Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Gold Royalty Corp. (the “Company”), a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s prospectus supplement, dated May 28, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), forming part of the registration statement on Form F-3, as amended (Registration No. 333-265581), initially filed on June 14, 2022 and declared effective by the Commission on July 15, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). The Prospectus Supplement relates to the issuance of 17,442,000 units of the Company (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one common share (the “Underwritten Shares”) of the Company, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”) and one warrant (the “Underwritten Warrants”) to purchase one common share (the “Underwritten Warrant Shares”), including an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 2,616,300 Common Shares and/or warrants to purchase up to 2,616,300 Common Shares, pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement by and among the Company, National Bank Financial Inc. and BMO Capital Markets Corp, as lead underwriters, on their own behalf and on behalf of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”).

 

In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, each as amended and/or restated as of the date hereof; (ii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) related to the filing of the Prospectus Supplement, the authorization and issuance of the Underwritten Warrants and related matters; (iii) the Registration Statement, including the prospectus, and all exhibits thereto; (iv) the Prospectus Supplement and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, dated July 15, 2022 (the “Base Prospectus” and together with the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”); (v) the Underwriting Agreement; (vi) the Underwritten Warrants; (vii) a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof; and (viii) such other corporate records of the Company, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinion hereafter expressed.

 

As to questions of fact material to the opinion expressed below, we have, without independent verification of their accuracy, relied to the extent we deem reasonably appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such documents, records, certificates, instruments or representations furnished or made available to us by the Company.

 

In making the foregoing examination, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, (iv) that all agreements or instruments we have examined are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto, and (v) that all factual information on which we have relied was accurate and complete.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that when the Underwritten Warrants have been issued and delivered in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement against payment in full of the consideration payable therefor pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwritten Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.
