Please see page 19 for our methodology on calculating Royalty Ounces for an NPI Barrick is the operator and manages both the open pit and underground Hemlo, Ontario operations. Franco-Nevada has both a 3% NSR royalty and a 50% NPI royalty on a portion of the western down-dip underground extension, principally the Lower C Zone, of the Hemlo ore body as shown in the Hemlo longitudinal schematic. 3% NSR / 50%NPI Diver Mining on the royalty property began in late 2008, but revenues were sified Assets limited to the 3% NSR royalty. The 50% NPI portion of the royalty began paying in the third quarter of 2012 after the upfront capital costs had Long Section been recovered by Barrick. Williams Shaft & Mill Production at Hemlo was 141,000 ounces of gold in 2023 versus ‘C’ Zone Pit Surface 133,000 ounces of gold in 2022. All-in sustaining costs, which is important to take into consideration with respect to the NPI royalty, decreased from $1,788 per ounce in 2022 to $1,672 per ounce in 2023. Gold production in 2023 was below the guidance range, primarily due 9975 to interruptions to the underground operations in the fourth quarter, including a fire which damaged some ventilation infrastructure, leading ‘C’ Zone Mineral Resources and Mineral Reser to delays in ramping back up, coupled with underground interruptions 9765 earlier in the year. Barrick is forecasting 2024 estimated production Mined Area of 140,000 to 160,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of between 9555 $1,600 to $1,700 per ounce. 9450 Barrick announced that it expects production from Hemlo to increase Mined Area in 2024 relative to 2023 and Franco-Nevada expects a higher proportion F Williams Mine 9240 to be sourced from our royalty ground. Barrick also reported that production Ro ranco-Ne y 9160 at a new pushback in the Hemlo open pit was permitted and planned alty Ground to commence in the second half of 2025. During 2023 reserve 3% NSR vada + ‘B’ Zone conversion drilling from surface targeted E-Zone and Horizon west of the 50% NPI ves C-Zone. Drilling confirmed the modeled continuity of mineralization, while also increasing the understanding of lithological controls on mineralization in the Horizon zone.
