Mineral Resources (81% in 2024, 96% in 2023) are subject to our royalty interest and estimates a rate of 2.34% is applicable for Mineral Reserves (2.28% in 2024, 2.55% in 2023), 2.19% is applicable for M&I Mineral Resources (inclusive of Mineral Reserves) (2.28% in 2024, 2.55% in 2023) and 1.49% is applicable for Inf. Mineral Resources (2.28% in 2024, 2.55% in 2023) The mine has been in continuous production since 1989 and is a large run-of-mine heap leach operation with several open pits. Marigold achieved 5.0 Moz of life of mine gold production in December 2024. 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. In 2025, 19.3 Mt of ore were placed on pads at a grade of 0.39 g/t gold versus 27.7 Mt of ore placed on pads at a grade of 0.28 g/t gold in 2024. The mine produced 153,535 oz of gold versus 168,262 oz in 2024. 2026 gold production is expected to be between 170–200 koz. SSR Mining plans to invest $108M in sustaining capital at Marigold in 2026 primarily focused on fleet improvements to enable the development of a number of potentially significant mine life extension opportunities. An updated LOM production profile and technical report is expected within the next 12–18 months. Royalty payments to Franco-Nevada will fluctuate depending on where mining activity is occurring and are expected to increase in the medium term as mining moves onto higher royalty rate ground. 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 2026 with a $48 million budget. The focus will be on oxide mineral reserve additions and conversion at Buffalo Valley, Mackay, Valmy and New Millennium. Franco-Nevada royalty ground covers Mackay and portions of the Valmy and New Millennium targets. Valmy Buffalo Valley and Trenton Canyon to the south.
