Impairment of stream and royalty interests and royalty receivables In accordance with our impairment accounting policy discussed in Note 1, impairments in the carrying value of each stream or royalty interest are measured and recorded to the extent that the carrying value in each stream or royalty interest exceeds its estimated fair value, which is generally calculated using estimated future discounted cash‑flows. As part of the Company’s regular asset impairment analysis, the Company did not identify the presence of any impairment indicators and did not record any impairment charges for the fiscal year ended of June 30, 2019. The Company identified impairment indicators and recorded impairment charges for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 as summarized in the following table and discussed in detail below:

Pascua-Lama We own a 0.78% to 5.45% sliding‑scale NSR royalty on gold and silver production from the Chilean portion of the Pascua‑Lama project, which straddles the border between Argentina and Chile, and is owned by Barrick. The Company owns an additional royalty equivalent to 1.09% of proceeds from copper produced from the Chilean portion of the project, net of allowable deductions, sold on or after January 1, 2017. On January 18, 2018, Barrick reported that it is analyzing a revised sanction related to the Pascua-Lama project issued by Chile’s Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente (“SMA”) on January 17, 2018. The sanction is part of a re-evaluation process ordered by Chile’s Environmental Court in 2014 and relates to historical compliance matters at the Pascua-Lama project. According to Barrick, the SMA has not revoked Pascua-Lama’s environmental permit, but has ordered the closure of existing facilities on the Chilean side of the project, in addition to certain monitoring activities. On February 6, 2018, in light of the SMA order to close surface facilities in Chile, and earlier plans to evaluate an underground mine, Barrick announced it reclassified Pascua-Lama’s proven and probable reserves, which are based on an open pit mine plan, as mineralized material. Barrick reported further details in its year-end results on February 14, 2018 and an update on the Pascua-Lama project at its February 22, 2018 Investor Day. A significant reduction in reserves or mineralized material are indicators of impairment. On April 23, 2018, Barrick announced that work performed to-date on the prefeasibility study for a potential underground project has been suspended, and they will focus on adjusting the project closure plan for surface infrastructure on the Chilean side of the project. Barrick will continue to evaluate opportunities to de-risk the project while maintaining Pascua-Lama as an option for development in the future if economics improve and related risks can be mitigated. As part of the impairment determination, the fair value for Pascua-Lama was estimated by calculating the net present value of the estimated future cash-flows, subject to our royalty interest, expected to be generated by the mining of the Pascua-Lama deposits. The Company applied a probability factor to its fair value calculation that Barrick will either proceed with an open-pit mine or an underground mine at Pascua. The estimates of future cash flows were derived from open-pit and underground mine models developed by the Company using various information reported by Barrick. The metal price assumptions used in the Company’s model were supported by consensus price estimates obtained by a number of industry analysts. The future cash flows were discounted using a discount rate which reflects specific market risk factors the Company associates with the Pascua-Lama royalty interest. Following the impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Pascua-Lama royalty interest has a remaining carrying value of $177.7 million as of June 30, 2019. As a result of Barrick’s reclassification of Pascua-Lama’s reserves to mineralized material, our Pascua-Lama royalty interest was reclassified to exploration stage from development stage during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Other During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Company was made aware of insolvency proceedings at one of our non-principal producing properties (El Toqui). The outcome of the insolvency proceedings may impact our royalty interest and the associated carrying value, which is approximately $1.4 million as of June 30, 2019. The Company continues to monitor the insolvency proceedings; however, the Company could determine that a write-down to zero in the near future is necessary.
