The primary Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) for the project, which covers the principal proposed project sites, was submitted in 2019 and supplementary submissions on tailings and waste management were filed in 2022. Approval of the ESIA is anticipated in 2023 and, in November 2022, the environmental pre-feasibility for power line development was approved. Additional environmental permit approval for a bypass and access road construction is expected in 2023 and water permit applications will be filed progressively in 2023. A decision to advance the project is not expected before 2024.

Copper has been converted to Royalty Ounces assuming $4.00 per pound ($3.50 per pound in 2021, $3.50 per pound in 2020) Franco-Nevada has a 1.08% NSR royalty on all copper, gold and molybdenum produced from Taca Taca which was acquired through the acquisition of Lumina Royalty Corp. in December 2011. The property hosts a very large copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry system and is located in the Puna region of northwestern Argentina in Salta Province, 230 km west of the provincial capital of Salta. The royalty is subject to a buy-back provision. In November 2020, First Quantum filed an updated NI 43-101 technical report and declared a maiden Mineral Reserve of over 7.7 million tonnes of contained copper. First Quantum’s technical report considers an open-pit mine plan which contemplates processing throughput of up to 60 million tonnes per annum through a conventional flotation circuit with an initial mine life of approximately 32 years. The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource is 2,203 million tonnes, grading 0.43% copper, and contains 9,451,000 tonnes of contained copper, 265,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 6,052,000 ounces of gold. The Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve has been estimated at 1,759 million tonnes, grading 0.44% copper, for 7,735,000 tonnes of contained copper, 214,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 5,087,000 ounces of gold.
