In our due diligence assessments of new royalty and stream opportunities, Franco-Nevada pays particular attention to water-related issues and risks impacting all applicable aspects of the mining lifecycle, including: • management of water to access ore through dewatering; • water use for ore processing and recovery from mine tailings; • provision of potable water and sanitation facilities for employees and communities; • discharge of water back to the environment; • interaction with marine water resources through port facilities; and • utilization and desalination of marine water. Using World Resource Institute’s (WRI) Aqueduct tool, we have identified the overall water risk for the areas where each of our Top Mining Assets are located, which measures all water-related risks, including physical quantity, quality and regulatory and reputational risk. Water intensity is one measurement that can be used to monitor trends in water use efficiency at a project. Water intensity is particularly important in areas of water scarcity and/or where there are competing interests for water availability. In the case of the mining sector, the metric is commonly expressed as the amount of water used per unit of ore processed. On this page, we have set out the 2021 water intensities for each of our Top Mining Assets, measured as the cubic meters (m 3 ) of water used per kilotonne (kt) of ore milled. Water intensities for our Top Mining Assets have been benchmarked against McKinsey global mining industry average for 2021. For the sake of simplicity, we have colour coded where such statistics are average, better than average, or below average.
