In 2019, the Church of England Pensions Board and the Council on Ethics of the Swedish National Pension Funds wrote to mining companies, requesting disclosure of details of their tailings storage facilities and identifying the lack of a global tailings management standard as one possible contributor to the recent disasters. The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (the “Global Standard”) was launched in August 2020, aimed towards the goal of zero harm. Nine of our 10 Top Mining Producers have since agreed to fully implement the Global Standard or have otherwise adopted the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) framework, with the remaining one Top Mining Producer (Harmony Gold) implementing certain aspects of the Global Standard. Further, comprehensive information relating to all our Top Mining Assets’ tailings dams have been made publicly available by our Top Mining Producers and is available on the Global Tailings Portal - see tailing.grida.no Responsible tailings management requires operators to consider the management and governance of tailings storage facilities throughout their lifecycle, from design to closure and post-closure. When deciding where to deploy capital, depending on the stage of development of an applicable project, Franco-Nevada reviews all aspects of a project’s planned or existing waste and tailings storage facilities. When negotiating new royalty or stream acquisitions, we endeavour to negotiate contractual arrangements such that the operator commits to implement the Global Standard or another equivalent international tailings standard in respect to their tailings storage facilities and to provide Franco-Nevada with ongoing reporting with respect to adherence to such standards. On this page, we have highlighted certain attributes of the tailings storage facilities for our Top Mining Assets.
