Dividend Policy and Future Considerations

Understanding Dividend Payments
It’s important to note that dividends distributed to non-resident investors may be subjected to Canadian non-resident withholding taxes.

In exchange, Sandstorm secures a percentage of the production from the mine, which continues throughout the mine's operational life.
Expanding Portfolio
Currently, Sandstorm holds a diverse portfolio of 230 royalties, with around 40 mines actively producing. The Company aims to further enhance its low-cost production profile by acquiring additional gold royalties. This forward-thinking approach positions Sandstorm for long-term sustainability and growth, even amidst fluctuating market conditions.
Future Outlook
As is customary for any mining-focused investment, Sandstorm Gold Royalties manages a range of risks that could impact its business operations. Investors should remain aware of factors such as market volatility, commodity price fluctuations, and regulatory changes that could influence the Company’s performance. The Board continually assesses these risks while making decisions regarding capital allocation and dividend declarations.
Executing Growth Strategies
To ensure steady growth, Sandstorm Gold Royalties has a robust strategy in place.
