The forward-looking statements contained in the exhibits incorporated by reference into this Form 40-F are made only as of the respective dates set forth in such exhibits. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or otherwise, 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 as at the date of such information and is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company 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; each of the Mining Operations (as defined in the AIF); the absence of control over Mining Operations from which Sandstorm Gold will purchase gold or other commodities 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 minerals; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of metals, 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; the number or aggregate value of

Common Shares (as defined in the AIF) which may be purchased under the NCIB (as defined in the AIF) or the Automatic Share Purchase Plan, audits being conducted by the CRA (as defined in the AIF) and available remedies; the expectation that the terms of the earn-in-milestone payments of SSR Mining’s (as defined in the AIF) agreement to acquire a 40% operating interest in the Hod Maden Project (as defined in the AIF) will be fulfilled, its intention to pursue and successfully obtain sufficient project financing, including expectation of benefits to the overall development of the project as a result of the SSR Mining acquisition and its ability to fulfil its role as operator of the Hod Maden Project, including the social and regulatory license to operate; the expectations that the Company’s transactions with Horizon (as defined in the AIF) as described in this AIF will provide the potential benefits and synergies of the transactions and the ability of Sandstorm to successfully achieve business objectives, including integrating the companies or assets or the effects of unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; management’s expectations regarding the growth potential of Sandstorm, including in scale and production and the anticipated benefits of the transactions with Horizon; management’s expectations regarding Sandstorm’s growth; stock market volatility; competition; the potential impact of natural disasters, terrorist acts, wars and conflicts, trade wars, health crises and other disruptions and dislocations, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” herein.

Forward-looking information in this AIF includes, among other things, disclosure regarding: audits being conducted by the CRA and available remedies, management’s expectations regarding the Company’s growth, Sandstorm Gold’s existing Streams (as defined in the AIF) and royalties and the payments to be made and received thereunder, the exploration, development and operation of the Mining Operations, Sandstorm’s future outlook, the operators of the mines ability to fulfil their roles as operators, including the social and regulatory licenses to operate, the Mineral Reserve (as defined in the AIF), Mineral Resource (as defined in the AIF) and production estimates for any of the Mining Operations, the use of, or amounts drawn under, the Credit Facility (as defined in the AIF) and the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and the Company’s climate change and sustainability goals, including its emissions reduction targets. 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 commodities 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 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.

NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS -
DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Company is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this Form 40-F in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Company is also subject to Canadian auditor independence standards, as well as certain U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB).

The Company prepares its annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards" or "IFRS"). Consequently, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those prepared by U.S. companies. The Company’s Audited Financial Statements and the Company’s MD&A are each included in the Annual Report which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 40-F.

CURRENCY

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this annual report on Form 40-F are in United States dollars. The exchange rate of United States dollars into Canadian dollars, on December 31, 2024 based upon the daily average exchange rate as published by the Bank of Canada, was U.S. $1.00 = CDN $1.4389. The

exchange rate of United States dollars into Canadian dollars, on March 28, 2025 based upon the daily average exchange rate as published by the Bank of Canada, was U.S. $1.00 = CDN 1.4307.

CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

Disclosure in this Form 40-F, the Company’s AIF, the Annual Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ in some material respects from the disclosure requirements of United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “inferred mineral resources,”, “indicated mineral resources,” “measured mineral resources” and “mineral resources” used or referenced in this Form 40-F and the documents incorporated by reference herein are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as 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 (the “CIM Definition Standards”). The definitions of these terms, and other mining terms and disclosures, may differ from the definitions of such terms, if any, for purposes of the SEC’s disclosure rules for companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under U.S. federal securities laws and the rules promulgated thereunder (the “SEC Rules”).

As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Rules and provides disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information and other technical information contained in this Form 40-F and the documents incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements and rules for domestic United States issuers.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty of measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources, these mineral resources may never be upgraded to proven and probable mineral reserves. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves or recovered. In addition, United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Company’s measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources constitute or will be converted into mineral reserves or are or will be economically or legally mineable without additional work.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Form 40-F, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Form 40-F, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in National Instrument 52-109 in Canada and in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

With the participation of the CEO and CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, following the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded in its report that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting (the “Report”) is included with the MD&A and is incorporated by reference herein.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, included with the Audited Financial Statements and incorporated by reference herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Form 40-F, no changes occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REGULATION BTR

The Company was not required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR to send any notice to its directors and executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 concerning any equity security subject to a blackout period under Rule 101 of Regulation BTR.

Swarthout is (i) an audit committee financial expert, under the applicable criteria prescribed by the SEC in the general instructions of Form 40-F and (ii) independent, under the applicable NYSE listing standards.

The SEC has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and Board in the absence of such designation, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board.

Audit Committee Charter

The Company’s audit committee charter is attached as an exhibit or schedule to the AIF, available for review on the Company’s website at www.sandstormgold.com and available in print without charge to any shareholder that provides the Company with a written request addressed to the Company’s Corporate Secretary.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company’s Board has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics, as amended (the “Code”) that applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not make any amendments to the Code, nor did the Company grant any waiver or implicit waiver of the Code to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

The Company is a resource-based Company that acquires gold streams and other metals purchase agreements (“Gold Streams” or “Streams”) from companies that have advanced stage development projects or

In return for making upfront payments to acquire a Stream, Sandstorm receives the right to purchase, at a fixed price per ounce or at a fixed percentage of the spot price, a percentage of a mine’s gold, silver, or other commodity production for the life of the mine. Accordingly, the Company’s purchase commitments with respect to each Stream are not based on time periods, such as less than 1 year or 1 to 3 years, but rather continue for the life of the mine. Furthermore, in connection with the Company’s various Streams, certain payments are advanced to companies as their mining projects are advanced. These payments are subject to certain funding conditions and are not based on time periods. For a description of the purchase commitments of the Company, see “Commitments and Contingencies” and “Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies” in the Annual Report and incorporated by reference herein.
