The definitive feasibility study Positive definitive feasibility study increases mine life was based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 4.6 Moz AuEq to 12 year with average of 324 koz AuEq (39.8 Mt at 2.6 g/t Au and 69 g/t Ag). The study indicated a high-grade open-pit and a flotation plant producing higher grade saleable concentrate. Skeena is continuing to advance the project through permitting and is undertaking early development work. In December 2021, Franco-Nevada entered into an agreement with Skeena Mineral Resources and Mineral Reser to amend the terms of its existing 1% NSR royalty agreement such that the existing royalty covered substantially all of the Eskay Creek gold-silver project land package at the time, including all currently-known mineralized zones. 2.5% NSR Eskay Creek 2.5% NSR 2.5% NSR ves N Eskay Deeps 0 5 NEX KSM (Seabridge) 21 East kilometer 21A West 23 Additional Inf 22 Eskay Creek 2.5% NSR Stewart FNV Royalties British Columbia Deposits or Area of Interest 2.5% NSR Vancouver mation Excluded from Royalty TSX / NYSE: FNV Franco-Nevada Corporation ★ 69
