Financial Review
Revenues
Revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $503 million (65% gold, 33% silver,
1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $204 million increase relative to the
prior period quarter being primarily due to a 32% increase in the average
realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 28% increase in the number of GEOs³
sold.
Revenue was $974 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a
$378 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year due
primarily to a 34% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price;
and a 22% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.
Cash Costs and Margin
Average cash costs¹ in the second quarter of 2025 were $470 per GEO³ as
compared to $437 in the second quarter of 2024. This resulted in a cash
operating margin¹ of $2,717 per GEO³ sold, an increase of 37% as compared
with the second quarter of 2024, a result of the higher realized price per
ounce. The higher margin reflects the leverage provided by fixed per-ounce
production payments across the majority of Wheaton's operating streams, which
accounted for 85% of revenue during the quarter. Notably, year-over-year
margin growth exceeded the appreciation in gold prices over the same period,
underscoring the effectiveness of Wheaton's business model in leveraging
rising commodity prices while maintaining strong cash operating margins.
Average cash costs¹ for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $458 per
GEO³ as compared to $435 in the comparable period of the previous year. This
resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $2,554 per GEO³ sold, a 41% increase
from comparable period of the previous year, a result of the higher realized
price per ounce.
Cash Flow from Operations
Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2025 amounted to $415 million,
with the $181 million increase from the comparable period of the prior year,
due primarily to the higher gross margin.
Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $776
million, with the $322 million increase from the comparable period of the
previous year being due primarily to the higher gross margin.
Produced But Not Yet Delivered
As at June 30, 2025, approximately 130,000 GEOs were produced but not yet
delivered ("PBND") representing approximately 2.7 months of payable
production. Total PBND ounces decreased quarter-over-quarter as strong
production levels in the first quarter of 2025, resulted in an increase to
sales realized in the second quarter of 2025, due to the inherent timing delay
between production and sales. The Company expects PBND levels to stay at the
higher end of its forecasted range of two to three months until the end of
2025, in part due to the ramp up of new mines, forecast to commence operations
in the second half of the year.
Balance Sheet (at June 30, 2025)
· Approximately $1.0 billion of cash on hand.
· The Company extended its existing undrawn $2 billion revolving term
loan (the "Revolving Facility") with its maturity date now June 30, 2030. In
addition, the Company added an incremental $500 million accordion feature,
providing expanded financial capacity.
· During the second quarter of 2025, the Company made total upfront cash
payments of $347 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting
of:
o $156 million relative to the Koné PMPA;
o $144 million relative to the Salobo III expansion;
o $44 million relative to the Kurmuk PMPA; and
o $3 million relative to the Cangrejos PMPA.
· Subsequent to the quarter, the Company made additional upfront cash
payments of $206 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting
of:
o $156 million relative to the Koné PMPA; and
o $50 million relative to the Fenix PMPA.
· With the existing cash on hand coupled with the fully undrawn $2
billion revolving facility coupled with the $500 million accordion and ongoing
operating cash flows, the Company believes it is well positioned to fund all
outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing
flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.
Senior Management Promotions
On June 18, 2025, Wheaton was pleased to announce key senior management
promotions as the Company positions itself for its next era of innovation and
growth. Effective June 30, 2025, Haytham Hodaly, formerly Senior Vice
President of Corporate Development, was appointed to President of the Company.
In addition, Curt Bernardi, formerly Senior Vice President Legal and Strategic
Development, was promoted to Executive Vice President, Strategy and General
Counsel. Randy Smallwood remains the Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton.
Second Quarter Operating Asset Highlights
Salobo: In the second quarter of 2025, Salobo produced 69,400 ounces of
attributable gold, an increase of approximately 10% relative to the second
quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher throughput, partially offset by lower
grades. On July 22, 2025, Vale S.A. ("Vale") announced that following the
implementation of Salobo 3, the Salobo complex has reached full ramp-up and is
consistently delivering strong operational performance.
Antamina: In the second quarter of 2025, Antamina produced 1.3 million ounces
of attributable silver, an increase of approximately 31% relative to the
second quarter of 2024 primarily due to higher grades, partially offset by
lower recoveries and the impacts of a full safety shutdown which lasted
approximately one week.
Peñasquito: In the second quarter of 2025, Peñasquito produced 2.1 million
ounces of attributable silver, a decrease of approximately 7% relative to the
second quarter of 2024, primarily the result of lower grades as mining
activities have transitioned back into the Peñasco pit which contains lower
silver grades relative to the Chile Colorado pit.
Constancia: In the second quarter of 2025, Constancia produced 0.6 million
ounces of attributable silver and 4,600 ounces of attributable gold, an
increase of approximately 22% for silver production and a decrease of
approximately 27% for gold production relative to the second quarter of 2024.
The decrease in gold was primarily the result of lower grades as more material
was mined from the Constancia pit and reclaimed from the stockpile compared
with the prior year. On July 3, 2025, it was reported that protests by
informal miners in Peru led to intermittent roadblocks along the Southern Road
Corridor, impacting major copper operations including Hudbay's Constancia mine
and MMG Limited's Las Bambas mine(8). MMG Limited later confirmed that
transportation resumed as of July 15, 2025, following an agreement by
artisanal miners to lift the blockades. Wheaton's second quarter deliveries
from Constancia remained unaffected by these temporary disruptions.
San Dimas: In the second quarter of 2025, San Dimas produced 7,000 ounces of
attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 1% relative to the second
quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower grades and recovery as well as the
change of the gold to silver conversion ratio from 70:1 to 90:1, partially
offset by higher throughput. In accordance with the San Dimas PMPA, effective
April 30, 2025, the fixed gold to silver conversion ratio has been revised
from 70:1 to 90:1. (see footnote 4 on page 13 of this press release for more
information).
Stillwater: In the second quarter of 2025, the Stillwater mines produced 1,700
ounces of attributable gold and 2,400 ounces of attributable palladium, a
decrease of approximately 21% for gold and 44% for palladium relative to the
second quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower throughput as Stillwater West
operations were placed into care and maintenance in September 2024.
Voisey's Bay: In the second quarter of 2025, the Voisey's Bay mine produced
647,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, an increase of approximately 150%
relative to the second quarter of 2024, as the transitional period between the
depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey's
Bay underground continues. On April 15, 2025, Vale reported the consistent
ramp-up of Voisey's Bay's underground operations. The full ramp-up is expected
by the second half of 2026.
Other Gold: In the second quarter of 2025, total Other Gold attributable
production was 4,800 ounces, an increase of approximately 721% relative to the
second quarter of 2024 due to the initial reported production from the
Blackwater Mine, which achieved commercial production on May 1, 2025. Notable
operational updates for assets included within 'other gold' include:
· Blackwater: On May 2, 2025, Artemis Gold announced the commencement
of commercial production at its Blackwater mine, with mining operations
exceeding 90% of its planned tonnage, and both mined tonnes and grades
reconciling favorably to the resource model. On June 19, 2025, Artemis Gold
announced the acceleration of the design and implementation of Phase 2 of the
Blackwater Mine, with a final investment decision by their board anticipated
by year-end 2025. On July 14, 2025, Artemis Gold announced that it had further
ramped up operations and was producing at a steady state with the mill
operating above design capacity for the month of June. Artemis Gold also notes
that gold production is expected to be weighted to the second half of the
year.
· Marmato: On May 7, 2025, Aris Mining Corporation ("Aris") reported
that the processing plant capacity increased from 4,000 tpd to a planned 5,000
tpd. Aris reports that construction remains on track, and production is
expected to start ramping up in the second half of 2026.
Other Silver: In the second quarter of 2025, total Other Silver attributable
production was 1.5 million ounces, an increase of approximately 8% relative to
the second quarter of 2024, as the initial reported production from Blackwater
was offset by lower production at Los Filos.
Recent Development Asset Updates
Goose Project: On June 30, 2025, B2Gold announced the first gold pour at its
Goose project, with the mill running consistently at approximately 50% of
nameplate capacity during this initial phase, as planned. B2Gold expects a
ramp up to commercial production in the third quarter of 2025.
Mineral Park Project: During the quarter, Waterton's Origin Mining achieved a
key milestone by introducing first ore to the mill at its Mineral Park
project. Waterton indicates that the ramp-up to commercial production is
underway and expected to be reached during the second half of 2025. At steady
state throughput, the fully refurbished mill capacity will be 16.5 Mtpa.
Platreef Project: On July 30, 2025, Ivanhoe Mines ("Ivanhoe") announced that
development ore is now being hoisted to surface and stockpiled in preparation
for the initial feed into the Phase 1 concentrator, which continues advancing

three-phase expansion plan, which aims to make Platreef one of the world's
largest producers of platinum, palladium, rhodium, and gold. Ivanhoe notes
that Phase 2 expansion activities are underway and on track for first
production in Q4 2027.
Fenix Project: On July 31, 2025, Rio2 Limited ("Rio2") reported that
construction was 41% complete, and remains on track and on budget for first
gold production in Q1 2026. Rio2 reports the leach pad will be ready to
receive minerals in August 2025, with completion of the Mine Expansion Study
targeted for December 2025.
Kurmuk Project: On August 6, 2025, Allied Gold Corporation ("Allied") reported
that engineering and procurement are approximately 90% complete, with mining
fleet mobilization well underway and first units expected to arrive on site
imminently. Concurrently, Allied is advancing technical studies aimed at
improving operational confidence and flexibility, including potential
increases in plant throughput and other targeted optimizations. Allied
continues to forecast the commencement of production by mid-2026.
El Domo Project: On April 23, 2025, Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp")
reported that it is targeting to bring the project into production by the end
of 2026. The construction of the main plant and auxiliary facilities are
expected to commence in September 2025, with major equipment installation
expected to commence in May 2026. On August 5, 2025, Silvercorp announced that
the Constitutional Court of Ecuador has delivered a unanimous decision to
uphold the validity of the environmental license for the El Domo project.
Koné Project: On May 27, 2025, Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage") provided a
construction update for its Koné project, where construction continues to
progress rapidly and remains well on track for first gold pour in Q2 2027.
Montage notes that significant progress has been made on the key ongoing
workstreams which include the water storage and abstraction facility, and camp
construction. Notably, the carbon-in-leach ring beams were completed two
months ahead of schedule, marking a key milestone. On July 21, 2025, Montage
reported that its exploration program continues to provide significant
confidence in achieving the previously published short-term exploration target
of discovering more than 1Moz of Measured and Indicated Resources. As a result
of ongoing successful results and drilling efficiency, Montage states that its
exploration program has increased from 90,000 meters to 120,000 meters in
2025.

reported that it is at an advanced stage in its partnership process and
expects to announce a partner during Q3 2025. A potential project sanctioning
decision is not anticipated prior to mid-2026.
Marathon Project: On May 22, 2025, Generation Mining Ltd. announced that it
has received the final key permit required for the construction of the
Marathon project in Northwestern Ontario. The Environmental Compliance

1) All figures in thousands except gold and palladium ounces produced.
2) Quantity produced represents the amount of gold, silver, palladium and
cobalt contained in concentrate or doré prior to smelting or refining
deductions. Production figures and payable rates are based on information
provided by the operators of the mining operations to which the mineral stream
interests relate or management estimates in those situations where other
information is not available. Certain production figures and payable rates may
be updated in future periods as additional information is received.
3) Comprised of the Coleman, Copper Cliff, Garson, Creighton, Stobie and
Totten gold interests.
4) Under the terms of the San Dimas PMPA, the Company is entitled to an
amount equal to 25% of the payable gold production plus an additional amount
of gold equal to 25% of the payable silver production converted to gold at a
fixed gold to silver exchange ratio of 70:1 from the San Dimas mine. If the
average gold to silver price ratio decreases to less than 50:1 or increases to
more than 90:1 for a period of 6 months or more, then the "70" shall be
revised to "50" or "90", as the case may be, until such time as the average
gold to silver price ratio is between 50:1 to 90:1 for a period of 6 months or
more in which event the "70" shall be reinstated. Effective April 30, 2025,
the fixed gold to silver exchange ratio has been revised to 90:1. For
reference, attributable silver production from prior periods is as follows: Q2
2025 - 311,000 ounces; Q1 2025 - 340,000 ounces; Q4 2024 - 295,000 ounces; Q3
2024 - 262,000 ounces; Q2 2024 - 285,000 ounces; Q1 2024 - 291,000 ounces; Q4
2023 - 378,000 ounces; Q3 2023 - 387,000 ounces.
5) Comprised of the Stillwater and East Boulder gold and palladium
interests. On September 12, 2024, Sibanye Stillwater ("Sibanye") announced
that as a result of low palladium prices it was placing the Stillwater West
operations into care and maintenance, while using Stillwater East and East
Boulder operations to improve efficiencies that could get Stillwater West back
to production as prices permit.
6) There was a temporary suspension of operations at Peñasquito due to a
labour strike which ran from June 7, 2023 to October 13, 2023.
7) On April 1, 2025, Equinox Gold Corp., reported it has indefinitely
suspended operations at Los Filos following the expiry of its land access
agreement with the community of Carrizalillo on March 31, 2025.
8) On September 12, 2023, it was announced that the production of the zinc
and lead concentrates at the Aljustrel mine will be halted from September 24,
2023 until the third quarter of 2025.
9) GEOs, which are provided to assist the reader, are based on the
following commodity price assumptions: $2,600 per ounce gold; $30.00 per ounce
silver; $950 per ounce palladium; and $13.50 per pound cobalt; consistent with
those used in estimating the Company's production guidance for
2025.

Non-GAAP Measures
Wheaton has included, throughout this document, certain non-GAAP performance
measures, including (i) adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per
share; (ii) operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted); (iii) average
cash costs of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a
per pound basis; and (iv) cash operating margin.
i. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are
calculated by removing the effects of non-cash impairment charges
(reversals) (if any), non-cash fair value (gains) losses and other one-time
(income) expenses as well as the reversal of non-cash income tax expense
(recovery) which is offset by income tax expense (recovery) recognized in the
Statements of Shareholders' Equity and OCI, respectively. The Company believes
that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS
Accounting Standards, management and certain investors use this information to
evaluate the Company's performance.
The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings and
adjusted net earnings per share (basic and diluted).

Adjusted earnings per share - diluted $ 0.629 $ 0.329 $ 1.181 $ 0.635
ii. Operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted) is calculated by
dividing cash generated by operating activities by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding (basic and diluted). The Company presents operating cash
flow per share as management and certain investors use this information to
evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other companies in the
precious metal mining industry who present results on a similar basis.
The following table provides a reconciliation of operating cash flow per share
(basic and diluted).

Operating cash flow per share - diluted $ 0.913 $ 0.516 $ 1.707 $ 1.000
iii. Average cash cost of gold, silver and palladium on a per ounce basis
and cobalt on a per pound basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of
sales, less depletion and cost of sales related to delay ounces, by the ounces
or pounds sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common
performance measure but does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by
IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition to conventional measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, management and certain investors
use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to
generate cash flow.

silver and palladium on a per ounce basis and cobalt on a per pound basis.

Cautionary Language Regarding Reserves and Resources
For further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on
Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Wheaton's Annual Information
Form for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed on March 31, 2025
and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1,
2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Wheaton's Mineral Reserves and
Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth
therein. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have
demonstrated economic viability.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured,
Indicated and Inferred Resources: The information contained herein has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect
in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities
laws. The Company reports information regarding mineral properties,
mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources in
accordance with Canadian reporting requirements which are governed by, and
utilize definitions required by, Canadian National Instrument 43-101 -
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian
Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition
Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM
Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). These definitions differ from the
definitions adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") which are applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, there
is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may
report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured
mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral
resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the
reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted by the SEC.
Accordingly, information contained herein that describes Wheaton's mineral
deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S.
companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under the United
States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in
Wheaton's Form 40-F, a copy of which may be obtained from Wheaton or from
