The royalty originally covered three large permit areas in Mauritania, West Africa and covers the Tasiast main trend, including the Fennec satellite pit, and Tasiast Sud. In 2025, Tasiast produced 503,429 oz of gold, down from 622,394 oz in 2024, due to planned lower grades and mine sequencing. Kinross expects 2026 production to be approximately 505,000 oz of gold and estimates 2027 production will remain around the 500,000 ounce level based on ongoing mine plan optimizations. Production from 2025 through 2027 is lower than 2024 primarily due to the stripping phase of West Branch 5. The current mine plan sees Tasiast running until 2035, which will include the processing of low-grade stockpiles on the back end of the mine life. Kinross is actively evaluating several technical and strategic pathways to extend the Tasiast mine life beyond 2035, with a primary focus on underground mining at the West Branch orebody and future open pit pushbacks at both West Branch and the Piment zones. Potential new growth projects targeting the post-2030 period include a West Branch 6 layback, regional satellite open pits, and bulk-tonnage underground mining. Exploration continues to demonstrate significant long-term potential for underground extensions and satellite deposits, with Kinross advancing technical studies across multiple targets. In 2025, approximately 44,000 metres of drilling were completed, primarily targeting depth extensions of the West Branch orebody, where recent results have extended mineralization to at least 1.8 kms along strike and down plunge. At the Fennec satellite deposit on the TMLSA license, drilling in 2024 and 2025 continued to add reserves and improve geological definition. Additional exploration remains ongoing on the SENISA licenses, where 51,135 metres were drilled through year end 2024. Franco-Nevada’s royalty covers both the TMLSA and SENISA license areas.
