Operational Overview 

Financial Review

Revenues

Revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $503 million (65% gold, 33% silver, 1% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $204 million increase relative to the prior period quarter being primarily due to a 32% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 28% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Revenue was $974 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a $378 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year due primarily to a 34% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price; and a 22% increase in the number of GEOs³ sold.

Cash Costs and Margin

Average cash costs¹ in the second quarter of 2025 were $470 per GEO³ as compared to $437 in the second quarter of 2024. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $2,717 per GEO³ sold, an increase of 37% as compared with the second quarter of 2024, a result of the higher realized price per ounce. The higher margin reflects the leverage provided by fixed per-ounce production payments across the majority of Wheaton's operating streams, which accounted for 85% of revenue during the quarter. Notably, year-over-year margin growth exceeded the appreciation in gold prices over the same period, underscoring the effectiveness of Wheaton's business model in leveraging rising commodity prices while maintaining strong cash operating margins.

Average cash costs¹ for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $458 per GEO³ as compared to $435 in the comparable period of the previous year. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $2,554 per GEO³ sold, a 41% increase from comparable period of the previous year, a result of the higher realized price per ounce.

Cash Flow from Operations

Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2025 amounted to $415 million, with the $181 million increase from the comparable period of the prior year, due primarily to the higher gross margin.

Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $776 million, with the $322 million increase from the comparable period of the previous year being due primarily to the higher gross margin.

Produced But Not Yet Delivered

As at June 30, 2025, approximately 130,000 GEOs were produced but not yet delivered ("PBND") representing approximately 2.7 months of payable production. Total PBND ounces decreased quarter-over-quarter as strong production levels in the first quarter of 2025, resulted in an increase to sales realized in the second quarter of 2025, due to the inherent timing delay between production and sales. The Company expects PBND levels to stay at the higher end of its forecasted range of two to three months until the end of 2025, in part due to the ramp up of new mines, forecast to commence operations in the second half of the year.

Balance Sheet (at June 30, 2025)

• Approximately $1.0 billion of cash on hand.
• The Company extended its existing undrawn $2 billion revolving term loan (the "Revolving Facility") with its maturity date now June 30, 2030. In addition, the Company added an incremental $500 million accordion feature, providing expanded financial capacity.
• During the second quarter of 2025, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $347 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting of:
  • $156 million relative to the Koné PMPA;
  • $144 million relative to the Salobo III expansion;
  • $44 million relative to the Kurmuk PMPA; and
  • $3 million relative to the Cangrejos PMPA.
• Subsequent to the quarter, the Company made additional upfront cash payments of $206 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting of:
  • $156 million relative to the Koné PMPA; and
  • $50 million relative to the Fenix PMPA.
• With the existing cash on hand coupled with the fully undrawn $2 billion revolving facility coupled with the $500 million accordion and ongoing operating cash flows, the Company believes it is well positioned to fund all outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests. 

Senior Management Promotions

On June 18, 2025, Wheaton was pleased to announce key senior management promotions as the Company positions itself for its next era of innovation and growth. Effective June 30, 2025, Haytham Hodaly, formerly Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, was appointed to President of the Company. In addition, Curt Bernardi, formerly Senior Vice President Legal and Strategic Development, was promoted to Executive Vice President, Strategy and General Counsel. Randy Smallwood remains the Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton.

Second Quarter Operating Asset Highlights

Salobo: In the second quarter of 2025, Salobo produced 69,400 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 10% relative to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher throughput, partially offset by lower grades. On July 22, 2025, Vale S.A. ("Vale") announced that following the implementation of Salobo 3, the Salobo complex has reached full ramp-up and is consistently delivering strong operational performance.

Antamina: In the second quarter of 2025, Antamina produced 1.3 million ounces of attributable silver, an increase of approximately 31% relative to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to higher grades, partially offset by lower recoveries and the impacts of a full safety shutdown which lasted approximately one week.

Peñasquito: In the second quarter of 2025, Peñasquito produced 2.1 million ounces of attributable silver, a decrease of approximately 7% relative to the second quarter of 2024, primarily the result of lower grades as mining activities have transitioned back into the Peñasco pit which contains lower silver grades relative to the Chile Colorado pit.

Constancia: In the second quarter of 2025, Constancia produced 0.6 million ounces of attributable silver and 4,600 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 22% for silver production and a decrease of approximately 27% for gold production relative to the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in gold was primarily the result of lower grades as more material was mined from the Constancia pit and reclaimed from the stockpile compared with the prior year. On July 3, 2025, it was reported that protests by informal miners in Peru led to intermittent roadblocks along the Southern Road Corridor, impacting major copper operations including Hudbay's Constancia mine and MMG Limited's Las Bambas mine⁸. MMG Limited later confirmed that transportation resumed as of July 15, 2025, following an agreement by artisanal miners to lift the blockades. Wheaton's second quarter deliveries from Constancia remained unaffected by these temporary disruptions.

San Dimas: In the second quarter of 2025, San Dimas produced 7,000 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 1% relative to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower grades and recovery as well as the change of the gold to silver conversion ratio from 70:1 to 90:1, partially offset by higher throughput. In accordance with the San Dimas PMPA, effective April 30, 2025, the fixed gold to silver conversion ratio has been revised from 70:1 to 90:1. (see footnote 4 on page 13 of this press release for more information).

Stillwater: In the second quarter of 2025, the Stillwater mines produced 1,700 ounces of attributable gold and 2,400 ounces of attributable palladium, a decrease of approximately 21% for gold and 44% for palladium relative to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower throughput as Stillwater West operations were placed into care and maintenance in September 2024.

Voisey's Bay: In the second quarter of 2025, the Voisey's Bay mine produced 647,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, an increase of approximately 150% relative to the second quarter of 2024, as the transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey's Bay underground continues. On April 15, 2025, Vale reported the consistent ramp-up of Voisey's Bay's underground operations. The full ramp-up is expected by the second half of 2026.  

Other Gold: In the second quarter of 2025, total Other Gold attributable production was 4,800 ounces, an increase of approximately 721% relative to the second quarter of 2024 due to the initial reported production from the Blackwater Mine, which achieved commercial production on May 1, 2025. Notable operational updates for assets included within 'other gold' include:

• Blackwater: On May 2, 2025, Artemis Gold announced the commencement of commercial production at its Blackwater mine, with mining operations exceeding 90% of its planned tonnage, and both mined tonnes and grades reconciling favorably to the resource model. On June 19, 2025, Artemis Gold announced the acceleration of the design and implementation of Phase 2 of the Blackwater Mine, with a final investment decision by their board anticipated by year-end 2025. On July 14, 2025, Artemis Gold announced that it had further ramped up operations and was producing at a steady state with the mill operating above design capacity for the month of June. Artemis Gold also notes that gold production is expected to be weighted to the second half of the year.
• Marmato: On May 7, 2025, Aris Mining Corporation ("Aris") reported that the processing plant capacity increased from 4,000 tpd to a planned 5,000 tpd. Aris reports that construction remains on track, and production is expected to start ramping up in the second half of 2026. 

Other Silver: In the second quarter of 2025, total Other Silver attributable production was 1.5 million ounces, an increase of approximately 8% relative to the second quarter of 2024, as the initial reported production from Blackwater was offset by lower production at Los Filos.  

Recent Development Asset Updates

Goose Project: On June 30, 2025, B2Gold announced the first gold pour at its Goose project, with the mill running consistently at approximately 50% of nameplate capacity during this initial phase, as planned. B2Gold expects a ramp up to commercial production in the third quarter of 2025.

Mineral Park Project: During the quarter, Waterton's Origin Mining achieved a key milestone by introducing first ore to the mill at its Mineral Park project. Waterton indicates that the ramp-up to commercial production is underway and expected to be reached during the second half of 2025. At steady state throughput, the fully refurbished mill capacity will be 16.5 Mtpa.

Platreef Project: On July 30, 2025, Ivanhoe Mines ("Ivanhoe") announced that development ore is now being hoisted to surface and stockpiled in preparation for the initial feed into the Phase 1 concentrator, which continues advancing toward commercial production in Q4 2025. Phase 1 is the first step of a three-phase expansion plan, which aims to make Platreef one of the world's largest producers of platinum, palladium, rhodium, and gold. Ivanhoe notes that Phase 2 expansion activities are underway and on track for first production in Q4 2027.

Fenix Project: On July 31, 2025, Rio2 Limited ("Rio2") reported that construction was 41% complete, and remains on track and on budget for first gold production in Q1 2026.

Kurmuk Project: On August 6, 2025, Allied Gold Corporation ("Allied") reported that engineering and procurement are approximately 90% complete, with mining fleet mobilization well underway and first units expected to arrive on site imminently. Concurrently, Allied is advancing technical studies aimed at improving operational confidence and flexibility, including potential increases in plant throughput and other targeted optimizations. Allied continues to forecast the commencement of production by mid-2026.

El Domo Project: On April 23, 2025, Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp") reported that it is targeting to bring the project into production by the end of 2026. The construction of the main plant and auxiliary facilities are expected to commence in September 2025, with major equipment installation expected to commence in May 2026. On August 5, 2025, Silvercorp announced that the Constitutional Court of Ecuador has delivered a unanimous decision to uphold the validity of the environmental license for the El Domo project.

Koné Project: On May 27, 2025, Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage") provided a construction update for its Koné project, where construction continues to progress rapidly and remains well on track for first gold pour in Q2 2027. Montage notes that significant progress has been made on the key ongoing workstreams which include the water storage and abstraction facility, and camp construction. Notably, the carbon-in-leach ring beams were completed two months ahead of schedule, marking a key milestone. On July 21, 2025, Montage reported that its exploration program continues to provide significant confidence in achieving the previously published short-term exploration target of discovering more than 1Moz of Measured and Indicated Resources.

Cautionary Language Regarding Reserves and Resources

For further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Wheaton's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed on March 31, 2025 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Wheaton's Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources

The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The Company reports information regarding mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements which are governed by, and utilize definitions required by,  Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). These definitions differ from the definitions adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") which are applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained herein that describes Wheaton's mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Wheaton's Form 40-F, a copy of which may be obtained from Wheaton or from https://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
