RGLD Company Profile

Royal Gold, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of acquiring and managing precious metal streams, royalties, and similar interests. We seek to acquire existing stream and royalty interests or to finance projects that are in production or in the development stage in exchange for stream or royalty interests.

Acquisition and Management of Stream Interests—A metal stream is a purchase agreement that provides, in exchange for an upfront deposit payment, the right to purchase all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine, at a price determined for the term of the agreement. As of June 30, 2016, we owned stream interests on four producing properties and three development stage properties.

On July 5, 2016, we entered into a binding commitment letter with Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") setting forth the key terms and conditions of a future amendment to our Mount Milligan streaming agreement in connection with the proposed acquisition by Centerra of Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. ("Thompson Creek") by Plan of Arrangement under the Arrangement Agreement executed between Centerra and Thompson Creek, as announced on July 5, 2016 (the "Centerra Acquisition"). Thompson Creek is the parent company of Terrane Metals Corp. ("Terrane"), which owns and operates the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine. Our obligation to amend the Mount Milligan streaming agreement is subject to the consummation of the Centerra Acquisition and other customary conditions set forth in the commitment letter.
