Operational Overview

Financial Review

Revenues
Revenue in the third quarter of 2023 was $223 million (65% gold, 32% silver, 2% palladium and 1% cobalt), with the $4 million increase relative to the prior period quarter being primarily due to a 16% increase in realized commodity prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Revenue was $703 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing a $126 million decrease from the comparable period of the previous year due primarily to an 18% decrease in the number of GEOs³ sold, resulting from lower production and relative changes in the GEOs³ produced but not yet delivered; partially offset by a 4% increase in the average realized gold equivalent³ price.

Cash Costs and Margin
Average cash costs¹ in the third quarter of 2023 were $418 per GEO³ as compared to $451 in the third quarter of 2022. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $1,457 per GEO³ sold, an increase of 25% as compared with the third quarter of 2022, a result of the higher realized price per ounce.

Average cash costs¹ for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $427 per GEO³ as compared to $448 in the comparable period of the previous year. This resulted in a cash operating margin¹ of $1,445 per GEO³ sold, a 7% increase from the comparable period of the previous year.

Cash Flow from Operations
Operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2023 amounted to $171 million, with the $17 million increase due primarily to the higher realized price per GEO sold coupled with higher amounts of interest received in the third quarter of 2023.

Operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $509 million, with the $63 million decrease from the comparable period of the previous year being due primarily to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher amounts of interest received during the current year.

Balance Sheet (at September 30, 2023)

• Approximately $834 million of cash on hand
• During the third quarter of 2023, the Company made total upfront cash payments of $90 million relative to the mineral stream interests consisting of
  • $70 million payment relative to the Blackwater Silver precious metals purchase agreement ("PMPA"); and
  • a $20 million payment relative to the expansion of the Blackwater Gold PMPA
• With the existing cash on hand coupled with the fully undrawn $2 billion revolving credit facility, the Company is well positioned to fund all outstanding commitments and known contingencies as well as providing flexibility to acquire additional accretive mineral stream interests.

Third Quarter Operating Asset Highlights

Salobo: In the third quarter of 2023, Salobo produced 69,000 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 56% relative to the third quarter of 2022, driven by higher throughput, with production from the third concentrator line commencing at the end of 2022, and higher recoveries. The prior year was also affected by planned and corrective maintenance being performed. In the third quarter of 2023, Salobo reached its highest production level since the fourth quarter of 2019 as the ramp-up of the Salobo III expansion continues to advance. Salobo is expected to reach a throughput capacity of 32 Mtpa in the fourth quarter of 2023 and full throughput capacity by the end of 2024.

Antamina: In the third quarter of 2023, Antamina produced 0.9 million ounces of attributable silver, a decrease of approximately 35% relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower grades as per the mine plan.

Peñasquito: In the third quarter of 2023, Peñasquito had no production resulting from a suspension of operations at the mine which began on June 7, 2023 due to a labour dispute. On October 13, 2023, Newmont Corporation ("Newmont") reached a definitive agreement to end the strike and has since begun the safe ramp-up of operations. Newmont expects to reach full operating capacity by the end of the fourth quarter.

Constancia: In the third quarter of 2023, Constancia produced 0.7 million ounces of attributable silver and 19,000 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 24% and 164%, respectively, relative to the third quarter of 2022. Record quarterly gold production combined with strong silver production are a result of significantly higher grades from mining the high-grade zones of the Pampacancha deposit, higher recoveries and higher throughput. As per Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay"), production is expected to continue to benefit from higher grades in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Sudbury: In the third quarter of 2023, Vale's Sudbury mines produced 4,300 ounces of attributable gold, an increase of approximately 24% relative to the third quarter of 2022, due to higher grades which as per Vale, were partially offset by the annual planned maintenance activities at the Sudbury and Thompson mines and mills, as well as additional maintenance at the Sudbury refinery in the third quarter.

Stillwater: In the third quarter of 2023, the Stillwater mines produced 2,500 ounces of attributable gold and 4,000 ounces of attributable palladium, an increase of approximately 34% for gold and 24% for palladium relative to the third quarter of 2022, due primarily to the impact on production resulting from regional flooding that occurred in the second quarter of 2022.

San Dimas: In the third quarter of 2023, San Dimas produced 10,000 ounces of attributable gold, a decrease of approximately 15% relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower grades, partially offset by higher throughput.

Voisey's Bay: In the third quarter of 2023, the Voisey's Bay mine produced 183,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, a decrease of approximately 19% relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to mining lower grade material during the ongoing transitional period between the depletion of the Ovoid open-pit mine and ramp-up to full production of the Voisey's Bay underground project. Production in the third quarter was also impacted as a result of maintenance at the Long Harbour Refinery. Vale reports that physical completion of the Voisey's Bay underground mine extension was 88% at the end of the third quarter, with Reid Brook's bulk material handling system near mechanical completion, and the commissioning of sub-systems currently taking place. Vale achieved the first ore production from the Reid Brook deposit, the first of two underground mines to be developed in the project, in the second quarter of 2021. Eastern Deeps, the second deposit, has started to extract development ore from the deposit and is continuing its scheduled production ramp-up.

Other Gold: In the third quarter of 2023, total Other Gold attributable production was 700 ounces, a decrease of approximately 81% relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the closure of the Minto mine in May 2023.

Other Silver: In the third quarter of 2023, total Other Silver attributable production was 1.8 million ounces, a decrease of approximately 6% relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the termination of the Yauliyacu PMPA.

Aljustrel: On September 12, 2023, it was announced that as a result of low zinc prices, the production of zinc and lead concentrates at Aljustrel will be halted from September 24, 2023 until the second quarter of 2025.

Detailed mine-by-mine production and sales figures can be found in the Appendix to this press release and in Wheaton's consolidated MD&A in the 'Results of Operations and Operational Review' section.

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, 2022, which was filed on March 31, 2023 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2023, 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.
