Ore is sourced from multiple open pits over an estimated 600 km 2 property with processing at multiple conventional heap leaching facilities. Bald Mountain is the largest mine site by area in the U.S. It stretches 40 km north to south and 15 km east to west and is divided in three zones: North Zone, South Zone and JV Zone. Franco-Nevada’s Bald Mountain royalties cover a significant portion of the Bald Mountain property. Royalty rates range from 0.875%-5% NSR/GR. A detailed map of the royalties is shown in the schematic. At the end of 2015, Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) purchased from Barrick 100% of the North and South Zones while forming a 50/50 exploration joint venture partnership with Barrick on the JV Zone in between the North and South Zones. During 2018, Kinross acquired the remaining 50% portion of the JV area that it did not already own. In 2022, 15,924 kt of ore were placed on pads at Bald Mountain at a grade of 0.50 g/t versus 19,063 kt of ore at a grade of 0.51 g/t in 2021. Bald Mountain produced 214,094 ounces in 2022, a slight increase from the 204,890 ounces produced in 2021, mainly due to timing of ounces recovered from the heap leach pads. The large scale of the Bald Mountain land package offers significant exploration upside, with multiple known mineralized bodies. In 2022, approximately 8,150 meters of drilling was completed over six target areas. A priority exploration focus was on building volume for the high-grade top underground potential resource along with growing the nearby deposits. Drilling advanced the Zed Williams target, located southeast of the previously mined Numbers pits. It is primarily near- surface and consists of thick intervals of low-grade mineralization over a broad area. The Juniper Project EIS was advanced during the year with the completion of the public scoping period in May 2022. The next steps of the process will be the publishing of the Draft EIS, Final EIS and Record of Decision. The Juniper Project would modify and expand operations within the North Operations Area (NOA) resulting in 3,969 acres of new surface disturbance and extension of the NOA mine life by 11 years.
