Franco-Nevada Reports Strong Q1 2016 Results and Increases Quarterly Dividend
TORONTO, May 4, 2016 - Franco-Nevada Corporation (TSX: FNV; NYSE: FNV) is pleased to report its financial results for the first quarter of 2016. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless noted and highlights include:
· Record 106,621 Gold Equivalent Ounces(1) (GEOs), a 25% increase over Q1 2015;
· Record $132.0 million in revenue, a 21% increase;
· Net Income of $30.0 million, or $0.18 per share;
· Adjusted Net Income(2) of $28.0 million, or $0.17 per share;
· Adjusted EBITDA(3) of $103.7 million, or $0.62 per share;
· $500 million acquisition of a precious metals stream with reference to production from Antapaccay;
· $883.5 million of net proceeds raised through a bought deal equity financing;
· Quarterly dividend increased 4.8% to $0.22 per share.
Franco-Nevadas recent investments at Antamina and Antapaccay helped generate the record quarterly GEOs and revenue results, stated David Harquail, CEO. These investments have further strengthened and diversified our portfolio with long duration quality assets. Thanks to the support of our investors, Franco-Nevada was able to raise equity financing and is again debt free. The Company now has over $186 million in cash and short-term investments and $1 billion in available credit facilities so is well positioned to continue to grow the portfolio. I am particularly proud that Franco-Nevada has today raised its dividend for the ninth consecutive year since its IPO. This speaks to the strength of the portfolio and the business model.

For the first quarter of 2016, revenue was sourced 95% from precious metals (69% gold, 20% silver and 6% PGM) and 82% from the Americas (13% U.S., 16% Canada and 53% Latin America). Costs and expenses increased due to higher depletion and cost of sales as a result of the recent Antamina and Antapaccay acquisitions. Oil & gas production levels were stable while associated revenue was down slightly year over year due to lower average oil and gas prices. Cash provided by operating activities before changes to working capital was $99.4 million.
Corporate Updates
· Antapaccay: On February 26, 2016, Franco-Nevada acquired for $500.0 million a precious metals stream from Glencore plc with reference to production from the Antapaccay mine located in Peru.
· Equity Financing: On February 19, 2016, Franco-Nevada completed a bought deal financing with a syndicate of underwriters for 19.2 million common shares at $47.85 per common share. Net proceeds were $883.5 million. As the existing shelf prospectus was mostly utilized, a new $2 billion shelf prospectus was filed on May 2, 2016.
· Debt Repayment: In March, all outstanding debt balances were repaid. At the end of the quarter, Franco-Nevada had $186 million in cash and short-term investments and $1 billion in available credit facilities.
Portfolio Updates
· Precious Metals U.S.: GEOs from U.S. precious metals assets were essentially unchanged year over year with increases from Goldstrike largely offsetting decreases at Stillwater and Gold Quarry. The South Arturo project currently being advanced by joint venture partners Barrick Gold and Premier Gold Mines is expected to contribute later in 2016. Klondex Mines is reporting exploration success at Fire Creek where Franco-Nevada has a 2.5% royalty. Franco-Nevada has agreed to restructure its existing royalties at the Castle Mountain gold project into a single 2.65% royalty covering a larger property.
· Precious Metals Canada: GEOs from Canadian precious metals assets decreased compared with the first quarter 2015 with higher contributions from Detour Lake, Hemlo and Musselwhite being more than offset by a weaker quarter from Sudbury due to PGM prices. Operatorship of several Canadian royalties moved into stronger hands with Lake Shore Gold being acquired by Tahoe Resources and St Andrew Goldfields by Kirkland Lake Gold.
· Precious Metals - Latin America: GEOs from Latin American precious metals assets increased substantially as a result of the recent investments in Antamina and Antapaccay. Antamina delivered 17,781 GEOs while Antapaccay delivered 8,918 GEOs. The Antapaccay precious metals stream was acquired during the quarter and the GEOs received reflects only two months of deliveries during a seasonably weak period. Candelaria also had a strong quarter and Lundin Mining has revised its guidance higher for 2016. The Cobre Panama project continues to advance and Franco-Nevada expects to advance $25-35 million in the second quarter.
· Precious Metals Rest of World: GEOs from Rest of World precious metals assets decreased slightly year over year mainly due to timing of deliveries from the Sabodala fixed ounce obligation. Karma contributed an initial 1,250 GEOs in the quarter with 12,500 GEOs scheduled to be delivered in 2016. True Gold, the previous operator of the Karma mine, was acquired by Endeavour Mining subsequent to quarter end. Kinross has announced it is proceeding with a Phase One expansion of the Tasiast mine, on which Franco-Nevada has a 2% royalty, which it expects will increase average production to 409,000 ounces per annum from 2018 to 2027. Kinross also indicated that it is studying a larger Phase Two expansion which could result in even higher production.
· Oil & gas: Revenue from oil & gas assets was $3.6 million in Q1 2016 compared with $5.5 million in Q1 2015. Most of the decrease in revenue is attributable to lower realized oil prices.
Dividend Declaration
Franco-Nevada is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share. The dividend is a 4.8% increase from the previous $0.21 per share quarterly dividend and marks the ninth consecutive annual dividend increase for Franco-Nevada shareholders. Canadian investors in Franco-Nevadas IPO in December 2007 are now receiving an effective 7.3% yield on their cost base.
The dividend will be paid on June 30, 2016 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2016. The Canadian dollar equivalent is determined based on the noon rate posted by the Bank of Canada on May 3, 2016. Under Canadian tax legislation, Canadian resident individuals who receive eligible dividends are entitled to an enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit on such dividends.
The Company adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) commencing with the October 2013 dividend. Participation in the DRIP is optional. The Company will issue the additional common shares through treasury at a 3% discount to the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP. However, the Company may, from time to time, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to treasury acquisitions or direct that such common
shares be purchased in market acquisitions at the prevailing market price, any of which would be publicly announced.

Registered shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online through the plan agents self-service web portal at www.investorcentre.com/franco-nevada.

In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) are forward looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates and assumptions are accurate and that such reserves and resources and GEOs will be realized. Such forward looking statements reflect managements current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as plans, expects, is expected, budgets, scheduled, estimates, forecasts, predicts, projects, intends, targets, aims, anticipates or believes or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions may, could, should, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Franco-Nevada to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward looking statement, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold, platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron-ore and oil and gas); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar, Mexican peso, and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in national and local government legislation,
including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies and the enforcement thereof; regulatory, political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or not the Corporation is determined to have passive foreign investment company (PFIC) status as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; potential changes in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; actual mineral content may differ from the reserves and resources contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious diseases; and the integration of acquired assets. The forward looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Corporations ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material changes to existing tax treatment; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that forward looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Investors are cautioned that forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. For additional information with respect to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to the Risk Factors section of Franco-Nevadas most recent Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on www.sedar.com and Franco-Nevadas most recent Annual Report filed on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on www.sec.gov.

NON-IFRS MEASURES: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. For a reconciliation of these measures to various IFRS measures, please see below or the Companys current MD&A disclosure found on the Companys website, on SEDAR and on EDGAR.
(1) GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mineral assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Platinum, palladium, silver and other minerals were converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the average gold price for the period. For Q1 2016, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,181/oz gold (2015 - $1,219/oz); $14.83/oz silver (2015 - $16.71/oz); $914/oz platinum (2015 - $1,193/oz) and $524/oz palladium (2015 - $786/oz).
(2) Adjusted Net Income is defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on the sale of investments, impairment charges related to royalties, streams, working interests and investments, unusual non-recurring items, and the impact of taxes on all these items.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding income tax expense/recovery, finance income and expenses, foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on the sale of investments, depletion and depreciation, non-cash costs of sales and impairment charges related to royalties, streams, working interests and investments.

OVERVIEW
Franco-Nevada is the leading gold-focused royalty and stream company by both gold revenue and number of gold assets. The Company is gold-focused but also has the largest and most diversified portfolio of royalties and streams by commodity, geography, revenue type and stage of project. The portfolio is actively managed with the aim to maintain over 80% of revenue from precious metals (gold, silver & PGMs).

The Company does not operate mines, develop projects or conduct exploration. Franco-Nevadas business model is focused on managing and growing its portfolio of royalties and streams. The advantages of this business model are:
· Exposure to precious metals price optionality;
· A perpetual discovery option over large areas of geologically prospective lands with no additional cost other than the initial investment;
· Limited exposure to many of the risks associated with operating companies;
· A free cash-flow business with limited cash calls;
· A high-margin business that can generate cash through the entire commodity cycle;
· A scalable and diversified business in which a large number of assets can be managed with a small stable overhead; and
· A forward-looking business in which management focuses on growth opportunities rather than operational or development issues.
Franco-Nevadas financial results in the short-term are primarily tied to the price of commodities and the amount of production from its portfolio of producing assets. From time to time, financial results are also supplemented by acquisitions of new producing assets. Over the longer-term, results are impacted by the availability of exploration and development capital applied by other companies to expand or extend Franco-Nevadas producing assets or to advance Franco-Nevadas advanced and exploration assets into production.
Franco-Nevada has a long-term focus in making its investments and recognizes it is in a cyclical industry. Franco-Nevada has historically operated by maintaining a strong balance sheet so that it can make investments during commodity cycle downturns.
Franco-Nevadas shares are listed on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges under the symbol FNV. An investment in Franco-Nevadas shares is expected to provide investors with yield and exposure to gold price and exploration optionality while limiting exposure to many of the risks of operating companies. Since its IPO over eight years ago, Franco-Nevada has
increased its dividend annually and its share price has outperformed the gold price and all relevant gold equity benchmarks.
Franco-Nevadas Relative Share Price Performance

HIGHLIGHTS
Financial First Quarter
· The Company earned 106,621 Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs)1 compared to 85,081 GEOs in first quarter 2015, an increase of 25.3%;
· Revenue of $132.0 million was generated, an increase of $22.8 million from the $109.2 million generated in first quarter 2015;
· Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 24.5% to $103.7 million, or $0.62 per share from $83.3 million or $0.53 per share in first quarter 2015;

1 GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mineral assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Silver, platinum, palladium and other minerals were converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the average gold price for the period. For average commodity prices used in the calculation of GEOs, please refer to average commodity price tables on page 8 of this MD&A.
2 Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Margin are non-IFRS financial measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS. For further information and a detailed reconciliation, please see pages 29-32 of this MD&A.
· Net income earned was $30.0 million, or $0.18 per share compared to net income of $19.2 million or $0.12 per share in first quarter 2015;
· Adjusted Net Income2 earned was $28.0 million, or $0.17 per share compared to $22.9 million or $0.15 per share in first quarter 2015;
· Operating cash-flow before changes in non-cash assets and liabilities of $99.4 million was generated in the first quarter compared to $77.9 million in the same period in first quarter 2015; and
· Dividends paid totaled $38.5 million in the quarter which is a combination of cash and shares issued under the Companys dividend reinvestment plan.
Corporate
Castle Mountain
On April 11, 2016, Franco-Nevada agreed with NewCastle Gold Ltd. to restructure existing royalties at the Castle Mountain gold project in California, U.S. into a single 2.65% royalty covering a larger property. The transaction is expected to close by end of May 2016.
Antapaccay Precious Metals Stream
On February 26, 2016, Franco-Nevada completed the acquisition of a $500.0 million precious metals stream from Glencore plc with reference to production from the Antapaccay mine located in Peru. Under the stream agreement, gold and silver deliveries are initially referenced to copper in concentrate shipped. The Company will receive 300 ounces of gold and 4,700 ounces of silver for each 1,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate shipped, until 630,000 ounces of gold and 10.0 million ounces of silver have been delivered. Thereafter, the Company will receive 30% of the gold and silver shipped. The Company will pay an on-going price of 20% of the spot price of gold and silver until 750,000 ounces of refined gold and 12.8 million ounces of refined silver have been delivered. Thereafter, the on-going price will increase to 30% of the spot price of gold and silver.
Equity Financing
On February 19, 2016, the Company completed a bought-deal financing with a syndicate of underwriters for 19.2 million common shares at $47.85 per common share. The net proceeds to the Company were $883.5 million after deducting share issue costs and expenses of $36.6 million.
GUIDANCE
The following contains forward looking statements about our guidance for 2016. Reference should be made to the Cautionary Statement on Forward Looking Information section at the end of this MD&A. For a description of material factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements below, please see the Cautionary Statement and the Risk Factors section of our most recent Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on www.sedar.com and our most recent Form 40-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on www.sec.gov.
Franco-Nevada realized record growth from its mineral assets in the first quarter 2016. Mineral assets contributed 106,621 GEOs with $3.6 million in revenue from Franco-Nevadas oil & gas assets in the first quarter of 2016.
2 Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Margin are non-IFRS financial measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS. For further information and a detailed reconciliation, please see pages 29-32 of this MD&A.
For 2016, Franco-Nevada is confirming its guidance of 425,000 to 445,000 GEOs from its mineral assets and $15.0 million to $25.0 million from its oil & gas assets. Of the 425,000 to 445,000 GEOs, Franco-Nevada expects to receive 295,000 to 305,000 GEOs under its various stream agreements compared to 222,670 GEOs received for full year 2015.
GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mineral assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by Franco-Nevada. For net profit interest (NPI) royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Silver, platinum, palladium and other minerals were converted to GEOs by dividing the associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the average gold price for the period. For our 2016 guidance, silver, platinum and palladium metals have been converted to GEOs using commodity prices of $1,200/oz Au, $15/oz Ag, $900/oz Pt and $500/oz Pd. For 2016, the WTI oil price is assumed to average $35 per barrel with a $3.50 per barrel price differential for Canadian oil. 2016 guidance assumes the continued steady state of operations from our assets.
In addition, we expect to fund approximately $130.0 million to $150.0 million in 2016 in connection with our precious metals stream agreement on Cobre Panama with $30-$35 million expected to be funded in second quarter 2016. For 2016, the Company estimates depletion and depreciation expense to be $250.0 million to $275.0 million.

Precious metals commodity prices have been in a volatile and declining state for an extended period of time with prices only recently beginning to recover.
During the first quarter of 2016, average gold prices traded between $1,077/oz and $1,277/oz with an average price of $1,181/oz. This compares to an average gold price of $1,219/oz for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of 3.1%, and $1,104/oz for the fourth quarter of 2015. Historically, the price of gold has been subject to volatile price movements
over short periods of time and is affected by numerous macroeconomic and industry factors that are beyond the Companys control. Major influences on the gold price include macroeconomic factors such as the level of interest rates and inflation expectations as well as currency exchange rate fluctuations and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and the supply of and demand for gold.
During first quarter 2016, platinum and palladium prices averaged $914/oz and $524/oz compared to $1,193/oz and $786/oz for the first quarter of 2015, decreases of 23.4% and 33.3%, respectively. Silver prices averaged $14.83/oz for first quarter compared to $16.71/oz in first quarter 2015.
Commodity price volatility not only impacts overall revenues but also impacts the number of GEOs contributed by non-gold assets when converting from silver, platinum, palladium and other minerals to gold equivalent ounces.
Despite the volatile commodity prices our mineral assets continued to deliver strong results as the mineral assets performed well delivering a significant increase in GEOs over the prior year. One of the strengths of the Franco-Nevada business model is that our business is not impacted by reduced margins at the operator level. Royalty and stream payments/deliveries are based on actual production levels with no adjustments for the operators operating costs, with the exception of NPI royalties which are based on the profit of the underlying mining operation. During the quarter, NPI royalties accounted for less than 5.0% of total revenues.
GEO Production Growth

Gold Equivalent Ounces and Revenue
Franco-Nevada continued to see significant growth in GEOs with mineral assets contributing 106,621 GEOs in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 25.3% over the first quarter of 2015. Revenue for the quarter was $132.0 million compared with $109.2 million for the same period of 2015, an increase of 20.9%. Although the number of GEOs contributed grew, the impact of lower average precious metals prices reduced the overall positive impact of this increase on revenue.
The following table outlines GEOs and revenue attributable to Franco-Nevada for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 by commodity, geographical location and type of interest:

1 For average commodity prices used in calculation of GEOs, please refer to average commodity price tables on page 8 of this MD&A.
Our portfolio is well-diversified with GEOs and revenue being earned from 43 mineral and 59 oil & gas interests in various jurisdictions.
GEO Reconciliation Q1 2015 to Q1 2016

GEOs earned from precious metal assets increased by 25.7% to 104,576 GEOs in the first quarter of 2016 from 83,170 GEOs in the first quarter of 2015. Growth in GEOs from precious metals was mainly attributable to the addition of the Antamina silver stream (+17,178 GEOs) and the Antapaccay gold/silver stream (+8,918 GEOs). For the quarter, Franco-Nevada earned 4,666 GEOs from our gold NPIs compared with 854 GEOs earned from gold NPIs in the same period in 2015.
Quarterly Revenue Breakdown
(millions of dollars)

Revenue from precious metal assets was $125.9 million in Q1 2016 compared with $101.4 million for the same period as 2015. The largest increase came from Latin American assets with Antamina and Antapaccay contributing $21.0 million and $11.2 million in revenue, respectively, in the quarter.
GEOs and revenue from precious metals from U.S. assets both decreased in the first quarter of 2016 with 14,165 GEOs and $16.8 million in revenue, down from 14,287 GEOs and $17.3 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2015.
· The reduction in GEOs for the quarter was attributable to lower gold ounces received from Bald Mountain (-1,550 GEOs) and Gold Quarry (-1,126 GEOs).
· GEOs increases for the quarter included Goldstrike (+2,541 GEOS) where the NPI was higher than first quarter 2015, Fire Creek (+750 GEOs) which is due to timing of fixed payment deliveries and Marigold (+376 GEOs), Mesquite (+141 GEOs) and other (+13 GEOs).
· Stillwater platinum and palladium production was fairly stable year over year but with the lower platinum and palladium prices did result in lower GEOs recognized (-1,267 GEOs) on the conversion to GEOs.
· Overall, revenue decreased by 2.9% for U.S. precious metal assets due to the impact of lower average commodity prices.
Canadian GEOs and revenue from precious metals were 12,252 GEOs and $16.0 million, respectively, in the first quarter, a decrease from 13,206 GEOs and $16.1 million in revenue for first quarter 2015. The decrease was attributable to the following:
· Lower GEOs were delivered from Sudbury. Actual production of platinum and palladium was consistent with first quarter 2015. The reduction in GEOs is due to settlement adjustments and the impact of lower platinum and palladium prices when converting to GEOs.
· The Company received lower GEOs from East Timmins (formerly Golden Highway) (-526 GEOs), Timmins West (-319 GEOs), Canadian Malartic (-119 GEOs) and Kirkland Lake (-33 GEOs).
· These reductions in GEOs were partially offset by higher production at Detour Lake (+487 GEOs). In addition, the NPIs from Hemlo (+1,328 GEOs) and Musselwhite (+244 GEOs) were higher in the quarter due to improved production, operating cost improvements and foreign exchange benefits.
Latin American precious metals assets contributed 58,510 GEOs and $69.8 million in revenue in Q1 2016 compared to 34,959 GEOs and $42.8 million in first quarter 2015, with the major contributors as follows:
· The Company received 17,781 GEO deliveries from Antamina, an asset added to the portfolio in fourth quarter 2015.
· Candelarias deliveries of gold and silver equated to 18,626 GEOs, or 31.8%, of total GEOs from Latin America.
· The Company received its first deliveries from Antapaccay during the quarter. A total of 8,918 GEOs were delivered and sold in first quarter 2016. This represented delivery of only two months of production during the quarter.
· Production from Cerro San Pedro decreased which resulted in 77 less GEOs for the quarter when compared to the first quarter of 2015.
· During the first quarter of 2016, 1,747,741 ounces of silver delivered from Candelaria, Antamina, Antapaccay and Cerro San Pedro interests were converted to GEOs.
Rest of World precious metals assets generated 19,649 GEOs and $23.3 million in revenue compared to 20,717 GEOs and $25.2 million in revenue in first quarter 2015. This decrease of 5.2% in GEOs and 7.5% in revenue, respectively, over 2015 levels, was attributable to the following:
· Lower production contributions from Subika (-508 GEOs), Sabodala (-1,875 GEOs) where an extra month of deliveries was received in first quarter 2015, Duketon (-193 GEOs), Edikan (-79 GEOs) and other assets (-225 GEOs).
· This reduction was partially offset by higher GEO contributions from Cooke 4 (+341 GEOs), Tasiast (+183 GEOs) and MWS (+38 GEOs).
· In addition, the Company received its first delivery under the Karma stream agreement of 1,250 GEOs. Effective April 26, 2016, the operator, True Gold Mining Inc. was acquired by Endeavour Mining Corporation.
Other Minerals generated 2,045 GEOs and $2.5 million in revenue.
Oil & gas assets generated revenue of $3.6 million for the quarter (93% oil and 7% gas) compared with $5.5 million for the same period of 2015 (91% oil and 9% gas), a decrease of 34.5%. The decrease is due to lower average oil prices realized in the first quarter of 2016. Production for the quarter was 4.2% lower than the first quarter of 2015.
Revenue from the Weyburn Unit for the quarter decreased to $2.3 million (2015 - $3.4 million) with $0.8 million earned from the NRI (2015 - $1.4 million), $1.2 million earned from the working interest (2015 - $1.7 million) and $0.2 million earned from the overriding royalties (2015 - $0.3 million). Revenue from the Weyburn NRI was lower due to the decrease in the average oil price. Actual realized price from the NRI was C$33.97/boe for the quarter, down 24.2% from the realized price of C$44.84/boe for the first quarter of 2015.
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $132.0 million (2015 - $109.2 million) and was comprised of the following:

Franco-Nevadas revenue is generated from various forms of agreements, ranging from NSR royalties, streams, NPI royalties, net royalty interests (NRI), working interests and other. For definitions of the various types of agreements, please refer to our most recent Annual Information Form filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or our Form 40-F filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
As stated earlier, two of the Companys primary objectives are to maintain precious metals revenue above 80% of total revenue and to build a diversified portfolio of royalties and streams by commodity, geography, revenue type and stage of project. For the first quarter of 2016, precious metals revenue was 95% of total revenue compared to 93% in first quarter 2015. In addition the Company generated 82% of revenue from the Americas which the Company considers mining friendly politically stable jurisdictions:

The increase of $2.0 million is attributable to more stream ounces delivered pursuant to the various stream agreements in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to 2015. The Company was delivered 75,294 GEOs under its stream agreements during first quarter 2016 compared to 53,936 GEOs delivered in first quarter 2015. Oil & gas operating costs were lower due to production and cost efficiencies implemented by the operators.

Depletion and Depreciation
Depletion and depreciation totaled $65.5 million for the quarter compared to $51.7 million in 2015. The increase of $13.8 million is due in part to the Antamina acquisition ($12.3 million), the Antapaccay acquisition ($5.5 million), higher production from Goldstrike ($0.6 million) and depletion for the Karma stream cost due to the initial deliveries received ($1.1 million). These increases were partially offset by lower depletion on Candelaria and Bald Mountain due to lower production and Oil & Gas due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

Corporate Administration
Corporate administration expenses increased to, $5.4 million in the quarter, representing 4.1% of revenue, from $4.1 million in 2015. The increase is due to higher board of directors costs as the deferred share units earned by board members increased in value during the quarter.

Finance income is earned on our cash equivalents and/or short-term investments. The increase in finance income is due to finance income earned from the True Gold additional financing option under the Karma stream agreement. Interest income in the amount of $0.5 million was accrued from the Noront loan during Q1 2016.
Finance expenses increased due to interest expense associated with the $460 million draw down of the credit facility in Q4 2015. In addition to the $0.8 million interest expensed, $0.7 million was capitalized to the Cobre Panama stream interest project. The amortization expense relates to amortization of the initial set-up costs incurred with respect to the credit facility.
Income Taxes
Franco-Nevada had an income tax expense of $8.1 million (2015 income tax expense of $9.0 million) for the quarter comprised of a current income tax expense of $5.5 million (2015 - $7.3 million) and a deferred income tax recovery of $2.6 million (2015 deferred income tax expense of $1.7 million) related to our Canadian and Mexican entities.
Net Income
Net income for the quarter was $30.0 million, or $0.18 per share, compared with a net income of $19.2 million, or $0.12 per share, for the same period in 2015. Adjusted Net Income was $28.0 million, or $0.17 per share, compared with $22.9 million, or $0.15 per share, for Q1 2015. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was driven primarily by higher revenue due to the recent asset acquisitions.

Balance Sheet Review
Total assets were $4,181.2 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $3,674.3 million at December 31, 2015. Our asset base is primarily comprised of non-current assets such as our royalty, stream and working interests, and current assets of cash and cash equivalents, which reflect our business strategy of growing a diversified portfolio and ensuring cash is available for future acquisitions and dividends. Total liabilities at March 31, 2016 were $47.0 million including current and deferred income tax liabilities.

Operating Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash assets and liabilities, relating to operating activities, was $99.4 million and $77.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase was attributable to higher revenues generated in the quarter as a result of recent mineral stream acquisitions Antamina and Antapaccay.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $482.0 million for the quarter compared to $21.1 million in the same period of 2015. The increase was due to the acquisitions of interests in mineral properties in 2016 compared to 2015, in particular the Antapaccay acquisition of $500.0 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $405.4 million for the quarter compared to a use of $23.6 million for 2015. The increase in cash provided is attributable to the funds raised from the equity issuance of 19.2 million shares resulting in $883.5 million net proceeds to the Company. This inflow of funds was partially used to repay the $460.0 million remaining drawn on the credit facility.
Cash Resources and Liquidity
Our performance is impacted by foreign currency fluctuations of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. The largest exposure we have is with respect to the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate as we hold a significant amount of our assets in Canada and report our results in U.S. dollars. The effect of this volatility in these currencies against the U.S. dollar impacts our corporate administration, business development expenses and depletion on mineral and oil & gas interests incurred in our Canadian and Australian entities due to their respective functional currencies. The Canadian dollar traded in a range of $0.6854 to $0.7715, closing the quarter at $0.7710, and the Australian dollar traded between $0.6859 and $0.7668.
As at March 31, 2016, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $186.9 million (December 31, 2015 - $168.0 million). In addition, we held investments at March 31, 2016 with a combined value of $114.0 million (December 31, 2015 - $94.8 million), of which $83.0 million was held in publicly traded equity instruments (December 31, 2015 - $64.6 million).
Managements objectives when managing capital are to:
(a) ensure the preservation and availability of capital by investing in low risk investments with high liquidity; and
(b) ensure that adequate levels of capital are maintained to meet requirements.
Typically Franco-Nevada invests its excess funds in term deposits, treasury bills of the U.S. government, Canadian federal and provincial governments and high quality corporate bonds. As at March 31, 2016, the majority of funds were held in cash deposits with several financial institutions. As at March 31, 2016, investments had maturities upon acquisition of 92 days. Accordingly, as at March 31, 2016, the investments were classified as short-term investments.
Our near-term cash requirements include funding of the Cobre Panama commitments, corporate administration costs, certain costs of operations, payment of dividends and income taxes directly related to the recognition of royalty and stream revenues. As a royalty/stream company, there are limited requirements for capital expenditures other than for the acquisition of additional royalties/streams and working interests capital commitments. Such acquisitions are entirely discretionary and will be consummated through the use of cash, as available, or through the issuance of common shares or other equity or debt securities or use of our credit facility. We believe that our current cash resources, our available credit facility and future cash flows will be sufficient to cover the cost of our commitments under the various stream agreements, administrative expenses, costs of operations and dividend payments for the foreseeable future.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of May 4, 2016, $1.0 billion, or its Canadian dollar equivalent, is available under our unsecured credit facility. Advances under the facility bear interest depending upon the currency of the advance and leverage ratio. In 2015, Franco-Nevada increased its credit facility from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion and extended the maturity to November 12, 2020. As of May 4, 2016, U.S. and Canadian dollar advances under the facility would bear interest rates of 3.95% and 2.90%, respectively. We can also draw funds using LIBOR 30-day rates plus 120 basis points under our credit facility.
Standby fees of $0.4 million (2015 - $0.3 million), interest of $0.8 million (2015 - $NIL) and amortization of issuance costs of $0.1 million (2015 - $0.1 million) were incurred and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on managements best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience. However, actual outcomes may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in notes 2 and 3 of our most recent annual consolidated financial statements.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
IAS 12 Income Taxes
IAS 12, Income taxes (IAS 12) provides guidance on the recognition of deferred tax assets. In January 2016 the International Accounting Standards board issued amendments to clarify the requirements for recognizing deferred tax assets on unrealized losses. The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the assets tax base. They also clarify certain other aspects of accounting for deferred tax assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not yet permitted as they have not been incorporated into the CPA Canada Handbook, Part 1 - IFRS.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of IAS 12 on the consolidated financial statements.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining Franco-Nevadas internal control over financial reporting and other financial disclosure and our disclosure controls and procedures.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Franco-Nevadas internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Franco-Nevada; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of Franco-Nevada are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Franco-Nevada; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Franco-Nevadas assets that could have a material effect on Franco-Nevadas financial statements. Internal control over other financial disclosure is a process designed to ensure that other financial information included in this MD&A, fairly represents in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Franco-Nevada for the periods presented in this MD&A.
Franco-Nevadas disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to Franco-Nevada, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to management by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is prepared and that information required to be disclosed by Franco-Nevada in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or
submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may change.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, there has been no change in Franco-Nevadas internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Franco-Nevadas internal control over financial reporting.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share (EPS):
· Income tax expense/recovery;
· Finance expenses;
· Finance income;
· Foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses;
· Gains/losses on the sale of investments;
· Impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments;
· Depletion and depreciation; and
· Non-cash costs of sales.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company as a whole for the reporting periods presented, and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share allow investors and analysts to better evaluate the results of the underlying business of the Company. While the adjustments to net income and EPS in these measures include items that are both recurring and non-recurring, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are useful measures of the Companys performance because foreign exchange, gains/losses on sale of investments and impairment charges do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts, do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Margin
Margin is a non-IFRS financial measure which is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Management uses Margin to evaluate the performance of the Companys portfolio and we believe Margin provides a meaningful measure for investors and analysts to evaluate our overall ability to generate cash flow from our royalty, stream and working interests. Margin is intended to provide additional information, does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of performance in accordance with IFRS.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
This MD&A contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, respectively, which may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future events or future performance, managements expectations regarding Franco-Nevadas growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, carrying value of assets, future dividends and requirements for additional capital, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of commodities, expected mining sequences, business prospects and opportunities. In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates and assumptions are accurate and that such reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) will be realized. Such forward-looking statements reflect managements current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as plans, expects, is expected, budgets, scheduled, estimates, forecasts, predicts, projects, intends, targets, aims, anticipates or believes or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions may, could, should, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Franco-Nevada to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold, platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron-ore and oil and gas); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in national and local government legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies and the enforcement thereof; regulatory, political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or not the Company is determined to have passive foreign investment company (PFIC) status as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; potential changes in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; actual mineral content may differ from the reserves and resources contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in
which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious diseases; and the integration of acquired assets. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Companys ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material changes to existing tax treatment; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. For additional information with respect to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to Franco-Nevadas most recent Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on www.sedar.com and Franco-Nevadas most recent Annual Report filed on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date of this MD&A only and Franco-Nevada does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

FRANCO-NEVADA CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited, expressed in millions of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts)
Note 1 Corporate Information
Franco-Nevada Corporation (Franco-Nevada or the Company) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company is a gold-focused royalty and stream company with additional interests in silver, platinum group metals, oil & gas and other resource assets. The majority of revenues are generated from a diversified portfolio of properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile and Africa. The portfolio includes approximately 340 assets covering properties at various stages from production to early stage exploration.
The Companys shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange and the Company is domiciled in Canada. The Companys head and registered office is located at 199 Bay Street, Suite 2000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and were prepared using the same accounting policies, method of computation and presentation as were applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 4, 2016.
The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Seasonality is not considered to have a significant impact over the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim period have been accrued using the tax rates that would be applicable to expected total annual income.
b) New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
IAS 12, Income taxes (IAS 12) provides guidance on the recognition of deferred tax assets. In January 2016, the International Accounting Standards board issued amendments to clarify the requirements for recognizing deferred tax assets on unrealized losses. The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the assets tax base. They also clarify certain other aspects of accounting for deferred tax assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not yet permitted as they have not been incorporated into the CPA Canada Handbook, Part 1 - IFRS.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendment to IAS 12 on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 Acquisitions
On February 26, 2016, the Company acquired a $500.0 million precious metals stream from Glencore plc with reference to production from the Antapaccay mine located in Peru. Under the stream agreement, gold and silver deliveries are initially referenced to copper in concentrate shipped. The Company will receive 300 ounces of gold and 4,700 ounces of silver for each 1,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate shipped, until 630,000 ounces of gold and 10.0 million ounces of silver have been delivered. Thereafter, the Company will receive 30% of the gold and silver shipped. The Company will pay an on-going price of 20% of the spot price of gold and silver until 750,000 ounces of refined gold and 12.8 million ounces of refined silver have been delivered. Thereafter, the on-going price will increase to 30% of the spot price of gold and silver.
The acquisition has been classified as an asset acquisition.

Non-current investments
These investments comprise: (i) equity interests in various public and non-public entities which the Company acquired through the open market or through transactions; (ii) warrants in various publicly-listed companies; and (iii) a loan receivable from Noront acquired through the Ring of Fire transaction in 2015. Equity investments have been designated as available-for-sale and, as a result, have been recorded at fair value. One equity investment of a non-public entity, having a carrying value of $4.0 million, has been designated as an equity investment held at cost as no reliable estimate of fair value can be determined because there is no publicly available information in which to estimate future cash flows, associated operating costs or capital expenditures and no alternative active market. Management does not intend to dispose of the investment and expects to recover the carrying value through the payment of dividends.
The loan receivable has been designated as loans and receivables under IFRS and is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
As at March 31, 2016, the market value of certain of these investments increased compared to their values at December 31, 2015 and the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $15.8 million (2015 loss of $6.7 million), net of an income tax expense of $0.2 million (2015 $1.1 million income tax recovery), in other comprehensive income. The company also sold certain available-for-sale investments and re-classified $1.5 million gain (2015 - $NIL) from other comprehensive income (loss) to net income.
As at March 31, 2016, the market value of the publicly-traded warrants remained the same compared to their value as at December 31, 2015 and the Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $NIL (2015 loss of $0.2 million) in the consolidated statement of income.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy in the three months to March 31, 2016. There were also no changes made to any of the valuation techniques applied as of December 31, 2015. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (ie an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The fair values of the Companys remaining financial assets and liabilities which include receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and historically negligible credit losses.
The Company has not offset financial assets with financial liabilities.

The valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value are as follows:
a) Cash and cash equivalents
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, including interest bearing deposits, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.
b) Receivables
The fair values of receivables arising from gold and platinum group metal sales contracts that contain provisional pricing mechanisms are determined using the appropriate quoted forward prices from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, these receivables are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
c) Investments
The fair values of publicly-traded investments, including available-for-sale equity investments and warrants, are determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing prices of each particular security at the statement of financial position date. The closing prices are quoted market prices obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security, and therefore are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
d) Royalty, stream, working interests and oil well equipment
