INTRODUCTION
We began searching for our first gold streams during the depths of the global financial crisis in 2008. We had little in the way of cash, but we made up for our lack of resources with a big vision; to reshape the finance landscape in the mining sector with innovative financing solutions. Stream and royalty finance has since become a mainstream funding source for resource companies of all sizes, and Sandstorm has been a significant part of that evolution. In fact, during the last five years close to $14 billion in stream and royalty transactions were completed in the mining industry.

At the end of 2009, Sandstorm had three gold 22 streams in the portfolio, an outlook for modest cash flow and the drive to aggressively grow 200 and diversify our asset base. With over 200 1 1 0
streams and royalties at the time of this 1 writing, I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish thus far. 1
