Wheaton Precious Metals Announces Passing of Founding Director

 

Vancouver, British Columbia - Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. ("Wheaton" or
the "Company") is deeply saddened to announce the passing of founding board
member, Peter Gillin, who passed away on May 2, 2025, after courageously
facing health challenges.

Mr. Gillin brought more than four decades of experience in the mining and
financial sectors to Wheaton, serving with distinction as a dedicated member
of Wheaton's Board of Directors for over twenty years. During his tenure, he
held key positions including former Chair of the Compensation Committee, and
member of the Governance and Sustainability and Audit Committees, where his
leadership and expertise played a vital role in guiding Wheaton's growth and
success. Mr. Gillin had previously announced his planned retirement ahead of
the Company's 2025 Annual General Meeting.

"As our longest serving Director, Peter's unwavering integrity, strategic
insight, and dedication were instrumental in building Wheaton into the company
it is today," said Randy Smallwood, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Wheaton. "He was not only a respected leader, but a trusted colleague and
friend. On behalf of the board of directors, management, and staff, we extend
our deepest condolences to Peter's family and loved ones during this difficult
time."

"Peter will be remembered not only for his outstanding professional
contributions, but also for his wisdom, humour, and generous spirit," said
George Brack, Chair of the Board of Directors of Wheaton. "He will be greatly
missed by all who had the privilege of working with him."

In memory of Mr. Gillin and in honour of his legacy, Wheaton will make an
increased contribution to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada to support
their ongoing efforts in research, prevention, and care.
