Vancouver, British Columbia - Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. ("Wheaton" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has been named as one of
Corporate Knights' 2024 Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada.

 

"We are incredibly honoured to be ranked among the top 10 companies on
Corporate Knights' annual list of the Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada,"
said Randy Smallwood, Wheaton's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Wheaton is committed to positively contributing to society by supporting the
communities in which we live and operate as well as providing capital and
support to mining partners that share our values and demonstrate responsible
mining practices."

The Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada are evaluated on a set of 25 key
performance indicators to assess how firms manage their resources, employees
and finances in comparison to their peer group, with 50% of each company's
score tied to the percentage of their revenue and investments that qualify as
sustainable.

"With a significant portion of the score linked to sustainable revenue, this
metric underscores the exceptional quality of Wheaton's mining partners and
highlights the rigorous due diligence process we employ," said Patrick Drouin,
Chief Sustainability Officer and President of Wheaton Precious Metals
International.
