CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in US Dollars)

Independent auditor's report

To the Shareholders of Elemental Altus Royalties Corp.

Our opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards).

What we have audited

The Company's consolidated financial statements comprise:

  • the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and 2023;
  • the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the years then ended;
  • the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended;
  • the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended; and
  • the notes to the consolidated financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment indicator assessment of royalty interests and its investment in associates

Refer to note 2(c) – Critical accounting estimates and judgments; note 3 – Material accounting policies; note 6 – Royalty interests; and note 8 – Investment in associates to the consolidated financial statements. | Our approach to addressing the matter included the following procedures, among others: |
| As at December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of the Company's royalty interests and its investments in associates were $135.7 million and $41.1 million, respectively. | • Evaluated the reasonableness of management's assessment of impairment indicators for a sample of the royalty interests and the investments in associates, related to significant changes in future commodity prices, operator mineral reserve and resource estimates or other relevant information received from the operators that indicate production from the interests will not likely occur or may be significantly reduced in the future. |
| Management assesses whether any indication of impairment exists at the end of each reporting period for each royalty interest and the investments in associates, including assessing whether there are observable indications that the asset's value has declined during the period. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the interest or investment is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment (if any). | • the current and past performance of the underlying mining operation associated with the interests or investments; |
| Management uses judgment when assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, such as significant changes in future commodity prices, operator mineral reserve and resource estimates or other relevant information received from the operators that indicate production from the interests or investments will not likely occur or may be significantly reduced in the future. | • external market and industry data; |
| We considered this a key audit matter due to the judgment made by management in assessing whether impairment indicators exist for royalty interests and the investments in associates, and a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence related to management's assessment of impairment indicators. | • the publicly disclosed information by operators of the underlying mining operation associated with the interests or investments; and |
| | • consistency with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. |

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

pwc

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is James Lusby.

  1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. (the "Company" or "Elemental Altus"), incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company is primarily involved in the acquisition and generation of precious metal royalties. The registered office address is Suite 1020, 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol "ELE" and the OTCQX market under the trading symbol "ELEMF".

These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for at least twelve months from December 31, 2024.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

(A) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards").

The financial statements are presented in US Dollars. The notation "$" represents US dollars, "C$" represents Canadian dollars, and "A$" represents Australian dollars.

The financial statements were approved by the board and authorized for issue on April 16, 2025.

(B) Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Material subsidiaries are listed in the following table:

Name Country of Incorporation Functional Currency % Equity Interest as at December 31,
2024 2023
Altus Royalties Limited England & Wales US Dollar 100 100
Altus Strategies Limited England & Wales US Dollar 100 100
Alpha 2 SPV Limited* UAE US Dollar 100 50
Alcrest Royalties Australia Pty Limited* Australia US Dollar 100 50
Elemental One Limited BVI US Dollar 100 100
Elemental Royalties (Australia) Pty Ltd Australia US Dollar 100 100
Elemental Resources Limited England & Wales Pound Sterling 100 100
Elemental Royalties Delaware LLC United States of America US Dollar 100 100

*Refer to note 6 for further information on acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Alpha 2 SPV Limited and Alpha 3 SPV Limited. This acquisition includes Alcrest Royalties Australia Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpha 3 SPV Limited.

The results of each subsidiary will continue to be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company until the date the Company's control over the subsidiary ceases. Control is achieved when the Company satisfies the following conditions:

  • Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

(Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise noted)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

(B) Basis of consolidation (continued)

In general, there is a presumption that holding a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption, and when the Company holds less than a majority of the voting rights or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has control over an investee, including:

  • Contractual arrangements with the other vote holders of the investee
  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
  • The Company's voting rights and potential voting rights

The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of an interest commences when the Company obtains control over the interest and ceases when the Company loses control of the interest. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of an interest acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the interest.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent company of the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Joint arrangements exist where the Company has joint control of an entity and they are classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture.

Entities are recognized as joint operations if the following criteria are fulfilled:

  • Their legal form gives parties rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement
  • The contractual terms of the joint arrangement specify that parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement.
  • The arrangement has been designed by the parties so that its activities provide the parties with an output which represents rights to substantially all of the economic benefits of the assets held in the separate vehicle

Joint operations are accounted for by recognizing the Company's share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Joint ventures and investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method.

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and is neither a subsidiary nor a joint operation. The Company has significant influence when it has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate but does not have control or joint control over those policies.

All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity income, expense and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Company are eliminated in full on consolidation.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

C) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Information about such judgements and estimates is contained in the Company's accounting policies and/or the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Areas of judgement and estimation that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are outlined below:

(i) Impairment review of royalty interests and investment in associates

At the end of each reporting period, it is assessed whether there are any indicators that the carrying value may not be recoverable or that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist that gives rise to the requirement to conduct an impairment or impairment reversal analysis. Impairment or impairment reversal is assessed at the cash-generating unit (CGU) level, which is usually at the individual royalty from which independent cash inflows are generated.

Management uses judgment when assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, such as considering variables such as the production profiles, production commissioning dates where applicable, future commodity prices and guidance from the mine operators such as reserve and resource estimates or other relevant information from the operators which may indicate production from the interests will not likely occur or may be significantly reduced in the future. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the interest is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment (if any). Management uses judgment when assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, such as significant changes in future commodity prices, operator mineral reserve and resource estimates or other relevant information received from the operators that indicates production from the interests will not likely occur or may be significantly reduced in the future. The test to determine the recoverable amount is performed using an income-based approach based on a discounted cash flow model which includes the following significant assumptions: future commodity prices, discount rate, and forecasted production based on mineral reserve and resource estimates from the operators. Management's estimates of forecasted production of mineral reserves and resources from the operators are based on information compiled by qualified persons (management's expert).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

C) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

(ii) Investments in associates, joint operations and joint ventures

The Company holds a variety of investments in associates and there is judgement as to whether the Company exercises significant influence or control over the investee.

  • The Sociedad Legal Minera California Una de la Sierra Peña Negra ("SLM California") investment has been accounted for as a joint venture, using the equity method of accounting as the shareholders agreement refers to distribution of net profits and not an allocation of revenues and expenses.
  • The Company's investment in Aterian Plc has been classified as an investment in associate accounted for using the equity method as the Company has significant influence but not control over Aterian Plc. The Company holds a 20.04% interest and can appoint one director to the Board of Directors of Aterian Plc.
  • The Company holds a 30% interest in Legend Mali (UK) II Ltd ("Legend Mali") with another third-party entity owning 70% interest. The Company has determined that Legend Mali is a joint arrangement since approvals of 80% are required from the Board of Directors for the relevant activities. Legend Mali's Board of Director representation is based on the ownership percentage noted above. The Company's investment in Legend Mali has been accounted for as a joint venture, using the equity method of accounting.
  • The Company holds a 50% equity interest in Minera Tercero SpA, which was set up with a third-party partner company for the purpose of acquiring royalties and receiving subsequent royalty income. Judgement has been applied as to whether Minera Tercero SpA should be treated as a joint venture or joint operation. Since all outputs are distributed to shareholders and the company essentially operates at breakeven, it has been concluded that this is indicative of a joint operation and, therefore, the Company accounts for its interests in Minera Tercero SpA by recognizing its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Investments in associates are assessed for impairment indicators at each reporting date.

D) Sources of estimation uncertainty

(i) Mineral reserves and mineral resources

Royalty interests of the Company that generate economic benefit are depleted using a units-of-production method (based on units sold) over the anticipated life of the mine to which the interest relates. This is determined using available information regarding proven and probable mineral reserves and the portion of mineral resources expected to be classified as mineral reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the mineral reserves and mineral resources relating to each royalty interest. Mineral reserves and mineral resources are estimates of the amount of minerals that can be extracted from the mining properties at which the Company has royalty interests. Changes to the mineral reserves mineral and resources assumptions could directly impact the depletion rates used. Changes to depletion rates are accounted for prospectively.

(ii) Impairment reviews

When an impairment test is performed on a royalty interest, certain assumptions and estimates are used to determine the recoverable value of the asset. This may include mineral reserves and mineral resources as outlined above, commodity prices or other variables contributing to future revenue calculations, or assumptions relating to benchmarking or other market comparisons.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently by Company entities.

(A) Business combinations

On the acquisition of a business, the acquisition method of accounting is used, whereby the purchase consideration is allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of fair value at the date of acquisition. Provisional fair values allocated at a reporting date are finalized as soon as the relevant information is available, and within a period not to exceed twelve months from the acquisition date, with retrospective restatement of the impact of adjustments to those provisional fair values effective as at the acquisition date. Incremental costs related to acquisitions are expensed as incurred.

When the cost of the acquisition exceeds the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recorded as goodwill. If the fair value attributable to the Company's share of the identifiable net assets exceeds the cost of acquisition, the difference is recognized as a gain in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Non-controlling interests represent the fair value of net assets in subsidiaries, as at the date of acquisition, which are not held by the Company, and are presented in the equity section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

(B) Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position are translated at the foreign exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

(ii) Financial statements of foreign operations

The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the principal currency of the economic environment in which each entity operates. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to United States Dollars at exchange rates ruling at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The revenues and expenses of operations are translated to United States Dollars at rates approximating to the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of the profit or loss on disposal.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(C) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments held in the form of money market investments and certificates of deposit with investment terms that allow for penalty free redemption after three months.

(D) Revenue

Revenue is comprised of income earned from royalties. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable when management can reliably estimate the amount, pursuant to the terms of a royalty agreement. In some instances, the Company will not have access to sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of consideration to which it expects to be entitled and, accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until management can make a reasonable estimate. Differences between estimates and actual amounts are adjusted and recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known.

The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of the relevant commodity from the operator to the end customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those commodities.

(E) Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax.

Income tax is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized using the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

(F) Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares, which comprises irrevocable ordinary share subscriptions as well as options and warrants to purchase shares issued to employees and third parties respectively.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(G) Tangible assets (royalty arrangements)

Royalty arrangements

Royalty interests consist of acquired royalty interests and royalty interests generated on the disposal or reduction in ownership of former exploration and evaluation projects of the Company.

Royalty interests, which are identified and classified as tangible assets, are initially measured at cost including any directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment losses. Project evaluation costs that are not related to a specific royalty interest are expensed in the period incurred.

Producing royalty interests are depleted using the units-of-production ("UoP") method, based on units sold, over the anticipated life of the mine to which the interest relates. This is estimated using available information on proven and probable reserves and the portion of resources expected to be classified as mineral reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific agreement, where management is confident that further resources will be converted into reserves and are approaching economic decisions affecting the mine on this basis.

In situations when the expectations change, and management determines that an alternative basis may be more appropriate, such change is treated as a change in accounting estimate under IAS 8 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors'. The effect of the change is recognized prospectively from the period in which the change has been made.

(H) Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and is neither a subsidiary nor a joint operation. The Company has significant influence when it has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate but does not have control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is an entity over which the Company has joint control through a joint arrangement that requires the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control, and whereby the joint arrangement does not confer a right to the assets or an obligation for the liabilities of the entity.

The Company accounts for its investment in an associate or joint venture using the equity method. It is initially recognized at fair value when acquired and subsequently increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of the associate or joint venture's net income or loss. Adjustments may be necessary to give effect to uniform accounting policies or to reflect any other movement in the associate or joint venture's reserves or for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The share of income or loss is recognized in the Company's net loss during the period. Distributions received from the associate or joint venture are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company's investment.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(I) Impairment of royalty interests

An evaluation of the carrying value of each royalty is undertaken when an event or change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount is estimated to determine the extent of any impairment loss. The calculation of the recoverable amount includes the following significant assumptions: production based on estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources, long-term commodity prices, and discount rate. Estimated future production is determined using estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources, as well as exploration potential expected to be converted into resources or reserves. Long-term commodity prices are determined by reference to average long-term price forecasts per analyst consensus pricing. If it is determined that the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, then an impairment is recorded with a charge to net income (loss).

An assessment is made at each reporting period if there is any indication that a previous impairment loss may no longer exist or has decreased. If an indication is present, the carrying amount of the royalty interest is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount net of depletion which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the royalty in a previous period.

(J) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is recognized in the statements of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provision of the instrument.

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired or has been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is held at amortized cost where the objective is to collect contractual cash flows and these cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. Such an asset is initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to its acquisition or issue, and is subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. A provision is recognized based on the simplified approach within IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") using a provision matrix in the determination of the lifetime expected credit loss ("ECL"). This includes an assessment of the probability of non-payment of the receivable, which is multiplied by the value of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime ECL. On confirmation that the receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(J) Financial instruments (continued)

For trade receivables (not subject to provisional pricing) and other receivables due in less than 12 months, the Company applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs, as permitted by IFRS 9. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead, recognizes a loss allowance based on the financial asset’s lifetime ECL at each reporting date.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when contractual payments are four weeks past due without communication from the operator of the mine over which the Company holds a royalty. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. The loss allowance for receivables is measured based on lifetime expected credit losses.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit impaired, which is indicated when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred, which aligns to the definition of default.

The Company’s financial assets measured at amortized cost comprise trade receivable, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method include borrowings and trade and other payables that are short term in nature. A financial liability is derecognized if the Company’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (“EIR”). The EIR amortization is included as a finance cost in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(K) Share-based compensation

Directors, officers, employees and certain consultants may receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments whereby services are rendered for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in note 11. The cost is recognised in share-based compensation expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (contributed surplus) over the period in which the service and performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(K) Share-based compensation (continued)

The fair value of share purchase options granted is recognized as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of share purchase options granted is determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model using amounts that are believed to approximate the volatility of the trading price of the Company's stock, the expected lives of awards of share purchase options, the fair value of the Company's shares and the risk-free interest rate. For employees, the fair value of the options is measured at the date of grant. For non-employees, the options are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless they cannot be reliably measured in which case their values are determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Fair value is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete or the date the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable.

The estimated fair value of awards of share purchase options is recognized in profit or loss over the vesting period, with offsetting amounts to contributed surplus. If the share purchase options are granted for past services, they are recognized in profit or loss immediately. If the share purchase options are forfeited prior to vesting, no amounts are recognized in profit or loss. If share purchase options are exercised, then the fair value of the options is reclassified from equity reserve to share capital.

At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as profit or loss is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share purchase options that are expected to vest.

(L) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

(M) Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8 'Operating Segments', an operating segment is defined as a business activity whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ('CODM') and for which discrete information is available. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.

The Company records one segment, which is its royalty interests from which it derives its revenue (note 15).

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(N) New accounting standards adopted

New accounting standards effective in 2024

There was no material impact on the financial statements from new accounting standards or amendments to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2024.

Amendments IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1"). The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the entity's expectation or events after the reporting date. Covenants of loan arrangements will affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current if the entity must comply with a covenant either before or at the reporting date, even if the covenant is only tested for compliance after the reporting date. There was no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of these amendments.

New accounting standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current year and have not been early adopted.

IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18") was issued to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities. The standard, which replaces IAS 1, impacts the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of earnings where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements, and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.

The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

AlphaStream Transaction

On October 29, 2024, the Company acquired an additional 50% ownership interest in Alpha 2 SPV Limited ("Alpha 2") and Alpha 3 SPV Limited ("Alpha 3") from Alpha 1 SPV Limited. These entities collectively hold 24 existing royalties, including Bonikro, Ballarat, and SKO. The total consideration for the acquisition was $28 million, settled through the issuance of 34,444,580 newly issued common shares of the Company ("Alpha Acquisition").

The Company assessed the Alpha Acquisition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations and concluded that it does not meet the definition of a business combination. As a result, the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The total fair value of the acquired royalties, based on 100% ownership, is as follows:

  • Bonikro (4.5% NSR): $19.4m
  • Ballarat (2.5% NSR): $4.1m
  • SKO (AUD$10/oz): $0.9m
  • AER (multiple development royalties) $3.9m

From October 29, 2024, the Company has accounted for Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 as a wholly 100% owned subsidiaries in the Group financial statements, consolidating them in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, as sole control was obtained on this date.

Prior to the acquisition of the additional 50% ownership, the Company accounted for its interest in Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 as joint operations under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, recognising its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses in proportion to its 50% ownership.

Amancaya

The Company was notified by the operator that production at the Amancaya mine has temporarily ceased operations. As a result, the Company wrote-off the carrying value of the Amancaya royalty to nil. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total amount written off was $0.44 million.

Minera Tercero SpA is jointly controlled by the Company and another operator and is accounted for as a joint operation. The Company recognizes 50% of the principal asset held by Minera Tercero SpA, which is an investment in SLM California and 50% of the respective income and expenses. SLM California is an associate of Minera Tercero SpA and is accounted for using the equity method. The Company's 50% share of profit / loss of the associate recognized by Minera Tercero SpA under the equity method is shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Distributions received from the associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

The Company received distributions from SLM California in respect of the royalty on production at the Caserones mine of $3.9 million with respect of the year ended December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $4.1 million). The distributions were calculated after provisions made by SLM California for expenses and Chilean income tax. The Company adjusted this share of profit through an amortization of the investment based on a depletion calculation performed on the underlying royalty asset in order to conform with Elemental Altus' consolidated accounting policies.

Management of Capital

Management monitors the Company's financial risk management policies and exposures and approves financial transactions.

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximisation of the profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating and metal price risks while safeguarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic conditions and risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure the Company may issue new shares, acquire debt, or sell assets. Management regularly reviews cash flow forecasts to determine whether the Company has sufficient cash reserves to meet future working capital requirements and to take advantage of business opportunities.

The Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of complying with certain covenants under the facility provided by NBC/CIBC/RBC. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants in force at December 31, 2024. Details of these covenants are included in note 10.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which our financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:

Fair value at December 31, 2024 ($'000)
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Recurring Measurements
Cash and cash equivalents 4,454 - - 4,454
Investments 159 2,084 - 2,243
Total 4,613 2,084 - 6,697

Investments 1,375 2,074 - 3,449
Total 12,662 2,074 - 14,736

During the year ended December 31, 2024 no amounts were transferred between Levels. The group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. For these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts.

Discussions of risks associated with financial assets and liabilities are detailed below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is attributable to cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable relating to royalty revenues and milestone payments. The credit risk on cash is limited because the Company invests its cash in deposits with well capitalized financial institutions. The Company's accounts receivable is subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying the royalty portfolio. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuing to monitor forecasted and actual cash flows. 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 and its development plans. The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from royalty interests, its holdings in cash and its committed liabilities.

Market risk

Market risks are the risks that change in market factors, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates or interest rates, will affect the value of the Company's financial instruments. The Company manages market risks by either accepting it or mitigating it through the use of economic strategies.

Commodities price risk

The Company's royalties are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of gold and copper are the drivers of the Company's profitability. All of the Company's future revenue is not hedged in order to provide shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's transactions are carried out in a variety of currencies, including Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and US Dollar as well as Egyptian Pound and West African Franc and it is exposed to movements in the US Dollar against these other currencies. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

Sensitivity analysis has been performed to indicate how the profit or loss would have been affected by changes in the exchange rate between the US Dollar and each of these currencies. The analysis is based on a weakening and strengthening of these currencies by 10% against the US Dollar in which the Company has assets and liabilities at the end of each respective period. A movement of 10% reflects a reasonably possible sensitivity when compared to historical movements over a three-to-five-year timeframe. Based on the Group's USD denominated monetary assets and liabilities at December 31, 2024, a 10% strengthening in CAD, GBP and AUD relative to the US Dollar would result in an increase of approximately $0.04 million in the Company's net loss. A 10% increase (decrease) of the value of other currencies relative to the US Dollar would not have a material impact on net loss.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from interest bearing financial assets and liabilities that the Company uses. Treasury activities take place under procedures and policies approved and monitored by the Board to minimize the financial risk faced by the Company. Interest-bearing assets comprise cash and cash equivalents which are considered to be short-term liquid assets, and interest-bearing liabilities which comprises the loan from NBC. Depending on the company's leverage ratio, amounts drawn on the facility are subject to interest at SOFR plus 2.50% - 3.75% per annum, and the undrawn portion is subject to a standby fee of 0.56% - 0.84% per annum. An increase in the overall interest by 100 basis points would increase the interest expense and net loss by $0.00 million.
