ROYALTY PACKAGE ACQUIRED FROM PACIFIC RIDGE EXPLORATION

Sandstorm has acquired a royalty package from Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. (“Pacific Ridge”) (TSX-V: PEX) for consideration of US$500,000. The package includes a 1.65% NSR on the Spectrum gold property (“Spectrum”) located in northwestern British Columbia and owned by Skeena Resources Ltd. (“Skeena”), and a 1% NSR on Pacific Ridge’s Eureka Dome and Gold Cap properties located in the White Gold District in the Yukon Territory.

With the newly acquired assets, Sandstorm now has a portfolio of 72 streams and royalties.

Spectrum Property
The 3,580 hectare Spectrum property was acquired by Skeena in October 2014. The property is located approximately 37 kilometres west of Imperial Metals' Red Chris mine and 16 kilometres west of the NGEx/Teck GJ deposit in British Columbia and contains more than 10 different showings of high-grade sulphide-gold mineralization. Skeena recently raised CAD$8 million in equity financing and has embarked on a 10,000 to 12,000 metre drill program with the goal of establishing a high grade NI 43-101 compliant resource before the end of 2015. Recent drilling on the property produced the following results:

43.80 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Au over 2.0 metres in hole 14-SP-006;
9.50 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in hole 14-SP-007;
4.58 g/t Au over 9.0 metres in hole 14-SP-008;
