Key Investment Points Historically successful management Unique business model Highly undervalued Strong technical indicators Timing = OPPORTUNISTIC Competitors  next to none!

Industry Overview “ The Mining sector comprises establishments that extract naturally occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. The term mining is used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations, beneficiating (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, and flotation), and other preparation customarily performed at the mine site, or as a part of mining activity.” THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR --Bureau of Statistics--

Industry Overview Strong yet volatile outlook for metals/mining industry Current focus  continued growth through expanded production. The demand for metals/energy faces no foreseeable threats. Mining = incredibly capital intensive  difficult MKT entry Only a handful of blue chip companies have the means to reach production.

E&P(exploration and production) miners are often weeded out altogether. The potential profits for these “junior miners” are rarely realized. Projects that lack funding are abandoned INCLUDING many with fundamentally sound operational strategies. Against this economic setting, Sandstorm has spotted what it hopes to be a MORE than just “golden” opportunity.

Sandstorm provides startup capital for mining projects it deems likely to succeed if given the opportunity to begin production. In return, Sandstorm receives the RIGHT to buy a percentage of the commodity throughout the life of the ENTIRE project at a fixed price. This price remains constant in spite of any cost increases the company may incur. More importantly, It is virtually IMMUNE to any and all economic factors which normally increase price!!!

SWOT Analysis Strengths  Unique streaming method  Historical success in our portfolio  Experienced exploration and development research teams  Established Infrastructure  ZERO debt  Low overhead Weaknesses  Some projects are bound to be halted  Sandstorm has the aforementioned “immunity” to price fluctuation. However, their project companies do not. Sandstorm profits rely on their success up to the point of production. Opportunities  Donner Metals scheduled for production  Established Infrastructure  Diversification of streams  Potential for new discoveries  Large cash flows Threats  Although Sandstorm has the aforementioned “immunity” to price fluctuation, the companies it finances do not.  Failure of selected projects = no stream to speak of  Government regulations and policies on commodities are susceptible to change
