Environmental Challenges

- intense competition in the resource industry, market conditions and the Company’s ability to access new sources of capital, mineral property title, results from property exploration and development activities, and currency fluctuations.
- Amendments to Mining Laws in Mexico

- No Assurance of Titles
- Foreign Countries and Political Risks
- Government Regulations and Permitting Requirements Risks
- Delayed payments as a result of factors that are beyond the control of the Company could result in material and adverse effect on the status of and performance of its Royalties.
Mitigation Strategies
- The Company manages interest rate risk by investing in short-term fixed interest financial instruments with varying maturity periods when feasible to provide access to funds as required.

- The Company has filed amparo lawsuits to challenge the constitutionality of the Decree which to date has received definitive suspension for its outstanding claim applications.
- The Company minimizes credit risk by reviewing the credit risk of the counterparties to its arrangements on a periodic basis.
