long duration cash flow stream
and the optionality associated with
perpetual land title ownership.
Exposure to: No exposure to:
High margin cash flow streams Capital costs
New discovery/exploration optionality Environmental liabilities
Commodity price optionality Operations
Secondary and tertiary recoveries Operating costs
Shale opportunities
Technological advancements
Ownership in 10 million leasable, undeveloped acres

Higher Margin, Lower Risk
(1) Excludes the impact of Other Revenues (lease rentals, bonus consideration, etc.) for the year ended December 31, 2019.(2) Excluding acquisitions and net change in future development capital.(3) Operating margin is calculated as average realized price ($/boe), less Production & Mineral Tax expense ($/boe), divided by the
average realized price ($/boe). Amounts per boe for PrairieSky Royalty are for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recycling the Land Base
New drilling and production technologies can be utilized to pursue previously underexploited zones
The perpetual nature of Fee Lands allows PrairieSky Royalty to continually recycle lands and grow its revenue base.
PrairieSky leases lands by zone – same aerial acreage can be leased separately for multiple zones
At the end of the primary lease term, any lands/rights not held by production revert back to PrairieSky Royalty
PrairieSky Royalty can re-lease to third parties who plan to more actively exploit, explore and/or develop those opportunities
License to ~13,000 km2 of 3D seismic, covering over 3.3 million acres, and ~46,000 km of 2D seismic
(1) Held by Production (“HBP”)
PrairieSky Royalty sets lease terms to ensure the company remains competitive with adjacent Crown or freehold lands

History of PrairieSky’s Fee Lands
1676King Charles II of England granted 948 million acres of mineral title land to the Hudson’s Bay Company, later ceded to the Dominion of Canada.
1958CPR creates Canadian Pacific Oil and Gas, to which all mineral title was conveyed.
1971PanCanadian Petroleum Limited (predecessor to PanCanadian Energy Corporation) created by the amalgamation of Canadian Pacific Oil and Gas And Central –Del Rio Oils.
2002Encana created through merger of PanCanadian Energy Corporation and Alberta Energy Company.
2014PrairieSky Royalty acquires fees simple mineral title lands from Encana and completes initial public offering.
1887Dominion of Canada stops granting mines and mineral rights as part of land sales –no more Fee lands are created.
PresentPrairieSky is the largest fee simple mineral title landowner in Western Canada, including 7.8 million acres of fee simple mineral title lands with petroleum and/or natural gas rights. These rights are held in perpetuity.
2014PrairieSky completes acquisition of Range Royalty Limited Partnership in December 2014, a best in class private royalty company with 3.5 million acres of royalty lands.
2015PrairieSky acquires substantially all of Canadian Natural Resources royalty assets, gaining unparalleled fee simple mineral title exposure in the Viking light oil play in Western Saskatchewan and royalty interests in multiple resource plays in the Deep Basin of Alberta and British Columbia.
1905CPR initiates irrigation projects, checkerboard selection abandoned in exchange for building a large irrigation system.
1881 25 million acres of Fee lands granted to the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in consideration for completing the national railway.
CPR able to select lands from the odd numbered sections in a belt of land 24 miles wide on each side of the railway creating the checkerboard pattern still seen today.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
Certain measures in this presentation do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and therefore, are considerednon-GAPP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measuresare commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by the Company to provide potential investors with additional informationregarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. This presentation includes thefollowing Non-GAAP measures: 1) Free Cash Flow which is defined as Funds from Operations, a GAAP measure used inPrairieSky’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019; 2) Operating Netback which isdefined in PrairieSky’s management discussion & analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019; and 3) Operating Margin whichis PrairieSky’s royalty revenue less production and mineral taxes. This measure is used to demonstrate the comparability betweenPrairieSky and production and exploration companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry as it shows the revenue generationfrom field operations. Further information on Non-GAAP measures can be found in PrairieSky Royalty’s management discussion &analysis and audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, which areavailable on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or PrairieSky Royalty’s website at www.prairiesky.com.
CONVERSIONS OF NATURAL GAS TO BOE
To provide a single unit of production for analytical purposes, natural gas production and reserves volumes are convertedmathematically to equivalent barrels of oil (boe). We use the industry-accepted standard conversion of six thousand cubic feet ofnatural gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf = 1 bbl). The 6:1 boe ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarilyapplicable at the burner tip. It does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is not based on either energy content orcurrent prices. While the boe ratio is useful for comparative measures and observing trends, it does not accurately reflectindividual product values and might be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. As well, given that the value ratio, based on thecurrent price of crude oil to natural gas, is significantly different from the 6:1 energy equivalency ratio, using a 6:1 conversion ratiomay be misleading as an indication of value.
