Note: Carbon credit volumes are estimated based on forecasts provided by project partners and historical credit generation by the project. Volumes include credits covered under streaming agreement, credits that are subject to stream participation rights, and associated marketing and sales arrangements. Vintage Year reflects the year in which the associated emission reduction or removal occurred. Actual results may vary.

Justin Cochrane, Founder and CEO stated: “This week marks the one-year anniversary of Carbon Streaming’s public listing on the NEO Exchange. I am proud of the company we are building as we continue to grow and diversify our stream investments, advance our project pipeline, and build internal capabilities. We are excited to see our partners advancing projects, with MarVivo Blue Carbon recently reaching another project milestone”.

Mr. Cochrane continued, “Near term, we are excited by the sustained organic growth potential as 10 or more projects for which we have stream investments are expecting credit issuance by the end of 2023. We look forward to continued collaboration with our project partners and forging productive new partnerships with operators and corporate clients as we advance the collective agenda to ensure a net-zero future.”

Carbon Credit Stream Portfolio Summary

Carbon Streaming continues to build a high quality, diversified portfolio of carbon credit streams and investments. The portfolio has now grown to comprise six streams, covering 13 carbon projects across four continents, with carbon credits expected to be issued from 10 or more carbon projects by the end of 2023. A summary of the portfolio is provided in the following table.

Notes:

¹ Upfront deposit amounts assume all milestones will be realized and all installments paid in full.

² Term typically commences upon delivery of first credits and term can be extended should the project continue to issue credits.

³ Includes cash amounts attributable to Strategic Alliance Agreement (excluding value of share consideration granted thereafter).

⁴ Subject to the formal exercise by Osisko Gold Royalties (“Osisko”) of stream participation rights whereby Osisko would pay 20% of the upfront payment(s) and receive 20% of the applicable stream and carbon credits.

⁵ Stream agreement subject to closing.

⁶ Under stream, Company to receive up to 44.1 million credits, which is expected to occur within 10 years.

Carbon Streaming had a successful year applying the streaming model to voluntary carbon credit financing, which has enabled the Company to build a diversified portfolio of world class projects, with significant organic growth potential. The figure below illustrates the Company’s carbon credit volume profile by vintage year, with credit volumes from the current portfolio expected to surpass 20 million carbon credits by the 2027 vintage year and growing beyond.

On an ongoing basis, annual carbon credit issuances generally occur six to 12 months following the vintage year for which the credits are verified. The initial issuances of credits for projects generally incorporate multiple vintages due to the nature of the initial validation and verification processes. Once carbon credits are issued, the Company anticipates selling those credits over the following 12 month period, prior to the next annual credit issuance.

Sugar Maple Tree Reforestation Term Sheet Funding

In July, Carbon Streaming executed a term sheet to provide C$400,000 of upfront funding to the Citadelle Maple Syrup Producers’ Cooperative (“Citadelle”) for a grouped sugar maple Afforestation, Reforestation, Revegetation (ARR) and ecosystem restoration project in Quebec, Canada. Established in 1925, Citadelle is a dynamic agroforestry cooperative of over 1,500 members who tap sugar maple trees on their lands to produce maple syrup and is one of the largest suppliers of 100% pure maple syrup globally.

Citadelle is working with project operator Down to Earth Carbon Ltd. (“DTEC”), a full cycle climate forest project originator, to afforest members’ lands to provide structural biodiversity, enhanced watershed restoration values and sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere. Citadelle is also partnering with One Tree Planted (“OTP”), a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation, who will be contributing to the funding of each tree planted. The initial funding from Carbon Streaming is designed to enable Citadelle, DTEC and OTP to achieve the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 planting windows and positions Carbon Streaming with a right of first refusal on future carbon credit-based financings.

MarVivo Achieves First Funding Milestone

In June, the MarVivo Blue Carbon Conservation Project (“MarVivo Project”) achieved its second development milestone. The Company has a stream over the MarVivo Project located in Magdalena Bay in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The MarVivo Project is focused on the conservation of mangrove forests and their associated marine habitat, and is anticipated to be one of the largest blue carbon conservation projects in the world.

The US$6 million stream consists of a US$2 million installment paid upon closing, followed by four separate US$1 million payments based on specific project milestones being met during development, implementation, validation, and verification by Verra of the project. Upon achieving the second development milestone in June 2022, the Company made the next installment payment of US$1 million to MarVivo Corporation.
