Franco-Nevada has various royalties on the operation (1.75-5% NSR and 0.5-4% GR), as shown in the schematic, together covering a significant portion of the current Mineral Reserve base. Franco-Nevada’s original royalties were acquired in connection with its IPO and, in December 2009, additional royalties covering alternate sections were added. In 2023, 21,846 kt of ore were placed on pads at a grade of 0.45 g/t versus 18,061 kt of ore placed on pads at a grade of 0.56 g/t in 2022. The mine had record production of 278,488 ounces of gold in 2023 versus 194,668 ounces in 2022. For 2024, SSR Mining expects production to be between 155 koz to 175 koz, with production of between 155 koz to 270 koz annually from 2025 to 2028. The current life of mine plan predicts a 9–year mine life, with life of mine production of 2.2 million ounces of gold. Royalty payments to Franco-Nevada will fluctuate depending on the royalty ground being mined. SSR Mining’s strategy to advance brownfields targets proximal to existing infrastructure continues to yield encouraging results and the company plans to continue its exploration drilling in 2024 with a $9 million budget. The focus will be on oxide mineral reserve additions and conversion at Buffalo Valley, Mackay, Valmy and New Millenium. Franco-Nevada royalty ground covers Mackay and portions of the Valmy and New Millenium targets.
