Nomad Royalty Company Reports Strong Inaugural Q2 Results

MONTREAL, Aug. 7, 2020 - "Nomad's inaugural quarterly results were very impressive, and the diversified portfolio showed its strength in minimizing volatility seeing minimal production curtailment, while maintaining exposure to rising commodity prices and generating strong cash flow," stated Vincent Metcalfe, CEO.

"We are experiencing increasing levels of activity, we are extremely excited to keep growing the Nomad portfolio and further diversifying through future acquisitions and investment opportunities," commented Joseph de la Plante, CIO

Basis of Presentation for Q2 and YTD 2020 Financials:
On May 27, 2020, Nomad completed its reverse take-over comprised of a vend-in transaction of Orion Fund II Portfolio and OMF Fund III (Mg) Ltd. with Orion Mine Finance and a vend in transaction of certain assets with Yamana Gold Inc. The basis for Nomad's financial statements is the continuation of Orion Fund II Portfolio, as the deemed acquirer of Nomad. The acquisition of OMF Fund III (Mg) Ltd. and the vend-in transaction with Yamana Gold Inc. have been accounted for as acquisition of assets. As per the vend-in agreements, Nomad had a right to all cash flow generated from the assets included in the vend-in agreements effective January 1, 2020.

As such, the Q2 and YTD 2020 financial information includes results for OMF Fund III (Mg) Ltd. (which holds the Bonikro gold stream) starting only from May 27, 2020 onwards. Orion paid $8.6 million to Nomad at the closing of the RTO Transaction. Of this amount, $5.5 million is reflected directly in the statement of income and comprehensive income of Nomad (related to Orion Fund II Portfolio), whereas $3.1 million is reflected in the statement of cash flows, investing activities as Cash acquired and relates to the cash operating margin generated for the revenues from the Bonikro gold stream (OMF Fund III (Mg)) from January 1 to May 27, 2020 (the "Bonikro Cash Adjustment").

Asset Update:

• Blyvoor gold stream: In response to COVID-19, the operator of Blyvoor gold stream implemented strict health and safety measures. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, following the receipt of the key blasting permit, Blyvoor gold mine commenced day and night shift development blasting and also initiated commissioning of its gold plant. The operator is forecasting to produce its first ore in the fourth quarter of 2020.
• Bonikro gold stream: Operations at the Bonikro mine have not been interrupted to date by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• South Arturo silver stream: El Nino mine production exceeded expectations during the second quarter. A new NI 43-101 report was commissioned for South Arturo. The JV partners are assessing additional development opportunities including the Phase 1 and Phase 3 open pit projects and the potential for an on-site heap leach. The JV partners expect to complete the updated technical report during the third quarter with the goal of providing a long-term view of the opportunity provided by this project.
• Mercedes silver stream: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and following the Mexican federal government decree on March 30, 2020, Mercedes was placed on care and maintenance. The decree was lifted at the end of May and, upon certification of compliance to protocols intended to minimize the risk of COVID-19 presence and transmission on site, limited ore and waste development as well as delineation and exploration drilling were restarted. Ore was stockpiled in June and processing resumed in early July. During the shutdown, a plan was developed to re- start operations with a strategy limiting mining and development activities to the Lupita (including Lupita Extension) and Diluvio zones. This realignment recognizes the need to optimize Mercedes' production to its current reserve base rather than its processing capacity. The new plan will focus on enhancing underground operating efficiencies and supervision in order to minimize dilution and improve ore quality. According to the operator, ongoing exploration and delineation drill programs are expected to enable mill throughput toward nameplate capacity over time.
• RDM NSR royalty: Equinox Gold temporarily suspended mining activities in response to COVID-19 at RDM from March 23 to April 2, 2020. The mine has been operating normally since April 3, 2020 and the temporary suspension did not have a material impact on production. Equinox Gold has budgeted a total capital spend of $22 million at RDM during 2020. Sustaining capital of $5 million relates primarily to the scheduled tailings facility raise. Expansion capital of $17 million relates almost entirely to open-pit expansion and capitalized stripping. The permit required to commence a pit expansion was expected in Q2 2020, which will provide access to higher grade ore for the remainder of the year.
• Gualcamayo NSR royalty: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and following the restrictions from the Argentina Government, mining operations were stopped between March 20 and April 3, keeping activities on the leaching processes and processing plant. On April 3, mining was added to essential activities and the Gualcamayo operations were normalized.
• Woodlawn silver stream: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and following the restrictions imposed by the Australian Federal and State Governments on March 24, 2020, Woodlawn mine was placed on care and maintenance and has yet to resume operations. Prior to the shutdown, Woodland mine shipped a total of 5,368 dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of zinc concentrate and 1,796 dmt of copper concentrate.
• Troilus NSR royalty: On July 28, Troilus Gold Corp. reported a new mineral resource estimate of 4.96 million indicated gold equivalent ("AuEq") ounces and 3.15 million inferred AuEq ounces.

On June 30, 2020 there were 511,249,454 common shares of Nomad outstanding. Non-IFRS Measures:

Nomad has included certain performance measures in this press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") including gold equivalent ounces, gold ounces and gold equivalent ounces earned and sold attributable to Nomad, adjusted net income, cash operating margin, cash operating margin attributable to Nomad, cash costs, cash costs per gold ounce sold and cash costs per silver ounce sold.

In addition to the non-IFRS performance measures described below, Nomad's royalty and stream revenues are converted to gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs") by dividing the gold royalty and stream revenues for a specific period by the average realized gold price per ounce for the same respective period. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are calculated by removing the effects of the non-cash cost of sales related to the gold prepay loan, the listing expenses and the income tax recovery resulting from the RTO Transaction, the non-cash change in fair value of the conversion option for the Deferred Payment to Yamana Gold and the non- cash change in fair value of gold prepay loan. The Company believes that, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance.

Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost of gold and silver on a per ounce basis from the average realized selling price of gold and silver on a per ounce basis. The Company presents cash operating margin as management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies who present results on a similar basis as well as to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow.

Average cash cost of gold and silver on a per ounce basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion and non-cash costs of sales related to the gold prepay loan, by the ounces sold. In addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow in comparison with other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry who present similar measures of performance.

The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is 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. Other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently.

Refer to the Non-IFRS and Other Measures section the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020.
