Summary of Financial Highlights for the Period Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Outlook

Based on performance during the first half of 2026 and current expectations for the underlying assets, the Company remains on track to achieve its 2026 GEO sales guidance. The Company's guidance for 2026 assumes a commodity price of US$4,500/oz gold and US$5.50/lb copper. The recent decline in gold prices has been partially offset by the increase in copper prices in 2026, which has positively impacted GEOs for Elemental's copper royalties, including Caserones and Timok. 

Guidance in 2026 is based on public forecasts, other disclosure by the owners and operators of our assets, historical performance, and management’s understanding of the underlying producing assets.

Key Strategic Developments

Q2 2026 has seen continued performance across Elemental's portfolio, supported by strong commodity prices and solid contributions from key producing assets. including Karlawinda, Bonikro, Caserones, Timok, and Leeville. The results of the quarter further strengthening the Company's position as a growing mid-tier royalty and streaming company, with a broad base of cash-flowing assets supporting a resilient and growing revenue profile. Key developments during and subsequent to the quarter included:

• Entering into a definitive arrangement agreement for the acquisition of Vizsla Royalties, which will provide Elemental with a life-of-mine 2.0%–3.5% NSR royalty over the Panuco silver-gold project in Mexico, an advanced development-stage project expected to become a cornerstone asset within the portfolio. The transaction has received shareholder and court approvals while subject to regulatory and other customary closing conditions as at June 30, 2026 and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2026.

• The declaration of the second quarterly dividend of US$0.03 per share as at June 30, 2026, which was paid post quarter end. Eligible registered shareholders were entitled to elect to receive the dividend in kind in the form of Tether Gold XAU₮, an innovative and historic first.

• The initiation of the Normal Course Issuer Bid repurchase program wherein the Company may purchase 3,222,537 common shares, approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares. During the quarter, the Company repurchased and cancelled 128,280 common shares, for a total cost of US$2.0 million. Subsequent to the end of the period, the Company repurchased an additional 17,749 common shares for a total cost of US$0.3 million.

• The acquisition of a 2.5% Net Smelter Return royalty on the Western Queen Gold Project for a total consideration of A$10 million (approximately US$7.25 million) with A$5 million to be paid at closing and A$5 million on satisfaction of certain milestone conditions. This upgrades and replaces an existing gold royalty of A$6-20 per ounce of gold produced.

• Elemental up-listed to the TSX main board, in addition to being added to the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index, and to the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 Indexes, which have already helped to enhance the Company's visibility among Canadian and U.S. institutional investors and index-oriented investment funds and bolster trading liquidity.

• Advancement across the portfolio, both at producing and development royalty assets, including cornerstones Timok, Caserones, Karlawinda, and Laverton, as well as updates at Diablillos, Cactus, and Dugbe. Operators continued to progress development, optimization, production, and exploration activities that support near-term cash flow visibility and long-term portfolio optionality.

• Elemental continues to evaluate a pipeline of potential royalty and streaming opportunities across precious and base metals, supported by a strong balance sheet, diversified portfolio, and disciplined capital allocation approach.

Subsequent to quarter-end, Elemental also increased its royalty interest in the Chapi copper mine and completed a strategic investment in Quilla Resources, owner of the Chapi mine. Together, these investments further expand the Company's copper exposure and add long-term development and exploration optionality to the portfolio.

Notes

Royalty revenue received carries no direct cash cost of sales: distributions from associates related to Elemental's effective royalty on Caserones were received net of Chilean taxes and have no other costs.

1. Refer to the "Non-IFRS financial measures" section below or on page 24 of the Q2 2026 MD&A for more information on each non-IFRS financial measure. These non-IFRS measures are not standardized financial measures under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements to which the measures relate and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.

2. Effective November 13, 2025, the Company discontinued accounting for SLM California as an investment in associate and began recognizing its share of revenue from the Caserones royalty directly, rather than as a share of profit from associate.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company has included performance measures which are non-IFRS and are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The non-IFRS measures do not have any standard meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and other companies may calculate measures differently.

Caserones Reclassification

Effective November 13, 2025, the shareholders of SLM California executed an amendment to the entity's shareholder agreement, resulting in the Company reassessing the classification of its interest in SLM California, which holds the Company's Caserones royalty. As a result of the amendment to the shareholder agreement, the Company determined that the revised arrangement constituted a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. Consequently, on November 13, 2025, the Company discontinued equity accounting under IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures and began recognizing its proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of SLM California as a joint operation. As a result, there are no adjustments in the current period for revenue plus attributable share of Caserones, depletion plus attributable share of Caserones, or tax expense plus attributable share of Caserones.

Reconciliation of Revenue, Depletion and Tax expense plus Attributable Share of Caserones:

Revenue plus attributable share of Caserones is a non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as including gross royalty revenue from associated entities holding royalty interests related to Elemental's effective royalty on the Caserones copper mine. Management uses revenue plus attributable share of Caserones to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as revenue, investors may use revenue plus attributable share of Caserones to evaluate the results of the underlying business, particularly as the revenue plus attributable share of Caserones may not typically be included in operating results. Management believes that revenue plus attributable share of Caserones is a useful measure of the Company performance because it adjusts for items which management believes reflect the Company's core operating results from period to period. Revenue plus attributable share of Caserones is intended to provide additional information to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. It does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Depletion plus attributable share of Caserones and tax expense plus attributable share of Caserones are non-IFRS measures which include depletion and tax expense from the Caserones royalty asset respectively, consistent with the recognition of revenue plus attributable share of Caserones as described above.

Reconciliation of Gold Equivalent Ounces Sold
