ROYALTY MODEL

Third Party Holder Metalla

Third-Party Royalty Model

Royalty Value Royalty Value Arbitrage

• A royalty is worth more in a publicly tradedcompany with a portfolio of royalty assets,compared to holding a royalty privately, or in anexploration, development or operating company.

Mining Company Royalty Company

Traditional Royalty Model

Value of Ounces in Royalty Company

Value of Ounces in Mining Company

• The same number of ounces in a royaltycompany is worth more than in a miningcompany due to top line cash flow, non-dilutive interests, exploration upside, anddiversification.
