2. Basis of preparation and Significant accounting policies
2.1 Statement of compliance
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to the presentation 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 annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s board of directors (the "Board") on November 4, 2024.
2.2 Basis of presentation
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. 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 thousand except where otherwise indicated.
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 December 31, 2023. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Gold Royalty Corp. and the following wholly-owned subsidiaries:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | % Equity Interest as at |
Name of subsidiary | | Country of Incorporation | | Functional Currency | | September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Ely Gold Royalties Inc. | | Canada | | U.S. dollar | | 100% | | 100% |
Nevada Select Royalty, Inc. | | USA | | U.S. dollar | | 100% | | 100% |

All subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Company obtained control until the date that its control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from the subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process. The accounts of all subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

3. IFRS Pronouncement
3.1 Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early application permitted. Management is currently assessing the effect of these amendments on our financial statements.
3.2 IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. Management is currently assessing the effect of this new standard on our financial statements.
3.3 Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements titled Non-current Liabilities with Covenants. These amendments seek to improve the information that an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within 12 months after the reporting period. These amendments to IAS 1 override and incorporate the previous amendments, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, issued in January 2020, which clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. The amendments were effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and adoption of these amendments did not have an effect on our financial statements.

6. Gold-linked loan
On December 19, 2023 (the "Advance Date"), the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Borborema Inc. (the "Borrower"), providing the Borrower with project financing for its Borborema Project of $10,000. The loan is secured against certain assets of the Borrower, and bears interest at 110 ounces of gold per quarter, and is payable through cash settlement or physical delivery of gold. The Borrower has the option to prepay the loan with all interest accrued and unpaid after 24 months following the Advance Date. The Borrower will have the option to elect its choice of payment (the "Prepayment Option").
The loan is classified as a financial asset and measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The Prepayment Option has been accounted for as part of the fair value of the loan in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The fair value of the loan is remeasured on the reporting date and the change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
As at September 30, 2024, the fair value of the loan has been estimated using a discounted cash-flow approach based on the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.25%, calibrated credit spread of 3.12%, estimated long-term gold price of $2,022 per ounce and expected volatility of gold of 15.34%. The Company recorded a fair value gain on the loan of $400 (2023: $nil) and $1,350 (2023: $nil) in change in fair value of gold-linked loan in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The Facility, secured by the Company's assets, is for general corporate use, acquisitions, and investments subject to certain limitations. Interest rates for amounts drawn are based on the U.S. dollar Base Rate plus 3.00% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR plus 4.00% per annum. Undrawn amounts incur a standby fee of 0.90% per annum.
On February 8, 2022, and February 24, 2022, the Company drew down $3,000 and $7,000, respectively.

8. Convertible debentures
On December 15, 2023, the Company completed a private placement of $40,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") with Queen's Road Capital Investment Ltd. ("QRC") and Taurus Mining Royalty Fund L.P., a fund managed by Taurus Funds Management Pte Limited. The Debentures are unsecured and bear interest at 10% per annum over a 5-year term, interest is payable 70% in cash and 30% in GRC Shares issuable at a price equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price ("VWAP") calculated at each interest payment date.
The Company identified the Debentures as compound financial instruments. In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the liability component excluding the Redemption Option (the "Host Contract") are classified as debt instruments and are measured at amortized cost.
The Company will be entitled to redeem the Debentures at par within a period of fourteen days from the third anniversary of the date of the issuance of the Debentures. Should the Company exercise its right to redeem the Debentures during this period, the holders are entitled to convert all of the outstanding Debentures into GRC Shares at a conversion price of US$1.73 (the "Redemption Option"). The Redemption Option is identified as embedded derivatives in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and estimated at $1,951 on the issuance (Note 9).
The Debentures will be convertible at the holder's option into GRC Shares at a conversion price of $1.90 (the "Conversion Option"). As the number of GRC Shares to be issued under the Conversion Option is determined as the converted amount of the Debentures divided by the fixed conversion price of $1.90, the Conversion Option was accounted for separately as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The Conversion Option was recognized at the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component, in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
On the issuance date, the principal of $23,471 was allocated to the Host Contract, $1,951 was allocated to the Redemption Option as embedded derivatives (Note 9) and the residual value of $14,578 was allocated to the Conversion Option as equity. A deferred tax liability of $2,309 related to the taxable temporary difference arising from the equity portion of the Debentures was recognized as an offset in equity. The Company incurred transaction costs and fees of $1,481 for the issuance of the Debentures, of which $943 was allocated as a reduction to the liability portion and the residual value of $538 was allocated as reduction to the Conversion Option as equity.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized interest expense of $1,053 (2023: $nil) and $3,152 (2023: $nil) and accretion of $454 (2023: $nil) and $1,275 (2023: $nil), respectively.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:
•Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company's short-term investments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently revalued to their fair market value at each period end based on inputs such as quoted equity prices. The Company's short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the gold-linked loan is classified as Level 3 and is determined based on a discounted cash flow approach, which includes significant inputs not based on observable market data such as long-term gold price and expected volatility of gold.
The Company's long-term investment is initially recorded at fair value and subsequently revalued to its fair market value at each period end based on inputs such as quoted equity prices. The fair value of the long-term investment is classified as Level 3 and measured based on data such as the price paid by arm's length parties in recent transactions.
The fair value of the embedded derivative related to the convertible debentures is classified as Level 3 and is determined using the White Hull one factor model, which includes significant inputs not based on observable market data such as expected credit spread.
The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short term to maturity. Bank loan, convertible debentures, and lease obligations are measured at amortized cost. The fair value of the bank loan and lease obligations approximate their carrying values as their interest rates are comparable to current market rates. The fair value of the convertible debentures approximates their carrying values as there were not significant changes in economic and risk parameters or assumptions related to the convertible debentures since the issuance.
14.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, equity price risk and interest rate 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 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.
14.2 Credit 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, accounts receivable and gold-linked loan. The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash with Schedule I chartered banks in Canada and their US affiliates. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents in excess of the amount of government deposit insurance coverage for each financial institution. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets.
14.3 Liquidity 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 September 30, 2024, was $2,306 compared to $1,695 as at December 31, 2023. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.
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. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account the anticipated cash flows from operating activities and its holding of cash and short-term investments. The Company believes it has the adequate liquidity to meet its obligations and to finance its planned activities.

14.4 Currency 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, short-term investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are minimal.
14.5 Equity price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk associated with its investments in other mining companies. The Company's short-term investments consisting of common shares are exposed to significant equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature of the businesses in which the investments are held. Based on the Company's short-term investments held as at September 30, 2024, a 10% change in the market price of these investments would have an impact of approximately $14 on net loss. The Company is not exposed to significant equity price risk related to its marketable securities.
14.6 Interest rate risk
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash and secured revolving credit facility, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash balances are minimal. The Company's secured revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate determined by reference to the U.S. dollar Base Rate plus a margin of 3.00% or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 4.00%, as applicable and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis point in the applicable rate of interest would not have a significant impact on the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company's lease liability is determined using the interest rate implicit in the lease and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis points would not have a significant impact on the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
