The Monument Bay project, is located in Manitoba, approximately 570 km northeast of Winnipeg adjacent to the Ontario border. Monument Bay consists of 136 contiguous claims and hosts a Measured considerable opportunity for resource expansion. The Twin Lakes deposit and Indicated Mineral Resource base of 1.79 million ounces of gold was originally considered as an open pit operation but has since been in 36.6 million tonnes grading 1.52 g/t. Franco-Nevada holds a 2% NSR re-evaluated as an underground project, with internal studies indicating royalty on the first 1.0 million ounces produced and a 3% NSR on any the presence of steeply plunging higher-grade shoots within the open pit additional production. Yamana acquired the project from Mega Precious Mineral Resource.
