PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
To the Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus dated April 20, 2020

SANDSTORM GOLD LTD.

4,071,358 Common Shares

This prospectus supplement (the “prospectus supplement”) of Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm Gold” or the “Corporation”), together with the accompanying short form base prospectus to which this prospectus supplement relates dated April 20, 2020 (the “prospectus”) qualifies for distribution the issuance of up to 4,071,358 common shares of the Corporation (the “Common Shares”) issuable from time to time, on exercise of up to 4,071,358 Warrants (as defined herein) issued by the Corporation on November 3, 2015 pursuant to the Unit Offering (as defined herein); and (ii) such indeterminate number of additional Common Shares that may be issuable by reason of the anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrant Indenture (as defined herein). The Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares”. See “Description of Warrants” for additional information on the terms of the Warrants.

On October 27, 2015, the Corporation filed a prospectus supplement (the “2015 Supplement”) to a base shelf prospectus dated September 1, 2015 in each of the provinces of Canada except Quebec and a registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-206476), principally filed on August 20, 2015, as amended September 1, 2015, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the offering (the “Unit Offering”) by the Corporation of 10,087,800 units of the Corporation (the “Units”) at a price of US$2.85 per Unit pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated October 27, 2015 between the Corporation and National Bank Financial Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). Each Unit consisted of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Corporation (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Warrant Share upon payment of US$4.00, subject to adjustment, at any time prior to 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 3, 2020. The Unit Offering was completed on November 3, 2015. The exercise price of the Warrants was determined by negotiation between the Corporation and the Underwriters. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information on the Unit Offering.

On April 20, 2020, the Corporation filed the prospectus in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and a registration statement in the United States on Form F-10 (File No. 333-237619), originally filed on April 9, 2020 and as amended and declared effective by the SEC on April 20, 2020, with the SEC, of which this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus form a part (the “Registration Statement”). This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Reference is made to such Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto for further information with respect to us and the Warrant Shares.

This prospectus supplement replaces the 2015 Supplement and registers the offering and issuance of the Warrant Shares under the U.S. Securities Act (as defined herein) in accordance with the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the SEC and the securities commission or similar regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (“MJDS”). This prospectus supplement does not qualify the distribution of the Warrant Shares in any of the provinces or territories of Canada.

The Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “SSL” and, since February 21, 2020, on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “SAND”. Prior to February 21, 2020, the Common Shares were listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “SSL” and on the NYSE American under the symbol “SAND”. On October 9, 2020, the last trading day on the TSX before the date of this prospectus supplement, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was C$11.45 and the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE was US$8.73. The Warrants are listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “SSL.WT”. On October 9, 2020, the last trading day before the date of this prospectus supplement, the closing price of the Warrants on the TSX was C$6.18.

We are permitted, under MJDS, to prepare this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from United States disclosure requirements. We prepare our financial statements, which are incorporated by reference herein, in United States dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies. Financial statements which will be deemed incorporated by reference herein in the future, or which may form part of a prospectus supplement in the future, will be prepared in accordance with IFRS.

No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of, or has performed any review of, this prospectus supplement. 

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition and disposition of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such tax consequences may not be fully described herein. Investors should read the tax discussion in this prospectus supplement and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because the Corporation is incorporated in Canada, most of the officers and directors and most of the experts named in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus are not residents of the United States, and many of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. See “Enforceability of Certain Civil Liabilities”.

Neither the SEC, ANY Canadian securities regulator, nor any state securities regulator, has approved or disapproved the Securities offered hereby or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS or determined if this prospectus SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS IS truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

Investing in the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants is highly speculative and involves significant risks that you should consider before exercising such Warrants. The risks outlined in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein should all be carefully reviewed and considered by prospective investors in connection with an exercise of the Warrants. See “Risk Factors”.

Mr. Andrew T. Swarthout and Ms. Mary L. Little, each a director of the Corporation, and Mr. Rodney Webster, Mr. Paul Newling, Mr. Andrew Hall and Mr. Zafir Ekmekçi, each a qualified person, reside outside of Canada. Mr. Swarthout and Ms. Little have each appointed Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8 as agent for service of process in Canada. Prospective investors are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

The Corporation’s head and registered office is located at Suite 1400, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3A6.

All dollar amounts in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated. See “Financial Information and Currency”.

The second part, the prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to the Warrants Shares. This prospectus supplement is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus solely for the purposes of the distribution of the Warrant Shares issuable from time to time on the exercise of the Warrants.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If the description of the Warrant Shares, the Warrants or any other information varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein), the investor should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with any different, additional, inconsistent or other information, you should not rely on it. The Corporation is not making an offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy the Warrant Shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, regardless of the time of delivery or of any sale of the Warrant Shares pursuant thereto. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. Information contained on the Corporation’s website should not be deemed to be a part of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein and should not be relied upon by prospective investors for the purpose of determining whether to invest in the Warrant Shares.

This prospectus supplement shall not be used by anyone for any purpose other than in connection with the distribution of the Warrant Shares issuable from time to time on the exercise of the Warrants.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking information herein, in the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are provided as of the date of such documents only and the Corporation does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information, except as required by law.

Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information is based on reasonable assumptions that have been made by Sandstorm Gold as at the date of such information and is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual actions, events or results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to: the aggregate net proceeds received by the Corporation as a result of the exercise of the Warrants; the impact of general business and economic conditions; the absence of control over mining operations from which Sandstorm Gold will purchase gold and other metals or from which it will receive royalty payments and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, delays in mine construction and operations, actual results of mining and current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; problems inherent to the marketability of gold and other metals; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of the primary commodities mined at such operations, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in interest rates; government entities interpreting existing tax legislation or enacting new tax legislation in a way which adversely affects Sandstorm Gold; stock market volatility; competition; the potential impact of natural disasters, terrorist acts, health crises and other disruptions and dislocations, including the COVID-19 pandemic; as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the annual information form of the Corporation dated March 30, 2020 (the “Annual Information Form”), the Annual MD&A (as defined herein), the Interim MD&A (as defined herein) and incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-looking information in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, includes, among other things, disclosure regarding: the aggregate amount of the total proceeds that the Corporation will receive

pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants; Sandstorm Gold’s existing Streams (as defined herein) and royalties; as well as its future outlook and mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates for each of the Santa Elena mine, the Chapada mine, the Hod Maden project, the Cerro Moro project and the Aurizona mine, production, timing and cost estimates, expected plans with regard to certain assets of Mariana Resources Limited and statements with respect to Sandstorm Gold’s renewed normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”); the number of shares that may be purchased under the renewed NCIB; the expected timing for submission and completion of the EIA (as defined herein) and feasibility study for the Hod Maden project and the commencement of production at the Hod Maden project; and the expected timing for the resumption of partial and full processing at the Chapada mine. Documents incorporated by reference, such as the Annual Information Form and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019 include forward-looking information with respect to, among other things, the Corporation’s corporate development and strategy. Forward-looking information is based on assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including but not limited to the continued operation of the mining operations from which Sandstorm Gold will purchase gold and other metals, or from which it will receive royalty payments, no material adverse change in the market price of commodities, that the mining operations will operate in accordance with their public statements and achieve their stated production outcomes, and such other assumptions and factors as set out therein.

Although Sandstorm Gold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as future actions and events and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS REGARDING PRESENTATION OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, have 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 terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with 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. These definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”). Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Also, under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein that describes the Corporation’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.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Corporation uses certain performance measures in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS including (i) attributable gold equivalent ounces, (ii) average cash cost per attributable gold equivalent ounce, (iii) average realized gold price per attributable gold equivalent ounce, (iv) cash operating margin, (v) cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash working capital, and (vi) all-in sustaining cost per gold ounce on a co-product basis. These are common performance measures used by streaming and royalty

companies in the precious metals mining industry but may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers as they have no meaning in IFRS. The Corporation believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Corporation’s performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis. Accordingly, the presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

This prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein refer to (i) attributable gold equivalent ounces, (ii) average cash cost per attributable gold equivalent ounce, (iii) average realized gold price per attributable gold equivalent ounce, (iv) cash operating margin, (v) cash flows from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash working capital, and (vi) all-in sustaining cost per gold ounce on a co-product basis, which are not recognized measures under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently. Management uses these measures internally to better assess performance trends and understands that a number of investors and others who follow the Corporation’s business assess performance in this way. This information is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Details on non-IFRS measures are set out in this prospectus supplement as well as in the Annual MD&A and the Interim MD&A, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND CURRENCY

The financial statements of the Corporation incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and in the accompanying prospectus, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and are reported in United States dollars. IFRS differs in some significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and thus the financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies. The SEC has adopted rules to allow foreign private issuers, such as the Corporation, to prepare and file financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS without reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the Corporation will not be providing a description of the principal differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.

The amounts in this prospectus supplement are in United States dollars. References to “United States dollars” or “US$” are to United States dollars. Canadian dollars are referred to as “Canadian dollars” or “C$”. British pounds sterling are referred to as “£”.

The high, low and closing rates for Canadian dollars in terms of the United States dollar for each of the periods indicated, as quoted by the Bank of Canada, were as follows:

On October 9, 2020, the Bank of Canada daily average rate of exchange was US$1.00 = C$1.3136.

The high, low and closing rates for British pounds sterling in terms of the United States dollar for each of the periods indicated, as quoted by the United States Federal Reserve, were as follows:

On October 9, 2020, the daily spot exchange rate, as quoted by the Bank of England, was US$1.00 = £0.7696.

In addition, to the extent any such document is included in any report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC or in any report on Form 40-F (or any respective successor form) filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this prospectus supplement, such document shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part (in the case of any report on Form 6-K, if and to the extent expressly set forth in such report).

In addition, any other report on Form 6-K and the exhibits thereto filed or furnished by the Corporation with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) from the date of this prospectus supplement and prior to the termination or completion of the distribution of the Warrant Shares issuable from time to time on the exercise of the Warrants shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part, but only if and to the extent expressly so provided in any such report. The Corporation’s current reports on Form 6-K and annual reports on Form 40-F are available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference contain meaningful and material information relating to the Corporation and readers should review all information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference.

Any statement contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein or therein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded, for purposes of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, to the extent that a statement contained herein, or in any other subsequently filed document that also is, or is deemed to be, incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. The modifying or superseding statement need not state that it has modified or superseded a prior statement or include any other information set forth in the document that it modifies or supersedes. The making of a modifying or superseding statement shall not be deemed an admission for any purposes that the modified or superseded statement, when made, constituted a misrepresentation, an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. Any statement so modified or superseded shall thereafter neither constitute, nor be deemed to constitute, a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, except as so modified or superseded.

TECHNICAL AND THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

Except where otherwise stated, the disclosure in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, relating to properties and operations on the properties in which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests, including the disclosure included in the sections entitled “General Development of the Business”, “Description of the Business” and “Technical Information” in the Annual Information Form, is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of these properties and information/data available in the public domain as at the date hereof or as of the date of (or as specified in) this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, as applicable, and none of this information has been independently verified by the Corporation. Specifically, as a royalty or stream holder, the Corporation has limited, if any, access to properties included in its asset portfolio. Additionally, the Corporation may from time to time receive operating information from the owners and operators of the properties, which it is not permitted to disclose to the public. The Corporation is dependent on, (i) the operators of the properties and their qualified persons to provide information to the Corporation, or (ii) publicly available information (including the information described in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein) to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests, and generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Such information is necessarily imprecise because it depends upon the judgment of the individuals who operate the properties on which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests. Although the Corporation does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third party information is complete or accurate. Some information publicly reported by owners or operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by the Corporation’s royalty, stream or other interests. The Corporation’s royalty, stream or other interests often cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, mineral resources and production of a property.

The disclosure in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein relating to mineral reserve and mineral resource statements for individual properties is made as at the dates indicated. In addition, numerical information contained herein, in the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein which has been derived from information publicly disclosed by owners or operators may have been rounded by the Corporation and, therefore, there may be some inconsistencies within the information presented herein, in the accompanying prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, on the one hand, and with respect to significant digits presented in the information publicly disclosed by owners or operators, on the other hand.

The Corporation considers its stream and royalty interests in the Santa Elena mine, the Chapada mine, the Hod Maden project and the Cerro Moro project to be its only material mineral properties for the purposes of NI 43-101. Information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein and therein with respect to each of the Santa Elena mine, the Chapada mine and the Cerro Moro project has been prepared in accordance with the exemption set forth in section 9.2 of NI 43-101.

All scientific and technical information contained in this prospectus supplement has been reviewed and approved in accordance with NI 43-101 by Keith Laskowski, MSc., Vice President Technical Services of the Corporation, a qualified person under NI 43-101, including, but not limited to, the scientific and technical information in this prospectus supplement under the heading “Recent Developments”.

THE CORPORATION

Sandstorm Gold is a non-operating gold streaming and royalty company which generates its revenue primarily from the sale of gold and other metals, and from the receipt of royalty payments. Sandstorm Gold currently has a portfolio of 202 Gold Streams (as defined herein) and net smelter return (“NSR”) and other royalty agreements, of which 24 of the underlying mines are producing.

Sandstorm Gold is a growth-focused company that seeks to acquire gold and other metals purchase agreements (each, a “Gold Stream” or a “Stream”) from companies which have advanced stage development projects or operating mines. In return for making upfront payments to acquire a Stream, Sandstorm Gold receives the right to purchase, at a fixed price per unit or at variable prices passed on spot, a percentage of a mine’s production for the operating life of the asset. Sandstorm Gold is focused on acquiring Streams and royalties on mines with low production costs, significant exploration potential and strong management teams.

A royalty is a payment to a royalty holder by a property owner or an operator of a property and is typically based on a percentage of the minerals or other products produced or the revenues or profits generated from the property. Royalties are not typically working interests in a property and, depending on the nature of a royalty interest and the laws applicable to it and the project, the royalty holder is generally not responsible for, and has no obligation to contribute additional funds for any purpose, including, but not limited to, operating or capital costs or environmental or reclamation liabilities. An NSR royalty is generally based on the value of production or net proceeds received by an operator from a smelter or refinery. These proceeds are usually subject to deductions or charges for transportation, insurance, smelting and refining costs as set out in the specific royalty agreement. For gold royalties, the deductions are generally minimal. NSR’s generally provide cash flow which is free of any operating or capital costs and environmental liabilities. A smaller percentage NSR in a project can effectively equate to the economic value of a larger percentage profit or working interest in the same project.

Streams and royalties are an alternative to other more conventional forms of financing, including equity, convertible securities and debt financings which can be used to finance mineral projects. Sandstorm Gold competes directly with these other sources of capital to provide financing. Sandstorm Gold plans to grow and diversify its production profile through the acquisition of additional Streams and royalties. There is no assurance, however, that any potential acquisitions will be successfully completed.

The documents incorporated by reference herein, including the Annual Information Form, contain further details regarding the business of Sandstorm Gold. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.

Recent Developments

Renewal of NCIB

On April 6, 2020, the Corporation renewed its NCIB. Under the renewed NCIB, the Corporation may purchase up to 17,170,237 Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares as of March 31, 2020, less those Common Shares held by the Corporation’s directors and senior officers. Purchases under the renewed NCIB commenced on April 6, 2020 and will terminate on the earlier of April 5, 2021, the date that Sandstorm Gold completes its purchases pursuant to the renewed NCIB as filed with the TSX, or the date of notice by Sandstorm Gold of termination of the renewed NCIB.

All purchases under the renewed NCIB will be executed on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading platforms and through the facilities of the NYSE or alternative trading platforms in the United States. Purchases under the renewed NCIB will be made at the market price of the Common Shares at the time of acquisition and may be funded by Sandstorm Gold’s working capital. Any Common Shares acquired by the Corporation under the NCIB will be cancelled. Under the rules of the TSX, subject to the Corporation’s ability to make block purchases, daily purchases on the TSX under the renewed NCIB will not exceed 157,583 Common Shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares on the TSX for the six

months ended March 31, 2020. The maximum number of Common Shares which can be purchased per day on the NYSE is 25% of the average daily trading volume for the four calendar weeks preceding the date of purchase, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases.

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement (as defined herein), the Corporation will be prohibited from making purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB while sales of Common Shares are being made under the ATM Program.

Completion of Early Warrant Exercise Program

On April 17, 2020, the Corporation completed its early warrant exercise program, resulting in the issuance of 15,000,000 Common Shares on the exercise of 15,000,000 unlisted share purchase warrants at an exercise price of US$3.35 per warrant for gross exercise proceeds to the Corporation of approximately US$50.3 million.

Sandstorm Gold Receives First Delivery from Relief Canyon

In May 2020, Sandstorm Gold received its first gold delivery from Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (“Americas Gold”) under the Relief Canyon stream agreement. Americas Gold announced that the Relief Canyon mine, which achieved first gold pour in mid-February 2020, expects to reach commercial production by the third quarter of 2020.

Under the terms of the stream agreement, Sandstorm Gold is entitled to receive 32,022 ounces of gold over a 5.5 year period (the “Fixed Deliveries”). After the Fixed Deliveries, the Corporation is entitled to purchase 4.0% of the gold and silver produced at the Relief Canyon mine for the life of the mine and will pay Americas Silver 30%–65% of the spot price of gold and silver for each ounce of gold and silver delivered.

Equinox Gold Releases PEA for Underground Mine at Aurizona and Updates Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates

On May 7, 2020, Equinox Gold Corp. (“Equinox Gold”) announced a positive preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) for development of an underground mine at the Aurizona project in Brazil. The underground mine could be operated concurrently with the existing open-pit mine. The PEA outlines total underground production of 740,500 ounces of gold over a ten-year mine life. Production from the underground mine would provide 2,800 tonnes per day to be processed through the existing 8,000 tonnes per day plant and uses other existing surface infrastructure at site. The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.

Equinox Gold intends to advance studies focused on underground development and expects to complete a pre-feasibility study for the Piaba underground mine in 2021. They have commenced a 17,000 metre drill program aimed primarily at converting underground inferred resources to indicated resources in support of the pre-feasibility study. Future drilling is planned to also target expansion of the Piaba underground deposit at depth and along strike.

On May 12, 2020, Equinox Gold announced it recently completed an updated mineral reserve and mineral resources estimates for the Aurizona mine. Exploration success offset 2019 mining depletion with mineral reserves largely unchanged at 19.8 million tonnes (“Mt”) grading 1.51 g/t gold for 958,000 ounces of contained gold, with proven reserves of 12.4 Mt grading 1.51 g/t gold and probable reserves of 7.4 Mt grading 1.51 g/t gold. The mineral reserve estimate has an effective date of December 31, 2019 based on a cut-off grade of 0.6 g/t gold for Piaba and Piaba East and 0.41 g/t gold for Boa Esperança.

The Aurizona measured and indicated resources (exclusive of reserves) increased 22% to a total of 844,000 ounces of contained gold from 16.0 Mt grading 1.64 g/t gold, with measure resources of 2.7 Mt grading 1.25 g/t gold and indicated resources of 13.2 Mt grading 1.73 g/t gold. The increase was from exploration success at the Tatjuba deposit resulting in a maiden open pit indicated resource at Tatajuba of 2.1 Mt grading 1.62 g/t gold for 112,000 ounces of contained gold.

The Tatajuba mineral resource estimate has an effective date of January 24, 2020 and the mineral resources from the Piaba open-pit, Piaba underground and Boa Esperança have an effective date of December 31, 2019. The open-pit mineral resources are reported using a cut-off grade of 0.6 g/t gold and the underground mineral resources are reported using a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t gold. The Tatajuba open-pit mineral resources were not included in the current mineral reserve update. A total of 6,662 metres of core were drilled in 2019 in the Tatajuba area, bringing the total to 14,072 metres in support of the maiden mineral resource estimate.

Sandstorm Gold has a 3.0%–5.0% sliding scale NSR royalty on the Aurizona project. At gold prices less than or equal to US$1,500 per ounce, the royalty is a 3.0% NSR. At gold prices between US$1,500 and US$2,000 per ounce, the royalty is a 4% NSR. At gold prices above US$2,000 per ounce, the royalty is a 5% NSR. In addition, Sandstorm holds a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Aurizona Greenfields

property, a package of exploration ground adjacent to the Aurizona project.

Hod Maden Drill Results

On May 14, 2020, recent infill drill results were reported by Lidya Madencilik San. ve Tic. A.S. (“Lidya”), Sandstorm Gold’s 70% partner at the Hod Maden project. A total of 2,864 metres in 24 drill holes have been completed in 2020 and once travel and work restrictions are lifted in Turkey, Lidya plans on continued infill, geotechnical, hydrological and exploration drilling on the project.

Highlighted drill results include:

Drill holes HTG-002 and HTG-003 are infill drill holes within the main deposit at the Hod Maden project. The holes were drilled oblique to the strike, testing the continuity of the high-grade mineralization. Assay results show excellent, uniform grade distributions within the deposit, which has an estimated true thickness of about 65 meters.

Sandstorm Gold has a 30% interest and a 2% NSR royalty on the Hod Maden project.

All drill hole assay data for the Hod Maden project was provided to Sandstorm Gold from Lidya. The Hod Maden project mineralized intervals presented in this prospectus supplement are drill intersection widths and may not represent true widths of mineralisation. Standard sampling protocol involved the halving of all drill core and sampling over generally 1 metre intervals in clearly mineralized sections or 2.0 metre intervals elsewhere, with one half of the core being placed in a sealed sample bag and dispatched to the analytical laboratory for analysis. Samples have been analysed at ALS Laboratories’ facility in Izmir, western Turkey. All samples have been analysed for gold using a 30 gram Fire Assay with AAS finish (or Screen Fire Assay for higher grade samples), in addition to a 32 element ICP-AES analysis of an aqua regia digest. Samples in which ICP analyses returned greater than the maximum detection limit for the elements Ag (10 ppm), Cu (10,000 ppm), Fe (15%), Pb (10,000 ppm), and Zn (10,000 ppm) were reanalysed using the AAS analytical technique. Standards and blanks were inserted into the analytical sequence on the basis of one standard for every 20 samples, 2 blanks in every batch, and one duplicate every 40 samples. The drill intercepts were calculated using a the previously stated cut-off grades. Intercepts may include one sample interval of internal dilution and one interval of adjacent dilution.

Initiation of At-The-Market Equity Program

On May 14, 2020, the Corporation announced that it had established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) to allow the Corporation to issue up to US$140 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of Common Shares from treasury to the public from time to time, at the Corporation’s discretion and subject to regulatory requirements.

Any Common Shares sold in the ATM Program will be sold by way of (i) ordinary brokers’ transactions that meet the definition of an “at-the-market offering” under the rules and regulations of the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act, (ii) ordinary brokers’ transactions that constitute an “at-the-market distribution” as described in Part 9 of National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions and made in compliance with the exemptive relief decision dated April 22, 2020 obtained by the Corporation pursuant to National Policy 11-203 – Process for Exemptive Relief Applications in Multiple Jurisdictions providing relief from certain Canadian securities laws with respect to the sale of the Common Shares in connection with the ATM Program, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NYSE and the TSX, or any other Canadian marketplace or United States marketplace, or (iii) such other sales of Common Shares by an Agent (as defined herein) on behalf of the Corporation in its capacity as agent of the Corporation as shall be agreed by the Corporation and the applicable Agent in writing, at prevailing market prices. Since the Common Shares will be distributed at the prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers and during the period of distribution.

Sales of Common Shares through the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) dated May 14, 2020 entered into among the Corporation, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Scotiabank Capital Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., CIBC Capital Markets Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Scotiabank Capital (USA) Inc. (the “Agents”). The ATM Program will be effective until the earliest of the date that

all Common Shares available for issue under the ATM Program have been issued, May 20, 2022 or the ATM Program is terminated prior to such date in accordance with the Distribution Agreement.

Lundin Mining Announces Temporary Interruption of Processing Activities at Chapada Mine

On September 27, 2020, Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining”) announced that processing activities were interrupted at the Chapada mine in Brazil after the operation suffered a power outage. When the power was restored, the protection system at the operation’s main electrical substation failed, resulting in significant damage to the SAG and ball mill motors.

On September 29, 2020 Lundin Mining announced that it anticipated that it will be able to resume partial processing within one week using two spare motors and expect that the rate of production would be approximately 30% of normal production capacity, based on past experience operating the SAG mill circuit without the ball mill. Lundin Mining announced that a return to full capacity was expected to be achieved within 60 days.

Sandstorm Gold has a copper stream agreement to purchase 4.2% of the copper produced at the Chapada mine up to a maximum of 3.9 million pounds annually. When 39 million pounds of copper has been delivered to the Corporation, the copper stream will reduce to 3.0%. Once 50 million pounds of copper have been delivered to the Corporation, the stream will reduce to 1.5% of the copper produced for the life of the mine. Sandstorm Gold will make ongoing payments for each pound of copper purchased equal to 30% of the spot price of copper.

Sandstorm Gold Sells 12,100 Gold Equivalent Ounces in the Third Quarter of 2020

On October 5, 2020, the Corporation announced that it had sold approximately 12,100 attributable gold equivalent ounces and realized preliminary revenue of US$23.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Preliminary cost of sales, excluding depletion for the three month period, was US$3.1 million resulting in record cash operating margins of approximately US$1,670 per attributable gold equivalent ounce.

The Corporation’s royalty and other commodity stream revenue is converted to an attributable gold equivalent ounce basis by dividing the royalty and other commodity revenue for that period by the average realized gold price per attributable gold equivalent ounce from the Corporation’s gold streams for the same respective period. These attributable gold equivalent ounces when combined with the gold ounces sold from the Corporation's gold streams equal total attributable gold equivalent ounces sold.

Average realized gold price per attributable gold equivalent ounce is calculated by dividing the Corporation’s sales by the number of attributable gold equivalent ounces sold.

Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost per attributable gold equivalent ounce from the average realized gold price per attributable gold equivalent ounce.

Average cash cost per attributable gold equivalent ounce is calculated by dividing the Corporation’s cost of sales, excluding depletion by the number of attributable gold equivalent ounces sold.

The preceding figures have not been audited and are subject to change. As the Corporation has not yet finished its quarter-end close procedures, the anticipated financial information presented above is preliminary, subject to final quarter-end closing adjustments, and may change materially. See “Cautionary Notice Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures”.

Hod Maden Project Update

On October 5, 2020, the Corporation announced that Lidya has been steadily advancing the Hod Maden project during 2020. A draft of the environmental impact assessment (“EIA”) is expected to be submitted in the fourth quarter of 2020 and a final EIA completed in the first quarter of 2021. Road upgrades are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2020. Due to COVID-19 related delays, the feasibility study for the Hod Maden project is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2021, with first production projected for the fourth quarter of 2023.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to invest in the Warrant Shares, investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in, and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. An investment in the Warrant Shares is subject to certain risks, including risks related to the business of the Corporation, risks related to mining operations and risks related to the Corporation’s securities described in the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus and herein by reference. See the risk factors below and the “Risk Factors” section of the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and therein. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a loss of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Price volatility of Common Shares

The market price of the Common Shares may fluctuate due to a variety of factors relative to the Corporation’s business, including announcements of new development, fluctuations in the Corporation’s operating results, sales of the Common Shares in the marketplace, failure to meet analysts’ expectations, the impact of any public announcements made by the Corporation or its competitors, general market conditions or the worldwide economy. In recent years, the Common Shares and stock markets in Canada and the United States have experienced significant price fluctuations, for reasons which may have been unrelated to the operating performance of the Corporation or the affected companies, such factors including macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries or asset classes. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Shares will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Corporation’s performance. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of Sandstorm Gold’s securities at any given time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of Sandstorm Gold.

Broad discretion in the use of proceeds

The Corporation currently expects to apply the net proceeds it receives from the exercise of the Warrants as described under “Use of Proceeds” of this prospectus supplement. Management of the Corporation will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve the Corporation’s results of operations or enhance the value of the Common Shares. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business and cause the price of the Common Shares to decline. Pending their use, the Corporation may invest the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

Future sales or issuances of securities

The Corporation may issue additional securities to finance future activities. The Corporation cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of Common Shares, or the expectation that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Shares. In connection with any issuance of Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Corporation may experience dilution in its earnings per share.

Positive return on investment in the Warrant Shares is not guaranteed

There is no guarantee that an investment in the Warrant Shares will earn any positive return in the short term or long term. A purchase of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by purchasers whose

financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the Warrant Shares is appropriate only for purchasers who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.

We may be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors

Prospective U.S. investors should be aware that they could be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences if we are classified as a PFIC (as defined herein) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The determination of whether we are a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations, and such determination will depend on the composition of our income, expenses and assets from time to time and the nature of the activities performed by our officers and employees. Prospective U.S. investors should carefully read the tax discussion in this prospectus supplement for more information and consult their own tax advisors regarding the likelihood and consequences of the Corporation being treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including the advisability of making certain elections that may mitigate certain possible adverse income tax consequences but may result in an inclusion in gross income without receipt of such income.

Our activities may be adversely affected by natural disasters, terrorist acts, health crises and other disruptions and dislocations, including by the COVID-19 pandemic, whether those effects are local, nationwide or global

Upon the occurrence of a natural disaster, pandemic or upon an incident of war, riot or civil unrest, the impacted country, and the overall global economy, may not efficiently and quickly recover from such an event, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Corporation. Terrorist attacks, public health crises including epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks of new infectious diseases or viruses, and related events can result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains, operations, mobility of people, patterns of consumption and service and the financial markets, which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business, financial conditions, results of operations and other factors relevant to the Corporation.

Global markets have been adversely impacted by emerging infectious diseases and/or the threat of outbreaks of viruses, other contagions or epidemic diseases, including more recently, the novel COVID-19. A significant outbreak could result in a widespread crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial and commodity markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn which could adversely affect the Corporation’s business, or the business of the companies in which we have an investment, and the market price of the Common Shares. Many industries, including the mining industry, have been impacted by these market conditions. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, it may result in a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, availability of credit, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Corporation’s business and the market price of the Corporation’s securities. In addition, there may not be an adequate response to emerging infectious diseases, or significant restrictions may be imposed by a government, either of which may impact mining operations. There are potentially significant economic and social impacts, including labour shortages and shutdowns, delays and disruption in supply chains, social unrest, government or regulatory actions or inactions, including quarantines, travel restrictions, declaration of national emergencies, permanent changes in taxation or policies, decreased demand or the inability to sell and deliver concentrates and resulting commodities, declines in the price of commodities, delays in permitting or approvals, suspensions or mandated shut downs of operations, governmental disruptions or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. At this time the Corporation cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations or financial results, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread, the duration of the outbreak, and the length restrictions or responses that have been or may be imposed by the governments. Given the global nature of the Corporation’s operations, the Corporation may not be able to accurately predict which operations will be impacted. Any outbreak or threat of an outbreak of a contagion or epidemic disease could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, its business and operational results.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, since the date of the Interim Financial Statements. As a result of the offering of Warrant Shares issuable from time to time on the exercise of the Warrants, the shareholder’s equity of the Corporation may increase by up to a maximum of US$16,285,432.

USE OF PROCEEDS

From time to time, when the Warrants are exercised, the Corporation may receive proceeds equal to the aggregate exercise price of such Warrants. Assuming that all of the Warrants are exercised prior to their expiry time and that no adjustment based on the anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrant Indenture has taken place, the gross proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of all of the Warrants will be approximately US$16,285,432.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, if any, to finance future Streams and the purchase of royalties and/or for other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including equity and debt securities) other than pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

Although the Corporation intends to expend the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be prudent or necessary, and may vary materially from that set forth above. In addition, management of the Corporation will have broad discretion with respect to the actual use of the net proceeds from the exercise of Warrants. See “Risk Factors”.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus supplement related to the qualification for distribution of: (i) up to 4,071,358 Warrant Shares issuable from time to time, on exercise of up to 4,071,358 Warrant issued by the Corporation on November 3, 2015 pursuant to the Unit Offering; and (ii) such indeterminate number of additional Warrant Shares that may be issuable by reason of the anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrant Indenture. See “Description of Warrants” for additional information on the terms of the Warrants.

On October 27, 2015, the Corporation filed the 2015 Supplement and a registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-206476), principally filed on August 20, 2015, as amended September 1, 2015, with the SEC relating to the Unit Offering. Each Unit consisted of one Common Share and one-half of one Warrant. In connection with the Unit Offering, the Corporation entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriters, pursuant to which the Corporation agreed to sell and the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the Corporation 8,772,000 Units at a price of US$2.85 per Unit. In addition, the Corporation granted the Underwriters the option to purchase up to an additional 1,315,800 Units to cover over-allotments. The Unit Offering was completed on November 3, 2015, including the full exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option for a total of 10,087,800 Units sold. The exercise price of the Warrants was determined by negotiation between the Corporation and the Underwriters.

On April 20, 2020, the Corporation filed the prospectus in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and the Registration Statement.

This prospectus supplement replaces the 2015 Supplement and registers the distribution of the Warrant Shares under the U.S. Securities Act in accordance with MJDS. This prospectus supplement does not qualify the distribution of the Warrant Shares in any province or territory of Canada.

Holders of Warrants resident in the United States who acquire Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of Warrants in accordance with theirs terms and under the prospectus and this prospectus supplement may have a right of action against the Corporation for any misrepresentation in the prospectus and this prospectus supplement. However, such holders are advised to consult with their legal advisor with respect to such matters, including the existence and enforceability of such a right of action is not without doubt.

The Warrant Shares to which this prospectus supplement relates will be issued directly by us to holders of Warrants, as the case may be, on the exercise of such Warrants. No underwriters, dealers or agents will be involved in these sales. No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of, or has performed any review of, this prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. For a description of the terms and provisions of the Common Shares, see “Description of Securities – Common Shares” in the prospectus. As of October 9, 2020, there were 191,077,509 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

The Warrants issued under the Unit Offering are governed by a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) dated November 3, 2015 between the Corporation and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as agent for the holders of the Warrants (the “Warrant Agent”). The Corporation appointed the principal transfer offices of the Warrant Agent in Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario as the location at which the Warrants may be surrendered for exercise or transfer. The following summary of certain provisions of the Warrant Indenture contains all of the material attributed and characteristics of the Warrants but does not purport to be completed and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Warrant Indenture, which is available under the Corporation profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Warrant Share at a price of U.S.$4.00. The exercise price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise are both subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as more fully described below. Warrants will be

exercisable at any time prior to 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 3, 2020, after which time the Warrants will expire and become null and void. Under the Warrant Indenture and subject to applicable laws, the Corporation is entitled to purchase in the market, by private contract or otherwise, all or any of the Warrants then outstanding, and any Warrants so purchased will be cancelled.

The exercise price for the Warrants is payable in United States dollars.

The Warrant Indenture provides for adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and/or the exercise price per Warrant Share upon the occurrence of certain events, including:

The Warrant Indenture also provides for adjustment in the class and/or number of securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and/or exercise price per security in the event of the following additional events: (1) reclassifications of the Common Shares; (2) consolidations, amalgamations, plans of arrangement or mergers of the Corporation with or into another entity (other than consolidations, amalgamations, plans of arrangement or mergers which do not result in any reclassification of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares); or (3) the transfer (other than to one of the Corporation’s subsidiaries) of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity.

No adjustment in the exercise price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is required to be made unless the cumulative effect of such adjustment or adjustments would change the exercise price by at least 1% or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise by at least one one-hundredth of a Warrant Share.

The Corporation also covenants in the Warrant Indenture that, during the period in which the Warrants are exercisable, it will give notice to holders of Warrants of certain stated events, including events that would result in an adjustment to the exercise price for the Warrants or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, at least 14 days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.

The Corporation also covenants in the Warrant Indenture that for so long as the Warrants remain outstanding, it will maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement filed with the SEC that registers the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. If there is not such an effective registration statement at the time the Warrants are exercised, the Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis, pursuant to the terms of the Warrants.

No fractional Warrant Shares will be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrants, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu of fractional shares. Holders of Warrants do not have any voting or pre-emptive rights or any other rights which a holder of Common Shares would have.

From time to time, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of the holders of Warrants, may amend or supplement the Warrant Indenture for certain purposes, including curing defects or inconsistencies or making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of Warrants. Any amendment or supplement to the Warrant Indenture that adversely affects the interests of the holders of the Warrants may only be made by “extraordinary resolution”, which is defined in the Warrant Indenture as a resolution either (1) passed at a meeting of the holders of Warrants at which there are holders of Warrants present in person or represented by proxy representing at least 10% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Warrants and passed by the affirmative vote of holders

of Warrants representing not less than 66^2/3% of the aggregate number of all the then outstanding Warrants represented at the meeting and voted on the poll upon such resolution or (2) adopted by an instrument in writing signed by the holders of Warrants representing not less than 66^2/3% of the aggregate number of all the then outstanding Warrants.

The following section is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and the regulations thereunder (the‎‎ “Regulations‎‎”)‎ generally applicable to a holder who, as beneficial owner, acquires Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) is neither resident in Canada nor deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention (ii) does not use or hold, ‎and will not be deemed to use or hold, the Warrant Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada, (iii) deals at arm’s length with, and is not affiliated with, the Corporation, and (iv) acquires and holds the Warrant Shares acquired on exercise of the Warrants as capital property (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Generally, the Warrant Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Non-Resident Holder thereof provided that the Non-Resident Holder does not use or hold the Warrant Shares in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities and such Non-Resident Holder has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere or an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act). Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in Warrant Shares.

This summary is based on the facts set out in this prospectus supplement and the prospectus, the provisions of the Tax Act (and the Regulations) in force as of the date prior to the date hereof and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) published in writing by the CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by way of judicial, legislative or governmental decision or action. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations, and does not take into account other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ materially from those described in this summary.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-Resident Holder, and no representations concerning the tax consequences to any particular Non-Resident Holder are made. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax considerations applicable to them having regard to their particular circumstances.

Currency Conversion

For purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Warrant Shares must be computed in Canadian dollars using the Bank of Canada rate for the day on which such amount arose or such other rate as is acceptable to the CRA.

Exercise of Warrants

No gain or loss will be realized by a Non-Resident Holder upon the exercise of a Warrant to acquire a Warrant Share. When a Warrant is exercised, the Non-Resident Holder’s cost of the Warrant Share acquired thereby will be equal to the adjusted cost base of the Warrant to such Non-Resident Holder, plus the exercise price paid for the Warrant Share. For the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to a Non-Resident Holder of each Warrant Share acquired on the exercise of a Warrant, the cost of such Warrant Shares must be averaged with the adjusted cost base to such Non-Resident Holder of all other Common Shares (if any) held by the Non-Resident Holder as capital property immediately prior to the exercise of the Warrant.

Dividends on Warrant Shares

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited) to a Non-Resident Holder by the Corporation will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to a reduction of such rate under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

In general, in the case of a Non-Resident Holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Treaty”), who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, and who qualifies for full benefits under the Treaty, the rate of such withholding tax will be reduced to 15%. Non-Resident Holders are urged to consult their own advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Disposition of Warrant Shares

A Non-Resident Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Warrant Share unless the Warrant Share constitutes (or is deemed to constitute) “taxable Canadian property” of such Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act, and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Provided the Warrant Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX and NYSE) at the time of disposition, the Warrant Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder unless, at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition the following two conditions are met concurrently: (i) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation were owned by or belonged to any combination of (a) the Non-Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), “timber resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), or options in respect of, interests in, or for civil law rights in such properties, whether or not such property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Warrant Shares may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property in certain circumstances specified in the Tax Act.

Non-Resident Holders whose Warrant Shares may be taxable Canadian property should consult their ‎own tax advisors.‎

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of certain anticipated material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares. This summary only applies to “U.S. Holders” that hold the Warrant Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment), and that do not own and are not treated as owning (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all outstanding shares of the Corporation. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable tax treaty. This summary does not address any U.S. federal estate and gift tax consequences or any other U.S. federal tax consequences other than income tax consequences, or any U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares. Each U.S. Holder of Warrant Shares is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares.

The Corporation has not requested, and will not request, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the conclusions described in this summary.

The following discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of Warrant Shares and no opinion or representation with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made.

This summary is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed) (“Treasury Regulations”), published administrative positions of the IRS, the Treaty, and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis, which could affect the U.S.

federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis.

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Holders that: (a) are tax-exempt entities; (b) are banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies; (c) are partnerships, other pass-through entities or their partners or other owners; (d) are dealers or traders in securities or currencies; (e) are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (f) have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (g) own Warrant Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale or other integrated security transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (h) acquired Warrant Shares in connection with the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (i) are U.S. expatriates; (j) are subject to the alternative minimum tax; or (k) are required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders described immediately above, are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares.

For purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Warrant Shares that is: (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created in or organized under the law of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) that has validly elected to be subject to tax as a U.S. person under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds or is the beneficial owner of Warrant Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such entity and the partners (or other owners) of such entity generally will depend on the activities of the entity and the status of such partners (or owners). This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such entity or owner. Partners (or other owners) of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships or as “pass-through” entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Warrant Shares.

Exercise and Disposition of Warrants

The following discussion is subject to the rules described below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Exercise of Warrants

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a Warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the exercise of a Warrant and the related receipt of a Warrant Share. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant Share received upon exercise of the Warrant will generally be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s initial investment in the Warrant plus the exercise price of such Warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Warrant Shares received upon exercise of the Warrant would commence on the date of exercise of the Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Warrant; however, in either case the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrants.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Warrant are not clear under current law. Due to the absence of clear authority as to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance as to how the IRS or a U.S. court would characterize a cashless exercise for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, if a cashless exercise is available, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a cashless exercise.

Disposition of Warrants

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale, exchange (other than by exercise), or expiration of a Warrant in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized upon such disposition or expiration and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the warrant. If a Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant. Such gain or loss will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Warrant is held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year at the time of such disposition or expiration. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Certain Adjustments to the Warrants

The terms of each Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares that will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant or to the exercise price of the Warrant in certain events, as discussed above in the section captioned “Description of Warrants.” An adjustment that has the effect of preventing dilution is generally not a taxable event. Nevertheless, a U.S. Holder of Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from the Corporation if, for example, the adjustment increases such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the Corporation’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of Warrant Shares that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of our Common Shares that is taxable to such Holders as a distribution. Such a constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under “Distributions on Warrant Shares” below in the same manner as if such U.S. Holder received a cash distribution from us equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

Ownership and Disposition of Warrant Shares

The following discussion is subject to the rules described below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Distributions on Warrant Shares

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution with respect to a Warrant Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for the amount of any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Corporation, as calculated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such amount will be includable in gross income by a U.S. Holder as ordinary income on the date that the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives the distribution in accordance with its regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of any distribution made by the Corporation in property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of the distribution. See “Foreign Tax Credits” below for a discussion of the availability of any foreign tax credits related to Canadian taxes withheld.

To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Corporation, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrant Shares, causing a reduction in the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrant Shares held by such U.S. Holder (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing amount of loss, to be recognized by such U.S. Holder upon a subsequent disposition of such Warrant Shares), with any amount that exceeds the adjusted tax basis being treated as a capital gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of such Warrant Shares. See “Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Warrant Shares” below. However, the Corporation does not intend to maintain calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by the Corporation with respect to Warrant Shares will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the case of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation, dividends paid on the Warrant Shares generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction.” The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

Subject to applicable exceptions with respect to short-term and hedged positions, dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders from a “qualified foreign corporation” will be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. A qualified foreign corporation includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the U.S. Treasury Department determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and that includes an exchange of information provision. The U.S. Treasury Department has determined that the Treaty meets these requirements, and the Corporation believes that it is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. A foreign corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on ordinary shares that are readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that the Warrant Shares are readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States. However, there can be no assurance that the Warrant Shares will be considered readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States in the future. If the Corporation is classified as a PFIC (as defined below) in the taxable year of distribution or in the preceding taxable year, then dividends received by U.S. Holders will not be qualified dividends. However, as discussed below in “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” the Corporation has not determined, and does not intend to determine, whether it is currently a PFIC, whether it was a PFIC for its prior taxable year or whether it will be a PFIC in any future taxable year.

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Warrant Shares

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Warrant Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Warrant Shares. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, on the date of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, the U.S. Holder has held the Warrant Shares for more than one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may qualify for preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation in

respect of long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Gain or loss, if any, that is realized upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Warrant Shares generally will be treated as income from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Special, generally unfavourable, U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. persons owning stock of a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”). A foreign corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of the corporation and certain subsidiaries pursuant to applicable “look through” rules, either (1) at least 75%  of its gross income is “passive” income (the “income test”) or (2) at least 50% of the average value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”). For this purpose, passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, gains from the disposition of passive assets and certain net gains from commodities transactions. For purposes of determining whether a foreign corporation will be considered a PFIC, such foreign corporation will be treated as holding its proportionate share of the assets and receiving directly its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock. PFIC status is fundamentally factual in nature. It generally cannot be determined until the close of the taxable year in question and is determined annually.

Under certain attribution rules, if the Corporation were a PFIC, U.S. Holders would generally be deemed to own their proportionate share of the Corporation’s direct or indirect equity interest in any company that is also a PFIC (a “Subsidiary PFIC”), and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any indirect gain realized on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC upon the sale of the Warrant Shares of the Corporation, as well as their proportionate share of (a) any “excess distributions” (as discussed below) on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC and (b) any gain realized upon the disposition or deemed disposition of stock of a Subsidiary PFIC by the Corporation or by another Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC.

The determination of PFIC status for any year is very fact specific, being based on the types of income the Corporation earns and the types and value of the Corporation’s assets from time to time, all of which are subject to change, as well as, in part, the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, there can be no assurance as to whether the Corporation is or is not a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Corporation has not made such a determination and does not intend to make such a determination in the future. Accordingly, it is possible that the Corporation may be classified as a PFIC in the current taxable year or in future years. If the Corporation is classified as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Warrant Shares, the Corporation generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC as to such U.S. Holder in all succeeding years unless a U.S. Holder makes certain elections, for such year and all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder holds Warrant Shares, regardless of whether the Corporation continues to meet the income or asset test discussed above.

If the Corporation were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds Warrant Shares, such U.S. Holder would be subject to increased tax liability (generally including an interest charge) upon the sale or other disposition of Warrant Shares or upon the receipt of certain distributions treated as “excess distributions”, regardless of whether such income was actually distributed. An excess distribution generally would be the portion of any distributions to a U.S. Holder with respect to Warrant Shares during a single taxable year that is in total greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder with respect to Warrant Shares during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, during such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Warrant Shares. Generally, a U.S. Holder would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the sale or other disposition of the Warrant Shares ratably over its holding period for Warrant Shares. Such amounts would be taxed as ordinary income at the highest applicable rate in effect for each taxable year of the holding period, and amounts allocated to prior taxable years would be subject to an interest charge at the rate applicable to underpayments of tax.

If the Corporation is classified as a PFIC, certain elections could be available to mitigate such consequences. If the Warrant Shares are regularly traded on a registered national securities exchange or certain other exchanges or markets, then such Warrant Shares will constitute “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules. The Corporation expects that the Warrant Shares will constitute “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules. U.S. Holders that make a “mark-to-market election” with respect to such marketable stock would not be subject to the foregoing PFIC rules. After making such an election, a U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income each year during which the election is in effect and during which the Corporation is a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such U.S. Holder’s Warrant Shares at the end of the taxable year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Warrant Shares. These amounts of ordinary income would not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. A U.S. Holder with a mark-to-market election in effect also would be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s Warrant Shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income that was previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election). A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Warrant Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss amounts resulting from a mark-to-market election. If made, a mark-to-market election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless the Warrant Shares ceased to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS

consented to the revocation of the election. However, the mark-to-market election will not be available with respect to any Subsidiary PFIC. Accordingly, U.S. Holders making a mark-to-market election would be subject to unfavorable tax consequences described above with respect to any Subsidiary PFIC. In the event that the Corporation is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether the election would be advisable in their particular circumstances.

The PFIC tax rules outlined above also would not apply to a U.S. Holder that elected to treat the Corporation as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF”). An election to treat the Corporation as a QEF will not be available, however, if the Corporation does not provide the information necessary to make such an election. The Corporation does not intend to provide the information necessary to make a QEF election, and thus, a QEF election will not be available with respect to Warrant Shares.

In any year in which the Corporation is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. In addition to penalties, a failure to satisfy such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621 annually.

As discussed above in “Distributions”, notwithstanding any election made with respect to the Warrant Shares, if the Corporation is a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, dividends received with respect to Warrant Shares will not qualify for reduced rates of taxation.

The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

Additional Considerations

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The gross amount of any payment in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be included by each U.S. Holder in income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day such U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives the payment in accordance with its regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of the payment, the U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize any foreign currency gain or loss with respect to the receipt of foreign currency. If, instead, the foreign currency is converted at a later date, any currency gains or losses resulting from the conversion of the foreign currency will be treated as U.S.-source ordinary income or loss. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own U.S. tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

Foreign Tax Credits

In general, any Canadian income tax imposed on dividend payments (whether directly or through withholding) in respect of Warrant Shares will be treated as a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (or, at a U.S. Holder’s election, may, in certain circumstances, be deducted in computing taxable income). Dividends paid on Warrant Shares will be treated as foreign-source income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and generally will be treated as “passive category income” or “general category income” for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. The Code applies various complex limitations on the amount of foreign taxes that may be claimed as a credit by U.S. taxpayers. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Disclosure Requirements for Specified Foreign Financial Assets

Certain U.S. Holders that, during any taxable year, hold an interest in “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold), may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” generally include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons; (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties; and (iii) interests in foreign entities. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting rules to the Warrant Shares and their particular situations.

Backup Withholding and Additional Information Reporting

In general, dividends paid to a U.S. Holder in respect of Warrant Shares and the proceeds received by a U.S. Holder from the sale, exchange or other disposition of Warrant Shares within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries will be subject to U.S. information reporting rules, unless a U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient and properly establishes such exemption. Backup withholding at a rate of 24% may apply to such payments if a U.S. Holder does not establish an exemption from backup withholding or fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number and make any other required certifications.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters relating to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, with respect to Canadian legal matters, and by Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP, with respect to United States legal matters.

INTEREST OF EXPERTS

Keith Laskowski, MSc., Vice President Technical Services of the Corporation, a qualified person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved all scientific and technical disclosure contained in this prospectus supplement in accordance with NI 43-101. As of October 13, 2020, Mr. Keith Laskowski holds 5,680 Common Shares, 13,333 stock options and 64,666 restricted share rights of the Corporation.

As of the date hereof, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, and its partners and associates, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in their respective groups, less than 1% of any class of outstanding securities of the Corporation.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation amalgamated and existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Most of our officers and directors and most of the experts named in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are not residents of the United States, and many of our assets and all or a substantial portion of assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. Sandstorm Gold has appointed an agent for service of process within the United States upon those officers or directors who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon Sandstorm Gold’s civil liability and the civil liability of such officers or directors under the United States federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States.

Sandstorm Gold has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, that, subject to certain limitations, a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws may be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. Sandstorm Gold has also been advised by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws.

We have filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Registration Statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-237619) of which this prospectus supplement is a part, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Corporation appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a United States court, arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of securities under this prospectus supplement.

This short form base shelf prospectus (this “prospectus”) relates to the offering for sale from time to time (each, an “offering”), during the 25-month period that this prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains effective, of the securities of Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm Gold” or the “Corporation”) listed above (the “Securities”) in one or more series or issuances, with a total offering price of such Securities, in the aggregate, of up to U.S.$350,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies). The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of the sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (a “prospectus supplement”).

We are permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from United States disclosure requirements. We prepare our financial statements, which are incorporated by reference herein, in United States dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies. Financial statements which will be deemed incorporated by reference herein in the future, or which may form part of a prospectus supplement in the future, will be prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition and disposition of the Securities may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such tax consequences, including for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States or Canada, are not described in this prospectus and may not be fully described in any applicable prospectus supplement. Investors should read the tax discussion in any prospectus supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisor with respect to their own particular circumstances.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), ANY Canadian securities regulator, nor any state securities regulator, has approved or disapproved the Securities offered hereby or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus or determined if this prospectus IS truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

All information permitted under applicable law to be omitted from this prospectus will be contained in one or more prospectus supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this prospectus. Each prospectus supplement will be incorporated by reference into this prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the prospectus supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the prospectus supplement pertains. You should read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement carefully before you invest in any Securities. The Corporation may offer and sell Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly or through agents designated by the Corporation from time to time at amounts and prices and other terms determined by the Corporation. A prospectus supplement will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the offering and will set forth the terms of the offering, the method of distribution of such Securities including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Corporation and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the distribution. In connection with any offering (unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement), the underwriters or agents may, subject to applicable law, over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at levels other than that which might otherwise exist in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”. No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this prospectus.

Investing in the Securities is highly speculative and involves significant risks. The risks outlined in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and in the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference therein should all be carefully reviewed and considered by prospective investors. See “Risk Factors”.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because the Corporation is incorporated in Canada, most of the officers and directors and most of the experts named in this prospectus are not residents of the United States, and many of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. See “Enforceability of Certain Civil Liabilities”.

Mr. Andrew T. Swarthout and Ms. Mary L. Little, each a director of the Corporation, and Mr. Rodney Webster, Mr. Paul Newling, Mr. Andrew Hall and Mr. Zafir Ekmekçi, each a qualified person, reside outside of Canada. Mr. Swarthout and Ms. Little have each appointed Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8 as agent for service of process in Canada. Prospective investors are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

We have filed an undertaking with the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) that we will not distribute in the local jurisdiction under this prospectus specified derivatives or asset-backed securities that, at the time of distribution, are novel without pre-clearing with the BCSC the disclosure to be contained in the prospectus supplement pertaining to the distribution of such securities.

The common shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Corporation are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “SSL” and, since February 21, 2020, on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “SAND”. Prior to February 21, 2020, the Common Shares were listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “SSL” and on the NYSE American under the symbol “SAND”. On April 17, 2020, the last trading day before the date hereof, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was C$9.02 and the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE was U.S.$6.42. In addition, the common share purchase warrants of the Corporation expiring November 3, 2020 (the “Listed Warrants”) are listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “SSL.WT”. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, there is no existing trading market through which the debt securities (the “Debt Securities”), the warrants (the “Warrants”) (unless such Warrants are issued under the Corporation’s existing indentures for listed warrants), the subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) or the units (the “Units”) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”. No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.

The Corporation’s head and registered office is located at Suite 1400, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3A6.

All dollar amounts in this prospectus are in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated. See “Financial Information and Currency”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

In this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms, as well as references to “Sandstorm Gold” or the “Corporation”, refer to Sandstorm Gold Ltd. together with our subsidiaries.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-10 that we have filed with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), relating to the Securities (the “Registration Statement”). Under the Registration Statement, we may, from time to time, offer any combination of the Securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings of up to an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$350,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). This prospectus provides you with a general description of the Securities that we may offer. Each time we offer Securities under the Registration Statement, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. Before you invest, you should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. This prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. You may refer to the Registration Statement and the exhibits to the Registration Statement for further information with respect to us and the Securities.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and on the other information included in the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with any different, additional, inconsistent or other information, you should not rely on it. The Corporation is not making an offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy the Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, regardless of the time of delivery or of any sale of the Securities pursuant thereto. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. Information contained on the Corporation’s website should not be deemed to be a part of this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference herein or therein and should not be relied upon by prospective investors for the purpose of determining whether to invest in the Securities.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND CURRENCY

The financial statements of the Corporation incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and are reported in United States dollars. IFRS differs in some significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and thus the financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies. The SEC has adopted rules to allow foreign private issuers, such as the Corporation, to prepare and file financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS without reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the Corporation will not be providing a description of the principal differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.

The offering amount in this prospectus is in United States dollars. References to “United States dollars” or “US$” are to United States dollars. Canadian dollars are referred to as “Canadian dollars” or “C$”.

The high, low and closing rates for Canadian dollars in terms of the United States dollar for each of the periods indicated, as quoted by the Bank of Canada, were as follows:

On April 17, 2020, the Bank of Canada daily average rate of exchange was U.S.$1.00 = C$1.4037 or C$1.00 = U.S.$0.7124.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS REGARDING PRESENTATION OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein have 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 terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms defined in accordance with 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. These definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the U.S. Securities Act. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Also, under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein that describes the Corporation’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.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation amalgamated and existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Most of our officers and directors and most of the experts named in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are not residents of the United States, and many of our assets and all or a substantial portion of assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. Sandstorm Gold has appointed an agent for service of process within the United States upon those officers or directors who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon Sandstorm Gold’s civil liability and the civil liability of such officers or directors under United States federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States.

Sandstorm Gold has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, that, subject to certain limitations, a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws may be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. Sandstorm Gold has also been advised by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws.

We have filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Registration Statement, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Corporation appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a United States court, arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the Securities.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We have filed the Registration Statement with the SEC . This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, which form a part of the Registration Statement, do not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Information omitted from this prospectus but contained in the Registration Statement is available on EDGAR (as defined herein) under the Corporation’s profile at www.sec.gov. Reference is also made to the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto for further information with respect to us and the Securities. Statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of certain documents are not necessarily complete and, in each instance, reference is made to the copy of the document filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. Each such statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference.

We are required to file with the various securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the applicable provinces and territories of Canada, annual and quarterly reports, material change reports and other information. We are also an SEC registrant subject to the informational requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, accordingly, file with, or furnish to, the SEC certain reports and other information. Under the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, these reports and other information (including financial information) may be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada, which differ from those of the United States. We are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking information herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein are provided as of the date of such documents only and the Corporation does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information, except as required by law.

Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information is based on reasonable assumptions that have been made by Sandstorm Gold as at the date of such information and is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual actions, events or results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions; the absence of control over mining operations from which Sandstorm Gold will purchase gold and other metals or from which it will receive royalty payments and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, delays in mine construction and operations, actual results of mining and current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; problems inherent to the marketability of gold and other metals; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of the primary commodities mined at such operations, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in interest rates; government entities interpreting existing tax legislation or enacting new tax legislation in a way which adversely affects Sandstorm Gold; stock market volatility; competition; the potential impact of natural disasters, terrorist acts, health crises and other disruptions and dislocations, including the COVID-19 pandemic; as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the annual information form of the Corporation dated March 30, 2020 (the “Annual Information Form”) and incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-looking information in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, includes, among other things, disclosure regarding: Sandstorm Gold’s existing Streams (as defined herein) and royalties; as well as its future outlook and mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates for each of the Santa Elena mine, the Chapada mine, the Hod Maden project, and the Cerro Moro project, production and cost estimates and expected plans with regard to certain assets of Mariana Resources Limited. Documents incorporated by reference, such as the Annual Information Form and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019 include forward-looking information with respect to, among other things, the Corporation’s corporate development and strategy. Forward-looking information is based on assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including but not limited to the continued operation of the mining operations from which Sandstorm Gold will purchase gold and other metals, or from which it will receive royalty payments, no material adverse change in the market price of commodities, that the mining operations will operate in accordance with their public statements and achieve their stated production outcomes, and such other assumptions and factors as set out therein.

Although Sandstorm Gold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as future actions and events and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Any statement so modified or superseded shall thereafter neither constitute, nor be deemed to constitute, a part of this prospectus, except as so modified or superseded.

When the Corporation files a new annual information form, audited consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis and, where required, they are accepted by the applicable securities regulatory authorities during the time that this prospectus is valid, the previous annual information form, the previous audited consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis and all unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis for such periods, all material change reports and any business acquisition report filed prior to the commencement of the Corporation’s financial year in which the new annual information form is filed will be deemed no longer to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus for purposes of future offers and sales of Securities under this prospectus. Upon new unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis being filed by the Corporation with the applicable securities regulatory authorities during the term of this prospectus, all unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis filed prior to the filing of the new unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements shall be deemed no longer to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus for purposes of future offers and sales of Securities hereunder.

A prospectus supplement containing the specific terms of any offering of Securities will be delivered to purchasers of Securities together with this prospectus and will be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus as of the date of the prospectus supplement and only for the purposes of the offering to which that prospectus supplement pertains.

TECHNICAL AND THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

Except where otherwise stated, the disclosure in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, relating to properties and operations on the properties in which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests, including the disclosure included in the sections entitled “General Development of the Business”, “Description of the Business” and “Technical Information” in the Annual Information Form, is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of these properties and information/data available in the public domain as at the date hereof or as of the date of (or as specified in) this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, and none of this information has been independently verified by the Corporation. Specifically, as a royalty or stream holder, the Corporation has limited, if any, access to properties included in its asset portfolio. Additionally, the Corporation may from time to time receive operating information from the owners and operators of the properties, which it is not permitted to disclose to the public. The Corporation is dependent on, (i) the operators of the properties and their qualified persons to provide information to the Corporation, or (ii) publicly available information (including the information described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein) to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests, and generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Such information is necessarily imprecise because it depends upon the judgment of the individuals who operate the properties on which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests. Although the Corporation does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third party information is complete or accurate. Some information publicly reported by owners or operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by the Corporation’s royalty, stream or other interests. The Corporation’s royalty, stream or other interests often cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, mineral resources and production of a property.

The disclosure in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein relating to mineral reserve and mineral resource statements for individual properties is made as at the dates indicated. In addition, numerical information contained herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein which has been derived from information publicly disclosed by owners or operators may have been rounded by the Corporation and, therefore, there may be some inconsistencies within the information presented herein or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, on the one hand, and with respect to significant digits presented in the information publicly disclosed by owners or operators, on the other hand.

The Corporation considers its stream and royalty interests in the Santa Elena mine, the Chapada mine, the Hod Maden project and the Cerro Moro project to be its only material mineral properties for the purposes of NI 43-101. Information contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein with respect to each of the Santa Elena mine, the Chapada mine and the Cerro Moro project has been prepared in accordance with the exemption set forth in section 9.2 of NI 43-101.

Unless otherwise noted, the disclosure contained herein or in the documents incorporated herein by reference of a scientific or technical nature for the Santa Elena mine is based on (i) the technical report entitled “Update to Santa Elena Pre-Feasibility Study, Sonora, Mexico” dated March 31, 2015, and having an effective date of December 31, 2014, which technical report was prepared for SilverCrest Mines Inc. (now First Majestic Silver Corp. (“First Majestic”)), and filed under First Majestic’s SEDAR profile on October 1, 2015 (the “Santa Elena Report”); and (ii) information that has been provided by First Majestic, and has been sourced from First Majestic’s news releases with respect to the Santa Elena mine dated February 19, 2020 and February 24, 2020, First Majestic’s annual information form dated March 29, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and First Majestic’s management discussion and analysis dated February 18, 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The technical and scientific information contained herein or in the documents incorporated by reference herein relating to the Santa Elena mine was reviewed and approved in accordance with NI 43-101 by Ramon Mendoza Reyes, P. Eng., Vice President of Operations and Technical Services for First Majestic, a qualified person under NI 43-101.

Unless otherwise noted, the disclosure contained herein or in the documents incorporated herein by reference of a scientific or technical nature for the Chapada mine is based on (i) the technical report entitled “Technical Report on the Chapada Mine, Goiás State, Brazil” dated October 10, 2019, which technical report was prepared for Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining”), and filed under Lundin Mining’s SEDAR profile on October 10, 2019; and (ii) information that has been provided by Lundin Mining, and has been sourced from Lundin Mining’s news releases with respect to the Chapada mine dated November 26, 2019 and January 22, 2020 and Lundin Mining’s annual information form dated March 27, 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The technical and scientific information contained herein or in the documents incorporated by reference herein relating to the Chapada mine was reviewed and approved in accordance with NI 43-101 by Keith Laskowski, MSc., Vice President Technical Services of the Corporation, a qualified person under NI 43-101.

Unless otherwise noted, the disclosure contained herein or in the documents incorporated herein by reference of a scientific or technical nature for the Hod Maden project is based on the technical report entitled “Hod Maden Project Pre Feasibility Study NI 43-101” having an effective date of May 31, 2018, which technical report was prepared for the Corporation, and filed on the Corporation’s SEDAR profile on June 26, 2018 (the “Hod Maden Report”).

THE CORPORATION

Sandstorm Gold is a non-operating gold streaming and royalty company which generates its revenue primarily from the sale of gold and other metals, and from the receipt of royalty payments. Sandstorm Gold currently has a portfolio of 191 Gold Streams (as defined herein) and net smelter return (“NSR”) and other royalty agreements, of which 23 of the underlying mines are producing.

Sandstorm Gold is a growth-focused company that seeks to acquire gold and other metals purchase agreements (each, a “Gold Stream” or a “Stream”) from companies which have advanced stage development projects or operating mines. In return for making upfront payments to acquire a Stream, Sandstorm Gold receives the right to purchase, at a fixed price per unit or at variable prices passed on spot, a percentage of a mine’s production for the operating life of the asset. Sandstorm Gold is focused on acquiring Streams and royalties on mines with low production costs, significant exploration potential and strong management teams.

A royalty is a payment to a royalty holder by a property owner or an operator of a property and is typically based on a percentage of the minerals or other products produced or the revenues or profits generated from the property. Royalties are not typically working interests in a property and, depending on the nature of a royalty interest and the laws applicable to it and the project, the royalty holder is generally not responsible for, and has no obligation to contribute additional funds for any purpose, including, but not limited to, operating or capital costs or environmental or reclamation liabilities. An NSR royalty is generally based on the value of production or net proceeds received by an operator from a smelter or refinery. These proceeds are usually subject to deductions or charges for transportation, insurance, smelting and refining costs as set out in the specific royalty agreement. For gold royalties, the deductions are generally minimal. NSR’s generally provide cash flow which is free of any operating or capital costs and environmental liabilities. A smaller percentage NSR in a project can effectively equate to the economic value of a larger percentage profit or working interest in the same project.

Streams and royalties are an alternative to other more conventional forms of financing, including equity, convertible securities and debt financings which can be used to finance mineral projects. Sandstorm Gold competes directly with these other sources of capital to provide financing. Sandstorm Gold plans to grow and diversify its production profile through the acquisition of additional Streams and royalties. There is no assurance, however, that any potential acquisitions will be successfully completed.

The documents incorporated by reference herein, including the Annual Information Form, contain further details regarding the business of Sandstorm Gold. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to invest in the Securities, investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in, and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in, this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. An investment in the Securities is subject to certain risks, including risks related to the business of the Corporation, risks related to mining operations and risks related to the Corporation’s securities described in the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See the risk factors below and the “Risk Factors” section of any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and therein. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a loss of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors

Prospective U.S. investors should be aware that they could be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences if we are classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The determination of whether we are a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations, and such determination will depend on the composition of our income, expenses and assets from time to time and the nature of the activities performed by our officers and employees. Prospective U.S. investors should carefully read the tax discussion in this prospectus supplement for more information and consult their own tax advisors regarding the likelihood and consequences of the Corporation being treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including the advisability of making certain elections that may mitigate certain possible adverse income tax consequences but may result in an inclusion in gross income without receipt of such income.

Our activities may be adversely affected by natural disasters, terrorist acts, health crises and other disruptions and dislocations, including by the COVID-19 pandemic, whether those effects are local, nationwide or global

Upon the occurrence of a natural disaster, pandemic or upon an incident of war, riot or civil unrest, the impacted country, and the overall global economy, may not efficiently and quickly recover from such an event, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Corporation. Terrorist attacks, public health crises including epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks of new infectious diseases or viruses, and related events can result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains, operations, mobility of people, patterns of consumption and service and the financial markets, which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business, financial conditions, results of operations and other factors relevant to the Corporation.

Global markets have been adversely impacted by emerging infectious diseases and/or the threat of outbreaks of viruses, other contagions or epidemic diseases, including more recently, the novel COVID-19. A significant outbreak could result in a widespread crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial and commodity markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn which could adversely affect the Corporation’s business, or the business of the companies in which we have an investment, and the market price of the Common Shares and the Listed Warrants. Many industries, including the mining industry, have been impacted by these market conditions. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, it may result in a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, availability of credit, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Corporation’s business and the market price of the Corporation’s securities. In addition, there may not be an adequate response to emerging infectious diseases, or significant restrictions may be imposed by a government, either of which may impact mining operations. There are potentially significant economic and social impacts, including labour shortages and shutdowns, delays and disruption in supply chains, social unrest, government or regulatory actions or inactions, including quarantines, travel restrictions, declaration of national emergencies, permanent changes in taxation or policies, decreased demand or the inability to sell and deliver concentrates and resulting commodities, declines in the price of commodities, delays in permitting or approvals, suspensions or mandated shut downs of operations, governmental disruptions or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. At this time the Corporation cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations or financial results, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread, the duration of the outbreak, and the length restrictions or responses that have been or may be imposed by the governments. Given the global nature of the Corporation’s operations, the Corporation may not be able to accurately predict which operations will be impacted. Any outbreak or threat of an outbreak of a contagions or epidemic disease could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, its business and operational results.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, since the date of the Annual Financial Statements, other than an additional draw and repayment under the revolving credit facility such that an aggregate of approximately U.S.$50 million is currently drawn under the facility and the issuance of 15,000,000 Common Shares on the exercise of 15,000,000 Warrants on April 17, 2020 at an exercise price of U.S.$3.35 per Warrant for gross exercise proceeds to the Corporation of approximately U.S.$50.3 million.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the Corporation currently expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities offered hereby to finance future Streams and the purchase of royalties and/or for other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of the offering and will be described in the relevant prospectus supplement. The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including equity and debt securities) other than pursuant to this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement.

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIO

Earnings coverage ratios will be provided as required in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to the issuance of Debt Securities pursuant to this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation may from time to time, during the 25-month period that this prospectus remains valid, offer for sale and issue Securities. We may issue and sell up to U.S.$350,000,000, in the aggregate, of Securities.

We may offer and sell the Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers or through agents. We may offer Securities in the same offering, or we may offer Securities in separate offerings. Each prospectus supplement, to the extent applicable, will describe the number and terms of the Securities to which such prospectus supplement relates, the name or names of any underwriters or agents with whom we have entered into arrangements with respect to the sale of such Securities, the public offering or purchase price of such Securities and our net proceeds. The prospectus supplement will also include any underwriting discounts or commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation and will identify any securities exchanges on which the Securities may be listed.

The Securities may be sold, from time to time, in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price, at varied prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators, including sales made directly on the TSX, NYSE or other existing trading markets for the Securities. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of the Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable prospectus supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such prospectus supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation. We will obtain any requisite exemptive relief prior to conducting “at-the-market distributions”.

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with such Securities offered by that prospectus supplement.

Under agreements which may be entered into by us, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. The underwriters, dealers and agents with whom we enter into agreements may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

Agents, underwriters or dealers may make sales of Securities in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at-the-market distribution” as defined in NI 44-102 and subject to limitations imposed by and the terms of any regulatory approvals required and obtained under, applicable Canadian securities laws which includes sales made directly on an existing trading market for the Common Shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on a securities exchange. In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an “at-the-market distribution”, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

No underwriter or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution” as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation, no affiliate of such underwriter or dealer and no person acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer has over-allotted, or will over-allot, Securities in connection with an offering of Securities or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by eligible institutions to purchase Securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement under delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The conditions to these contracts and the commissions payable for solicitation of these contracts will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Each class or series of Securities, other than the Common Shares, will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Subject to applicable laws, any underwriter may make a market in such Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. There may be limited liquidity in the trading market for any such Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not intend to list any of the Securities other than the Common Shares on any securities exchange. Consequently, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, there is no trading market through which the Debt Securities, the Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell any such Securities purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”. No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Shares

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. As of April 17, 2020, there were 189,211,583 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of any meetings of shareholders of the Corporation, to attend and to cast one vote per Common Share at all such meetings. Holders of Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors and, accordingly, holders of a majority of the Common Shares entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all directors standing for election. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis such dividends, if any, as and when declared by the Corporation’s board of directors at its discretion from funds legally available for the payment of dividends and upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis the net assets of the Corporation after payment of debts and other liabilities, in each case subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other series or class of shares ranking senior in priority to or on a pro rata basis with the holders of Common Shares with respect to dividends or liquidation. The Common Shares do not carry any pre-emptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they contain any sinking or purchase fund provisions.

Debt Securities

In this section describing the Debt Securities, the term “Corporation” refers only to Sandstorm Gold Ltd. without any of its subsidiaries.

As of April 17, 2020, there are no Debt Securities outstanding. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Debt Securities that may be issued hereunder and is not intended to be complete. The Debt Securities may be offered separately or together with other Securities, as the case may be. The specific terms of Debt Securities, including the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those Debt Securities, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The Debt Securities will be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be entered into between the Corporation and one or more trustees (the “Trustee”) that will be named in a prospectus supplement for a series of Debt Securities. To the extent applicable, the Indenture will be subject to and governed by the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. A copy of the form of the Indenture to be entered into has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and will be filed with the securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada when it is entered into. The description of certain provisions of the Indenture in this section do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Indenture. Terms used in this summary that are not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Indenture.

The Corporation may issue Debt Securities and incur additional indebtedness other than through the offering of Debt Securities pursuant to this prospectus.

General

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities which the Corporation may issue under the Indenture and does not limit the amount of other indebtedness that the Corporation may incur. The Indenture provides that the Corporation may issue Debt Securities from time to time in one or more series which may be denominated and payable in United States dollars, Canadian dollars or any other currency. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Indenture also permits the Corporation, without the consent of the holders of any Debt Securities, to increase the principal amount of any series of Debt Securities the Corporation has previously issued under the Indenture and to issue such increased principal amount.

The particular terms relating to Debt Securities offered by a prospectus supplement (the “Offered Securities”) will be described in the related prospectus supplement. This description may include, but may not be limited to, any of the following, if applicable:

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement:

The Corporation may issue Debt Securities under the Indenture bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance and, in such circumstances, the Corporation may offer and sell those Debt Securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. The Corporation will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any discounted Debt Securities or other Debt Securities offered and sold at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Any Debt Securities issued by the Corporation will be direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Corporation and will rank equally among themselves and with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, except to the extent prescribed by law. Debt Securities issued by the Corporation will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables and other indebtedness, of the Corporation’s subsidiaries. The Corporation will agree to provide to the Trustee (i) annual reports containing audited financial statements and (ii) quarterly reports for the first three quarters of each fiscal year containing unaudited financial information.

Form, Denomination, Exchange and Transfer

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Corporation will issue Debt Securities only in fully registered form without coupons, and in denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000. Debt Securities may be presented for exchange and registered Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer in the manner to be set forth in the Indenture and in the applicable prospectus supplement, without service charges. The Corporation may, however, require payment sufficient to cover any taxes or other governmental charges due in connection with the exchange or transfer. The Corporation will appoint the Trustee as security registrar. Bearer Debt Securities and the coupons applicable to bearer Debt Securities thereto will be transferable by delivery.

Payment

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Corporation will make payments on registered Debt Securities (other than Global Securities) at the office or agency of the Trustee, except that the Corporation may choose to pay interest (a) by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to such payment as specified in the security register, or (b) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the person entitled to such payment as specified in the security register. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Corporation will pay any interest due on registered Debt Securities to the persons in whose name such registered Securities are registered on the day or days specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Registered Global Securities

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, registered Debt Securities of a series will be issued in global form that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary (the “Depositary”) identified in the prospectus supplement. Global Securities will be registered in the name of the Depositary, and the Debt Securities included in the Global Securities may not be transferred to the name of any other direct holder unless the special circumstances described below occur. Any person wishing to own Debt Securities issued in the form of Global Securities must do so indirectly by virtue of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that, in turn, has an account with the Depositary.

Special Investor Considerations for Global Securities

The Corporation’s obligations under the Indenture, as well as the obligations of the Trustee and those of any third parties employed by the Corporation or the Trustee, run only to persons who are registered as holders of Debt Securities. For example, once the Corporation makes payment to the registered holder, the Corporation has no further responsibility for the payment even if that holder is legally required to pass the payment along to an investor but does not do so. As an indirect holder, an investor’s rights relating to a Global Security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s financial institution and of the Depositary, as well as general laws relating to debt securities transfers.

An investor should be aware that when Debt Securities are issued in the form of Global Securities:

Special Situations When Global Security Will be Terminated

In a few special situations described below, a Global Security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing Debt Securities. After that exchange, an investor may choose whether to hold Debt Securities directly or indirectly through an account at its bank, brokerage firm or other financial institution. Investors must consult their own banks, brokers or other financial institutions to find out how to have their interests in Debt Securities transferred into their own names, so that they will be registered holders of the Debt Securities represented by each Global Security.

The special situations for termination of a Global Security are:

The prospectus supplement may list situations for terminating a Global Security that would apply only to the particular series of Debt Securities covered by the prospectus supplement. When a Global Security terminates, the Depositary (and not the Corporation or the Trustee) will be responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

Merger, Amalgamation or Consolidation

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Corporation may not amalgamate or consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person unless: (a) either (1) the Corporation is the continuing corporation or (2) the person (if other than the Corporation) formed by such consolidation or amalgamation or into which the Corporation is merged or the person which acquires by conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition the properties and assets of the Corporation substantially as an entirety (i) is a corporation, company, partnership or trust organized and validly existing under (A) the federal laws of Canada or the laws of any province or territory thereof, (B) the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (C) if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other transaction would not impair (as determined by resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation) the rights of the holders of the applicable series of Debt Securities, in any other country, provided, that if such successor corporation is organized under the laws of such other country described in this clause (C), the successor corporation shall, pursuant to the supplemental indenture referred to in clause (ii) below, (1) expressly become obligated to provide an opinion of counsel in such successor jurisdiction or a ruling from the applicable taxing authority in such successor jurisdiction in connection with any defeasance of such Debt Securities pursuant to the Indenture, (2) add certain references to such successor jurisdiction in the Indenture, (3) appropriately revise the Indenture to add references to any “preference” or other similar period under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of the successor jurisdiction or any province, territory, state or other political subdivision thereof and, (4) if necessary, revise the Indenture to extend the 91-day period referred to therein so that it is at least one day longer than any such “preference” or similar period of the successor jurisdiction, and (ii) assumes by operation of law or expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture with respect to all Debt Securities of each series outstanding under the Indenture, all of the obligations of the Corporation under such Debt Securities; and (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Default or Event of Default (each, as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing.

In the event of any transaction described in and complying with the conditions listed in the immediately preceding paragraph in which the Corporation is not the continuing corporation, the successor or continuing person formed or remaining will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Corporation under the Indenture, and thereafter the Corporation will, except in the case of a lease, be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the indenture and the outstanding Debt Securities of each series.

Events of Default

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the term “Event of Default” with respect to Debt Securities of any series means any of the following:

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Debt Securities of any series, then the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25 per cent in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series may require the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are original issue discount securities or indexed securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the outstanding Debt Securities of that series and any accrued but unpaid interest on such Debt Securities be paid immediately. However, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of any series or all series affected (or of all series, as the case may be) has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series or of all series affected (or of all series, as the case may be), by written notice to the Corporation and the Trustee, may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain provisions relating to acceleration of the maturity of a portion of the principal amount of original issue discount securities or indexed securities upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the continuation thereof.

Other than its duties in the case of an Event of Default, the Trustee will not be obligated to exercise any of its rights and powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. If the holders provide reasonable indemnity, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by an Event of Default may, subject to certain limitations, direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of all series affected by such Event of Default.

No holder of a Debt Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, unless:

However, these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of payment of principal of or interest on such Debt Security on or after the applicable due date of such payment.

The Corporation will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually an officers’ certificate as to the performance of certain of its obligations under the Indenture and as to any default in such performance.

Defeasance

In this section, the term “defeasance” means discharge from some or all of the Corporation’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, if the Corporation deposits with the Trustee sufficient cash or government securities to pay the principal, interest, any premium and any other sums due to the stated maturity or a redemption date of the Debt Securities of a particular series, then at its option:

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, to exercise defeasance the Corporation also must deliver to the Trustee:

In addition, no Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of the applicable series can have occurred and the Corporation cannot be an insolvent person under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada). In order for U.S. counsel to deliver the opinion that would allow the Corporation to be discharged from all of its obligations under the Debt Securities of any series, the Corporation must have received from, or there must have been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or there must have been a change in law so that the deposit and defeasance would not cause holders of the Debt Securities of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and so that such holders would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

Modifications and Waivers

The Corporation may modify or amend the Indenture with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however, unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, that the Corporation will be required to receive consent from the holder of each outstanding Debt Security of such affected series to:

The holders of a majority in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series or of the affected series may waive the Corporation’s compliance with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture with respect to such series. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of all series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred may waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debt Security or in respect of any item listed above.

The Indenture or the Debt Securities may be amended or supplemented, without the consent of any holder of such Debt Securities, in order to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or inconsistency, or to make any change, in any case, that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of such Debt Securities.

Consent to Jurisdiction and Service

Under the Indenture, the Corporation will irrevocably appoint an authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Offered Securities or the Indenture that may be instituted in any United States federal or New York state court located in The City of New York, and will submit to such non-exclusive jurisdiction.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the Debt Securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Enforceability of Judgments

Since a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation are outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against the Corporation may need to be satisfied by seeking enforcement of such judgment in a court located outside of the United States from the Corporation’s assets. The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated upon United States federal securities laws.

The Trustee

The Trustee under the Indenture or its affiliates may provide banking and other services to the Corporation in the ordinary course of their business.

The Indenture will contain certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, as long as it or any of its affiliates remains the Corporation’s creditor, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received on any claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee and its affiliates will be permitted to engage in other transactions with the Corporation. If the Trustee or any affiliate acquires any conflicting interest and a default occurs with respect to the Debt Securities, the Trustee must eliminate the conflict or resign.

Warrants

As of April 17, 2020, there were 4,949,689 Warrants expiring November 3, 2020. The Corporation may issue Warrants to purchase Common Shares or Debt Securities. Warrants may be issued independently or together with other Securities and may be attached to or separate from those Securities. Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant indentures, including supplemental indentures to one of our existing warrant indentures, to be entered into between the Corporation and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent, to be named in the relevant prospectus supplement, which will establish the terms and conditions of the Warrants. A copy of any warrant indenture or supplemental warrant indenture relating to an offering of Warrants will be filed by us with the securities regulatory authorities in applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions and the United States after we have entered into it.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Warrants and is not intended to be complete. You should read the particular terms of the Warrants that are offered by us, which will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any warrant indenture and Warrants to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable warrant indenture and the prospectus supplement describing such warrant indenture. The prospectus supplement will also state whether any of the general provisions summarized below do not apply to the Warrants being offered.

Any prospectus supplement relating to any Warrants the Corporation offers will describe the terms of the Warrants and include specific terms relating to their offering. All such terms will comply with the requirements of the TSX and the NYSE relating to Warrants. This description will include, where applicable:

The holders of Warrants will not be shareholders of the Corporation. Holders of Warrants are entitled only to receive the Common Shares or Debt Securities subject to the Warrants on satisfaction of the conditions provided in the warrant indenture or supplemental warrant indenture.

Subscription Receipts

As of April 17, 2020, there are no Subscription Receipts outstanding. The Corporation may issue Subscription Receipts that will entitle holders to receive, upon satisfaction of certain release conditions and for no additional consideration, Common Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants, Units or any combination thereof. Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to one or more subscription receipt agreements (each, a “Subscription Receipt Agreement”), each to be entered into between the Corporation and an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), to be named in the relevant prospectus supplement, which will establish the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts. Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. If underwriters or agents are used in the sale of any Subscription Receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be a party to the Subscription Receipt Agreement governing the Subscription Receipts sold to or through such underwriter or agent. A copy of any Subscription Receipt Agreement will be filed by us with the securities regulatory authorities in applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions and the United States after we have entered into it.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Subscription Receipts and is not intended to be complete. You should read the particular terms of the Subscription Receipts that are offered by us, which will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any Subscription Receipt Agreement and Subscription Receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Subscription Receipt Agreement and the prospectus supplement describing such Subscription Receipt Agreement. The prospectus supplement will also state whether any of the general provisions summarized below do not apply to the Subscription Receipts being offered.

If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of Subscription Receipts shall be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price therefor and all or a portion of the pro rata share of interest earned or income generated thereon, as provided in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Escrow

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will provide that the Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, and such Escrowed Funds will be released to the Corporation (and, if the Subscription Receipts are sold to or through underwriters or agents, a portion of the Escrowed Funds may be released to such underwriters or agents in payment of all or a portion of their fees in connection with the sale of the Subscription Receipts) at the time and under the terms specified by the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price for their Subscription Receipts plus their pro rata entitlement to interest earned or income generated on such amount, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Common Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants, Units or any combination thereof may be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, and will be released to the holders of Subscription Receipts following satisfaction of the Release Conditions at the time and under the terms specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Rescission

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will also provide that any material misrepresentation in this prospectus, the prospectus supplement under which the Subscription Receipts are offered, or any amendment hereto or thereto, will entitle each initial purchaser of Subscription Receipts to a contractual right of rescission following the issuance of the Common Shares, Debt Securities or Warrants to such purchaser entitling such purchaser to receive the amount paid for the Subscription Receipts upon surrender of the Common Shares, Debt Securities or Warrants, provided that such remedy for rescission is exercised in the time stipulated in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. This right of rescission does not extend to holders of Subscription Receipts who acquire such Subscription Receipts from an initial purchaser, on the open market or otherwise, or to initial purchasers who acquire Subscription Receipts in the United States.

Global Securities

The Corporation may issue Subscription Receipts in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, which will be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global security. The applicable prospectus supplement will also describe the exchange, registration and transfer rights relating to any global security.

Modifications

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will provide for modifications and alterations to the Subscription Receipts issued thereunder by way of a resolution of holders of Subscription Receipts at a meeting of such holders or by a consent in writing from such holders. The number of holders of Subscription Receipts required to pass such a resolution or execute such a written consent will be specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Subscription Receipt Agreement will also specify that the Corporation may amend any Subscription Receipt Agreement and the Subscription Receipts, without the consent of the holders of the Subscription Receipts, to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision, or in any other manner that will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of outstanding Subscription Receipts or as otherwise specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.
