Franco-Nevada Reports Q2 2024 Results
New Mine Start-ups and Acquisitions
“Franco-Nevada benefited from record gold prices in the quarter and realized higher revenues and cash from operations
compared to Q1 2024,” stated Paul Brink, CEO. “However, our year over year results were lower without the contribution
from Cobre Panama and due to lower production at Candelaria and Antapaccay. Results for the second quarter include a
catch-up of higher tax rates due to tax measures enacted in response to the OECD’s Global Minimum Tax initiative. In
the second half of the year, we expect stronger contributions from Candelaria and growing contributions from
Tocantinzinho, Greenstone and Salares Norte which have all recently commenced production. We expect to be at the
lower end of our GEO guidance range, taking into account lower relative prices from our other commodities. We are
pleased to have added two potentially long-life assets to the portfolio subsequent to the quarter: a gold stream on
SolGold’s Cascabel copper-gold development project in Ecuador and an existing royalty on Newmont’s Yanacocha
operations in Peru.”

In Q2 2024, we recognized $260.1 million in revenue, down 21.2% from Q2 2023 (up 0.7% excluding Cobre Panama).
Revenue in the 2023 period included contributions from Cobre Panama, which remained on preservation and safe
management during the current period. During the quarter, we benefited from record gold prices, offset by lower contributions
from Antapaccay, Candelaria and our Energy assets. Precious Metal revenue accounted for 74.2% of our revenue (60.3%
gold, 10.8% silver, 3.1% PGM). Revenue was sourced 81.8% from the Americas (35.9% South America, 6.5% Central America
& Mexico, 19.7% U.S. and 19.7% Canada).
Guidance
We expect to be at the lower end of our 2024 Total GEO sales guidance range of 480,000 to 540,000 GEOs. Our Diversified
assets are expected to contribute fewer GEOs than initially anticipated based on the revised commodity prices we assume for
the remainder of the year ($2,300/oz Au, $27.50/oz Ag, $950/oz Pt, $900/oz Pd, $110/tonne Fe 62% CFR China, $75/bbl
WTI oil and $2.25/mcf Henry Hub natural gas). With respect to our Precious Metal assets, we anticipate stronger deliveries in
the later half of the year. Production at Candelaria is forecasted to be more heavily weighted to H2 2024, and we expect to
benefit from the ramp-up of production at several new mines, including Tocantinzinho, Greenstone and Salares Norte.
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Updates
During the quarter, Franco-Nevada was named on the Corporate Knights’ 2024 list of the Best 50 Corporate Citizens in
Canada. As part of the Cascabel stream transaction, Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation agreed to partner with SolGold
plc on environmental and social initiatives in the vicinity of the project for $750,000 over a 3-year period on a 70%/30%
basis with Osisko Gold Royalties. We continue to expand our community engagement and contributions with existing partners,
including teaming up with Nevada Gold Mines to provide funding for an oncology infusion center in Elko, Nevada.

GMT Updates
On June 20, 2024, the Government of Canada enacted the Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”), which implements key
measures of the OECD’s Pillar Two GMT in Canada and includes the introduction of a 15% GMT that applies to large
multinational enterprise groups with global consolidated revenues over €750 million.
In May 2024, the Government of Barbados enacted legislation to implement tax measures also in response to the OECD’s
Pillar Two global minimum tax initiative. The measures include an increase of the Barbados corporate tax rate to 9% and the
introduction of a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax, which, together, aim to ensure that the Barbados effective tax rate
payable by an entity subject to Pillar Two is at least 15% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.
As a result of these changes, the Company recognized an additional $69.8 million of income tax expense in Q2 2024, of
which $23.9 million is current tax expense and $45.9 million is deferred tax expense.
For purposes of computing Adjusted Net Income2 for Q2 2024 and H1 2024, we have adjusted amounts which were not
related to the respective periods so that users may understand what net income would have been had it only included income
tax expense related to income earned in the current periods. Please refer to the reconciliation provided at the end of this
news release or to our Q2 2024 MD&A for further details.
Portfolio Additions
• Acquisition of Royalty on Yanacocha Operations: Subsequent to quarter-end, on August 13, 2024, we acquired from
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura (“Buenaventura”) and its subsidiary, an existing 1.8% NSR on all minerals
covering Newmont’s Yanacocha mine and adjacent mineral properties, including Conga, located in Peru.
Consideration for the Yanacocha royalty consists of $210 million paid in cash on closing, plus a contingent payment
of $15 million payable in Franco-Nevada common shares payable upon the Conga project achieving commercial
production. Franco-Nevada will also hold a right of first refusal on the sale by Buenaventura of certain of their royalty
interests, including incremental royalties on Conga and other deposits. The acquisition of the Yanacocha Royalty is
effective July 1, 2024, and initial contributions to Franco-Nevada are expected in Q3 2024. Newmont’s guidance
anticipates production of 290,000 gold ounces for 2024.
• Acquisition of Gold Stream on Cascabel Copper-Gold Project: As previously announced, subsequent to quarter-end,
our wholly owned subsidiary, Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation (“FNB”) acquired a gold stream from SolGold
with reference to production from the Cascabel project located in Ecuador. FNB has partnered with Osisko Gold
Royalties’ subsidiary, Osisko Bermuda Limited (“Osisko”), to provide a syndicated financing package on a 70%/30%
basis. FNB will provide a total of $525 million and Osisko a total of $225 million for a total combined funding of
$750 million, consisting of $100 million in pre-construction funding and $650 million towards construction once the
project is fully funded and further derisked. Please refer to our news release dated July 15, 2024 for further details.
• Term Loan with EMX Royalty Corporation: On June 19, 2024, we entered into a term loan agreement with EMX of
$35 million. The EMX Term Loan was funded subsequent to quarter-end, on August 9, 2024.
• Private Placement with G Mining Ventures: On July 12, 2024, we completed a private placement of $25 million with
G Mining Ventures at a price of C$2.279 per share. La Mancha Investments S.à r.l. completed a concurrent $25
million private placement with total proceeds to G Mining of $50 million. The placement is related to G Mining
Ventures’ business combination with Reunion Gold and advancement of the Oko West gold development project in
Guyana.
• Term Loan with SolGold: On May 13, 2024, we provided a $10 million term loan to SolGold plc. The term loan was
repaid subsequent to quarter-end, on July 17, 2024.
• Term Loan with G Mining Ventures: On April 19, 2024, we funded a second and final draw of $33 million under our
term loan commitment to G Mining Ventures, thereby fulfilling our $75 term loan commitment. The term loan is part
of a financing package we provided to G Mining Ventures in July 2022 in connection with the Tocantinzinho gold
project, in Brazil.
• Financing Package with Scottie Resources: On April 15, 2024, we acquired a 2.0% gross production royalty on all
minerals produced on Scottie Resources Corp.’s (“Scottie”) claims in the Stewart Mining Camp in the Golden Triangle
in British Columbia, Canada, for a purchase price of $5.9 million (C$8.1 million). Additionally, we acquired 5,422,994
common shares of Scottie for an aggregate of $0.7 million (C$1.0 million).

Q2 2024 Portfolio Updates
Precious Metal assets: GEOs sold from our Precious Metal assets were 82,350, compared to 132,033 GEOs in Q2 2023.
Lower contributions from Cobre Panama, Antapaccay and Candelaria were partly offset by higher GEO sales from
Condestable, MWS and newly constructed mines.
South America:
• Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold in Q2 2024 were lower than those sold in Q2 2023.
During the quarter, mining rates were impacted by the interface of the open pit and historic underground mining
stopes, requiring more stockpiled ore to be processed which reduced grades and recoveries. With access to higher
grade ore anticipated in the second half of 2024, Lundin Mining anticipates stronger production in H2 2024 and
have maintained their production guidance for Candelaria.
• Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold were lower in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023.
Mine scheduling was adjusted in part due to a geotechnical event which temporarily limited pit access, resulting in
lower production in H1. Glencore anticipates stronger production in H2 2024. Deliveries to Franco-Nevada, which
may vary from production levels due to the timing of shipments, are expected to be within our initial expectations
for 2024 of 50,000 to 60,000 GEOs.
• Antamina (22.5% silver stream) – GEOs delivered and sold were lower in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023 as
mining is occurring in areas with lower silver grades as anticipated in the life of mine plan.
• Condestable (gold and silver stream) – We sold 6,149 GEOs in Q2 2024, compared to 3,043 GEOs sold Q2 2023.
GEO sold in the current period included ounces delivered late in Q1 2024 and held in inventory at March 31, 2024.
• Tocantinzinho (gold stream) – On July 9, 2024, G Mining Ventures announced it poured first gold and that it
remained on track for commercial production in H2 2024. Franco-Nevada received its first deliveries from
Tocantinzinho at the end of July 2024. According to the 2022 feasibility study, the project is expected to produce
an average of 196,000 ounces of gold annually for the first five years.
• Salares Norte (1-2% royalties) – During the quarter, Franco-Nevada received its first royalty payment from Salares
Norte, where gold-silver doré was first poured on March 28, 2024. Commissioning and ramp-up of the project have
been impacted by earlier than planned winter conditions. Gold Fields revised its 2024 gold equivalent production
to between 90,000 and 180,000 ounces (previously between 220,000 and 240,000 ounces).
• Posse (Mara Rosa) (1% royalty) – Hochschild Mining announced that the Mara Rosa mine reached commercial
production in mid-May 2024 and that the processing plant has already reached nominal capacity of 7,000 tonnes
per day. Optimisation initiatives are in place to reach stable throughput of 8,000 tonnes per day.
• Cascabel (gold stream and 1% royalty) – In June 2024, SolGold announced the signing of an exploitation contract
with the government of Ecuador which establishes key legal and financial terms required for the development of
the Cascabel project.
Central America & Mexico:
• Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – Production at Cobre Panama has been halted since November 2023 with
mining activities currently on preservation and safe management. On July 1, 2024, the new president of Panama,
José Raúl Mulino, was inaugurated into office. In his inauguration speech, President Mulino announced that the
Government of Panama will conduct, with international experts, a strict environmental audit of the Cobre Panama
mine.
• Guadalupe-Palmarejo (50% gold stream) – GEOs sold from Guadalupe-Palmarejo in Q2 2024 were relatively
consistent with those sold in Q2 2023.
U.S.:
• Goldstrike (2-4% royalties & 2.4-6% NPI) – GEOs from our Goldstrike royalties increased in Q2 2024 compared to
Q2 2023 due to more open pit stockpile tons being processed and a greater proportion of underground production
taking place on royalty ground.
• Stillwater (5% royalty) – GEOs from our Stillwater royalty decreased in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023 as the
decline in PGM prices more than offset higher production at the mine. In July 2024, Sibanye-Stillwater reported
that its US PGM operations had been impacted by a cyber-attack but that it expected to promptly resume full
operations, with accumulated stockpiles expected to be processed in due course.
• Bald Mountain (0.875-5% royalties) – GEOs from our Bald Mountain royalties were higher in Q2 2024 than in Q2
2023 due to mine sequencing.
• Marigold (0.5-5% royalties) – GEOs from our Marigold royalties were lower in Q2 2024 than in Q2 2023 as
production is taking place on ground that carries a lower royalty rate. Production is anticipated to progress to
higher royalty rate ground in 2027 through the end of the current mine life.
5
Canada:
• Detour Lake (2% royalty) – In June 2024, Agnico Eagle released the results of a technical study reflecting the
potential for a concurrent underground operation at Detour Lake that would increase annual production to
approximately one million ounces for 14 years starting in 2030. Agnico Eagle has also approved the development
of a two-kilometre exploration ramp to collect a bulk sample and to facilitate infill and expansion drilling of the
current underground mineral resource.
• Hemlo (3% royalty & 50% NPI) – GEOs from our Hemlo royalties were lower than in Q2 2023 reflecting higher
underground mining costs. Barrick anticipates production at Hemlo to improve relative to 2023, where production
was impacted by interruptions to the underground operations.
• Macassa (Kirkland Lake) (1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI) – GEOs from Macassa were higher in Q2 2024 than in Q2
2023 due an increase in production. Throughput was higher in the quarter as a result of increased productivity
from a larger workforce, new ventilation structure, and improved equipment availability, and the addition of ore
sourced from the Near Surface deposit, partially offset by lower grades.
• Magino (3% royalty) and Island Gold (0.62% royalty) – Alamos completed the acquisition of the Magino mine in July
2024. The transaction is expected to result in substantial synergies through shared infrastructure between the
adjacent Magino and Island Gold mines. Alamos has noted potential longer-term upside through a single optimized
milling complex at Magino with an expansion to between 15,000 and 20,000 tonnes per day.
• Greenstone (3% royalty) – During the quarter, Franco-Nevada received its first royalty payment from Greenstone.
Equinox Gold announced that its 100% owned Greenstone mine achieved its inaugural gold pour on schedule on
May 22, 2024, with commercial production expected by the end of Q3 2024. Greenstone is expected to produce
between 175,000 and 205,000 gold ounces in 2024, and average annual production of approximately 400,000
gold ounces for the first five years.
• Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Agnico Eagle reported that ramp development continued to exceed target,
reaching the third production level of East Gouldie in Q2 2024. Exploration drilling continued to return positive
results to the east and west of the existing East Gouldie mineral resources, demonstrating the potential to add
inferred mineral resources.
• Valentine Gold (3% royalty) – Calibre Mining announced a 100,000-metre resource expansion and discovery drill
program at the Valentine Gold project. Production is expected to commence in Q2 2025 and average 195,000 gold
ounces per year over an initial mine life of 12 years.
Rest of World:
• MWS (25% stream) – GEOs delivered and sold from our MWS stream were higher than in Q2 2023 reflecting an
increase in tonnes processed and higher recoveries. We continue to anticipate the stream reaching its cap of
312,500 ounces in Q4 2024.
• Subika (Ahafo) (2% royalty) – GEOs from our Subika (Ahafo) royalty were higher than in Q2 2023 as production at
Subika increased due to higher open pit grade and stronger underground mining rates.
• Séguéla (0.6% royalty) – Fortuna reported that production during the quarter was impacted by intermittent power
outages, largely mitigated by higher grade feed and the mill operating above nameplate capacity.
Diversified assets: Our Diversified assets, primarily comprising our Iron Ore and Energy interests, generated $64.6 million in
revenue, down from $70.7 million in Q2 2023.
Iron Ore:
• Vale Royalty (iron ore royalty) – Revenue from the Vale royalty was relatively consistent with Q2 2023. While the
Northern System benefited from record production at S11D, the impact was offset by lower production at Serra
Norte and higher estimated shipping cost deductions.
• LIORC – LIORC declared a cash dividend of C$1.10 per common share in the current period, compared to C$0.65
in Q2 2023. Production from Iron Ore Company of Canada was higher when compared to the prior year period
which was impacted by wildfires in Northern Quebec.
• Caserones (0.517% effective NSR) – GEOs from our interest in Caserones were lower in Q2 2024 than in Q2 2023
in part due to our lower effective NSR interest in the current period. In January 2024, EMX exercised an option to
acquire 0.0531% of our NSR, such that we now own a 0.517% effective NSR, compared to 0.5701% in Q2 2023.
Energy:
• U.S. (various royalty rates) – Revenue from our U.S. Energy interests decreased compared to Q2 2023. While
revenue from our oil assets was consistent with the prior year, revenue from our gas assets declined. Contribution
from our new Haynesville gas acquisition was offset by lower realized gas prices and volumes at our existing
Haynesville assets. Revenue in the prior year period had also included $7.0 million in catch-up royalty payments
related to new wells in the Permian Basin.
6
• Canada (various royalty rates) – Revenue from our Canadian Energy interests was higher than in Q2 2023.
Production at our Orion asset increased relative to the prior year period, and our Weyburn NRI benefited from
higher realized prices and lower expenses.

and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the
business of development and mining on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not
limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, sinkholes, flooding and other natural disasters,
terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious disease; the impact of future pandemics; and the integration of acquired assets. The forward-
looking statements contained herein are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the
ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties
in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying
properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Company’s ongoing income
and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material changes to existing tax treatment; the expected application of tax laws and
regulations by taxation authorities; the expected assessment and outcome of any audit by any taxation authority; no adverse development in
respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations
for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors
that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. In addition, there can be no
assurance as to (i) the outcome of the ongoing audit by the CRA or the Company’s exposure as a result thereof, or (ii) the future status and any
potential restart of the Cobre Panama mine or the outcome of any related arbitration proceedings. Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that
actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

ENDNOTES:
1 GEOs: Gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) include Franco-Nevada’s attributable share of production from our Mining and
Energy assets after applicable recovery and payability factors. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSRs and, in the
case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties,
GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Silver, platinum, palladium, iron ore, oil, gas and other
commodities are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the
relevant gold price. The price used in the computation of GEOs varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement of
each particular asset, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average price for
the month, quarter, or year in which the commodity was produced or sold. For Q2 2024, the average commodity prices
were as follows: $2,338/oz gold (Q2 2023 - $1,978), $28.86/oz silver (Q2 2023 - $24.18), $981/oz platinum (Q2
2023 - $1,028) and $972/oz palladium (Q2 2023 - $1,449), $110/t Fe 62% CFR China (Q2 2023 - $112), $80.57/bbl
WTI oil (Q2 2023 - $73.78) and $2.34/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (Q2 2023 - $2.32). For H1 2024 prices, the average
commodity prices were as follows: $2,205/oz gold (H1 2023 - $1,933), $26.11/oz silver (H1 2023 - $23.37), $945/oz
platinum (H1 2023 - $1,011) and $975/oz palladium (H1 2023 - $1,508), $118/t Fe 62% CFR China (H1 2023 -
$118), $78.77/bbl WTI oil (H1 2023 - $74.95) and $2.22/mcf Henry Hub natural gas (H1 2023 - $2.54).
