Key Producing Assets
Antamina Silver Stream and Royalty
HORIZON COPPER CORP.
The Company has a silver stream and a net profits interest (“NPI” or “Antamina NPI”) on production from the Antamina open-pit copper mine located in the Andes Mountain range of Peru, 270 kilometres north of Lima (“Antamina” or the “Antamina Mine”). The silver Stream and NPI is paid by Horizon Copper Corp. (“Horizon Copper”) which owns a 1.66% NPI on production from Antamina. The silver stream entitles the Company to receive silver ounces equal to 1.66% of all silver production from the Antamina mine with ongoing payments equal to 2.5% of the silver spot price. The NPI is calculated as one third of Horizon Copper's 1.66% Antamina NPI, after deducting the cost to Horizon of delivering silver ounces under the Antamina silver stream. The mine is operated by Compañia Minera Antamina S.A., a top-tier operator jointly owned by the subsidiaries of major stakeholders BHP Billiton plc (33.75%), Glencore plc (33.75%), Teck Resources Limited (22.5%) (“Teck”), and Mitsubishi Corporation (10%). Antamina is the world’s third-largest copper mine on a copper equivalent (“CuEq”) basis, producing approximately 560,000 CuEq tonnes per annum. The asset operates in the first cost quartile of copper mines and has been in consistent production since 2001, including a throughput expansion completed in 2012 to the mine’s current operating capacity of 145,000 tonnes per day. In addition to copper, Antamina is also a significant zinc and silver producer.
Antamina contains Mineral Resources that support a multi-decade mine life producing high-grade copper. The mine’s Measured and Indicated Resources, exclusive of Proven and Probable Reserves, totaled 673 million tonnes at 0.83% copper, 0.51% zinc, 11.4 grams per tonne silver, and 0.016% molybdenum. Mineral Reserves totaled 226 million tonnes at 0.94% copper, 0.56% zinc, 10.7 grams per tonne silver, and 0.024% molybdenum, which are constrained by current tailings capacity. Both Mineral Reserves and Resources are effective as of December 31, 2023 (cut-off grade unavailable).
In February 2024, Teck reported that the Antamina Mine had received approval of the Modification of Environmental Impact Assessment (the “MEIA”). The MEIA allows for an investment of approximately $2 billion over the next eight years, which will extend operations at Antamina through to 2036. The MEIA extends the permitted pit depth by 150 metres and will allow Antamina to optimize existing mining components within its current operation while also expanding the footprint of the open pit and expansion and optimization of tailings facilities. The MEIA also considers processing capacity of up to 208,000 tonnes per day which would be an approximate 40% increase from current levels. Reserves are expected to be expanded once additional tailings capacity is confirmed. Sandstorm expects that significant Mineral Resource conversion is likely as Antamina completes several Pre-Feasibility level tailings studies which are focused on potential long-term solutions.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Vale Royalties
VALE S.A.
Sandstorm holds a diverse package of royalties on several of Vale S.A.’s (“Vale”) assets located in Brazil. These royalties provide holders with life of mine net sales royalties on seven producing mines and several exploration properties covering a total area of interest of 15,097 square kilometres (the “Vale Royalties” or the “Vale Royalty Package”). Sandstorm’s attributable portion of the Vale Royalty Package is approximately as follows:
Copper and Gold
0.03% net sales royalty on the Sossego copper-gold mine; and
0.06% net sales royalty on copper and gold and a 0.03% net sales royalty on all other minerals from certain assets.
Iron Ore
0.05% net sales royalty on iron ore sales from the Northern System; and
0.05% net sales royalty on iron ore sales from a portion of the Southeastern System (subject to certain thresholds described below).
Other
0.03% of net sales proceeds in the event of an underlying asset sale on certain assets.
Vale is one of the world’s largest low-cost iron mining companies, contributing approximately 13.5% of global iron ore supply. Vale’s iron ore production is in the first quartile of the cost curve and the Northern and Southeastern Systems have reserve weighted mine lives of 30 years.
NORTHERN SYSTEM
The Northern System is comprised of three mining complexes: Serra Sul, Serra Norte, and Serra Leste located in the Carajas District. Vale is currently executing plans to increase the Northern System’s production capacity to a long-term target of 240 Mt per annum, which would be achieved via the approved expansion at Serra Sul and other growth projects. In addition, Vale continues to study a number of additional growth projects at the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility Study level which could enhance production from Sandstorm’s royalty grounds.
Mining commenced in 1984 at Serra Norte and, based on current Mineral Reserves, is currently expected to run through the late-2030s. Mining at Serra Leste began in 2014 and is expected to continue into 2049; Serra Sul began production in 2016 and is expected to produce into the late 2050s.

The Company has a zinc Stream to purchase 1.0% of the zinc processed at the Canadian Electrolytic Zinc (“CEZinc”) smelter located in Quebec, Canada until the later of June 30, 2030 or delivery of 68 million pounds zinc, for ongoing per pound cash payments of 20% of the average quarterly spot price of zinc. The smelter is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glencore Canada Corporation (“GCC”).
CEZinc is situated on the St. Lawrence Seaway along major transportation networks that connect the processing facility to its end markets in the United States and Canada. In 2022, GCC completed a cellhouse maintenance shutdown of the smelter to proactively repair numerous cells and conduct a cell-by-cell integrity assessment, with these efforts expected to stabilize near-term operating conditions. Operations restarted in December 2022; however, given the timelines between production and Stream deliveries, this shutdown had an impact on zinc deliveries under the Stream in the second quarter of 2023. Longer-term, GCC is evaluating opportunities to replace all cells in the cellhouse to further stabilize and improve operating conditions.

Development Assets
Hod Maden Gold Stream
HORIZON COPPER CORP.
The Company has a Gold Stream, payable by Horizon Copper, on the Hod Maden gold-copper project, which is located in Artvin Province, northeastern Türkiye (the “Hod Maden Project” or “Hod Maden”). In the second quarter of 2023, SSR Mining Inc. (“SSR Mining”) reached an agreement with Lidya Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (“Lidya”) to acquire up to a 40% operating interest in Hod Maden and assume operational control of the project. Assuming the terms of the earn-in milestone payments of the agreement are fulfilled, SSR Mining will hold a 40% operating interest in Hod Maden, with the remaining passive ownership held by Lidya (30%) and Horizon Copper (30%).
Under the terms of the Hod Maden Gold Stream, Sandstorm has agreed to purchase 20% of all gold produced from Hod Maden (on a 100% basis) for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 50% of the spot price of gold until 405,000 ounces of gold are delivered. Sandstorm will then receive 12% of the gold produced for the life of the mine for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 60% of the spot price of gold. In addition to the Gold Stream, Sandstorm also holds a 2% NSR on Hod Maden payable by the entity that holds the mining license.
In November 2021, a Feasibility Study was released. The results demonstrate a Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve of 2.45 million ounces of gold and 129,000 tonnes of copper being mined over a 13-year mine life (8.7 million tonnes at 8.8 grams per tonne gold and 1.5% copper or 11.1 grams per tonne gold equivalent using $82 per tonne NSR based cut-off grades). The study projects a pre-tax net present value (5% discount rate) of $1.3 billion and an internal rate of return of 41%. For more information refer to www.horizoncopper.com.
With the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment, the release of the Feasibility Study and the receipt of all key permits (with the award of the final permit from the Ministry of Forestry in 2022), Hod Maden moved into the next stage of development including securing project debt financing and

initiating long-lead construction items. In 2024, early-works construction activities have continued at Hod Maden focused on site access and earthworks, power supply construction and the land expropriation process.
In February 2024, following an incident at one of its assets, SSR Mining retracted all previously issued guidance for its Turkish assets, including the Hod Maden Project. While SSR Mining focuses on remediation efforts, Sandstorm currently estimates a one-year delay to commercial production.
Platreef Gold StreamIVANHOE MINES LTD.
The Company has a Gold Stream on the Platreef project located in South Africa (“Platreef”), which is majority owned and operated by Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (“Ivanhoe”). Under the terms of the Stream, Sandstorm is entitled to purchase 37.5% of payable gold produced from Platreef until 131,250 gold ounces have been delivered, 30% until an aggregate of 256,980 ounces of gold are delivered and 1.875% thereafter, as long as certain conditions are met. The Gold Stream will be based on all recovered gold from Platreef, subject to a fixed payability factor of 80% and is subject to ongoing cash payments of $100 per ounce of gold until 256,980 ounces have been delivered, and then 80% of the spot price of gold for each ounce delivered thereafter.
Platreef is a development stage project that contains an underground deposit of thick, high-grade platinum group elements and nickel-copper-gold mineralization. Ivanhoe recently announced the on-schedule completion of the Phase 1 concentrator, which entered cold commissioning in July 2024. In-line with Platreef’s optimized development plan schedule described below, the concentrator will be placed on care and maintenance until the second half of 2025 as Shaft #1 prioritizes waste hoisting to support and accelerate the development of Phase 2.
Ivanhoe recently announced an optimized development plan for Platreef which de-risks initial production and accelerates the asset’s Phase 2 expansion by up to three years. Under the revised development plan, Ivanhoe will re-purpose ventilation Shaft 3 for hoisting at a rate of 3 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) and increase the size of the initial Phase 2 concentrator to 3.3 Mtpa (previously 2.2 Mtpa), bringing site-wide processing capacity to 4.0 Mtpa. Shaft 3 is expected to be ready for hoisting in the first quarter of 2026. An updated Feasibility Study, accelerating and optimizing the development of Phase 2, is expected to be completed in 2025.
In conjunction with the advancement of Shaft 2 and the updated Feasibility Study, Ivanhoe is undertaking a Preliminary Economic Assessment for Phase 3 expansion, also expected to be completed in 2025. Phase 3 would increase total processing capacity at Platreef to approximately 10.0 Mtpa and is anticipated to rank Platreef as one of the world’s largest and lowest-cost platinum-group metals, nickel, copper, and gold operations. The processing capacity of the Phase 3 expansion will be 12.5 times greater than that of Phase 1 and 2.5 times greater than the optimized Phase 2 expansion.

MARA Royalty and Stream OptionGLENCORE PLC
The Company has a 0.25% NSR on the MARA porphyry copper-gold project (“MARA”) which is located in Catamarca province, Argentina and is wholly owned by a subsidiary of Glencore plc. In addition, Sandstorm holds a Gold Stream conversion option.
Under the terms of the option agreement, Sandstorm may elect to make an advance payment up to a maximum of $225 million (“Advance Payment”) to convert its existing 0.25% NSR into a Gold Stream (“Stream Conversion”). If Sandstorm elects to pay the Advance Payment, the Company will have the right to purchase an amount of gold equal to 20% of the life of mine gold produced from MARA for ongoing payments for each ounce of gold received, equal to 30% of the spot price per ounce of gold.
To exercise its option, Sandstorm is required to elect the Stream Conversion only once the respective subsidiary of Glencore plc has made a board-approved construction decision at MARA. The Advance Payment is payable in quarterly tranches throughout the construction period in proportion to the total project spending. In addition, if Sandstorm wishes to syndicate the Gold Stream to a third party, it has the right to transfer any and all of its rights and obligations, under certain conditions. The Gold Stream option is structured between Sandstorm’s Canadian parent company and a counterparty entity outside of Argentina.
MARA is a brownfield copper-gold project that ranks as one of the lowest capital-intensive copper projects in the world, owing to the existing Alumbrera processing plant and associated infrastructure located nearby. MARA is expected to be in the top 25 global copper producers when operational and is supported by Indicated Resources totalling 1,020 million tonnes with the following metal grades: 0.51% copper, 0.20 grams per tonne gold grade, and 3.36 grams per tonne silver grade. The Indicated Resources are reported within an economic pit shell for open pit mining. For more information refer to www.glencore.com.
In September 2023, Glencore plc completed the acquisition of the remaining 56.25% interest that it did not previously own in the MARA project. In early 2024, Glencore plc reported that it had earmarked an aggregate of $400 million over the next three years for two growth projects located in Argentina, including their wholly-owned MARA project. The investment is expected to continue the development, feasibility studies, and early works of their Argentinian assets.

Evolve Transaction
In 2023, the Company announced that it was undertaking a process to monetize over $40 million of non-core assets by the end of 2024, with the proceeds from any sales directed to debt repayments. Accordingly, on May 2, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Evolve Strategic Element Royalties Ltd. (“Evolve”) to sell eight non-core, non-precious metals royalties for closing cash proceeds of $21 million, plus the retention of the next $10 million in royalty proceeds from the Company's 2.5–5.0% NSR on a portion of the Copper Mountain mine in British Columbia ("Copper Mountain"). In addition to the Copper Mountain royalty, the portfolio included a 0.5% NPI on Teck Resources Ltd.’s Highland Valley Copper project (“HVC”) and a 1.5% NSR on Green Technology Metals Limited’s (“Green Technology”) Seymour Lake lithium development project ("Seymour Lake").
On May 13, 2024, the Company closed the sale of all royalties without preemptive rights (including Copper Mountain and HVC) and received cash proceeds of $15.4 million from Evolve. The remaining $5.6 million in cash, covering royalties with preemptive rights including Seymour Lake, was subject to certain closing conditions. During the closing period, Green Technology asserted that it was not subject to certain obligations underlying the royalty agreement for Seymour Lake. Consequently, the Company was not able to close this portion of the transaction by the agreed-upon outside date. Sandstorm has initiated arbitration proceedings to seek recourse from Green Technology and is actively pursuing its rights under the agreement.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 2023
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net income and cash flows from operating activities were $5.8 million and $32.5 million, respectively, compared with net income of $0.0 million and cash flows from operating activities of $31.9 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase is due to a combination of factors including:
A $3.4 million increase in revenue described in greater detail below;
A $2.4 million decrease in depletion expense, primarily due to a decrease in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces sold; and
A $1.1 million decrease in finance expense as a result of repayments of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility which was $456.0 million as at September 30, 2023 and $379.0 million as at September 30, 2024.
Partially offset by:
A $1.2 million increase in income tax expense largely driven by the recognition of previously unrecognized tax losses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 which did not occur in the current period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue was $44.7 million compared with $41.3 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase is attributable to a 31% increase in the average realized selling price of gold; partially offset by an 18% decrease in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces1 sold. In particular, the increase in revenue was driven by:
A $3.4 million increase in revenue attributable to the Company's Relief Canyon Stream due to delays in shipments and timing of sales which occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 whereby only 252 gold ounces were sold in the period whereas during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received and sold its regular entitlement of 1,476 ounces of gold per quarter under the Stream;
A $2.9 million increase in Revenue attributable to the Company's Greenstone Gold Stream which poured first gold in May 2024 and began making deliveries under the Stream during the three months ended September 30, 2024;
A $1.9 million increase in revenue attributable to the Chapada copper Stream primarily due to a 55% increase in the number of pounds of copper sold, as well as an increase in the average realized selling price of copper which increased from an average of $3.76 per pound during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to an average of $4.43 per pound during the equivalent period in 2024; and
A $1.7 million increase in revenue attributable to the Bonikro Gold Stream due to a 49% increase in attributable gold ounces sold partially due to the timing of deliveries and sales.
Sandstorm Gold Ltd.

2024 Third Quarter Report

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Partially offset by:
A $3.8 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Company's Mercedes Gold and silver Streams as a result of; (i) the conclusion of the fixed gold delivery period, in accordance with the stream agreement, at the end of 2023, which entitled the company to receive 1,000 ounces of gold per quarter; (ii) the suspension of the silver Stream through April 2028 and the reduction in the ongoing Gold stream entitlement to 275 ounces per month from 600 ounces per month in accordance with the Restructuring Agreement described in the Mercedes Precious Metal Streams section above;
A $3.5 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Company's Other Royalties segment largely due to one time increases in mining activity on concessions subject to the Company's royalties in the prior period which did not occur in the current period, most notably related to Copper Mountain true-up payments recognized in the third quarter of 2023; and
A $1.5 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Cerro Moro silver Stream primarily due to a 44% decrease in the number of silver ounces sold as a result of lower silver grades due to mine sequencing, partially offset by an increase in the average realized selling price of silver which increased from an average of $23.06 per ounce during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to an average of $30.70 per ounce during the equivalent period in 2024.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Compared to the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2023
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net income and cash flows from operating activities were $12.4 million and $99.3 million, respectively, compared with net income of $18.3 million and cash flows from operating activities of $114.0 million for the comparable period in 2023. The decrease is due to a combination of factors including:
A $10.0 million decrease in other contractual income related to a one-time contractual payment from the Company's Mt. Hamilton royalty received during the nine months ended September 30, 2023;
A $9.7 million increase in income tax expense whereby during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $9.3 million while in the comparable period in 2023 the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $0.4 million as a result of the recognition of previously unrecognized losses; and
A $6.3 million decrease in revenue described in greater detail below.
Partially offset by:
An $11.0 million decrease in depletion expense, primarily due to a decrease in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces sold;
Sandstorm Gold Ltd.
27
2024 Third Quarter Report

Management's Discussion & Analysis
A $4.6 million increase in other income whereby during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized income of $4.5 million largely related to the revaluation of the Company's investments in associates; while during the comparable period in 2023, the Company recognized an expense of $0.1 million;
A $3.3 million decrease in losses recognized on the revaluation of the Company’s investments driven by changes in the fair value of investments in debentures; and
A $2.4 million decrease in finance expense as a result of repayments of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility which was $456.0 million as at September 30, 2023 and $379.0 million as at September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue was $128.9 million compared with $135.1 million for the comparable period in 2023. The decrease is attributable to a 20% decrease in Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces1 sold excluding attributable ounces related to contractual payments which are included in Other Income; partially offset by a 19% increase in the average realized selling price of gold. In particular, the decrease in revenue was driven by:
A $10.9 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Company's Mercedes Gold and silver streams as a result of; (i) the conclusion of the fixed gold delivery period, in accordance with the stream agreement, at the end of 2023, which entitled the company to receive 1,000 ounces of gold per quarter; (ii) the suspension of the silver stream through April 2028 and the reduction in the ongoing Gold Stream entitlement to 275 ounces per month from 600 ounces per month in accordance with the Restructuring Agreement described in the Mercedes Precious Metal Streams section above;
A $6.9 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Cerro Moro silver Stream primarily due to a 42% decrease in the number of silver ounces sold as a result of lower silver grades due to mine sequencing, partially offset by an increase in the average realized selling price of silver which increased from an average of $23.97 per ounce during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to an average of $26.69 per ounce during the equivalent period in 2024; and
A $6.3 million decrease in revenue attributable to the Antamina segment due to: a reduction in the Company's royalty entitlement as a result of the partial disposition of the royalty to Horizon Copper in the second quarter of 2023; a reduction in the royalty in the period due to a one-time adjustment to the asset retirement obligation at the Antamina Mine to reflect updates related to a recently approved mine plan and other working capital adjustments, partially offset by revenue related to the Antamina silver Stream which was received as consideration for the partial disposition of the Antamina royalty in 2023.
Partially offset by:
A $6.6 million increase in revenue from the Company's Relief Canyon Gold Stream primarily due to the timing of deliveries, whereby revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes the sale of approximately 1,100 gold ounces relating to the Company's 2023 entitlement which were received in January 2024, in addition to the Company's regular entitlement of ounces of 1,476 per quarter in 2024. Additionally, sales in the comparable period in 2023 did not include 1,124 ounces relating to the third quarter of 2023 which were received subsequent to the period end date and sold in the fourth quarter of 2023;
Sandstorm Gold Ltd.
28
2024 Third Quarter Report

Management's Discussion & Analysis
A $5.2 million increase in revenue from the Company's Bonikro Gold Stream due to an increase in attributable gold equivalent ounces sold partially due to the timing of sales, whereby, 811 gold ounces were delivered by December 31, 2023 but sold in the subsequent quarter; whereas there were no ounces in inventory as at December 31, 2022. Additionally, sales in the comparable period in 2023 did not include 276 gold ounces which had been received by September 30, 2023 and sold in the subsequent quarter;
A $2.9 million increase in revenue attributable to the Company's Greenstone Gold Stream which poured first gold in May 2024 and began making deliveries under the Stream during the three months ended September 30, 2024; and
A $2.8 million increase in revenue attributable to the Chapada copper Stream primarily due to a 22% increase in the number of pounds of copper sold, as well as an increase in the average realized selling price of copper which increased from an average of $3.92 per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to an average of $4.10 per pound during the equivalent period in 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million (December 31, 2023 — $5.0 million) and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $20.3 million (December 31, 2023 — $37.6 million). As of the date of the MD&A, $369 million remains outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Facility and the undrawn and available balance remaining is $256 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated cash flows from operating activities of $99.3 million compared with $114.0 million during the comparable period in 2023. When comparing the change, the primary drivers were a decrease in the number of Attributable Gold Equivalent ounces sold partially offset by an increase in the average realized selling price of gold.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had net cash inflows from investing activities of $5.0 million which were primarily the result of cash receipts of $8.4 million related to the sale of investments and $14.4 million related to the sale of a package of royalties to Evolve as discussed earlier, net of transaction costs, both as part of the Company’s strategy of monetizing its non-core assets; partially offset by the acquisition of Stream, royalty and other interests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had net cash outflows from investing activities of $18.3 million which were primarily the result of (i) the acquisition of $24.5 million in investments and other assets partially comprised of a $9.0 million secured loan to Bear Creek; and (ii) the acquisition of $17.9 million in stream, royalty and other interests; partially offset by $20 million received in connection with the partial disposition of the Antamina NPI.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had net cash outflows from financing activities of $104.4 million primarily related to (i) the repayment of $71.0 million on its revolving credit facility; (ii) interest payments of $25.1 million; (iii) dividend payments of $13.1 million; and (iv) $10.2 million in repurchases of the Company's shares in accordance with its normal course issuer bid and other; partially offset by a $15.0 million draw down on its revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had net cash outflows from financing activities of $98.7 million primarily related to (i) the repayment of $83.0 million on its revolving credit facility; (ii) interest expense payments of $25.5 million; (iii) $18.3 million in repurchases of the Company’s shares in accordance with its normal course issuer bid and other; and (iv) dividend payments of $13.4 million; partially offset by a $41.5 million draw down on its revolving credit facility.

Sandstorm will make ongoing per pound cash payments equal to the lesser of $0.50 and the then prevailing market price of copper, until 9.1 billion pounds of copper have been produced from the entire joint venture property. Thereafter, the ongoing per pound payments will increase to the lesser of $1.10 and the then prevailing market price of copper.
9.For Greenstone, the Gold Stream on the project is for 2.375% of gold production from the Greenstone Mine until 120,333 ounces of gold have been delivered, then 1.583% thereafter. In addition to the ongoing payments of 20% of the spot price of gold and to the extent the costs are incurred by the Greenstone Mine, Sandstorm will pay $30 per ounce to fund mine-level environmental and social programs.
10.Under the Hod Maden Gold Stream, Sandstorm will receive 20% of all gold produced from Hod Maden (on a 100% basis) and will make ongoing payments of 50% of the gold spot price until 405,000 ounces of gold are delivered (the "Delivery Threshold"). Once the Delivery Threshold has been reached, Sandstorm will receive 12% of the gold produced for the life of the mine for ongoing payments of 60% of the gold spot price.
11.Under the terms of the amended Mercedes Gold Stream, the Company will have the right to purchase 275 ounces per month through April 2028 and thereafter 4.4% of the gold produced from the Mercedes Mine for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 25% of the spot price of gold.

12.Under the terms of the Platreef Gold Stream, the Company has the right to purchase 37.5% of gold produced until 131,250 gold ounces have been delivered, 30% until an aggregate of 256,980 ounces of gold are delivered, and 1.875% thereafter if certain conditions are met. In calculating gold deliveries owing under the Stream, a fixed payability factor of 80% is applied to all gold production. Until 256,980 ounces have been delivered, Sandstorm will make ongoing payments equal to the lesser of $100 per ounce of gold and the gold market price on the business day immediately preceding the date of delivery. After 256,980 ounces have been delivered, Sandstorm will make ongoing payments of 80% of the spot price of gold for each ounce delivered.
13.For the Relief Canyon Stream, fixed ounce entitlement includes additional Stream funding advanced in 2023 and 2024. After receipt of 32,022 gold ounces (the cost of which is nil), the Company is entitled to purchase 4.0% of the gold and silver produced from the Relief Canyon Mine for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 30%-65% of the spot price of gold or silver, with the range dependent on the concession's existing royalty obligations.
14.Under the terms of the amended Vatukoula Gold Stream, the Company is entitled to fixed deliveries totaling 11,022 gold ounces (the cost of which is 20% of the spot price) after January 1, 2023 (the "Vatukoula Fixed Delivery Period"). Following the Vatukoula Fixed Delivery Period, the Company is entitled to purchase 1.363% for the first 100,000 ounces of gold produced in a calendar year, and 1.199% for the volume of production above 100,000 ounces, with both variable delivery rates subject to upward adjustment depending on the final scale of the Company's investment in the Vatukoula Gold Stream.
15.For the Woodlawn silver stream, Sandstorm has agreed to purchase an amount of silver equal to 80% of payable silver produced. Deliveries under the Woodlawn silver stream are capped at AUD27 million. In addition, the Company holds a second stream at Woodlawn under which the operator has agreed to pay Sandstorm AUD1.0 million for each 1Mt of tailings ore processed at Woodlawn, subject to a cumulative cap of AUD10 million.

As previously disclosed, Sandstorm became aware that a third party commenced legal proceedings against it in a Brazilian court. The proceedings involve severance owed to former employees of Colossus Mineração Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary company of Colossus Minerals Inc. (an entity with which Sandstorm entered into a Stream). Since these severance claims, estimated to be approximately $8 million, remain outstanding, the claimants are seeking to recoup their claims from Sandstorm. Sandstorm intends on defending itself as it believes the case is without merit.

The Company has agreed to make available certain additional funds to Horizon subject to certain conditions, including availability, use of proceeds and other customary conditions up to a maximum of $150 million. The facility will bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate plus a margin (currently 2.0% - 3.5% per annum). The maturity date of the Horizon facility is August 31, 2032 and is convertible to Horizon Shares at the option of the Company or Horizon (provided that no conversion will be effected if it would result in the Company holding a greater than 34% equity interest in Horizon). No amounts have been drawn to-date.
In addition to its current leased office space, the Company is party to a 15-year lease for office space which has not yet commenced and which the Company has fully sublet. Under the terms of this agreement the minimum lease payments for the entire space, including the sublet areas, are approximately $25 million over the 15-year lease term.
Share Capital
As of November 7, 2024, the Company had 296,843,702 common shares outstanding. As disclosed previously, the funds from the issuance of share capital have been used to finance the acquisition of Streams and royalties (recent acquisitions are described earlier in greater detail) and pay down debt.
Under the Company’s normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), the Company is able, until May 6, 2025, to purchase up to 20 million common shares. The NCIB provides the Company with the option to purchase its common shares from time to time.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other, short-term and long-term investments, loans receivable which are included in investments, trade payables and other, lease liabilities, and bank debt. The Company’s short and long-term investments, excluding loans receivable, are initially recorded at fair value, and subsequently revalued to their fair market value at each period end. Investments in common shares and warrants held that have direct listings on an exchange are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of warrants, convertible debt instruments and related instruments are determined using discounted cash flow models and Black-Scholes models based on relevant assumptions including discount rate, risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and expected warrant life which are supported by observable current market conditions. Investments are acquired for strategic purposes and may be disposed of from time to time. The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other, loans receivable which are included in investments, trade payables and other, and bank debt approximate their carrying values at September 30, 2024.
Sandstorm also holds common shares of Versamet Royalties Corp. (previously called Sandbox Royalties Corp.) and Horizon Copper. As a result of these equity ownership positions being greater than 20% on a fully diluted basis, Sandstorm has determined that it has significant influence over Versamet and Horizon Copper; consequently, they are related parties of the Company and any transactions with these entities are considered related party transactions.
Credit Risk
The Company’s credit risk is limited to cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in short and long-term investments, trade and other receivables and the Company’s investments in convertible debentures. The Company’s trade and other receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Sandstorm’s royalty portfolio. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets and maintains its cash deposits in several high-quality financial institutions. The impact of expected credit losses on trade receivables and financial assets held at amortized cost is not material.
The Company’s investments in debentures are subject to the counterparties’ credit risk. In particular, the Company’s convertible debentures due from Horizon Copper and Bear Creek are subject to their respective credit risk, the Company’s ability to realize on its security and the net proceeds available under that security.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates or other prices such as equity prices and commodity prices.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its bank debt and its investments in debentures. The Company’s bank debt is subject to a floating interest rate. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, a 1% increase (decrease) in nominal interest rates would have increased (decreased) interest expense by approximately $1.0 million and would not have a material impact on the fair value of the Company’s investments in debentures.
CURRENCY RISK
Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net income (loss) or other comprehensive income (loss) due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in investments, trade and other receivables and trade payables and other denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the Company's Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at September 30, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net income by $2.0 million and would not have a material impact on other comprehensive income.
OTHER RISKS
Sandstorm holds common shares, convertible debentures, loans receivable, warrants and investments of other companies with a combined fair market value as at September 30, 2024 of $246.7 million (December 31, 2023 — $258.9 million). The daily exchange traded volume of these shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, may not be sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting the market value of the shares. The Company is subject to default risk with respect to any debt instruments. The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding these investments in other mining companies. The Company does not actively trade these investments. Based on the Company's investments held as at September 30, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) in the equity prices of these investments would increase (decrease) other comprehensive income by $2.1 million and would not have a material impact on net income.

Other Risks to Sandstorm
The primary risk factors affecting the Company are set forth below. For additional discussion of risk factors, please refer to the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 27, 2024, which is available on www.sedarplus.ca.
The Chapada Mine, the Cerro Moro Mine, the Aurizona Mine, the Fruta del Norte Mine, the Relief Canyon Mine, the Black Fox Mine, the Hugo North Extension and Heruga deposits, the Gualcamayo Mine, the Lobo-Marte Project, the Houndé Mine, the Vatukoula Mine, the Vale Royalty Package, the Antamina Mine, the Blyvoor Mine, the Caserones Mine, the Mercedes Mine, the Bonikro Mine, CEZinc, the Hod Maden Project, Platreef, the Greenstone Mine, Robertson, Horne 5 and other royalties and commodity Streams in Sandstorm’s portfolio are hereafter referred to as the “Mines”.
Risks Relating to Mineral Projects
To the extent that they relate to the production of gold or an applicable commodity from, or the operation of, the Mines, the Company will be subject to the risk factors applicable to the operators of such Mines. Whether the Mines will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including cash costs associated with extraction and processing, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade, and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices which are highly cyclical and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The Mines are also subject to other risks that could lead to their shutdown and closure including flooding and weather related events, the failure to receive permits or having existing permits revoked, collapse of mining infrastructure including tailings pond, as well as community or social related issues. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Mines becoming uneconomic resulting in their shutdown and closure. The Company is not entitled to purchase gold, other commodities, receive royalties if no gold or applicable commodity is produced from the Mines or the underlying are expropriated or laws are enacted that effectively expropriate the economics of the Mines.
No Control Over Mining Operations
With respect to its Streams and royalties, the Company has no contractual rights relating to the operation or development of the Mines. Except for any payments which may be payable in accordance with applicable completion guarantees or cash flow guarantees, the Company will not be entitled to any material compensation if these mining operations do not meet their forecasted gold or other production targets in any specified period or if the Mines shut down or discontinue their operations on a temporary or permanent basis. The Mines may not commence commercial production within the time frames anticipated, if at all, and there can be no assurance that the gold or other production from such
Sandstorm Gold Ltd.

2024 Third Quarter Report

Management's Discussion & Analysis
properties will ultimately meet forecasts or targets. At any time, any of the operators of the Mines or their successors may decide to suspend or discontinue operations. The Company is subject to the risk that the Mines shut down on a temporary or permanent basis due to issues including, but not limited to economics, lack of financial capital, floods, fire, mechanical malfunctions, social unrest, expropriation, and other risks. There are no guarantees the Mines will achieve commercial production, ramp-up targets, or complete expansion plans. These issues are common in the mining industry and can occur frequently.
Government Regulations
The Mines are subject to various foreign laws and regulations governing prospecting, exploration, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, reclamation, historic and cultural resources preservation, mine safety and occupational health, handling, storage and transportation of hazardous substances and other matters. It is possible that the risks of expropriation, cancellation or dispute of licenses could result in substantial costs, losses, and liabilities in the future. The costs of discovering, evaluating, planning, designing, developing, constructing, operating, and closing the Mines in compliance with such laws and regulations are significant. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance of such laws and regulations could become such that the owners or operators of the Mines would not proceed with the development of or continue to operate the Mines. Moreover, it is possible that future regulatory developments, such as increasingly strict environmental protection laws, regulations, and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property and persons resulting from the Mines could result in substantial costs and liabilities in the future.
International Operations
The operations with respect to the Company’s gold, other precious metals and other interests are conducted in Canada, Mexico, the United States, Mongolia, Burkina Faso, Ecuador, South Africa, Ghana, Botswana, Côte d'Ivoire, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guyana, Paraguay, French Guiana, Türkiye, Fiji and Australia and as such, the Mines are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, terrorism, international sanctions, hostage taking, military repression, crime, political instability, currency controls, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, the risks of war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits, approvals and contracts, illegal mining, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation, changing political conditions, and governmental regulations. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may adversely affect the operations or profitability of the Mines in these countries. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of
Sandstorm Gold Ltd.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use, mine safety and the rewarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Any adverse developments with respect to SSR Mining and Lidya, its cooperation, its intention to pursue project financing, or in its exploration, development, permitting and operation of the Hod Maden Project in Türkiye may adversely affect the Company’s related exposure to the project. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to realize on its investments related to the Hod Maden Project if sanctions are imposed on Türkiye, Lidya and its related entities or SSR Mining. Any changes or unfavorable assessments with respect to (i) the validity, ownership, or existence of the Entrée Resources’ concessions; as well as (ii) the validity or enforceability of Entrée Resources’ joint venture agreement with Oyu Tolgoi LLC may adversely affect the Company’s profitability or profits realized under the Entrée Stream. The Serra Pelada royalty cash flow or profitability may be adversely impacted if the Cooperative de Mineração dos Garimpeiros de Serra Pelada, which holds a 25% interest in the Serra Pelada Mine, continues to take unfavorable actions. In addition, Colossus Minerals Inc.’s Brazilian subsidiary has payables in excess of $30 million and accordingly, there is a risk that it may be unable to repay its debts, resulting in insolvency and loss of any rights to the Serra Pelada mine. A failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests. The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Mines.
Income Taxes
No assurance can be given that new taxation rules will not be enacted or that existing rules will not be applied in a manner which could result in the Company’s past and future profits being subject to increased levels of income tax. The Company’s prior years’ Canadian tax returns may be audited by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) and no assurances can be given that tax matters, if they so arise, will be resolved favorably. Currently, the Company’s prior years’ tax returns for the 2019-2022 taxation years are under international and income tax audit by the CRA. The Company has not received any proposal or Notices of Reassessment in connection with this. The majority of the Company’s Streams and royalties have been entered into directly by Canadian based subsidiaries and are therefore, subject to Canadian tax. The Company is aware that the CRA has taken the position with other similar companies in the royalty and streaming business that the upfront payment made in connection with precious metal and commodity stream agreements should be deducted for income tax purposes in a similar manner to how such amount is expensed for financial statement purposes. Sandstorm believes that the Company’s position, as reflected in its filed Canadian income tax returns and consistent with the terms of the stream agreements, that the cost of the precious metal acquired under the streams is equal to the market value while a deposit is outstanding, and the cash cost thereafter is correct. If Sandstorm were to apply the CRA’s proposed methodology to prior taxation years, the Company
Sandstorm Gold Ltd.

2024 Third Quarter Report

Management's Discussion & Analysis
estimates that losses would arise that could be carried back to reduce tax and interest to an immaterial amount.
Commodity Prices for Metals Produced from the Mines
The price of the Company’s common shares and the Company’s financial results may be significantly adversely affected by a decline in the price of gold, silver, copper, zinc and/or iron ore (collectively, the “Metals”). The price of the Metals fluctuates widely, especially in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to, the sale or purchase of the Metals by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold, silver, copper, zinc and iron ore producing countries throughout the world.
In the event that the prevailing market price of the Metals are at or below the price at which the Company can purchase such commodities pursuant to the terms of the Stream agreements associated with the metal interests, the Company will not generate positive cash flow or earnings. Declines in market prices could cause an operator to reduce, suspend or terminate production from an operating project or construction work at a development project, which may result in a temporary or permanent reduction or cessation of revenue from those projects, and the Company might not be able to recover the initial investment in Streams and royalties.
Information Systems and Cyber Security
The Company’s information systems, and those of its counterparties under the precious metal purchase agreements and vendors, are vulnerable to an increasing threat of continually evolving cybersecurity risks. Unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to these systems or the Company’s information through fraud or other means of deceiving the Company’s counterparties.
The Company’s operations depend, in part, on how well the Company and its suppliers, as well as counterparties under the commodity purchase and royalty agreements, protect networks, equipment, information technology systems and software against damage from a number of threats. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations.
Although to-date the Company has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur such losses in the future. The Company’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain an area of attention.

2024 Third Quarter Report

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Key Management
The Company is dependent upon the services of a small number of key management personnel who are highly skilled and experienced. The Company’s ability to manage its activities will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. The Company faces intense competition for qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
No Control Over Underlying Investments and Securities
With respect to the Company’s investments in debt and equity securities and its investments in associates, the Company has no contractual rights over the operations of those investees. The Company does not control the investees’ operations, their boards or management teams. The decisions of those entities could at times conflict with the interests of the Company. Any adverse developments with respect to those entities, its cooperation or in its exploration, development, permitting and operation of the underlying assets may adversely affect the Company’s interests in those securities and investments.
Environmental
All phases of mining and exploration operations are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of government laws and regulations. Environmental legislation is becoming stricter, with increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and heightened responsibility for companies and their officers, directors, and employees. Continuing issues with tailings dam failures at other companies’ operations may increase the likelihood that these stricter standards and enforcement mechanisms will be implemented in the future. There can be no assurance that possible future changes in environmental regulation will not adversely affect the operations at the Mines, and consequently, the results of Sandstorm’s operations. Failure by the operators of the Mines to comply with these laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. The occurrence of any environmental violation or enforcement action may have an adverse impact on the operations at the Mines, Sandstorm’s reputation and could adversely affect Sandstorm’s results of operations.
Government regulation relating to emission levels (such as carbon taxes) and energy efficiency is becoming more prevalent and stringent. While some of the costs associated with reducing emissions may be offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation, Sandstorm expects that increased government regulation will result in increased costs at some operations at the Mines if the current regulatory trend continues. All of Sandstorm’s mining interests are exposed to climate-related risks through the operations at the Mines. Climate change could result in challenging conditions and

extreme weather that may adversely affect the operations at the Mines and there can be no assurances that mining operations will be able to predict, respond to, measure, monitor or manage the risks posed as a result of climate change factors.
Solvency Risk of Counterparties
The price of the common shares and the Company’s financial results may be significantly affected by the Mines operators’ ability to continue as a going concern and have access to capital. The lack of access to capital could result in these companies entering bankruptcy proceedings and as a result, Sandstorm may not be able to realize any value from its respective Streams or royalties.
As the Company’s revolving facility is secured against the Company’s assets, to the extent Sandstorm defaults on its debt or related covenants, the lenders may seize on their security interests. The realization of security or default could materially affect the price of the Company’s common shares and financial results.
The Company’s Vale Royalties are publicly traded on Brazil’s National Debenture System. The daily exchange traded volume of the Vale Royalties may not be sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting their market value.
Health Crises and Other
Global markets have been adversely impacted by emerging infectious diseases and/or the threat of outbreaks of viruses, other contagions, or epidemic diseases, including recently, the novel COVID-19. A significant new outbreak or continued outbreaks of COVID-19 could result in a widespread crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn which could adversely affect the Company’s business and the market price of the common shares. Many industries, including the mining industry, have been impacted by these market conditions. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, it may result in a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, availability of credit, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Company’s business and the market price of the Company’s securities. In addition, there may not be an adequate response to emerging infectious diseases, or significant restrictions may be imposed by a government, either of which may impact mining operations. There are potentially significant economic and social impacts, including labour shortages and shutdowns, delays and disruption in supply chains, social unrest, government or regulatory actions or inactions, including quarantines, declaration of national emergencies, permanent changes in taxation or policies, decreased demand or the inability to sell and deliver concentrates and resulting commodities, declines in the price of commodities, delays in permitting or approvals, suspensions or mandated shut downs of operations, governmental disruptions or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. At this time, the Company cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations or financial

Management's Discussion & Analysis
results, due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread, the duration of the outbreak, and the length restrictions or responses that have been or may be imposed by the governments. Given the global nature of the Company’s operations, the Company may not be able to accurately predict which operations will be impacted or if those impacted will resume operations. Any new outbreaks or the continuation of the existing outbreaks or threats of any additional outbreaks of a contagion or epidemic disease could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business and operational results.
Other
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the periods presented. Notes 2 and 3 of the Company’s 2023 annual consolidated financial statements describe all of the material accounting policies as well as the significant judgments and estimates.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. The Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures includes, but is not limited to, the Disclosure Policy, the Code of Conduct, the Stock Trading Policy, Corporate Governance, the effective functioning of the Audit Committee and procedures in place to systematically identify matters warranting consideration of disclosure by the Audit Committee.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in the rules of the National Instrument 52-109 in Canada and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the United States. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
Sandstorm Gold Ltd.
48
2024 Third Quarter Report

Management's Discussion & Analysis
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes:
Maintaining records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
Providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS;
Providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and
Providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in internal controls of the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the following new and amended standards.
The International Accounting Standards Board has issued classification and measurement and disclosure amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 which are effective 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 flow changes are linked to environmental, social or governance targets).
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is a new standard that will provide new presentation and disclosure requirements and which will replace International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces changes to the structure of the statement of income; 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.

Forward-looking information is based on reasonable assumptions that have been made by Sandstorm as at the date of such information and is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Sandstorm to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions; Antamina Mine, Blyvoor Mine, Caserones Mine, Mercedes Mine, Bonikro Mine, CEZinc, Hod Maden Project, Platreef, Greenstone Mine, Robertson, Horne 5, the Chapada Mine, the Cerro Moro Mine, the Houndé Mine, the Gualcamayo Mine, the Fruta del Norte Mine, the Black Fox Mine, the Aurizona Mine, the Relief Canyon Mine, the Hugo North Extension and Heruga deposits, the mines underlying the Sandstorm portfolio of royalties, the Lobo-Marte Project, the Vatukoula Mine, or the Vale Royalty Package; the absence of control over mining operations from which Sandstorm will purchase gold or other commodities, or receive royalties from and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; problems inherent to the marketability of minerals; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of metals, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in interest rates; government entities interpreting existing tax legislation or enacting new tax legislation in a way which adversely affects Sandstorm; the number or aggregate value of common shares which may be purchased under the NCIB; audits being conducted by the CRA and available remedies; the expectation that the terms of the earn-in milestone payments of SSR Mining's agreement to acquire a 40% operating interest in the Hod Maden Project will be fulfilled, its intention to pursue project financing, including expectation of benefits to the overall development of the project as a result of the SSR Mining acquisition and its ability to fulfil its role as operator of the Hod Maden Project, including the social and regulatory license to operate; management’s expectations regarding Sandstorm’s growth; stock market volatility; competition; as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risks to Sandstorm” herein and those risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in Sandstorm’s most recent Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 available at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov and incorporated by reference herein.
Forward-looking information in this MD&A includes, among other things, disclosure regarding: the impact of COVID-19 on the business, audits being conducted by the CRA and available remedies, management’s expectations regarding Sandstorm’s growth, Sandstorm’s existing Gold Streams and royalties as well as its future outlook, the operators of the mines ability to fulfil their roles as operators, including the social and regulatory license to operate; the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates for each of the Chapada Mine, the Cerro Moro Mine, the Houndé Mine, the Gualcamayo Mine, the Fruta del Norte Mine, the Black Fox Mine, the Aurizona Mine, the Relief Canyon Mine, the Hugo North Extension and Heruga deposits, the mines underlying the Sandstorm portfolio of royalties, the Lobo-Marte Project, the Vatukoula Mine, the Vale Royalty Package, the Antamina Mine, the Blyvoor Mine, the Caserones Mine, the Mercedes Mine, the Bonikro Mine, CEZinc, the Hod Maden Project, Platreef, the Greenstone Mine, Robertson, and Horne 5.

Although Sandstorm has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 | Expressed In U.S. Dollars
1.Nature of Operations
Sandstorm Gold Ltd. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on March 23, 2007. Sandstorm Gold Ltd. and its subsidiary entities (collectively “Sandstorm”, “Sandstorm Gold” or the “Company”) is a resource-based company that seeks to acquire gold and other metals purchase agreements (“Gold Streams” or “Streams”) and royalties from companies that have advanced stage development projects or operating mines. In return for making an upfront payment to acquire a Stream or royalty, Sandstorm receives the right to purchase, at a fixed price per unit or at a fixed percentage of the spot price, a percentage of a mine’s production for the life of the mine (in the case of a Stream) or a portion of the revenue generated from the mine (in the case of a royalty).
The head office, principal address and registered office of the Company are located at Suite 3200, 733 Seymour Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 0S6.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 7, 2024.
2.Summary of Material Accounting Policies
AStatement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards” or “IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

2024 Third Quarter Report

Financial Statements
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
BNew Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
The International Accounting Standards Board has issued classification and measurement and disclosure amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 which are effective 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 flow changes are linked to environmental, social or governance targets).
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is a new standard that will provide new presentation and disclosure requirements and which will replace International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces changes to the structure of the statement of income; 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 is currently assessing the impact of the new and amended standards.
CBasis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except as otherwise indicated.

3.Financial Instruments
ACapital Risk Management
The Company manages its capital such that it endeavors to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. At September 30, 2024, the capital structure of the Company consisted of $1,433.2 million (December 31, 2023 — $1,429.0 million) of equity attributable to common shareholders, comprising issued share capital (note 8), accumulated reserves, retained earnings and other comprehensive loss. The Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Company complies with certain covenants under the Revolving Facility agreement governing bank debt. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants as at September 30, 2024.
BFair Value Estimation
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As required by IFRS 13, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Investments in common shares and warrants held that have direct listings on an exchange are classified as Level 1.
Level 2 | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Investments in warrants and convertible debt instruments held that are not listed on an exchange are classified as Level 2. The fair value of warrants, convertible debt instruments and related instruments are determined using a Black-Scholes model based on relevant assumptions including the risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected warrant life which are supported by observable current market conditions. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly impact the Company’s results.
Level 3 | Inputs that are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). When a fair value measurement of a Stream, royalty and other interest is required, it is determined using unobservable discounted future cash flows. As a result, the fair values are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans receivable which are included in investments, and trade payables and other, approximate their carrying values at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s bank debt, 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 September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

2024 Third Quarter Report

Financial Statements
CCredit Risk
The Company’s credit risk is limited to cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in investments, trade and other receivables, and the Company’s investments in convertible debentures. The Company’s trade and other receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Sandstorm’s royalty portfolio. Generally, the Company's cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions are in excess of the applicable deposit insurance company coverage limits. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets and maintains its cash deposits in several high-quality financial institutions. The impact of expected credit losses on trade receivables and financial assets held at amortized cost is not material.
The Company’s investments in debentures are subject to counterparties’ credit risk. In particular, the Company’s convertible debentures due from Horizon Copper Corp. (“Horizon Copper”) and Bear Creek Mining Corporation (“Bear Creek”) are subject to their respective credit risk, the Company’s ability to realize on its security and the net proceeds available under that security.
DLiquidity Risk
The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account the amount available under the Company’s revolving credit facility, anticipated cash flows from operating activities and its holding of cash and cash equivalents. As at September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million (December 31, 2023 — $5.0 million). Sandstorm holds common shares, convertible debentures, warrants, investments and loans receivable due from other companies with a combined fair market value as at September 30, 2024 of $246.7 million (December 31, 2023 — $258.9 million). The daily exchange traded volume of these shares, including the shares underlying the warrants, may not be sufficient for the Company to liquidate its position in a short period of time without potentially affecting the market value of the shares. The Company's trade payables and other are due within one year.
EMarket Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates or other prices such as equity prices and commodity prices.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its bank debt and its investments in debentures. The Company’s bank debt is subject to a floating interest rate. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, a 1% increase (decrease) in nominal interest rates would have increased (decreased) interest expense by approximately $1.0 million and would not have a material impact on the fair value of the Company’s investments in debentures.

Financial Statements
CURRENCY RISK
Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net income (loss) or other comprehensive income (loss) due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable which are included in investments, trade and other receivables, lease liabilities and trade payables and other denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the Company's Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at September 30, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net income by $2.0 million and would not have a material impact on other comprehensive income.
OTHER PRICE RISK
The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding investments in other mining companies. The Company does not actively trade these investments. The equity prices of investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices, the volatility in global markets as a result of expectations of inflation and global events. Based on the Company's investments held as at September 30, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) in the equity prices of these investments would increase (decrease) other comprehensive income by $2.1 million and would not have a material impact on net income.

BBear Creek Restructuring
In January 2024, Sandstorm closed its previously announced agreement to restructure its existing Mercedes streams and refinance certain Bear Creek investments (the “Restructuring Agreement”). The transaction was accounted for as a partial disposition of the Company's Mercedes Gold and silver stream interests. The terms of the restructured agreements and key assumptions are as follows:
Revised Gold Stream: Effective January 1, 2024, Sandstorm has the right to purchase 275 gold ounces per month through April 2028 and a 4.4% gold stream thereafter for an on-going cash payment of 25% of the spot price of gold for each gold ounce delivered. Based on the fair value of the revised gold stream of $24.9 million, determined using a discounted cash flow model, its carrying value, which approximated its fair value, was reduced by $4.4 million. Key assumptions used in the analysis were a 5% discount rate, a long-term gold price of $1,800 per ounce and an estimated mine life of 8 years.
Revised Silver stream: Effective January 1, 2024, the silver stream was suspended through the fixed gold delivery period (through April 2028); thereafter, Sandstorm will receive 100% of the silver produced for the life of the mine for an on-going cash payment of 25% of the spot price of silver for each silver ounce delivered. Based on the fair value of the revised silver stream of $7.3 million, determined using a discounted cash flow model, its carrying value, which approximated its fair value, was reduced by $14.7 million. Key assumptions used in the analysis were a 5% discount rate, a long-term silver price of $23 per ounce and an estimated mine life of 8 years.
Revised Debt Holdings: Sandstorm restructured its $22.5 million convertible debenture and a $14.4 million secured loan into 5-year convertible notes bearing interest at 7% per annum and convertible into common shares of Bear Creek at a strike price of CAD0.73 per share (the “Refinanced Sandstorm Debentures"). Sandstorm also received $4.2 million of additional principal at the time of the restructuring. The Refinanced Sandstorm Debentures, including the additional principal received, had a fair value at the time of the restructuring of $38.4 million measured using a discount rate of approximately 9.5% resulting in loss on restructuring of $1.1 million. The Refinanced Sandstorm Debentures are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
On closing and in consideration for the amendments, Sandstorm also received:
Corani Royalty: a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty on Bear Creek’s wholly owned Corani project in Peru, one of the world’s largest fully permitted silver deposits. Using a discounted cash flow model, the fair value of the royalty at the time of the restructuring was determined to be $12.0 million. Key assumptions used in the analysis were a 7% discount rate, a long-term silver price of $23 per ounce, a long-term zinc price of $1.20 per pound, a long-term lead price of $0.91 per pound and an estimated mine life of 15 years.
Bear Creek Shares: Sandstorm also received 28,767,399 Bear Creek common shares with a fair value at acquisition of $4.0 million.
In connection with the Restructuring Agreement, Sandstorm agreed to make up to $8 million in additional credit available to Bear Creek, subject to certain conditions, all of which had been advanced at September 30, 2024. The amounts drawn under this facility have been added to the principal amount of the Refinanced Sandstorm Debentures.

C Evolve Transaction
On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Evolve Strategic Element Royalties Ltd. (“Evolve”) to sell eight non-core, non-precious metals royalties for closing cash proceeds of $21 million plus the retention of the next $10 million in royalty proceeds from the Company's 2.5–5.0% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") on a portion of the Copper Mountain mine in British Columbia ("Copper Mountain"). In addition to the Copper Mountain royalty, the portfolio included a 0.5% net profits interest on Teck Resources Ltd.’s Highland Valley Copper project (“HVC”) and a 1.5% NSR on Green Technology Metals Limited’s (“Green Technology”) Seymour Lake lithium development project ("Seymour Lake").
On May 13, 2024, the Company closed the sale of all royalties without preemptive rights (including Copper Mountain and HVC) and received cash proceeds of $15.4 million from Evolve. The remaining $5.6 million in cash, covering royalties with preemptive rights including Seymour Lake, was subject to certain closing conditions. During the closing period, Green Technology asserted that it was not subject to certain obligations underlying the royalty agreement for Seymour Lake. Consequently, the Company was not able to close this portion of the transaction by the agreed-upon outside date. Sandstorm has initiated arbitration proceedings to seek recourse from Green Technology and is actively pursuing its rights under the agreement.

2024 Third Quarter Report

Financial Statements
During the second quarter of 2024, Versamet settled its debenture due to Sandstorm by way of issuing 24,179,193 common shares with a fair value of $14.2 million to Sandstorm in accordance with the terms of the debenture agreement. The fair value of the Versamet shares received was recorded as an addition to the carrying amount of the Company's investment in associate balance and Sandstorm's resultant equity ownership position, after giving effect to other share transactions at Versamet, decreased from 34.0% to 28.1%.
The Company has agreed to make available certain additional funds to Horizon Copper subject to certain conditions, including availability, use of proceeds and other customary conditions up to a maximum of $150 million. The facility will bear interest at SOFR plus a margin (currently 2.0% - 3.5% per annum). The maturity date of the Horizon Copper facility is August 31, 2032 and is convertible to Horizon Copper shares at the option of the Company or Horizon Copper (provided that no conversion will be effected if it would result in the Company holding a greater than 34% equity interest in Horizon Copper). No amounts have been drawn to-date.

10.Under the Hod Maden Gold Stream, Sandstorm will receive 20% of all gold produced from Hod Maden (on a 100% basis) and will make ongoing payments of 50% of the gold spot price until 405,000 ounces of gold are delivered (the "Delivery Threshold"). Once the Delivery Threshold has been reached, Sandstorm will receive 12% of the gold produced for the life of the mine for ongoing payments of 60% of the gold spot price.
11.Under the terms of the amended Mercedes Gold Stream, the Company will have the right to purchase 275 ounces per month through April 2028 and thereafter 4.4% of the gold produced from the Mercedes Mine for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 25% of the spot price of gold.

In calculating gold deliveries owing under the Stream, a fixed payability factor of 80% is applied to all gold production. Until 256,980 ounces have been delivered, Sandstorm will make ongoing payments equal to the lesser of $100 per ounce of gold and the gold market price on the business day immediately preceding the date of delivery. After 256,980 ounces have been delivered, Sandstorm will make ongoing payments of 80% of the spot price of gold for each ounce delivered.
13.For the Relief Canyon Stream, fixed ounce entitlement includes additional Stream funding advanced in 2023 and 2024. After receipt of 32,022 gold ounces (the cost of which is nil), the Company is entitled to purchase 4.0% of the gold and silver produced from the Relief Canyon Mine for ongoing per ounce cash payments equal to 30%-65% of the spot price of gold or silver, with the range dependent on the concession's existing royalty obligations.
14.Under the terms of the amended Vatukoula Gold Stream, the Company is entitled to fixed deliveries totaling 11,022 gold ounces (the cost of which is 20% of the spot price) after January 1, 2023 (the "Vatukoula Fixed Delivery Period"). Following the Vatukoula Fixed Delivery Period, the Company is entitled to purchase 1.363% for the first 100,000 ounces of gold produced in a calendar year, and 1.199% for the volume of production above 100,000 ounces, with both variable delivery rates subject to upward adjustment depending on the final scale of the Company's investment in the Vatukoula Gold Stream.
15.For the Woodlawn silver stream, Sandstorm has agreed to purchase an amount of silver equal to 80% of payable silver produced. Deliveries under the Woodlawn silver stream are capped at AUD27 million. In addition, the Company holds a second stream at Woodlawn under which the operator has agreed to pay Sandstorm AUD1.0 million for each 1Mt of tailings ore processed at Woodlawn, subject to a cumulative cap of AUD10 million.

As previously disclosed, Sandstorm became aware that a third party commenced legal proceedings against it in a Brazilian court. The proceedings involve severance owed to former employees of Colossus Mineração Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary company of Colossus Minerals Inc. (an entity with which Sandstorm entered into a Stream). Since these severance claims, estimated to be approximately $8 million, remain outstanding, the claimants are seeking to recoup their claims from Sandstorm. Sandstorm intends on defending itself as it believes the case is without merit.
In addition to its current leased office space, the Company is party to a 15-year lease for office space which has not yet commenced and which the Company has fully sublet. Under the terms of this agreement the minimum lease payments for the entire space, including the sublet areas, are approximately $25 million over the 15-year lease term.
