“Proven (Measured) Reserves” are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes, and the grade iscomputed 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 definedthat 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 sitesfor inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance of probable (indicated) reserves, although lowerthan that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume geological continuity between points of observation.
See royalty definitions on page 17.Set forth below are the definitions of proven and probable reserves used by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Reserves have been reported by the operators as of December 31, 2011, with the exception of the following properties: Meekatharra (Reedys, Paddy’s Flat and Yaloginda) –March 2012; Taparko – January 2012; Mara Rosa – October 2011; Merlin Orbit and South Laverton – September 2011; Balcooma, Edna May, Gwalia Deeps and SouthernCross – June 2011; Schaft Creek – May 2011; Soledad – April 2011; Kutcho Creek – February 2011; Kundip and Pascua-Lama (copper only) – December 2010; Pine Cove– June 2010; Mt. Milligan – October 2009; and Caber – July 2007.
Gold reserves were calculated by the operators at the following per ounce prices: $1,457 – Soledad; $1,400 – Inata; A$1,400 – Southern Cross; A$1,300 – Meekatharra;$1,255 – Bousquet-Cadillac-Joannes; $1,250 – El Chanate, El Limon, Martha, South Laverton, Taparko and Wharf; A$1,250 – Gwalia Deeps and King of the Hills; $1,200 –Bald Mountain, Canadian Malartic, Cortez, Dolores, Gold Hill, Goldstrike, Leeville, Pascua-Lama, Peñasquito, Twin Creeks and Williams; $1,150 – Mulatos; $1,100 – DonMario, Don Nicolas, Holt and Mara Rosa; $1,000 – Robinson; $983 – Pine Cove; $850 – Andacollo; and $690 – Mt. Milligan. Schaft Creek is at a $5.05 net smelter returncut-off grade (metal price assumptions used by the operator were $658 per ounce gold; $10.90 per ounce silver; $1.93 per pound copper; and $14.70 per pound molybdenum).No gold price was reported for Balcooma, Edna May, El Toqui, Kundip, Kutcho Creek, Marigold and Wolverine.
Footnotes
“Reserve” is that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.
Royal Gold has disclosed a number of reserve estimates that are provided by royalty operators that are foreign issuers and are not based on the U.S. Securities and ExchangeCommission'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 withthe Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining andMetallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia, as amended ("JORC Code").
The reserves reported are either estimates received from the various operators or are based on royalty documentation material provided to Royal Gold or which is derived fromrecent publicly-available information from the operators of the various properties or various recent National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code reports filed by operators.Accordingly, Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the reserve estimates prepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with definitions of the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mineralized material is that part of a mineral system that has potential economic significance but cannot be included in the proven and probable ore reserve estimates untilfurther drilling and metallurgical work is completed, and until other economic and technical feasibility factors based upon such work have been resolved. The U.S. Securitiesand Exchange Commission does not recognize this term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever beconverted into reserves.

Some of the royalty operators are Canadian and Australian issuers. Canadian and Australian issuers use the terms "mineral resources" and its subcategories "measured,""indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources. For Canadian issuers, the definitions of "mineral resource," "measured mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource" and"inferred mineral resource" conform to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions of those terms as of the effective date of estimation, as requiredby National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. For Australian issuers, the definitions of "mineral resource," "measured mineral resource,""indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" conform with the JORC Code. While such terms are recognized and required by Canadian and Australianregulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. In each case, the mineralized material reported hereunder are estimates previouslydisclosed by the relevant operator, without reference to the underlying data used to calculate the estimates. Accordingly, Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the estimatesprepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with terms recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not toassume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
The additional mineralized material reported are either estimates received by the various operators or are based on royalty documentation material provided to Royal Gold orwhich is derived from recent publicly-available information from the operators of the various properties or various recent National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code reportsfiled by operators. Accordingly, Royal Gold is not able to reconcile the resource estimates prepared in reliance on National Instrument 43-101 or JORC Code with definitionsof the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be convertedinto reserves.
The estimates and production reports are prepared by the operators of the mining properties. Royal Gold does not participate in the preparation or verification of the operators’estimates or production reports and has not independently assessed or verified the accuracy of such information. Please refer to our cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements and to the risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for informationregarding factors that could affect actual results.

The operators at Avebury, Burnakura, Relief Canyon and Tulsequah Chief have not declared reserves.Production guidance reflects the entire project. Operator has not provided a breakdown of production by royalty interest.
NVR1 and GSR3 reserves and additional mineralized material are subsets of the reserves and additional mineralized material covered by GSR1 and GSR2.Round Mountain, a joint venture between Kinross and Barrick, has the right, at any time, to purchase the royalty interest for $10.0 million less any royalty payments paid priorto the purchase option being exercised. The royalty is subject to a minimum royalty payment of $100,000 per year.The sliding-scale NSR royalty will pay 2.0% when the price of gold is above $350 per ounce and 1.0% when the price of gold falls to $350 per ounce or below. The 0.9% NSR applies to the MACE claims. The operator did not break out reserves or resources subject to the 0.9% NSR. Production subject to the 1.0% to 2.0% NSRsliding-scale royalty is expected to commence in the second half of calendar 2012.
