(a) During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company completed the following transactions:

Pine Valley Mineral Claims Sale

In June 2023, the Company sold the JR mineral claims that make up the Pine Valley property, which is part of the Cortez complex in Nevada, for $5.0 million in cash to Nevada Gold Mines, LLC, an entity formed by Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") and Newmont Corporation. As part of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company will retain a 3.0% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty on the Pine Valley property. The Company recognized a gain on sale of mineral claims of $5.0 million.

Conmee Mineral Claims Sale

In June 2023, the Company sold the Conmee mineral claims that make up the Tower Mountain property to Thunder Gold Corp. ("Thunder Gold") for 4,000,000 common shares of Thunder Gold, valued at $0.1 million upon closing. The Company will retain a 2.0% NSR royalty on the property. The Company recognized a gain on sale of mineral claims of $0.1 million.

Lama Royalties Acquisition

In March 2023, the Company acquired an existing 2.5%-3.75% sliding scale Gross Proceeds royalty over gold and a 0.25%-3.0% NSR royalty on all metals (other than gold and silver) on the majority of Barrick's Lama project located in Argentina from an arm's length seller for aggregate consideration of $6.5 million. The consideration consisted of $2.5 million in cash, $2.1 million in Common Shares upon closing, and an additional $2.5 million to be paid in cash or Common Shares, at the Company's sole discretion, within 90 days upon the earlier of a 2-million-ounce gold mineral Reserve estimate on the royalty area or 36 months after the closing date. The Company issued 466,827 Common Shares of Metalla to the arm's length seller (valued at $4.44 per share on March 9, 2023). The outstanding $2.5 million payment (the "Lama Payable") was recorded at fair value upon inception using a discount rate of 10.0% and an estimated payment date of 36 months from closing, and was recorded at $1.9 million. The Lama Payable has been disclosed as a non-current liability on the Company's statement of financial position as an acquisition payable and this amount will be increased to $2.5 million over the term of the payable using the effective interest method. The Company incurred $0.2 million in transaction costs associated with this transaction. The Company recognized less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million of accretion expense on the Lama Payable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Alamos Portfolio Acquisition

In February 2023, the Company acquired one silver stream and three royalties from Alamos Gold Corp. ("Alamos") for aggregate consideration of $4.2 million. Upon closing the Company issued 939,355 Common Shares to Alamos (valued at $4.42 per share on February 23, 2023). The Company incurred $0.1 million in transaction costs associated with this transaction. The stream and royalties acquired in this transaction included:

a 20% silver stream over the Esperanza project located in Morales, Mexico owned by Zacatecas Silver Corp.;
a 1.4% NSR royalty on the Fenn Gibb South project located in Timmins, Ontario owned by Mayfair Gold Corp.;
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Ronda project located in Shining Tree, Ontario owned by Platinex Inc.; and
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Northshore West property located in Thunder Bay, Ontario owned by New Path Resources Inc.

4. ROYALTY, STREAM, AND OTHER INTERESTS (cont'd…)

(b) During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed the following transactions:

Beaufor Amendment

In February 2022, the Company amended an existing 1.0% NSR royalty on Monarch Mining Corporation's ("Monarch") Beaufor Mine ("Beaufor"). In consideration for $1.0 million in cash paid to Monarch, Monarch agreed to waive a clause stipulating that payments under the NSR royalty were only payable after 100Koz of gold have been produced by Monarch following its acquisition of Beaufor.

Lac Pelletier Acquisition

In October 2022, the Company acquired a 1.0% NSR royalty on the Lac Pelletier project owned by Maritime Resources Corp. from an arm's length seller for total consideration of C$0.3 million in cash. The Lac Pelletier project is located in Rouyn Noranda, Quebec and is within ten kilometers of the Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana") Wasamac project. The Company incurred less than $0.1 million in transaction costs associated with this transaction.

First Majestic Portfolio Acquisition

In December 2022, the Company acquired a portfolio of eight royalties from First Majestic Silver Corp. ("First Majestic") for aggregate consideration of $21.6 million. Upon closing the Company issued 4,168,056 Common Shares (valued at $5.19 per share on December 21, 2022). The Company incurred $0.3 million in transaction costs associated with this transaction. The royalties acquired in this transaction included:

a 100% Gross Value Return ("GVR") royalty on gold production from the producing La Encantada mine operated by First Majestic limited to 1,000 ounces annually;
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the past producing Del Toro mine owned by First Majestic;
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the La Guitarra mine owned by Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd.;
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Plomosas project owned by GR Silver Mining Ltd.;
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the past-producing San Martin mine owned by First Majestic;
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the past producing La Parrilla mine owned by Silver Storm Mining Ltd.;
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the La Joya project owned by Silver Dollar Resources; and
a 2.0% NSR royalty on the La Luz project owned by First Majestic.

(c) Impairment

On November 3, 2023, Monarch announced that one of its creditors, that is owed C$10.1 million, had provided notice of its intention to exercise certain rights in respect of the security for its loan, with the loan secured by all assets of Monarch. The Beaufor mine was put on care and maintenance in September 2022, and Monarch’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, released on September 28, 2023, noted a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon Monarch’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company considered the serving of notice by one of its creditors, and the disclosure by Monarch about its ability to continue as a going concern, as indicators of impairment on Beaufor and fully impaired the royalty to $Nil, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million.

The Company owned a royalty on the Del Carmen project that was owned and operated by Barrick. In July 2023, the Company was notified that Barrick has terminated its agreement to explore and exploit the Del Carmen property and as a result of the termination the 0.5% NSR royalty owned by Metalla had also been terminated.

The Company considered this an indicator of impairment on its Del Carmen royalty, and fully impaired the royalty to $Nil, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million.

5. DERIVATIVE ROYALTY ASSET

In October 2020, the Company closed an agreement to acquire an existing 27.5% price participation royalty ("PPR") interest on the operating Higginsville Gold Operations ("Higginsville") owned by Karora Resources Inc.. Higginsville is a low-cost open pit gold operation in Higginsville, Western Australia. The royalty is a 27.5% PPR royalty on the difference between the average London PM fix gold price for the quarter and A$1,340/oz on the first 2,500 ounces per quarter for a cumulative total of 34,000 ounces of gold.

As the amount received by the Company will vary depending on changes in the London PM fix gold price and the changes in the exchange rate between the A$ and the US$, the Company has recognized the Higginsville PPR as a derivative asset carried at fair value through profit and loss. As per IFRS 9, the Higginsville PPR was recognized as a derivative asset upon inception at $7.2 million, any cash received from the Higginsville PPR will be used to reduce the derivative asset, and at each period-end the Company will estimate the fair value of the Higginsville PPR using a valuation model with any changes between the estimated fair value and the carrying value flowing through profit or loss in the period.

At September 30, 2023, the key inputs used in the Company's valuation model for the Higginsville PPR derivative asset were:

2,418 ounces of gold remaining to be delivered (December 31, 2022 - 9,918);
Gold price estimate of $1,871/oz (December 31, 2022 - $1,748/oz); and
U.S. dollar to Australian dollar exchange rate of A$1.55 per $1.00 (December 31, 2022 - A$1.49 per $1.00).

Based on the valuation model the Company estimated the fair value at September 30, 2023, was $0.6 million (December 31, 2022 - $2.2 million). The Company recorded mark-to-market gains on the Higginsville derivative asset of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (September 30, 2022 - $0.1 million gain and $0.5 million gain).

The changes in the derivative royalty asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were as follows:

6. INVESTMENT IN SILVERBACK

		Period ended
		September 30,			December 31,
		2023			2022
Opening balance	$	595		$	1,341
Income (loss) in Silverback for the period		63			(589	)
Distribution		(161	)		(157	)
Ending balance	$	497		$	595

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, holds a 15% interest in Silverback Ltd. ("Silverback"), which is a privately held company, whose sole business is the receipt and distribution of the net earnings of the New Luika Gold Mine ("NLGM") silver stream. Distributions to the shareholders are completed on a monthly basis. Prior to April 2021, distributions to shareholders were completed on an annual basis at minimum. Given the terms of the shareholders' agreement governing the policies over operations and distributions to shareholders, the Company's judgment is that it has significant influence over Silverback, but not control and therefore equity accounting is appropriate.

Summarized financial information for Silverback for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was as follows:

		Nine months ended
		September 30,
		2023			2022

Amended Loan Facility

In March 2019, the Company entered into a convertible loan facility (the "Loan Facility") of C$12.0 million with Beedie to fund acquisitions of new royalties and streams. The Loan Facility consisted of an initial advance of C$7.0 million (the "First Drawdown") with a conversion price of C$5.56 per share, with the remaining C$5.0 million available for subsequent advances, and carried an interest rate of 8.0% on drawn amounts, a standby fee on all undrawn funds of 2.5%, and a maturity date of April 22, 2023. The Loan Facility is secured by certain assets of the Company and can be repaid with no penalty at any time after the 12-month anniversary of each advance.

In July 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Facility (the "Amended Facility") under which the Company drew down the remaining undrawn C$5.0 million (the "Second Drawdown") with a conversion price of C$9.90 per share, and the Amended Facility was increased by an additional C$20.0 million. As part of the Amended Facility, all future advances will have a minimum amount of C$2.5 million and each advance will have its own conversion price based on a 20% premium to the 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of the Company's shares on the date of such advance. The standby fee on all undrawn funds was also amended to bear an interest rate of 1.5%. All other terms of the Amended Facility remained unchanged.

In August and October 2020, Beedie converted the First Drawdown at a conversion price of C$5.56 per share for a total of 1,258,992 Common Shares. In March 2021, Beedie converted the Second Drawdown at a conversion price of C$9.90 per share for a total of 505,050 Common Shares.

In March 2021, the Company drew down C$5.0 million (the "Third Drawdown") from the Amended Facility at a conversion price of C$14.30 per share, from the Loan Facility. In October 2021, the Company drew down C$3.0 million (the "Fourth Drawdown") from the Amended Facility at a conversion price of C$11.16 per share.

8. LOANS PAYABLE (cont'd…)

In August 2022, the Company and Beedie closed a first supplemental loan agreement to extend the maturity date of the Amended Facility from April 22, 2023, to January 22, 2024 (the "First Amendment"). In consideration for the First Amendment the Company incurred a fee of C$0.2 million (the "Loan Extension Fee"), which is deemed included in the principal amount outstanding under the Amended Facility and bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The Loan Extension Fee will be convertible into Common Shares at a conversion price of C$7.34 per share. Upon closing of the First Amendment, the Company recognized a gain of $0.3 million to reflect the change required in the amortized cost of the liability using the effective interest method over a longer period of time.

On May 19, 2023, the Company and Beedie closed a second supplemental loan agreement (the "Second Amendment") to amend the Amended Facility by:

i. extending the maturity date to May 9, 2027;

ii. increasing the loan facility by C$5.0 million from C$20.0 million to C$25.0 million, of which C$21.0 million will be undrawn after giving effect to the C$4.0 million conversion described below;

iii. increasing the interest rate from 8.0% to 10.0% per annum;

iv. amending the conversion price of the Fourth Drawdown from C$11.16 per share to C$8.67 per share, being a 30% premium to the 30-day VWAP of the Company shares measured at market close on the day prior to announcement of the Third Amendment;

v. amending the conversion price of C$4.0 million of the Third Drawdown from C$14.30 per share to C$7.33 per share, being the 5-day VWAP of the Company shares measured at market close on the day prior to announcement of the amendment, and converting the C$4.0 million into shares at the new conversion price. Upon closing the Company issued Beedie 545,702 Common Shares for the conversion of the C$4.0 million;

vi. amending the conversion price of the remaining C$1.0 million of the Third Drawdown from C$14.30 per share to C$8.67 per share, being to the 30-day VWAP of the Company shares measured at market close on the day prior to announcement of the Third Amendment; and

vii. all other terms of the loan facility remain unchanged.

As required by IFRS 9, the Second Amendment was considered a substantial modification of the Amended Facility, and for accounting purposes as per IFRS 9, the existing debt instruments were extinguished, and the new debt instruments were recognized at fair value on the amendment date. The difference in value between the amount that was retired for the old debt instrument and the amount recorded for the new debt instrument, taking into account the modification in conversion price to induce conversion of part of the old debt instrument, was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of loan payable of $1.4 million. Transaction costs of $0.1 million incurred on the Second Amendment were included in the loss on extinguishment of loan payable.

The amount the Company has to repay under the Amended Facility, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment (together the "Amended Loan Facility"), will vary depending on the changes in the exchange rate between the C$ and the US$, therefore the conversion feature portion of the Amended Loan Facility has been accounted for as a non-cash derivative loan liability and will be accounted at fair value through profit and loss. Upon initial recognition, on May 19, 2023, the derivative loan liability was assigned a fair value of $0.4 million using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Upon initial recognition the debt portion of the Amended Loan Facility was valued at $2.7 million, which is the difference between the face value of the debt of $3.1 million (C$4.2 million) and the value of the derivative loan liability of $0.4 million. The debt portion of the Amended Loan Facility has been accounted for at amortized cost using the implied effective interest rate of 14.6%.

- 13 -

8. LOANS PAYABLE (cont'd…)

A fair value gain of $0.3 million was recorded on the derivative loan liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The fair value of the derivative loan liability was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions as follows:

	September 30,	May 19,
	2023	2023
Risk free interest rate	4.9%	4.0%
Expected dividend yield	0.0%	0.0%
Expected stock price volatility	51.6%	51.0%
Expected life in years	1.8	2.0
Forfeiture rate	0.0%	0.0%

As at September 30, 2023, under the Amended Loan Facility the Company had C$4.0 million outstanding with a conversion price of C$8.67 per share from the Third Drawdown and Fourth Drawdown, C$0.2 million outstanding with a conversion price of C$7.34 per share from the Loan Extension Fee, and had C$21.0 million available under the Amended Loan Facility with the conversion price to be determined on the date of any future advances.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized finance charges of $0.1 million (September 30, 2022 - less than $0.1 million), and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized finance charges of $0.1 million (September 30, 2022 - $0.1 million) related to costs associated with the Amended Loan Facility, including standby fees on the undrawn portion of the Amended Loan Facility, as well as set up and other associated costs.

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company announced that in connection with the Nova Transaction (as defined in Note 17), Metalla had entered into an amended and restated convertible loan facility which will become effective at the close of the Nova Transaction (For additional details see Note 17).

Castle Mountain Loan

In connection with the Castle Mountain acquisition in October 2021, the Company entered into a $5.0 million loan agreement (the "Castle Mountain Loan") with the arm's length seller bearing interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum until fully repaid on June 1, 2023. On March 30, 2023, the Company signed an amendment to extend the maturity date of the Castle Mountain Loan from June 1, 2023, to April 1, 2024. As part of the amendment, on March 31, 2023, the Company paid the $0.3 million accrued interest on the loan, effective April 1, 2023, the interest rate increased to 12.0% per annum, and the principal and accrued interest will be repaid no later than April 1, 2024. On July 7, 2023, the Company paid all accrued interest due at the time on the Castle Mountain Loan and made a principal repayment of $4.3 million and as at September 30, 2023, had a total of $0.7 million of principal and accrued interest owing on the Castle Mountain Loan.

The Company classified its financial instruments as follows:

		As at

Fair value through profit or loss:
Derivative loan liability		131		-
Total financial liabilities	$	6,962	$	11,871

Fair value

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

a) Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

b) Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and

c) Level 3 - Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

Cash, accounts receivables (royalty, derivative royalty, and stream receivables, and other receivables), and accounts payable (trade and other payables), are carried at amortized cost. Their carrying value approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments or because they reflect amounts that are receivable to the Company without further adjustments. Marketable securities are carried at fair value and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The derivative royalty asset is carried at fair value, and was valued using inputs that are not observable, including a gold forward price curve, US$/A$ foreign exchange rates based on forward curves, and an estimated discount rate (Note 5). Therefore, the derivative royalty asset is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans payable and acquisition payables are carried at amortized cost. The fair values of the Company's loans payable are approximated by their carrying values as the interest rates are comparable to market interest rates. The derivative loan liability is carried at fair value, and was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with inputs that are not observable (Note 8). Therefore, the derivative loan liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont'd…)

Capital risk management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximization of the profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating and metal price risks while safeguarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The capital of the Company consists of share capital. The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company may issue new shares in order to meet its financial obligations. The management of the Company believes that the capital resources of the Company as at September 30, 2023, are sufficient for its present needs for at least the next twelve months. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash deposits, as well as credit exposures to counterparties of outstanding receivables and committed transactions. There is no significant concentration of credit risk other than cash deposits. The Company's cash deposits are primarily held with a Canadian chartered bank. Receivables include value added tax due from the Canadian government. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall, the Company's credit risk has not declined from the prior year.

Liquidity risk

The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from royalty interests, its holdings of cash, and its committed liabilities. The maturities of the Company's non‐current liabilities are disclosed in Note 4 and Note 8. All current liabilities are settled within one year.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company primarily operates in Canada, Australia, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States and incurs expenditures in currencies other than United States dollars. Thereby, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. Based on the above net exposure, as at September 30, 2023, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1% depreciation or appreciation of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Argentinian peso, and Mexican peso would result in an increase/decrease in the Company's pre-tax income or loss of approximately less than $0.1 million.

16. COMMITMENTS

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had the following contractual obligations:

		Less than		1 to		Over		Total
		1 year		3 years		3 years		Total
Trade and other payables	$	1,507	$	-	$	-	$	1,507

Total commitments	$	2,765	$	3,577	$	3,389	$	9,731

In addition to the commitments above, the Company could in the future have additional commitments payable in cash and/or shares related to the acquisition of royalty and stream interests. However, these payments are subject to certain triggers or milestone conditions that have not been met as of September 30, 2023.

17. EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE

Subsequent to the period end, the Company:

Announced that the Company had entered into an arrangement agreement dated September 7, 2023, whereby Metalla would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nova Royalty Corp. ("Nova") pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Nova Transaction"). Pursuant to the Nova Transaction, Nova shareholders will receive 0.36 of a Metalla Common Share per common share of Nova. The Nova Transaction is subject to approval at a special meeting of Nova shareholders which is scheduled for November 27, 2023.
