    At the end of calendar 2015, precious metals reserves on properties subject to the Company’s interests were 86.1 million ounces of gold and 779.5 million ounces of silver.

    This compares to reserves of 73.7 million ounces of gold and 764.0 million ounces of silver estimated as of December 31, 2014.

    After applying the Company’s interests to the reserves noted above, net gold reserves attributable to Royal Gold totaled 5.8 million ounces, compared with 5.1 million ounces at year-end 2014.

    The increase in reserves were primarily due to our acquisition of the Wassa and Prestea, Rainy River, Andacollo and Pueblo Viejo streams.
