106 TSX / NYSE: FNV Franco-Nevada Corporation North America Overview Precious Metals Diversified Assets Marcellus Location: SW Pennsylvania, United States Operator: Range Resources Energy: Natural Gas and NGLs Royalty: 1% overriding royalty Appalachian Basin Marcellus The Marcellus is one of the most prolific and active gas and liquids plays in North America. Range’s acreage is in a liquids-rich portion of the Marcellus, enhancing well economics and the overall cost structure. Range helped pioneer the Marcellus shale in 2004 with the successful drilling of the Renz #1 well in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Since that time, Range has developed a track record of growing reserves from its asset base. Range’s position in Southwest Appalachia is estimated to have one of the longest core inventory lives among U.S. natural gas producers, and its diversified portfolio of transportation capacity mitigates in-basin pricing risk. In 2022, Franco-Nevada received $56.5 million in revenue from the Marcellus royalty. During the year, Range completed 48 wells in the Marcellus on royalty lands, which is a decrease from 64 wells in 2021. The land base has a potential inventory of 1,083 future well locations 3 implying more than 20 years of additional drilling (based on the prior year drilling rate), followed by many years of production over the life of the wells. There is additional potential in the Utica and Upper Devonian formations not included in the above estimate of well locations that may increase the longevity of the asset.

The royalty is calculated as 1% of gross production less minor deductions from approximately 338,000 net acres of Range’s working interest position in Washington, Western Allegheny and Southern Beaver counties in Pennsylvania. The royalty applies to existing production and future development from the Marcellus shale formation as well as future potential development from the Utica and Upper Devonian formations. The royalty is registered on title and is a direct interest in real property. Range Resources drill pad, SW Pennsylvania
