20FNV 10 The GOLD Investment that WORKS 2013 Guidance The following contains forward looking statements about our outlook for the remainder of 2013 and is qualified in its entirety by the “Cautionary Statement on Forward Looking Information” section at the end of this MD&A. Royalty and stream production from our mineral assets was 57,452 and 169,032 Gold Equivalent Ounces(2) (“GEOs”) while the Company earned $22.3 million and $54.4 million in revenue from oil & gas assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, both being in-line with the Company’s expectations for the periods. The Company continues to expect to earn 215,000 to 235,000 GEOs from its mineral assets and exceed $65.0 million in revenue from its oil & gas assets in 2013. Gold equivalent royalty and stream ounces are estimated for gross ounces, and in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of approximately $400 per gold equivalent ounce paid by the Company. For the remainder of 2013, platinum and palladium metals have been converted to GEOs using projected commodity prices of $1,350/oz Au, $1,400/oz Pt and $725/oz Pd. The WTI oil price is assumed to average $95 per barrel with similar price discounts for Canadian oil as experienced in the nine months of 2013. For the remainder of 2013, the Company expects the following with respect to key producing assets: • Gold - U.S.: Goldstrike royalty ounces for 2013 are expected to be higher in the fourth quarter when compared to the second and third quarters of 2013 as higher production is expected on both the net smelter returns (“NSR”) and net profit interests (“NPI”) claims. At Gold Quarry, the Company expects royalty ounces for the fourth quarter of 2013 to be consistent with the third quarter of 2013 with higher overall ounces for 2013 than 2012. For the fourth quarter, royalty ounces from Bald Mountain, Hollister and Mesquite are expected to be similar to the levels in the third quarter of 2013. • Gold - Canada: Detour Gold Corporation (“Detour”) announced the achievement of commercial production at its Detour Lake mine on August 12, 2013 with the mine continuing to ramp-up to steady-state production. For 2013, Detour is forecasting gold production of approximately 270,000 ounces. Franco-Nevada holds a 2% NSR royalty on the property. Lake Shore Gold Corp. announced the completion of its Bell Creek mill expansion during the third quarter of 2013, which increased milling capacity by 50% from 2,000 tonnes per day to over 3,000 tonnes per day. The expansion will benefit Franco-Nevada’s royalty on the Timmins West property which hosts the Timmins and Thunder Creek deposits as well as the Gold River Trend and 144 exploration zones. Pretium Resources Inc. announced that its bulk sampling process is progressing on its Brucejack gold project. • Gold - Australia: Duketon gold production is expected to increase with a full year of production from the Garden Well mine. In addition, Regis Resources Ltd. (“Regis”), the operator, has announced plans to add a third operation on the Duketon property, Rosemont, with commissioning now expected in the fourth quarter of 2013. Regis has also announced plans for a plant expansion at Rosemont which is expected to increase long-term gold production from both Garden Well and Rosemont. Revenue from Bronzewing and Wiluna is expected to be lower in 2013 than 2012, as the operations have been negatively impacted by the lower gold price environment which has resulted in both operators seeking creditor protection. • Gold - Rest of World: Palmarejo is expected to remain a significant revenue contributor and Coeur Mining, Inc. has maintained its 2013 forecasted gold production of 98,000 to 105,000 ounces. The Company’s 50% gold stream over Palmarejo includes an annual minimum provision of 50,000 ounces, payable monthly. At Mine Waste Solutions (“MWS”), the Company expects to earn stream ounces for the remainder of 2013 that are consistent with the third quarter of 2013. At Tasiast, where the Company has a 2% NSR, the Company expects the remainder of 2013 to be consistent with what was earned in the third quarter of 2013. At Subika, royalty ounces are expected to be higher in 2013 than 2012 as a full year of production will be earned. Subika ounces for the fourth quarter 2013 are expected to be consistent with third quarter levels. At Edikan, where the Company has an effective 1.5% NSR, Perseus Mining Limited has announced gold production guidance for the remainder of 2013 to be between 99,000 ounces to 109,000 ounces, which is in-line with gold production of 105,000 ounces for the first half of 2013. 10 |
