Royalty: NSR: 1.08% Diversified Franco-Nevada has a 1.08% NSR royalty on all copper, gold and molybdenum produced from Taca Taca which was acquired through the acquisition of Lumina Royalty Corp. in December 2011. The property hosts a very large copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry system and is located in the Puna region of northwestern Argentina in Salta Province, 230 km west of the provincial capital of Salta. The royalty is subject to a buy-back provision. In November 2020, First Quantum filed an updated NI 43-101 technical report and declared a maiden Mineral Reserve of over 7.7 million tonnes of contained copper. First Quantum’s technical report considers an open-pit mine plan which contemplates processing throughput of up to 60 million tonnes per annum through a conventional flotation circuit with a mine life of approximately 32 years. The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource is 2,203 million tonnes, grading 0.43% copper, and contains 9,451,000 tonnes of contained copper, 265,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 6,052,000 ounces of gold. The Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve has been estimated at 1,759 million tonnes, grading 0.44% copper, for 7,735,000 tonnes of contained copper, 214,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 5,087,000 ounces of gold. First Quantum is continuing with pre-development work and feasibility study activities for the project. The primary Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) for the project, which covers the principal proposed project sites, was submitted in 2019 and assessment by the authorities continues. Separate ESIA’s for project support infrastructure were submitted to the relevant authorities during Q2 2021. First Quantum is seeking an improved fiscal environment before making a decision to proceed with the project, which is not expected before 2023/2024.
