Triple
Flag Announces US$440 Million Gold Stream on the Ravenswood Gold Mine and Increases 2030 Outlook
TORONTO,
Ontario – Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (with its subsidiaries, “Triple Flag” or the “Company”) (TSX:
TFPM, NYSE: TFPM) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Triple Flag International Ltd., has entered into an agreement to acquire
a gold stream (the “Stream”) on the producing Ravenswood Gold Mine in Queensland, Australia for upfront cash consideration
of US$440 million. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in US dollars.
“Triple
Flag is very pleased to enter into an agreement to acquire a gold stream on the Ravenswood open-pit gold mine in Australia,” commented
Sheldon Vanderkooy, CEO. “The Ravenswood stream adds immediate cash flow from a large-scale, long-life operation located in
a top-tier mining jurisdiction, and is underpinned by two years of target gold deliveries. The Ravenswood Gold Mine is one of the 10
largest gold mines in Australia by ore reserves, with a long history of continuous operation and historical production of more than 4
million ounces of gold. EMR and GEAR have extensive global mining experience and have invested over A$830 million into the growth and
future of the asset, which is expected to produce more than 200,000 ounces of gold per annum at steady state. In-pit and near-mine exploration
upside also presents a significant opportunity to extend the mine life at Ravenswood Gold across a large and prospective land package.
The
Ravenswood gold stream is a cornerstone addition to our substantial Australian presence, which includes Northparkes, Beta Hunt and Fosterville.
First delivery under the Ravenswood gold stream will commence in the third quarter of 2026. The portfolio continues to perform strongly,
and with the addition of Ravenswood, we have increased our 2030 outlook to 150,000 to 160,000 GEOsi,
from 140,000 to 150,000 GEOs.”
Key
Terms and Transaction Highlights
| · | Immediate
cash flow and enhanced gold exposure from Queensland’s largest gold mine, underpinned
by target gold deliveries for two years |
| o | With
the recent A$830 million investment complete and the asset capitalized to continue its ramp-up,
annual production at the Ravenswood Mine is expected to be over 200,000 ounces of gold by
2028. Ravenswood Mine produced 134,000 ounces of gold in 2025. As per the Wood Mackenzie
total cash and sustaining capital gold cost curve estimate for 2026ii,
the life of mine average cost at the Ravenswood Mine ranks in the first half of the cost
curve. |
| o | Triple
Flag has the right to purchase 5.50% of payable gold from the Ravenswood Mine under the Stream.
The Stream rate steps down to 3.75% after 194,200 ounces of gold has been delivered, and
then to 2.50% after 253,000 ounces of gold has been delivered. |
| o | Triple
Flag will make ongoing payments of 10% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered until
194,200 ounces has been delivered, and 20% of the spot gold price thereafter. |
| o | The
Stream is subject to target cumulative quarterly gold deliveries starting in the third quarter
of 2026 through to the second quarter of 2028, inclusive. Over this period, these target
cumulative quarterly gold deliveries total 22,928 ounces and will result in quarterly deliveries
of approximately 2,300 to 3,300 ounces of gold, subject to a quarterly cap of 8% of actual
production during each quarter. |
| o | The
Stream rate is subject to a 25% buydown option that is exercisable upon a change of control
transaction for the Ravenswood Mine occurring within 48 months of the closing of the Stream
in exchange for consideration that is dependent on the gold price and when the buydown is
exercisediii. |
| o | The
Stream rate is subject to a separate, one-time 15% discretionary buydown option after 67,030
ounces of gold is delivered within a 30-day window in exchange for consideration set at the
greater of: i) 33,060 ounces multiplied by the spot gold price at the time, capped at approximately
$198.7 million; or ii) $92.4 million. |
| o | The
obligations and interests under the Stream will be secured and registered in favor of Triple
Flag following Foreign Investment Review Board (“FIRB”) approval. |
| o | Triple
Flag holds a right of first offer on new streams and royalties on the Ravenswood Mine. |
| · | Extensive
mineral endowment with significant exploration potential and a long history of operation |
| o | The
Ravenswood Mine is one of the 10 largest gold mines in Australia by ore reserves. Current
Proved and Probable ore reserves are 147 million tonnes at 0.61 g/t Au containing 2.8 million
ounces of gold. Measured and Indicated resources (inclusive) are 205 million tonnes at 0.55
g/t Au containing 3.6 million ounces of gold. Inferred resources are 66 million tonnes at
0.49 g/t Au containing 1.0 million ounces of goldiv. |
| o | More
than 4 million ounces of gold have been produced at the Ravenswood Mine since its discovery.
Current mining operations at the Ravenswood Mine are focused on open-pit mining at the Buck
Reef West and Sarsfield-Nolans deposits, which also have significant in-pit exploration potential.
Prospective targets at-depth in Sarsfield-Nolans include the Nolans Fault, A4, Keel and Buck
Reef Fault. In addition, deeper drilling has intersected wide and higher-grade zones of potential
underground mineralization with known structures demonstrating continuity, particularly in
areas of intersection with other structures. |
| o | The
Stream covers all existing mining and exploration licenses of the Ravenswood Mine over a
large and prospective land package of more than 1,800 km2. Long-term exploration
prospects within the land package include Mingela, Mt Success, Trieste and Helena. |
| · | An
established operator that has invested into the growth and future of the asset |
| o | Ravenswood
is jointly owned by EMR Capital and Golden Energy and Resources Pte. Ltd. (“GEAR”).
EMR Capital is the operator of the Ravenswood Gold joint venture. Stream proceeds for Ravenswood
will be used for debt reduction. |
| o | Since
acquiring Ravenswood Gold in 2020, EMR Capital and GEAR have invested over A$830 million
($570 million) to expand the asset and secure its future as a long-life operation. The capital
program included investments in the processing plant, tailings capacity, mining fleet, pit
development and infrastructure upgrades. The operation currently has an 8.6 million tonnes
per annum mill, a secure water supply and a long history of social license with the local
communities. Processing is based on a conventional carbon-in-leach circuit with beneficiation
that improves milled head grade by approximately 30% versus ore reserve grade. Recovered
gold is poured into doré. Triple Flag assumes a life-of-mine average recovery of approximately
90%. |
| o | EMR
Capital and GEAR have experienced exploration success following their acquisition of Ravenswood
Gold. Proved and Probable gold reserves grew by approximately 800 thousand ounces since 2020,
outpacing mining depletion of 600 thousand ounces over the same period. |
| o | EMR
Capital is a global resources private equity fund founded in 2011. EMR Capital has owned
and operated numerous mining projects globally, and has exited multiple investments, including
the Martabe gold-silver mine. In addition to Ravenswood Gold Mine, EMR Capital’s other
current investments in Australia include ASX-listed 29Metals (the 100% owner of the polymetallic
Golden Grove mine in Western Australia and Capricorn Copper mine in Queensland) and the Kestrel
metallurgical coal mine (divestiture expected to be completed by early in the fourth quarter
of 2026 to Yancoal). EMR Capital is a highly experienced mining operator with decades of
experience and a history of successful operational improvements. |
| o | GEAR
is a leading APAC-focused resources company that is part of the Sinar Mas Group, one of Indonesia’s
largest conglomerates. GEAR has significant experience in the natural resources sector as
well as Australia, having invested over A$5 billion in the country since 2017. GEAR is the
majority shareholder of ASX-listed Stanmore Resources as well as GM3, which owns the Illawarra
metallurgical coal assets. |
Asset
Background
The
Ravenswood Mine is a large-scale, open-pit gold mine located in Queensland, Australia, and has produced more than 4 million ounces of
gold from historical and modern mining operations. The Ravenswood Mine is located 130 kilometers south of Townsville by road.
Gold
was first discovered at Ravenswood in 1868. MIM Holdings Limited (“MIM”) subsidiary, Carpentaria Gold Pty Limited (“Carpentaria
Gold”), began modern mining at Ravenswood in 1987 and subsequently consolidated the land position comprising the Ravenswood Mine
today during its ownership. Xstrata plc acquired Carpentaria Gold through its acquisition of MIM in 2003, and then subsequently sold
Carpentaria Gold to Resolute Mining Limited (“Resolute”) in 2004. Resolute mined and processed 40 million tonnes of ore and
produced more than 1.9 million ounces of gold under its ownership. Driven by its strategic focus on Africa-based assets, Resolute sold
the assets of the Ravenswood Mine to EMR Capital and GEAR in 2020.
Key
Considerations
Closing
is expected in June 2026.
The
transaction is expected to be funded from available capital, including cash on hand of $144 million as of March 31, 2026, as well as
our $1 billion credit facility plus a $300 million accordion facility.

terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”,
“scheduled”, “estimates”, “outlook”, “forecasts”, “projection”, “prospects”,
“strategy”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases
or terminology which states that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”,
“will”, “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information in this
news release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the expected timing and completion of the Stream transaction;
expected production, operational and other developments at the Ravenswood Mine; developments, outlook, upside and growth potential in
respect of the Ravenswood Mine; expected deliveries under the Stream and the timing of such deliveries; expected benefits to the Company
under the Stream; the Company’s current and prior annual and five year guidance; operational and corporate developments for the
Company; timing and receipt of FIRB approval; and the expected sources of funding for the Stream transaction. In addition, any statements
that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including information
in this news release regarding the Stream and the anticipated benefits therefrom, contain forward-looking information. Statements containing
forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections
regarding possible future events or circumstances.
The
forward-looking information included in this news release is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience
and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently
believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. The forward-looking information contained in this news release is also based
upon a number of assumptions, including the ongoing operation of the properties in which we hold a stream or royalty interest by the
owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made
by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; and the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of
underlying properties that are not yet in production. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following: assumptions in
respect of current and future market conditions and the execution of our business strategies; that operations, or ramp-up where applicable,
at properties in which we hold a royalty, stream or other interest continue without further interruption through the period; and the
absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated, intended or implied.
Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions,
estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is also subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to,
those set forth under the caption “Risk and Risk Management” in our management’s discussion and analysis in respect
of the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 and the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed annual information
form, each of which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. In addition, we note that mineral resources
that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative
for the application of economic considerations.
Although
we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe
are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking
information. 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,
which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this news release represents our expectations as
of the date of this news release and is subject to change after such date. We disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to
update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required
by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking information contained in this news release is expressly qualified by the foregoing
cautionary statements.
