GoldRoyalty Corp.
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
1.Corporate Information
Gold Royalty Corp. (“GRC” or “the Company”) is a company incorporated in Canada on June 23, 2020 and domiciled in Canada. GRC is principally engaged in acquiring gold-focused royalty and mineral stream interests. The registered office of the Company is located at 1000 Cathedral Place, 925 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3L2, Canada. The principal address of the Company is located at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3, Canada.
The Company was a subsidiary of GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”) until the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on March 11, 2021. The Company’s common share and common share purchase warrants are listed on the NYSE American under the symbols “GROY” and “GROY.WS”, respectively.
2.Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies
2.1Statement of compliance
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation on June 23, 2020 to September 30, 2020.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) on August 12, 2021.
2.2Basis of presentation
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollar”, “$” or “dollar”). All values are rounded to the nearest dollar except where otherwise indicated.
On March 11, 2021, GRC, the parent entity, changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. The change in functional currency resulted from the growing proportion of expenses paid in U.S. dollars and the receipt of the cash proceeds of $88 million in U.S. dollars upon the completion of the IPO on March 11, 2021.
The effect of the change in functional currency is accounted for prospectively with no impact on prior period information. The Company translates all items into the new functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the change. The resulting translated amounts for non-monetary items are treated as their historical cost. Exchange differences arising from translation previously recognized in other comprehensive income are not reclassified from equity to profit or loss until the disposal of the operation.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020 except for the newly adopted policies described in 2.4. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
2.3Basis of consolidation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Gold Royalty Corp., Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. and 1310560 B.C. Ltd., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
2.Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.3Basis of consolidation (continued)
All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process.
The accounts of Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. and 1310560 B.C. Ltd. are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The functional currencies of Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. and 1310560 B.C. Ltd. are the United States dollar. For the period prior to the change in functional currency the results of, GRC, the parent entity, were translated from Canadian dollars using period end exchange rate as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to income and expenses. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
2.4New significant accounting policies effective October 1, 2020
Share-basedpayments
RestrictedShares
The fair value of the restricted shares is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the restricted shares vest. When restricted shares are conditional upon the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates the length of the expected vesting period at the grant date, based on the most likely outcome of the performance condition. The fair value of the restricted shares is determined based on the fair value of the common shares on the grant date, adjusted for minority shareholder discount, liquidity discount and other applicable factors that are generally recognized by market participants.
The fair value of restricted shares is recognized as an expense over the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of restricted shares expected to vest; that estimate will be revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of restricted shares expected to vest differs from previous estimates.
ShareOptions
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of share options. The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes, provides services that could be provided by a direct employee, or has authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, including non-executive directors. The fair value is measured at the grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. Consideration received on the exercise of share options is recorded as issued capital and the related share-based compensation reserve is transferred to issued capital.

(collectively the “Underwriters”) for an offering of 18,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $5.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one half of a common share purchase warrant, and each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire a common share at a price of $7.50 per share until March 11, 2024.
The Company granted the Underwriters the over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 2,700,000 common shares and/or 1,350,000 common share purchase warrants at $4.995 per common share and $0.01 per common share purchase warrant, respectively. The Company agreed to reimburse the Underwriters for certain fees and disbursements.
On March 11, 2021, the Company issued 18,000,000 Units at a price of $5.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $90,000,000. Further, the Underwriters exercised the Over-Allotment Option to purchase 721,347 additional common shares for gross proceeds of $3,603,128 and 1,350,000 additional common share purchase warrants for gross proceeds of $13,500. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred securities issuance costs of $5,570,844, of which $5,081,064 represented cash fees paid to the Underwriters.

6.Issued Capital (continued)
6.1Initial Public Offering (continued)
The net proceeds from the issuance of the Units were allocated to the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on a relative fair value basis. Inputs used to calculate the relative fair value of the common shares and common share purchase warrants are based on the quoted closing prices of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on the first day of trading on the NYSE American. The fair value of common shares and common share purchase warrants issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option are equal to the net proceeds received by the Company. The allocation of the fair value of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants is as follows:

6.2Common Shares
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in series without par value.
The Company issued one common share for consideration of $1.00 upon incorporation on June 23, 2020. On October 16, 2020, GoldMining, the Company’s former parent, subscribed for 5,000,000 common shares of the Company for cash of $50,000 and surrendered the one common share issued by the Company upon incorporation for no consideration.
On December 4, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of 1,325,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $2,848,750.
On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a service provider for the provision of digital marketing and advertising services.

ShareOptions
The Company adopted a long-term incentive plan (the “LTIP”) which provides that the Board of Directors may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant awards of restricted share units, performance share units, deferred share units and share options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The aggregate number of common shares issuable under the LTIP in respect of awards shall not exceed 10% of the common shares issued and outstanding.

All values are in US Dollars.
On March 7, 2021, the Company granted 2,505,000 stock options at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The share options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter. On May 20, 2021, the Company granted 305,000 stock options at an exercise price of $4.78 per share. The share options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter.
The fair value of the share options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| Risk-free<br> interest rate | 0.32 | % |
|---|---|---|
| Expected<br> life (years) | 3.00 | |
| Expected<br> volatility | 36.85 | % |
| Expected<br> dividend yield | 0.00 | % |

7.Capital Risk Management
The Company’s objectives are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to support the Company’s normal operating requirements and future acquisitions of royalty and mineral stream interests, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash.
At June 30, 2021, the Company’s capital structure consists of the equity of the Company (Note 6). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay dividends.

8.Financial Instruments (continued)
8.2Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company’s bank balances. The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by holding cash with large, reputable financial institutions.
8.3Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. The Company’s working capital (current assets less current liabilities) as at June 30, 2021 was $87,032,535. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.
8.4Commodity price risk
The Company’s future profitability will be dependent on the royalty income to be received from mine operators. Royalties are based on a percentage of the minerals or the products produced, or revenue or profits generated from the property which is typically dependent on the prices of the minerals the property operators are able to realize. Mineral prices are affected by numerous factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and global and regional supply and demand.
8.5Currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The currency risk on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are minimal.

Gold Royalty Corp.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021
COVID-19Pandemic and Current Economic Environment
A majority of the Company’s existing royalty and other interests are in respect of projects owned and operated by subsidiaries of GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”), the Company’s former parent, which has disclosed that its conduct of exploration and development programs may be impacted or delayed due to limitations on employee mobility, travel restrictions and shelter-in-place orders that have been put in place as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which may restrict or prevent its ability to access the properties underlying the Company’s interests. Any such limitations, restrictions and orders may have a material adverse effect upon ongoing exploration programs at such mineral properties and, ultimately, on the Company and/or Goldmining’s business and financial condition.
In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related mobility, travel and other restrictions are expected to continue to impact the Company’s ability to complete site-visits and diligence of potential royalty acquisition opportunities.

Gold Royalty Corp.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021
The Company has not generated any revenue from operations and the only sources of financing to date have been the prior issuance of shares, by way of private placement, and the IPO. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations and finance its planned activities over the next 12 months. Over the long term, the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and finance investment activities depends on its ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of securities pursuant to equity financings and short-term or long-term loans. Additionally, such financing may be necessary to fund the Company’s stated acquisition strategy. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. The Company’s growth and future success is dependent on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 was $5,262,303, which reflected a net loss of $5,790,210 offset by non-cash items including the Company’s share-based compensation of $1,926,867 and non-cash working capital changes including an increase in prepaids and other receivables of $1,842,484 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $577,999, and repayment of the amount due to GoldMining of $83,096.

CriticalAccounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment include the determination of the fair value of acquired royalty interests, key assumptions underlying the recoverable amounts used in impairment testing, and estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of restricted shares.
The assessment of impairment of royalty, stream and other interests requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates when assessing whether there are any indicators that could give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test as well as in the assessment of fair values.
The assessment of the fair values of royalty, stream and other interests requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Management uses judgment when assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, such as significant changes in future commodity prices, discount rates, foreign exchange rates, taxes, operator reserve and resource estimates or other relevant information received from the operators that indicates production from stream and royalty interests will not likely occur or may be significantly reduced in the future. In addition, the Company may use other approaches in determining fair value which may include estimates related to (i) dollar value per unit of mineral reserve/resource; (ii) cash-flow multiples; (iii) comparable transactions and (iv) market capitalization of comparable companies. Changes in any of the estimates used in determining the fair value of the royalty, stream and other interests could impact the impairment analysis.
Changein Functional Currency
On March 11, 2021, GRC, the parent entity, changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. The change in functional currency resulted from the growing proportion of expenses paid in U.S. dollars and the receipt of the cash proceeds of $88 million in U.S. dollars upon the completion of the IPO on March 11, 2021.
The effect of the change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively with no impact on prior period information. The Company translates all items into the new functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the change. The resulting translated amounts for non-monetary items are treated as their historical cost. Exchange differences arising from translation previously recognized in other comprehensive income are not reclassified from equity to profit or loss until the disposal of the operation.

FinancialInstruments and Risk Management
FinancialInstruments
At June 30, 2021, the Company’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term to maturity.
Financialrisk management objectives and policies
The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, commodity price risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Creditrisk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company’s bank balances. The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by holding cash with large, reputable financial institutions.
Liquidityrisk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. The Company’s working capital as at June 30, 2021 was $87,032,535. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.
Commodityprice risk
The Company’s future profitability will be dependent on the royalty income to be received from mine operators. Royalties are based on a percentage of the minerals or the products produced, or revenue or profits generated from the property which is typically dependent on the prices of the minerals the property operators are able to realize. Mineral prices are affected by numerous factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and global and regional supply and demand.
Currencyrisk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The currency risk on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are minimal.
OutstandingShare Data
As at the date hereof, the Company has 41,621,347 common shares, 10,350,000 common share purchase warrants and 2,810,000 share options outstanding.

InternalControl Over Financial Reporting
All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Accordingly, even disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management of the Company, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

| 2. | No misrepresentations: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim filings do not contain any<br> untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement<br> not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered by the interim filings. | |
| 3. | Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim financial report together with the<br> other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial<br> performance and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings. | |
| 4. | Responsibility: The issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls<br> and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as those terms are defined in National Instrument<br> 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, for the issuer. | |
| 5. | Design: Subject to the limitations, if any, described in paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3, the issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and<br> I have, as at the end of the period covered by the interim filings | |
| (a) | designed<br> DC&P, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| (i) | material<br> information relating to the issuer is made known to us by others, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are<br> being prepared; and | |
| (ii) | information<br> required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities<br> legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and | |
| (b) | designed<br>ICFR, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting<br>and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP. | |
| 5.1 | Control framework: The control framework the issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I used to design the issuer’s ICFR<br> is that published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). | |
| --- | --- | |
| 5.2 | N/A. | |
| 5.3 | N/A. | |
| 6. | Reporting changes in ICFR: The issuer has disclosed in its interim MD&A any change in the issuer’s ICFR that occurred during<br> the period beginning on April 1, 2021 and ended on June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially<br> affect, the issuer’s ICFR. | |
