Copper has been converted to Royalty Ounces assuming $3.75 per pound ($4.00 per pound in 2022) Through a series of transactions in 2022 and 2023 Franco-Nevada Caserones, Chile acquired a 0.517% NSR for a net cost of $42.3 million. Caserones is an open pit mine which began operation in 2013, following Caserones a capital investment of approximately US$4.2 billion. On March 27, 2023, 0.517% NSR N Lundin Mining announced that it had entered into a binding purchase 0 10 agreement to acquire 51% of the outstanding equity of SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile (“Lumina Copper”), a wholly owned subsidiary of JX Nippon kilometer Mining & Metals Corporation of Japan, which operates the mine. The mine is located approximately 135 km southeast of Copiapó, 9 km from the border with Argentina and has a maximum elevation of approximately 4,600 meters above sea level. The porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit 2 is located within a large land package, of which the royalty covers ~170km . Caserones Mine The asset produces copper and molybdenum concentrates from a conventional crusher, mill and flotation plant, as well as copper cathode from a dump leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning plant (“SX-EW”). The processing facilities have historically produced Mineral Resources and Mineral Reser approximately 100,000–120,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate, 1,700 to 2,500 tonnes of molybdenum in concentrate and approximately 0.517% NSR Peru 25,000 tonnes of copper cathodes per year. Lundin issued guidance Arica for 120,000 – 130,000 tonnes of copper in 2024 and they also announced the start of the largest exploration program on the land Iquique package since the mine began operations.
