.
iii) 1.5% NSR royalty on the gold-copper Primavera project based in Nicaragua.
On August 13, 2024, Versamet completed the second and final closing (the "Second Closing") related to the acquisition of a royalty portfolio from B2Gold. The Second Closing included the acquisition of a 2.0% NSR royalty over the Mocoa copper-molybdenum project in Colombia owned by Libero Copper & Gold Corporation and a 2.0% NSR royalty on the primary claims plus a 1% NSR royalty on periphery claims over the Golden Sidewalk gold project in Ontario, Canada owned by Prosper Gold Corp in return for 3,493,969 common shares of the Company at an issue price of C$4.00 per common share (total value of $10.25 million).
Management has determined that the acquisition of royalty interests acquired from B2Gold are considered to be asset acquisitions as the royalties acquired did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS. The fair value of the consideration paid for the mining royalties acquired from B2Gold has been allocated based on their fair value at the time of acquisition. The fair value of the common shares issued as consideration was determined to be C$4.00 per common share. The fair value of the mining royalties purchased was determined based on the net present value of the discounted cash flows from each of the royalties. The estimated future cash flows are calculated using estimated production, sales prices and discount rates. Estimated future production is determined using current Reserves and the portion of Resources expected to be classified as Reserves. Estimated sales prices are determined by reference to a long-term consensus metal prices. The discount rates used are those which are considered appropriate for the respective royalty, its risk profile and the relevant commodity.
Management has completed the process of determining fair values for the assets acquired.

1. The total carrying amount of royalty, streams and other interests at December 31, 2025 includes $229,129 (December 31, 2024: $9,581) of depletable mineral interest. The remaining $89,557 (December 31, 2024: $155,825) is classified as non-depletable mineral interest, of which $43,792 (December 31, 2024: $45,862) are classified as Exploration and Evaluation assets, as defined by IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and $45,765 (December 31, 2024: $109,963) are assets not yet in production that are classified as development assets under IAS 16. During the year ended December 31, 2025, no assets were acquired which have been classified as Exploration and Evaluation assets (2024: $12,001). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Cuiú Cuiú project demonstrated technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource and our royalty was reclassified as an asset accounted for under IFRS 6 to an asset under IAS 16 (no assets were reclassified during the year ended December 31, 2024).
Royalty interest impairment
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Mercedes Mine experienced operational challenges and then on January 29, 2025, Bear Creek Mining Corporation ("Bear Creek") announced an updated estimate of mineral reserves and mineral resources (R&R) for the Mercedes Mine. The updated estimate of R&R at the Mercedes Mine was lower than that previously used by management of the Company when valuing its royalty interest in the mine. As a result of these factors, the Company determined there to be an impairment indicator with respect to the carrying value of its Mercedes royalty interest as at December 31, 2024.
The Company determined the fair value of the Mercedes asset as at December 31, 2024 using a fair value less costs to sell model, being a discounted cash flow model of the expected production from the Mercedes mine and the associated royalty payments. Management of Versamet used the updated R&R as released by Bear Creek as a basis for the production expected from the remaining life of mine. Significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow included the gold price (based on consensus gold prices) and an 8% discount rate. A $100 drop in the gold price used in the model would result in an increased impairment of approximately $0.3 million. A 1% increase in the discount rate would have increased the impairment expense by approximately $0.1 million. Management determined that as at December 31, 2024 the recoverable amount of the Mercedes royalty interest was $6.2 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $8.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 18 |
During the year ended December 31, 2025, no impairment charges were recorded.
7. Credit Facilities
On September 24, 2025, the Company amended its credit facility agreement to increase its revolving credit facility to $100.0 million with a $25.0 million accordion feature (the "RCF") and added a new $80.0 million term loan facility (the "TL") (together the "Credit Facilities") arranged by Bank of Montreal ("BMO"), as lead arranger, and National Bank of Canada ("NBC"). Amounts drawn on the Credit Facilities are subject to interest at SOFR plus 2.25% to 3.50% per annum, and the undrawn portion of the RCF is subject to a standby fee of 0.5063% to 0.7875% per annum, both of which are dependent on the Company's leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facilities agreement). The TL is repayable in quarterly instalments of $7.5 million commencing on March 31, 2026, with a final bullet payment of $20.0 million at maturity on March 31, 2028. The RCF matures on April 30, 2028. Unamortized deferred financing costs on the Credit Facilities will be amortized over the remainder of the RCF and TL terms. The Credit Facilities are secured by the Company's present and future acquired assets.
On March 4, 2026, the Company amended the Credit Facilities agreement to upsize the RCF to $200.0 million with a $25.0 million accordion feature (the "Upsized RCF") and retire the TL, which was fully repaid (note 17). The interest rates and standby fees on the Upsized RCF remain unchanged from the RCF. The Upsized RCF matures on March 4, 2029.
Under the Credit Facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and minimum liquidity amounts. As at December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants related to the Credit Facilities.
A continuity of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facilities is as follows:
| In $000s | $ | ||
| Balance - December 31, 2023 | 19,712 | ||
| Accrued Interest | 1,039 | ||
| Interest paid | (1,323 | ) | |

| Less: Current portion, December 31, 2025 | (30,000 | ) | |
| Non-current portion, December 31, 2025 | 141,000 |
The Company capitalized $1.5 million of deferred financing costs during the year ended December 31, 2025, which relates to $1.2 million of commitment and other fees and $0.3 million of prior period unamortized costs which were reclassified. Amortization of the deferred financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $0.3 million ($nil for the comparable periods in 2024).
8. Convertible Debt
On October 31, 2023, Versamet entered into a $16.0 million (the C$22.2 million) convertible loan with Beedie Capital Investments Ltd ("Beedie Capital") (the "Beedie Convertible Loan"). The Beedie Convertible Loan was denominated in Canadian dollars, had a term of 5 years and was scheduled to mature on October 31, 2028. Interest on the Beedie Convertible Loan consisted of an 8% base interest rate and a 1.5% paid-in-kind ("PIK") rate, with the PIK rate reducing to 1.0% upon the public listing of the Company. The Company had the option to pay 25-50% of the base interest rate in common shares of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Amounts outstanding under the Beedie Convertible Loan could be converted into common shares of the Company, at the option of Beedie Capital, at a price of C$4.20 per common share. The Company had the option to prepay the Beedie Convertible Loan, subject to certain fees.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 19 |
On April 30, 2025, the Company exercised its prepayment option and repaid and canceled the Beedie Convertible Loan. On repayment, Beedie Capital elected not to convert amounts outstanding into common shares of the Company. Consequently, the Company repaid the full amount of the loan and accrued interest outstanding in cash which resulted in a derecognition of both the Beedie Convertible Loan and the Convertible debt derivative liability related to the conversion option. The derecognition of the Convertible debt derivative liability of $3.2 million resulted in an equivalent gain in the Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As a result of the revised repayment date, the Company recognized an increase in the carrying amount of the Beedie Convertible Loan of $3.3 million due to the accelerated recording of the accretion expense with a corresponding increase in finance expense. The Company also incurred $2.4 million of non-recurring prepayment fees which were recognized in finance and interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2025.
A continuity of the Beedie Convertible Loan and the Beedie Derivative Liability is as follows:
| In $000s | $ | ||
| Balance - December 31, 2023 | 12,568 | ||
| Accrued Interest | 1,301 | ||

9. Share Capital and Reserves
Authorized, Issued and Outstanding
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value.
On September 12, 2025, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of five (5) pre-consolidation common shares for each one (1) post-consolidation common share (the "Share Consolidation"). As a result of the Share Consolidation, the 466,836,693 pre-consolidation common shares were consolidated to 93,367,340 post-consolidation common shares. The number of common shares issuable, issue prices and exercise price, where applicable, under the Company's stock option, restricted share unit and performance restricted share unit plans were proportionately adjusted based on the ratio of the Share Consolidation. All share and per share information in these financial statements has been adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation.
On August 13, 2024, B2Gold subscribed for 2,556,562 Common Shares at C$4.00 per Common Share for total gross cash proceeds of $7.5 million in conjunction with the acquisition of the B2Gold Portfolio (note 5).

| Performance Restricted Share Units | (79 | ) | 167 | |||
| Total share-based compensation expense | 1,674 | 2,565 |
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has an omnibus equity incentive plan (the "Equity Plan") which allows the Company to grant stock options to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants at an exercise price, expiry date, and vesting conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors. The maximum expiry term is ten years from the grant date. All options are equity settled. The Equity Plan provides for the issuance of up to 10% of the Company's issued Common shares as at the date of the grant.
A continuity schedule for stock options is as follows:
| Stock Options | Number | ||
| Outstanding - December 31, 2023 | 1,906,000 | ||
| Granted | 418,786 | ||
| Outstanding - December 31, 2024 | 2,324,786 | ||

RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS ("RSU")
The Company has a Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") incentive plan whereby the Company may grant RSUs to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants with an expiry date and vesting conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors.
A continuity schedule for RSUs is as follows:
| Restricted Share Units | Number | ||
| Outstanding - December 31, 2022 & 2023 | 400,000 | ||
| Granted | 658,826 | ||
| Outstanding - December 31, 2024 | 1,058,826 | ||
| Granted | 651,563 | ||
| Settled | (566,750 | ) | |
| Forfeited | (144,875 | ) | |
| Outstanding - December 31, 2025 | 998,764 |
The holders of the RSUs have the right to defer receipt of the common shares underlying the RSUs upon vesting. As at December 31, 2025, there were 464,771 RSUs which are exercisable and settlement has been deferred at the election of the holder.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 22 |
The grant date fair value of the RSUs is determined using the market value of the underlying common shares at the date of the grant and is adjusted based on the number of RSUs expected to ultimately vest. The weighted average grant date fair value of the RSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2.70 per RSU.
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS ("PRSU")
The Company has a Performance Restricted Share Unit ("PRSU") incentive plan whereby the Company may grant PRSUs to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants with an expiry date and vesting conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors.
A continuity schedule for PRSUs is as follows:
| Performance Restricted Share Units | Number | ||
| Outstanding - December 31, 2023 & 2024 | 400,000 | ||
| Granted | 400,000 | ||
| Forfeited | (400,000 | ) | |
| Outstanding - December 31, 2025 | 400,000 |
On February 28, 2025, 400,000 PRSUs were forfeited upon the resignation of the CEO resulting in the reversal of $0.4 million of previously expensed share-based compensation.
On April 30, 2025, the Company granted 400,000 equity-settled PRSUs to the CEO which vest upon the achievement of the following two milestones: (a) the first anniversary of the date of grant, and (b) a 40-day volume weighted average share price for the Company of greater than or equal to C$7.00 at any time prior to April 1, 2028.
The following assumptions were used in a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the grant date fair value of the PRSUs:
| Year ended Dec. 31, 2025 |
|||
| Expected stock price volatility | 43.9% | ||
| Risk-free interest rate1 | Various | ||
| Expected life of the options | 3 years | ||
| Expected dividend yield | 0.0% | ||
| Forfeiture rate | 0.0% | ||
| Grant date fair value per PRSU | $ | 1.49 |

| Current income tax expense | 560 | 509 | ||||
| Deferred income tax expense | 8,710 | 1,065 | ||||
| Total income tax expense | 9,270 | 1,574 |
The current tax expense was incurred as a withholding tax payable on the royalty revenue earned from certain foreign royalties.
Reconciliation of Effective Tax Rate
The income tax amounts disclosed below are based on the tax positions of the Company for the periods presented. The Company is subject to Canadian federal and provincial tax for the estimated assessable profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 at a rate of 27%. The Company had no assessable profit in Canada for all periods disclosed.
The tax expense at statutory rates for the Company can be reconciled to the reported income for the years as follows:
| In $000s (except for tax rate) |
Year ended Dec. 31, 2025 $ |
Year ended Dec. 31, 2024 $ |
||||
| Net income (loss) before income tax expense | 29,602 | (874 | ) | |||

| Expected income tax expense (recovery) at the statutory rate | 7,993 | (236 | ) | |||
| Withholding taxes on royalty revenue | 408 | 372 | ||||
| Non-deductible expenses | 621 | 1,693 | ||||
| Recognition of temporary differences | 269 | (104 | ) | |||
| Change in unrecognized tax assets | (21 | ) | (151 | ) | ||
| Total income tax expense | 9,270 | 1,574 |
Deferred Income Taxes
The following table summarizes the composition of the Company's deferred tax liabilities:
| In $000s | Year ended Dec. 31, 2025 $ |
Year ended Dec. 31, 2024 $ |
||||
| Greenstone gold interest | (13,977 | ) | (5,101 | ) | ||
| Royalty, stream and other interests | (4,961 | ) | (1,291 | ) | ||
| Financing costs and other | 2,401 | 764 | ||||
| Non-capital losses | 6,365 | 4,166 | ||||
| Total recognized net deferred tax liabilities | (10,172 | ) | (1,462 | ) |
As at December 31, 2025, the Company has deductible Canadian non-capital tax losses of $23.6 million that expire between 2042 to 2045.
| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 25 |
The significant components of the Company's unrecognized deferred tax assets are as follows:
| In $000s | Year ended Dec. 31, 2025 $ |
Year ended Dec. 31, 2024 $ |
||||
| Investments and other | 13 | 58 | ||||
| Capital losses | 323 | 257 | ||||
| Non-capital losses | 38 | 38 | ||||
| Total unrecognized deferred income tax assets | 374 | 353 |
In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets other than deferred tax assets resulting from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that do not affect accounting or taxable profit, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Tax attributes are subject to revision and potential adjustment by tax authorities.
12. Related Party Transactions
Related parties are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, either directly or indirectly. Related parties of the Company include the members of the Board of Directors, officers of the Company, close family members of these individuals, and any companies controlled by these individuals.
Sandstorm
Sandstorm was a related party of the Company as a result of it having significant influence through its share ownership in the Company and the ability to nominate for election a representative to the board of directors of the Company.
The Company had a convertible note outstanding with Sandstorm which was fully converted during the year ended December 31, 2024, leaving a remaining balance of nil at December 31, 2025.
On October 20, 2025, Sandstorm was acquired by Royal Gold Inc. ("Royal Gold") and Royal Gold became a related party through its acquired share ownership in the Company. Royal Gold subsequently sold its shares in Versamet to Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V. ("Tether") and Nemesia S.à.r.l ("Nemesia"), a company controlled by trusts of the Lundin family, and Royal Gold ceased to be a related party.
The Company entered a License agreement with Sandstorm for C$20,000 per month for rent and other shared office costs for total costs of C$0.2 million for the period between January 1, 2025 and October 20, 2025, when Royal Gold ceased to be a related party.
Equinox
Effective June 28, 2022, Equinox was considered to be a related party of the Company as a result of its share ownership in Versamet. Effective June 5, 2024, Equinox's share ownership percentage was reduced, and it was determined that it no longer had significant influence over the Company and accordingly effective June 5, 2024 is no longer considered to be a related party of Versamet.
The Company entered into the Greenstone gold interest with Equinox during the year ended December 31, 2023 (note 4).
B2Gold
Effective June 5, 2024, B2Gold was considered to be a related party of the Company as a result of Versamet being an associate of this entity (as a result of their share ownership in the Company) and the ability of B2Gold to nominate a representative to the board of directors of the Company.

15. Financial Instruments
As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, investments, the Greenstone gold interest, trade and other payables and the Credit Facilities. The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables as financial assets held at amortized cost; the Company holds its investments at FVTOCI. The Company classifies trade and other payables and the Credit Facilities as other financial liabilities held at amortized cost. The Greenstone gold interest is carried at FVTPL.
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are below:
Level 1 - fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - fair values based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - fair values based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables, approximate their carrying values at December 31, 2025 and 2024, due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company's Credit Facilities, which is measured using Level 2 inputs, approximates its carrying value due to the nature of its market-based rate of interest. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The risk exposure arising from these financial instruments is summarized as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is limited to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Company's trade and other receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Versamet's royalty, stream and other assets portfolio. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company monitors its financial assets and holds its cash with a highly rated Canadian financial institution.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to have in place a planning and budgeting process to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due in the normal course of operations. In assessing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account its cash and expected income from royalties, stream and the Greenstone gold interest.
The following table shows the Company's contractual obligations as they fall due as at December 31, 2025 and total at December 31, 2024:

| Versamet Royalties | Financial Statements | 31 |
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as commodity price risk, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings or financial instruments.
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Commodity prices can be subject to volatile price movements, which can be material and can occur over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the Company's control.
Financial instruments that impact net income and total comprehensive income of the Company due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, investments, and trade and other payables denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the Company's Canadian dollar monetary assets and monetary liabilities as at December 31, 2025, a 10% increase or decrease in the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar would have an approximate impact of $0.1 million on net income and $0.1 million on total comprehensive income as at December 31, 2025.
The Company is exposed to commodity price movements as a result of the Greenstone gold interest (note 4). The Company holds the Greenstone gold interest at FVTPL. The fair value is calculated using a series of inputs into a discounted cash flow including the gold price. A 10% increase or decrease in the gold price used in the valuation as at December 31, 2025 would increase or decrease net income and total comprehensive income by $7.6 million.
16. Capital Management
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, based on the funds available to the Company, to support its' activities, continue as a going concern and maximize its return to stakeholders. The Company considers capital to be all accounts in equity and all borrowings of the Company. The Company is subject to certain covenants under the Credit Facilities (note 7); at December 31, 2025 the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of management to maintain an appropriate liquidity profile to allow management to execute on its strategic plan. Additional funds may be required to finance the Company's operations in the future.
17. Subsequent events
On January 2, 2026, the Company granted 185,200 RSUs to officers, employees, and consultants which vest in 3 equal tranches on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the grant. On January 2, 2026, the Company granted 50,000 RSUs to directors which vested on February 2, 2026.
On February 9, 2026, the Company completed a bought deal public offering (the "Offering"), pursuant to which the Company sold 10,300,000 common shares, at a price of C$13.75 per common share for gross proceeds of C$141.6 million. The Company paid the underwriters a cash fee of 5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering. Concurrently, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement with Tether Investments S.A. de C.V. ("Tether Investments"), to which the Company sold 1,575,712 common shares at a price of C$13.75 for proceeds of C$21.7 million, pursuant to the exercise of Tether Investment's participation rights in the Offering.
The Company repaid $126.0 million on amounts drawn on the Company's Credit Facilities (note 7) from proceeds from the Offering and private placement and cash on hand.
On March 4, 2026, the Company amended its credit facility agreement to upsize the RCF to $200.0 million with a $25.0 million accordion feature and retire the TL, which was fully repaid. The interest rates and standby fees on the Upsized RCF remain unchanged from those under the Credit Facilities agreement (note 7). The Upsized RCF matures on March 4, 2029.
On March 5, 2026, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "VMET".

1. Introduction
This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of Versamet Royalties Corporation. ("Versamet" or the "Company") has been prepared by management as of March 12, 2026, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and related notes thereto which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. Unless otherwise specified, all financial information in this MD&A has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. All dollar amounts herein are expressed in U.S. dollars ("USD"), the Company's functional currency, unless stated. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars.
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described under "Other risk factors" and "Cautionary note on forward-looking statements" in this MD&A.
The head office, principal address and registered office of Versamet is located at Suite 3200, 733 Seymour St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 0S6.
2. Overview and description of the business
Versamet is a precious metals focused royalty and streaming company with a global portfolio of royalty and streaming assets. The Company is focused on building a diverse portfolio of royalty, streaming and other interests, and to date, has built a portfolio of 28 mining royalties and streams, ranging from those which are currently under exploration through to those which are in production and which are already cash-generating for Versamet.
The Company further expects cash flow to grow over time through exposure (via its royalty, stream and other interests) to potential exploration success, throughput expansions, mine life extensions and new mine builds. Through the process of building a diverse portfolio of royalty, stream and other interests, management of Versamet believes it is maximizing upside potential to strengthening metal prices and resource growth, while minimizing downside risk.
Versamet's current royalties and streams are detailed further below under "5. Summary of royalty, stream and other interests owned by Versamet". The Company is continually assessing potential opportunities to grow its portfolio of assets through acquisition opportunities, and in doing so is supported by its largest shareholders, B2Gold Corp. (~29%), Equinox Gold Corp. ("Equinox") (~11%), Tether (~13%) and the Lundin family (~9%).
3. Outlook
Versamet expects1 2026 attributable GEOs2 to be between 20,000 to 23,000 at an average cash cost margin2 of approximately 93%, with approximately 85% of expected revenue derived from gold and silver. 2026 expected GEOs would represent another record for the Company and more than a 100% year-over-year increase. 2026 GEOs are calculated using consensus prices and based on public forecasts from operators and the Company's internal estimates.

5. Summary of royalty, stream and other interests owned by Versamet
As of the date of this MD&A, Versamet currently owns 28 royalties and streams, of which seven are currently cash-generating for Versamet and an additional one is expected to be cash-flowing in early 2026. A description of the royalties, streams and other interests of Versamet is included below. Versamet does not conduct mining operations on the properties in which it holds a royalty, stream or other interest, and as such it is not required to contribute to capital costs, exploration costs, environmental costs or other operating costs on those properties. Management of Versamet believes diversification of our royalties and streams, both in terms of project, metal type and jurisdiction will be key in the Company's success as it is well positioned to take advantage of strengthening metals prices while minimizing downside risk.

2. In January 2020, the IASB published narrow scope amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements. The narrow scope amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or noncurrent, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendments were effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the narrow scope amendments on January 1, 2024. These amendments resulted in the Company recognizing the Beedie Convertible Loan as a current liability and a portion of the Sandstorm Convertible Note as a current liability as at December 31, 2023.
| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 9 |
The Company's revenue and earnings reflect the results of the Company's producing royalties, streams and Greenstone gold interest. Revenue and earnings have continued to increase since 2023 as a result of an increase in producing assets in the Company's portfolio and commodity prices. The increase in total assets is reflective of acquisitions of royalty and stream interests which were funded through issuance of common shares of the Company and drawdowns on the Credit Facilities, resulting in an associated increase in non-current financial liabilities in 2025.

1. Sum of all the quarters may not add up to the annual total due to rounding.
2. See "11. Non-IFRS measures".
The net loss in Q1 2024 was driven by higher interest charges in this quarter due to a higher balance outstanding on the RCF at this point ($12.5 million repaid between March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025), and a higher share-based compensation expense as a result of short-term incentive payments being issued in share-based compensation during Q1 2024 as the Company looked to preserve cash. The net loss and EBITDA in Q4 2024 was driven by an impairment charge of $8.4 million in relation to the Mercedes royalty asset.
As a result of the transaction with B2Gold which closed in two tranches: June 5, 2024 and August 13, 2024, in which the Company acquired a portfolio of royalty assets in return for common shares, the total asset balance and the weighted average common shares balance increased in Q2 2024 and again in Q3 2024. Long term liabilities reduced and weighted average shares outstanding increased during Q2 2024 and again in Q3 2024 as: (i) in conjunction with the first tranche of the transaction closing in June 2024, Sandstorm converted the remaining balance on their convertible note into common shares, and (ii) in conjunction with the second tranche of the transaction closing in August 2024, B2Gold subscribed for $7.5 million in common shares, the proceeds of which, along with $1.2 million of the Company's cash balance, was used to pay down $8.7 million of the RCF.
| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 10 |
Revenues increased in Q2 2025 due to sales from the producing Kolpa copper stream, which was purchased in Q2 2025, and royalty revenue from the Blackwater mine, which declared commercial production on May 1, 2025.
Total assets and liabilities increased in Q2 2025 due to the Kolpa copper stream acquisition which was funded by drawdown on the RCF. Funds from the RCF were also used to fully repay the Beedie Convertible Loan; the RCF is recognized as a long-term liability. As a result of prepaying the Beedie Convertible Loan, the Company recognized $2.4 million of non-recurring prepayment fees and $3.3 million of accelerated accretion in finance expense which negatively impacted net income in the period. The increase in finance expense was partially offset by a gain of $3.2 million in relation to the derecognition of the Beedie convertible debt derivative liability as a result of the repayment of the Beedie Convertible Loan.
Revenues and net income increased in Q3 2025 due to inaugural royalty revenue from the Kiaka and Santa Rita mines and ramp up at the Blackwater mine, in addition to higher average realized gold prices.
Total assets and long-term liabilities increased in Q3 2025 due to the acquisitions of the Silver Stream and Santa Rita royalty which were funded by a drawdown on the Company's Credit Facilities. The Company repaid $6.0 million of the amounts drawn on the RCF in Q4 2025.
Revenues and net income increased in Q4 2025 due to ramp up of mining operations at Kiaka, first full quarter of revenue from the Santa Rita royalty, inaugural delivery from the Silver Stream and higher realized commodity prices. Net income further increased due to $18.5 million fair value gain on the Company's Greenstone gold interest primarily driven by an increase in consensus gold prices.
7. Results of operations
Revenue
Total revenue of $18.4 million and $34.8 million during the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, were a record for the Company (2024: $3.2 million and $12.0 million). The significant increase is reflective of the increase in paying assets and higher realized commodity prices. Refer to the "5. Summary of royalty and other interests owned by Versamet" for commentary on producing assets.

The increase in costs of sales was primarily driven by the purchase price for silver and copper delivered under the Rosh Pinah and Kolpa streams which were acquired in 2025 and an increase in non-cash partial settlement of the Greenstone gold interest related to higher margins on gold sales as a result of a rising gold price period on period.
| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 11 |
The increase in depletion expense is reflective of additional producing streams and royalties compared to the prior corresponding periods.
Administrative expenses increased as the Company's administrative and corporate development processes evolve and grow to properly steward our expanded asset base. Notably, the Company's salaries expense increased due to higher headcount and increase in amounts accrued related to the Company's short term incentive plan in Q4 2025. The Company also incurred additional professional and listing fees related to the listing of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture in May 2025, graduation to the TSX in December 2025 and preparation for listing on the NASDAQ.
There were gains recognized on the Greenstone gold interest during all periods. The change in value is largely driven by the consensus gold price which have continued to increase over 2024 and 2025 (See "13. Significant estimates and judgments").
In Q4 2024, an impairment expense of $8.4 million was recorded on our Mercedes royalty due to operational challenges at the mine and a decrease in estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources. No impairment charge was recognized in 2025.

In Q2 2025, the Beedie Convertible Loan was fully repaid and the convertible debt derivative liability related to the conversion option was derecognized, resulting in a gain of $3.2 million.
The increase in finance and interest expense primarily relates to prepayment of the Beedie Convertible Loan and higher outstanding amounts on the Credit Facilities to fund stream and royalty acquisitions in 2025. As a result of the prepayment of the Beedie Convertible Loan, the Company recognized $3.3 million of finance expense due to the accelerated recording of the accretion expense and $2.4 million of non-recurring prepayment fees.
Foreign exchange movements are primarily related to the revaluing the Canadian denominated Beedie Convertible Loan (see "8. Liquidity and capital resources") into US dollars, the Company's functional currency. The weakening of the US dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar prior to repayment on April 30, 2025, lead to a foreign exchange loss, compared to a strengthening of the US dollar in the prior period. Foreign exchange movements subsequent to the repayment of the Beedie Convertible Loan are primarily related to revaluation of Canadian dollar cash on hand and working capital.
The Company recognized a tax expense of $6.4 million and $9.3 million during the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively (2024: $1.4 million recovery and $1.6 million expense). The current period tax expense is primarily driven by deferred taxes related to the increase in the value of the Greenstone gold interest during the period, resulting in a future income tax expense. The current tax expense in all periods relates to withholding taxes payable on royalty revenue earned from certain foreign royalties.

8. Liquidity and capital resources
As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $3.7 million. As of the date of this MD&A the Company has seven revenue-generating royalties and streams, which, together with the working capital of the Company provide sufficient cash for Versamet to cover all operating expenses, working capital requirements and debt repayments for at least 12 months from December 31, 2025.
Cash flows
Quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024:
During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company's cash balance increased by $1.2 million. This increase is primarily as a result of: inflows of $18.4 million in revenue, cash payments for metal delivered under streams included within cost of sales of $1.3 million and incurring $2.9 million in cash operating expenses. The Company saw an outflow of $4.2 million relating to working capital. The Company had a net inflow of $0.8 million related to a purchase price adjustment on Santa Rita royalty acquired in Q3 2025 which was collected in Q4 2025.

Debt
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
On September 24, 2025, the Company amended its credit facility agreement to increase its RCF to $100 million with a $25 million accordion feature and add a new $80 million term loan facility arranged by BMO, as lead arranger, and NBC (together the "Credit Facilities"). Amounts drawn on the Credit Facilities were subject to interest at SOFR plus 2.25% to 3.50% per annum, and the undrawn portion of the RCF was subject to a standby fee of 0.5063% to 0.7875% per annum, both of which are dependent on the Company's leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facilities agreement). The TL was repayable in quarterly instalments of $7.5 million commencing on March 31, 2026, with a final bullet payment of $20 million at maturity on March 31, 2028. The RCF matured on April 30, 2028.
On March 4, 2026, the Company further amended its credit facility agreement to increase its RCF to $200 million with a $25 million accordion feature and retired the TL, which was fully repaid. The interest rates and standby fees on the Upsized RCF remain unchanged from those under the Credit Facilities agreement. The Upsized RCF matures on March 4, 2029.
The Company had principal outstanding amounts of $171 million under the Credit Facilities at December 31, 2025 and $45 million under the Upsized RCF as of the date of this MD&A.
BEEDIE CONVERTIBLE LOAN
On October 31, 2023, Versamet entered into a $16.0 million (the C$22.2 million) convertible loan with Beedie Capital Investments Ltd ("Beedie Capital") (the "Beedie Convertible Loan"). The Beedie Convertible Loan was denominated in Canadian dollars, had a term of 5 years and was scheduled to mature on October 31, 2028. Interest on the Beedie Convertible Loan consisted of an 8% base interest rate and a 1.5% paid-in-kind ("PIK") rate, with the PIK rate reducing to 1.0% upon the public listing of the Company. The Company had the option to pay 25-50% of the base interest rate in common shares of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Amounts outstanding under the Beedie Convertible Loan could be converted into common shares of the Company, at the option of Beedie Capital, at a price of C$4.20 per common share. The Company had the option to prepay the Beedie Convertible Loan, subject to certain fees.
On April 30, 2025, the Company exercised its prepayment option and repaid and canceled the Beedie Convertible Loan. On repayment, Beedie Capital elected not to convert amounts outstanding into common shares of the Company. Consequently, the Company repaid the full amount of the loan and accrued interest outstanding amounts in cash which resulted in a derecognition of both the Beedie Convertible Loan and the Convertible debt derivative liability.

| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 14 |
The Company has no other liabilities other than those presented in the table above or discussed elsewhere in this MD&A and has no commitments for capital expenditures or contractual obligations. The Company intends to grow through the acquisition of additional royalties, streams and other interests, however, capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. The Company's growth and success may be dependent on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms.
9. Transactions with related parties
Related parties are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, either directly or indirectly. Related parties of the Company include the members of the Board of Directors, officers of the Company, close family members of these individuals, and any companies controlled by these individuals.
Sandstorm
Sandstorm was a related party of the Company as a result of it having significant influence through its share ownership in the Company and the ability to nominate for election a representative to the board of directors of the Company.
The Company had a convertible note outstanding with Sandstorm which was fully converted during the year ended December 31, 2024, leaving a remaining balance of nil at December 31, 2025.
On October 20, 2025, Sandstorm was acquired by Royal Gold Inc. ("Royal Gold") and Royal Gold became a related party through its acquired share ownership in the Company. Royal Gold subsequently sold its shares in Versamet to Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V. ("Tether") and Nemesia S.à.r.l ("Nemesia"), a company controlled by trusts of the Lundin family, and Royal Gold ceased to be a related party.
The Company entered a License agreement with Sandstorm for C$20,000 per month for rent and other shared office costs for total costs of C$0.2 million for the period between January 1, 2025 to when Royal Gold ceased to be a related party.
Equinox
Effective June 28, 2022, Equinox was considered to be a related party of the Company as a result of its share ownership in Versamet. Effective June 5, 2024, Equinox's share ownership percentage was reduced, and it was determined that it no longer had significant influence over the Company and accordingly, was no longer considered to be a related party of Versamet.
The Company entered into the Greenstone gold interest with Equinox during the year ended December 31, 2023.
B2Gold
Effective June 5, 2024, B2Gold is considered to be a related party of the Company as a result of Versamet being an associate of this entity (as a result of their share ownership in the Company) and the ability of B2Gold to nominate a representative to the board of directors of the Company.

Compensation of Key Management Personnel
Key management personnel include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. Versamet considers its Board of Directors, as well as the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") to be key management personnel. Compensation for key management personnel of the Company was as follows:
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's compensation cost for key management personnel was as follows:
| In $000s | Year ended Dec. 31, 2025 $ |
Year ended Dec. 31, 2024 $ |
||||
| Salaries and benefits | 2,005 | 850 | ||||
| Share-based compensation | 810 | 1,134 | ||||
| Total | 2,815 | 1,984 |
10. Outstanding share data
As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had 105,645,324 Common Shares outstanding, 2,944,657 stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of C$3.68, 1,223,964 outstanding restricted share units and 400,000 performance-based restricted share units. Of the total Common Shares issued, 395,914 are being held in escrow subject to certain milestones being met with respect to the El Pilar royalty asset; in the event such milestones are not met, these Common Shares are returned to Versamet.
11. Non-IFRS measures
This MD&A refers to certain non-IFRS measures, including (i) Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces, (ii) average cash cost per Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounce (iii) average cash cost margin (iv) cash flows from operating activities before working capital changes (v) cash flows from operating activities before working capital changes per share (vi) EBITDA and (vii) Adjusted EBITDA (the "Non-IFRS Measures"). The Non-IFRS measures are not standard measures under IFRS and the Company's method of calculating the Non-IFRS Measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, the Company's Non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. See below for a description of each non-IFRS measure and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure for the period.
Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces is calculated by converting the Company's royalty revenue and stream sales to a GEO basis by dividing the royalty revenue plus stream sales for a period by the average gold price based on the LBMA Gold Price PM Fix per ounce for the same respective period. Total Attributable GEOs sold includes the GEOs from the Company's royalty revenue and stream sales, plus the gold ounces sold from the Greenstone gold interest and Santa Rita royalty amounts received related to the period between the Effective Date and closing of the agreement, which have been treated as an adjustment to the purchase consideration for accounting. Management believes that adjusting for these amounts more accurately depicts GEOs attributable to the Company. The Company presents Total Attributable GEOs as it believes that this is useful information to allow investors to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis.

1. On September 24, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 2.75% net smelter return royalty on Atlantic Nickel's operating Santa Rita mine in Brazil. The Effective Date of the royalty under the agreement was July 1, 2025. The Company received $1.2 million of royalty related to the period between the Effective Date and closing of the agreement, which was treated as a purchase price adjustment and credited against the acquisition cost of the royalty for accounting purposes. The Company has included these royalty amounts in its calculation of GEOs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Santa Rita Adjustment").
Average cash cost per Attributable GEO is calculated by dividing the Company's cost of sales, excluding depletion and other non-cash cost of sales by the number of Attributable GEOs (described above). The Company presents average cash cost per Attributable GEO as it believes that this is useful information to allow investors to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis.
Average cash cost margin is calculated by dividing the difference between the Average realized gold price per ounce and the Average cash cost per Attributable GEO by the Average realized gold price per ounce. The Company presents average cash cost margin as it believes that this is useful information to allow investors to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis.

Cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes is calculated by adding back the decrease or subtracting the increase in changes in non-cash working capital (being trade and other receivables and prepaid assets and trade and other payables) to or from cash provided by (used in) operating activities. The Company presents cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital as it believes this presents a useful measure of the Company's ability to generate cash to cover operating expenses from its cash-flowing royalties.
Cash flows from operating activities before working capital changes per share is calculated by dividing the cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes by the weighted average number of Common Shares of the Company outstanding during the period. The Company presents cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital on a per share basis as it believes this presents a useful measure for the shareholders of the Company to evaluate the performance of the Company.

EBITDA refers to earnings (or loss) determined in accordance with IFRS, before finance and interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation (including depletion) and amortization. This measure is used by management and investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine the Company's ability to generate cash available for working capital requirements, investment expenditures and income taxes.
| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 18 |
Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA to exclude any non-cash cost of sales, impairment charges and gains/loss on assets and liabilities which are market-to-market each reporting period.

13. Significant estimates and judgments
The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
Significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
14. Financial instruments and capital management
As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, investments, the Greenstone gold interest, trade and other payables and the Credit Facilities. The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables as financial assets held at amortized cost; the Company holds its investments at FVTOCI. The Company classifies trade and other payables and the Credit Facilities as other financial liabilities held at amortized cost. The Greenstone gold interest is carried at FVTPL.
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are below:
Level 1 - fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - fair values based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - fair values based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
As at December 31, 2025:
| In $000s | Total $ |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) $ |

The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables, approximate their carrying values at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company's Credit Facilities, which is measured using Level 2 inputs, approximates its carrying value due to the nature of its market-based rate of interest. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period ended December 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.
The risk exposure arising from these financial instruments is summarized as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is limited to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Company's trade and other receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Versamet's royalty and other assets portfolio. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company monitors its financial assets and holds its cash with a highly rated Canadian financial institution.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to have in place a planning and budgeting process to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due in the normal course of operations. In assessing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account its cash and expected income from royalties and the Greenstone gold interest.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as commodity price risk, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings or financial instruments.
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Commodity prices can be subject to volatile price movements, which can be material and can occur over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the Company's control.
Financial instruments that impact net income and total comprehensive income of the Company due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, investments, and trade and other payables denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the Company's Canadian dollar monetary assets and monetary liabilities as at December 31, 2025, a 10% increase or decrease in the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar would have an approximate impact of $0.1 million on net income and $0.1 million on total comprehensive income as at December 31, 2025.
| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 21 |
The Company is exposed to commodity price movements as a result of the Greenstone interest. The Company holds the Greenstone gold interest at FVTPL. The fair value is calculated using a series of inputs into a discounted cash flow including the gold price. A 10% increase or decrease in the gold price used in the valuation as at December 31, 2025 would increase or decrease net income and total comprehensive income by $7.6 million.
Capital management
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, based on the funds available to the Company, to support its' activities, continue as a going concern and maximize its return to stakeholders. The Company considers capital to be all accounts in equity and all borrowings of the Company. The Company is subject to certain covenants under the Credit Facilities; at December 31, 2025 the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of management to maintain an appropriate liquidity profile to allow management to execute on its strategic plan. Additional funds may be required to finance the Company's operations in the future.
15. Other risk factors
The Company's business and future prospects are subject to significant risks. For details of these risks, please refer to the risk factors under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's final long form prospectus dated May 12, 2025 as filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
16. Internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures
Management has established processes to provide it with sufficient knowledge to support representations that it has exercised reasonable diligence to ensure that (i) the financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, as of the date of and for the periods presented by the financial statements, and (ii) the financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flow of the Company, as of the date of and for the periods presented.
Previously, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer filed Venture Issuer Basic Certificates with the Company's interim filings, as permitted under National Instrument 52‐109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52‐109"). Effective December 10, 2025, the Company became a non-venture issuer by virtue of its listing on the TSX. Accordingly, for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and pursuant to Section 4.5 of NI 52-109, the Company will file with its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2025 an annual certificate in Form 52-109F1 - IPO/RTO - Certification of Annual Filings Following an Initial Public Offering, Reverse Takeover or Becoming a Non-Venture Issuer. In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under NI 52-109, the certificate filed by the Company does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, as defined in NI 52‐109. In particular, the certifying officers of the Company do not make any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:
| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 22 |
(i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and
(ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in the corresponding certificate. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of an issuer to design and implement on a cost effective basis disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in the first financial period following the issuer becoming a non-venture issuer in the circumstances described in Section 4.5 of NI 52-109.

| Versamet Royalties | Management's Discussion & Analysis | 24 |
Except where otherwise stated, the disclosure in this MD&A relating to properties and operations in which Versamet holds a royalty, stream or other interest is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of these properties and information/data available in the public domain as at the date hereof, and none of this information has been independently verified by Versamet. Specifically, as a royalty or stream holder, Versamet has limited, if any, access to properties on which it holds royalties, streams or other interests in its asset portfolio. The Company may from time to time receive operating information from the owners and operators of the mining properties, which it is not permitted to disclose to the public. Versamet is dependent on, (i) the operators of the mining properties and their qualified persons to provide information to Versamet, or (ii) on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which the Company holds royalty, stream or other interests, and generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although the Company does 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. Some reported public information in respect of a mining property may relate to a larger property area than the area covered by Versamet's royalty or other interests. Versamet's royalty, stream or other interests may cover less than 100% of a specific mining property and may only apply to a portion of the publicly reported Mineral Reserves, Mineral Resources and or production from a mining property.

Asset Updates
Greenstone (1.26% Gold Stream)
Attributable production from Greenstone totaled 1,050 GEOs in Q4 2025. Higher mining and milling rates drove a meaningful increase in production to more than 70,000 ounces of gold, up 29% from the prior quarter. Versamet is entitled to monthly deliveries equal to the greater of 1.26% of produced gold or 350 ounces of gold. 4
| NASDAQ: VMET, TSX: VMET | 2 | versamet.com |
Kiaka (2.7% NSR)
Kiaka produced 62,287 ounces of gold in Q4, its first full quarter of operational phase reporting since completion of construction, sold 56,293 ounces of gold during the quarter, and held 15,468 ounces of unsold gold bullion at the end of the quarter, which Versamet expects to contribute to Q1 2026 GEOs. Open pit mining continued to ramp up well during Q4, delivering a 76% increase in mined ounces compared to Q3. The process plant continued to ramp up on schedule, increasing mill throughput by 25% and grade by 44% over the prior quarter, and achieving 92.9% metallurgical recovery. 5
Rosh Pinah (90% Silver Stream)
In Q4, the Company received its inaugural silver delivery from Rosh Pinah. In addition, final settlement of a concentrate shipment in Q3 2025 occurred in early January 2026, which will contribute to Versamet's Q1 2026 GEOs. On February 6, 2026, Appian Capital Advisory provided an update on Rosh Pinah, including the commissioning of the new paste fill plant, a critical component of the RP2.0 expansion project. RP2.0, which will nearly double the mine's processing throughput to 1.3 million tonnes per year, continues to advance on schedule, with overall construction progress now surpassing 85%. Completion is expected in Q3 2026, with ramp-up commencing shortly thereafter. In parallel, an extensive diamond drilling program is underway aimed at expanding its mineral resource base and extending the mine life. The program includes more than 80,000 metres of drilling through 2027, encompassing infill, step-out and regional exploration drilling. Results to date have been encouraging, reinforcing the opportunity for further resource expansion and long-term value creation beyond RP2.0. 6
Kolpa (95.8% Copper Stream)
On January 16, 2026, Endeavour Silver ("Endeavour") provided its guidance for 2026. Plant throughput at Kolpa is forecast to range from 2,300 to 2,500 tonnes per day, and copper production is expected to be between 650 and 750 tonnes. Endeavour is investing $26.5 million on capital projects at Kolpa in 2026, including $2.7 million for 3.5 kilometers of mine development in the Bienaventurada and Poderosa areas. A further $7.1 million will be for mine infrastructure, equipment, and building improvements. Growth expenditures of $16.7 million will support a plant expansion to increase capacity to 2,500 tonnes per day, including ongoing installation of a new ball mill, upgrades to flotation cells and expansion of the tailings storage facility. Management estimates the plant expansion to be completed in Q1 2026. 7
Toega (2.7% NSR)
On January 28, 2026, West African Resources provided an update on the Toega deposit. Haul road construction is well advanced and remains on schedule to enable ore delivery to the Sanbrado processing plant in early Q3 2026. Pre-stripping of the open pit commenced during the quarter with material movement expected to ramp up to steady state production by the end of Q1 2026. 8
Blackwater (0.21% NSR)
Gold production at Blackwater was 68,480 ounces during Q4 2025 and 192,808 ounces for the full year 2025. During Q4 2025, milling operations continued to perform above the design rate and the company continues to target mill throughput at 10% above design capacity on a sustainable basis in advance of commissioning the Phase 1A expansion. Construction of the Phase 1A expansion continues to advance on schedule and is expected to increase processing capacity to 8 Mtpa by end of Q4 2026. The second phase of the expansion is expected to further increase processing capacity to 21 Mtpa by the end of 2028, which will increase gold production to more than 500,000 ounces per year. 9

Endnotes
1. Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces is calculated by converting the Company's royalty revenue and stream sales to a GEO basis by dividing the royalty revenue plus stream sales for a period by the average gold price based on the LBMA Gold Price PM Fix per ounce for the same respective period. Total Attributable GEOs sold includes the GEOs from the Company's royalty revenue and stream sales, plus the gold ounces sold from the Greenstone gold interest and Santa Rita royalty amounts received related to the period between the Effective Date and closing of the agreement, which have been treated as an adjustment to the purchase consideration for accounting (the "Santa Rita Adjustment"). Management believes that adjusting for these amounts more accurately depicts GEOs attributable to the Company. The Company presents Total Attributable GEOs as it believes that this is useful information to allow investors to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis.

2. Cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes is calculated by adding back the decrease or subtracting the increase in changes in non-cash working capital (being trade and other receivables and prepaid assets and trade and other payables) to or from cash provided by (used in) operating activities. The Company presents cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital as it believes this presents a useful measure of the Company's ability to generate cash to cover operating expenses from its cash-flowing royalties.

3. EBITDA refers to earnings (or loss) determined in accordance with IFRS, before finance and interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation (including depletion) and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA to exclude any non-cash cost of sales, impairment charges and gains/loss on assets and liabilities which are market-to-market each reporting period. This measure is used by management and investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine the Company's ability to generate cash available for working capital requirements, investment expenditures and income taxes.
