Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus, commented:

"Elemental Altus has delivered another outstanding quarter, with adjusted revenue more than doubling to US$10.5 million, adjusted EBITDA up 155% to US$8.8 million, and GEOs increasing 73% year-on-year. These results reflect the strength of our royalty portfolio, with stand-out contributions from Karlawinda, Korali-Sud, and Bonikro.

Our financial position has never been stronger, with over US$27 million in cash at quarter end, a fully undrawn US$50 million credit facility, and record free cash flow generation. In addition, the recent regulatory approval for the Karlawinda Expansion Project, targeting 150,000 ounces per year, will add a significant long-term boost to our uncapped 2% NSR royalty.

With strong momentum across our assets, increasing gold price and the capacity to pursue new accretive deals, we are well placed to build on this record first half and deliver another exceptional year. "

Outlook

• Elemental Altus remains on track to meet record guidance of 11,600 to 13,200 GEOs, translating to increased record adjusted revenue of US$35 million to US$40 million, based on a gold price of US$3,000/oz. Production is anticipated to be weighted towards the first half of the year, driven by first gold sales from the Korali-Sud royalty
• This guidance represents a 38% increase in GEOs and 74% year-on-year increase in adjusted revenue at the mid-point of guidance, with full exposure to higher gold prices
• Elemental Altus has a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") in place to purchase up to 12,288,129 common shares in the capital of the Company

• Capricorn produced 117,076 ounces of gold in the 12 months ending June 2025, reaching the upper end of the Company's original 110,000 to 120,000 ounce production guidance
• Capricorn announced regulatory approval of a major expansion study for Karlawinda, targeting a throughput increase of between 2.0 and 2.5 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa"), an approximate 50% increase in throughput on the current 4.5 Mtpa, targeting annual production of 150,000 ounces
• Elemental Altus' uncapped 2% NSR royalty will provide up to approximately 3,000 GEOs annually based on the higher 150,000 ounce per annum production rate
• Karlawinda's mine life remains 10 years with significant further potential to increase Reserves and Resources

Caserones

• In Q2 2025, the Company accrued adjusted royalty revenue of $1.4 million (Q2 2024: $1.4 million), based on reported sales of 29,290 tonnes of copper
• Copper production guidance remains at 115-125kt for 2025. Higher copper head grades anticipated in the second half of the year, together with strong cathode production are expected to sustain 2025 annual production guidance
• During Q2 2025, exploration drilling commenced at the Caserones pit targeting deep high-grade copper breccias, with additional drilling completed at Angelica, targeting copper sulphides beneath the existing Angelica oxide deposit

Korali-Sud (Diba)

• Q2 2025 gold sales from Korali-Sud was 26,783 ounces (Q2 2024: nil)
• 2025 revenue is expected to be heavily weighted towards H1 2025 with production from Korali-Sud exceeding expectations for the quarter
• Importantly, approval for co-processing of Korali-Sud and Sadiola ore was received during the quarter and started on May 6, 2025
• Approximately 120,000 ounces of attributable production from the Diba deposit are remaining at the higher 3% NSR royalty rate

Bonikro

• Royalty attributable sales in Q2 2025 was 23,469 ounces (Q2 2024: 17,753 ounces) due to the majority of production being sourced from royalty linked areas
• Bonikro remained on plan in the quarter, benefiting from mine sequencing into higher-grade zones and stable plant performance
• Stripping at Pushback 5 is expected to expose higher-grade materials in H2 2025, 2026, and 2027

Wahgnion

• The Wahgnion mine is currently undergoing an external audit, during which royalty payments to royalty holders have been temporarily paused and the Q1 and Q2 2025 royalty statement has not yet been provided
• The Company received all royalty statements from Wahgnion management for the 2024 financial year and received payment for the first two quarters of 2024, but has not yet received payment for the second half of 2024. In addition, the Company has not yet received the royalty statements for Q1 and Q2 2025 and therefore, the Company has not yet received the necessary information to support the recognition of royalty income for Q1 and Q2 2025. Royalty revenue earned in Q1 and Q2 2025 will be recognised in a subsequent reporting period once the royalty statement is received. As at June 30, 2025, the accrued income balance includes $1.1 million in post-tax royalty receivables from Wahgnion

• The Company expects to receive US$2 million in H2 2025 from Allied Gold Corp as part of the milestones achieved within the Korali-Sud royalty in H1 2025. A further up to US$2 million in milestone payments is expected from future production

Notes

1. Non-IFRS Measures
The Company has included certain performance measures which are non-IFRS and are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standard meaning under IFRS and other companies may calculate measures differently.

Royalty revenue is received at zero cost. Distributions from associates related to Elemental Altus' effective royalty on Caserones are received net of Chilean taxes and have no other costs.

Adjusted Revenue and cash flow from operating activities

Adjusted revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as including gross royalty revenue from associated entities holding royalty interests related to Elemental Altus' effective royalty on the Caserones copper mine. Management uses adjusted revenue to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS such as revenue, investors may use adjusted revenue to evaluate the results of the underlying business, particularly as the adjusted revenue may not typically be included in operating results. Management believes that adjusted revenue is a useful measure of the Company performance because it adjusts for items which management believes reflect the Company's core operating results from period to period. Adjusted revenue is intended to provide additional information to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. It does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Adjusted depletion, adjusted tax expense and adjusted cash flow from operating activities are non-IFRS measures which include depletion, tax and dividends from the Caserones royalty asset in line with the recognition of adjusted revenue as described above.

Gold Equivalent Ounces

Elemental Altus' adjusted royalty, streaming, and other revenue is converted to an attributable gold equivalent ounce, or GEO, basis by dividing the royalty and other revenue from associates in a period by the average gold price for the same respective period, plus the net gold ounces received in the period from streaming investments. The presentation of this non-IFRS measure is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently. The production forecast was derived using information that is available in the public domain as at the date hereof, which included guidance and estimates prepared and issued by management of the operators of the mining operations in which Elemental Altus holds an interest. The production forecast is sensitive to the performance and operating status of the underlying mines. None of the information has been independently verified by Elemental Altus and may be subject to uncertainty. There can be no assurance that such information is complete or accurate.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of certain other income/expenses and unusual non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is comprised of earnings before interest, taxes, depletion, including depletion and taxes relating to share of profit from associate, and share-based compensation. Management believes that this is a useful measure of the Company's performance because it adjusts for items which may not relate to underlying operating performance of the Company and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
