3. Royalty and metal stream definitions are included in the glossary on page 27 of this annual report.
4. Set forth below are the definitions of proven and probable reserves used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
   “Reserve” is that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.
   “Proven (Measured) Reserves” are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes, and the grade is computed from the results of detailed sampling, and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that the size, shape, depth and mineral content of the reserves are well established.
   “Probable (Indicated) Reserves” are reserves for which the quantity and grade are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced.  The degree of assurance of probable (indicated) reserves, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume geological continuity between points of observation.
5. Royal Gold has disclosed a number of reserve estimates that are provided by operators that are foreign issuers and are not based on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s definitions for proven and probable reserves. For Canadian issuers, definitions of “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve,” and “probable mineral reserve” conform to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions of these terms as of the effective date of estimation as required by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. For Australian issuers, definitions of “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve,” and “probable mineral reserve” conform with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia, as amended (“JORC Code”). Royal Gold does not reconcile the reserve estimates provided by the operators with definitions of reserves used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
6. The royalty rate is 75% until 910,000 payable ounces of gold have been produced; 50% thereafter. There have been approximately 98,000 cumulative payable ounces produced as of June 30, 2012. Gold is produced as a by-product of copper.
7. Operator reports reserves by material type. Reserves represent combined oxide and sulfide ores.
8. The Company’s royalty is subject to a 2.0 million ounce cap on gold production. There have been approximately 901,000 ounces of cumulative production as of June 30, 2012. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce – royalty rate): $0.00 to $299.99 – 1.0%; $300 to $324.99 – 1.50%; $325 to $349.99 – 2.0%; $350 to $374.99 – 3.0%; $375 to $399.99 – 4.0%; $400 or higher – 5.0%.

10. NVR1 and GSR3 reserves and additional mineralized material are subsets of the reserves and additional mineralized material covered by GSR1 and GSR2.
11. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce – royalty rate): $0.00 to $350 – 1.0%; above $350 – 1.5%.
12. The NSR sliding-scale royalty is capped once payments of approximately $17 million have been received. As of June 30, 2012, payments of approximately $13.0 million have been recognized. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce - royalty rate): less than $300 – 2.0%; $300 – $350 - 3.0%; greater than $350 – 4.0%.
13. The 2.0% GSR royalty applies to gold production from defined portions of the Taparko-Bouroum project area. The 0.75% GSR milling royalty applies to ore that is mined outside of the defined areas of the Taparko-Bouroum project that is processed through the Taparko facilities up to a maximum of 1.1 million tons per year.
14. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce – royalty rate): $0.00 to under $350 – 0.0%; $350 to under $400 – 0.5%; $400 to under $500 – 1.0%; $500 or higher – 2.0%.

16. All metals are paid based on zinc prices. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of zinc per pound – royalty rate): Below $0.50 – 0.0%; $0.50 to below $0.55 – 1.0%; $0.55 to below $0.60 – 2.0%; $0.60 or higher – 3.0%. Kagara is in administration.
17. Figures reflect reserves associated with the entire property. The operator did not provide a detailed breakdown of the reserves and additional mineralized material subject to Royal Gold’s royalty interest. Therefore, a portion of the reserves is not subject to Royal Gold’s royalty interest. Kagara is in administration.
18. NSR sliding-scale schedule (price of gold per ounce – royalty rate): Below $375 – 1.75%; >$375 to $400 – 2.0%; >$400 to $425 – 2.25%; >$425 – 2.5%. All price points are stated in 1986 dollars and are subject to adjustment in accordance with a blended index comprised of labor, diesel fuel, industrial commodities and mining machinery.
19. Production did not move onto Royal Gold’s royalty ground until fiscal 2012.
20. The royalty applies to 40% of production. The royalty rate is $1.44 per ton for the first 600,000 tons on which the royalty is paid, reducing to $0.72 per ton on 600,000 to 800,000 tons and to $0.36 per ton above 800,000 tons, at a price above $23.00 per ton. A sliding-scale is applicable when the price of potash drops below $23.00 per ton. Given the current North American market price for potash, the complete sliding-scale schedule is not presented here. In addition, there is a $0.25 per ton royalty payable on certain production up to 600,000 tons.
21. The Company has not recognized revenue from this property since the acquisition of IRC in February 2010.
