Royal Gold, Inc., a leading precious metals royalty company, owns and manages royalties primarily on precious metals mines, with a focus on gold. Royal Gold, Inc. royalty portfolio provides investors with a unique opportunity to capture value in the precious metals sector without incurring many of the costs and risks associated with mine operations. A royalty is simply a right to receive a percentage of production from a mine. By investing in a royalty, Royal Gold buys a percentage of the metal produced from a given property in exchange for a front end payment, without assuming any responsibility for the actual mining operation. Thus, the Company does not have to contribute to the operating and capital costs at the mines.

Since the original Utah Copper Company began mining the low-grade copper ore in Bingham Canyon, the mine has become a huge open-pit that has produced more copper than any mine in the world, is one of the engineering marvels of the world, and is more than ¾ of a mile deep and more than 2 ¾ miles wide at the top. And it is still growing. Known as “The Richest Hole on Earth” it has yielded more than 18.1 million tons of copper metal, plus significant by-products gold, silver and molybdenum. Ore from the Mine is transported by a five-mile conveyor to the Copperton Concentrator where the rock containing about 0.6 percent copper is crushed and ground to face powder consistency before passing through a chemical flotation process where 28-percent copper concentrate is separated from molybdenite concentrate, which is packaged and sold to steel producers. Seventeen miles to the north, the state of the art Utah Copper Smelter processes the copper concentrate to produce 720-pound copper plates called anodes for use in the nearby Refinery. The copper is now 99.6 percent pure. In the Refinery, the anodes are alternated with thin stainless steel cathode blanks in horizontal tanks filled with liquid electrolyte into which an electric current creates the chemical electrolysis process. Electrolytic refining produces two, 280-pound copper cathodes from each anode during a 10-day period. Cathodes are 99.99 percent pure copper. Impurities and precious metals that settle in the bottom of the tanks, are collected and refined at the Precious Metals Plant.

Philex Gold Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company active in the Philippines. Its interests include the Silangan Project (formerly Boyongan Project) on Mindanao Island. A joint venture with Anglo American Exploration (Philippines), B.V.(Anglo) led to the discovery of the Boyongan copper-gold porphyry deposit in 2000 and the Bayugo in 2003. Philex Gold operated the Bulawan gold mine from 1996 until 2002, and owns a number of gold prospects throughout the Philippines. The Philippines have a long history of mining and one of the highest mineral endowments in the world, but have undergone minimal exploration in recent years. Philex Gold Inc. Company was created in 1996. Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the Company's business was operated as a division of Philex Mining Corporation (PMC). In 1996 the gold operations of PMC were transferred to a subsidiary, Philex Gold Philippines, Inc. (PGPI) in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PGPI. The Company then acquired all of the outstanding shares of PGPI.As a result of this reorganization, the Company became the successor-owner of substantially all of PMC's gold properties in the Philippines.
