Gold preliminary economic assessment for the Odyssey project, approximately production at Canadian Malartic in 2024 is estimated to be between 5 million ounces of the 6.9 million ounces expected to be produced from 615,000 and 645,000 ounces on a 100% basis. Production is forecast the Odyssey project over the 17-year mine life are from East Gouldie. in 2025 and 2026 to be between 600,000 to 630,000 ounces and It is also estimated that Franco-Nevada’s East Gouldie claims now cover 545,000 to 575,000 ounces, respectively on a 100% basis. In 2024, approximately 24% of the East Gouldie reserve with infill and step-out production is expected to be sourced from the Barnat pit and the drilling to the west of the East Gouldie zone continuing to support Odyssey mine, complemented by ore from the low-grade stockpiles. continuity and scale. As of December 31, 2023, the Canadian Malartic open-pit mine contains Mineral Resources and Mineral Reser Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 2.4 million ounces of gold (90.8 million tonnes grading 0.83 g/t Au).
