Bonavie Tek: I will now turn over the call to Paul Brink, President and CEO of Franco-Nevada.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Bhanavi, and good morning. With a strong second quarter, with geosold up 18% year over year, due to higher production at Bakai and Tamina in South Arturo, new contributions from the recently acquired Kote Gold and Casa Baradi interests, and the start of production at Valentine Gold.

Paul Brink: Thank you, Bonavie Tek, and good morning. We had a strong Q2 with GEOs sold up 18% year-over-year due to higher production at Antapaccay, Antamina, and South Arturo, new contributions from the recently acquired Côté Gold and Casa Berardi interests, and the start of production at Valentine Gold. In addition to record gold prices in the quarter, we saw strong oil prices. With the higher energy contribution and the processing of stockpiles at Cobre Panama, we are tracking towards the upper half of our annual guidance range for 2026. At Cobre Panama, the environmental audit was completed, indicating no major findings and an overall compliance rate by the operation of 87.7%. The government then established a commission of senior ministers to evaluate both the environmental aspects and the economic contribution of a potential mine restart.

Speaker #3: In addition to record gold prices in the quarter, we saw strong oil prices. With the higher energy contribution and the processing of stockpiles at Koper Panama, we're tracking towards the upper half of our annual guidance range for 2026.

Speaker #3: At Koper Panama, the environmental audit was completed, indicating no major findings, and an overall compliance rate by the operation of 87.7%. The government then established a commission of senior ministers to evaluate both the environmental aspects and the economic contribution of a potential mine restart.

Speaker #3: Simply put, in our business, you want to grow through acquisition in the bear market and organically in a bull market. In particular, with our deep royalty portfolio, that organic growth can be very powerful.

Paul Brink: Simply put, in our business, you want to grow through acquisition in the bear market and organically in a bull market. In particular, with our deep royalty portfolio, that organic growth can be very powerful. Q2 is the spring quarter, and we saw green shoots across the portfolio. We received good news on future mine expansions at Côté, Detour, Magino, Valentine, Kondaskote, Caserones, and Seguela. At Candelaria, we had news of a potential pit pushback. At Porcupine, we had the Kidd acquisition that may ultimately allow a doubling of output. Guadalupe, Hemlo, Bullabulling, and AurMac all announced resource expansions. There was positive progress on mine development at Copper World and Stibnite Gold. Crawford Nickel received its federal approval, and PSJ Cobre Mendocino, previously San Jorge, its Argentinian rig approval. Lastly, success at the drill bit.

Speaker #3: Q2 is the spring quarter, and we saw green shoots across the portfolio. We received good news on future mine expansions at all of Côté, Detour, Magino, Valentine, Conda, Starlake, Casa Berardi, and Séguéla.

Speaker #3: At Candelaria, we had news of a potential pushback. And at Porcupine, we had the Kidd acquisition that may ultimately allow a doubling of output.

Speaker #3: Guadeloupe, Hemlo, Bulla Bulling, and Ormac all announced resource expansions. There was positive progress on mine development at Copper World and Stibnite Gold. Crawford Nickel received its federal approval.

Speaker #3: And PSJ Mendocino, previously San Jorge, its Argentinian regal approval. And lastly, success at the drill bid. Great exploration results in the Porcupine camp, Borden Oil Outcreek, and others, Midas where Heckler are considering a restart, Stipnite where they started drilling again after more than a decade, and at Ormac and Bulla Bulling where we have new interests.

Paul Brink: Great exploration results in the Porcupine Camp, Borden, Hoyle, Owl Creek, and others. Midas, where Hecla are considering a restart, Stibnite, where they started drilling again after more than a decade, and at AurMac and Bullabulling, where we have new interests. Energy revenue was up on stronger oil prices. While operator capital discipline prevails, there has been a pickup in US oil rig rates, 450 rigs now up from 420 three months ago in the lower 48. Also, reinvestment rates amongst the US producers are moving up 55% now on average versus 51% earlier in the year, both of which bode well for higher future production rates. The leverage on the API at our Weyburn interest in Canada gave a nice boost to our Canadian energy segment. On the sustainability front, we continue to expand our engagement with and contributions to communities at mine sites.

Speaker #3: Energy revenue was up on stronger oil prices. While operator capital discipline prevails, there has been a pickup in US oil rig rates: 450 rigs now up from 420 three months ago, in the lower 48.

Speaker #3: Also reinvestment rates amongst the US producers are moving up: 55% now on average versus 51% earlier in the year. Both of which bode well for higher future production rates.

Speaker #3: The leverage on the NBI at our wayburn interest in Canada gave a nice boost to our Canadian energy segment. On the sustainability front, we continue to expand.

Speaker #3: Our engagement with and contributions to communities at mine sites: FRANCO NEVADA was recognized as one of Corporate Night's best 100 best 50 corporate citizens in Canada for 2026 and achieved an A rating from CDP.

Paul Brink: Franco-Nevada was recognized as one of Corporate Knights Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada for 2026 and achieved an A rating from CDP. We are in the progress of evaluating candidates for our expanded scholarship program and are delighted with a bumper crop of excellent applicants this year. Ian and the business development team have a strong pipeline of opportunities. Fortunately, our total available capital stands at USD 4.3 billion, so we are well-positioned to add attractive new assets to the portfolio. With that, I will hand the call over to Sandip.

Speaker #3: We're in the process of evaluating candidates for our expanded scholarship program and are delighted with a bumper crop of excellent applicants this year. Yen and the business development team have a strong pipeline of opportunities.

Speaker #3: Unfortunately, our total available capital stands at 4.3 billion. So we're well positioned to add attractive new assets to the portfolio. With that, I'll hand the call over to Sandip.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Paul. Good morning, everyone. Franco-Nevada reported another quarter of solid financial results as our portfolio of royalty and stream assets continued to perform well and in line with our expectations.

Sandip Rana: Thanks, Paul. Good morning, everyone. Franco-Nevada reported another quarter of solid financial results as our portfolio of royalty and stream assets continued to perform well and in line with our expectations. The performance during the quarter continues the very strong start to the year with record financial results achieved for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and operating cash flow for the first six months of 2026. On slide 4, you will see a summary of commodity prices for Q2 2026 and 2025. Precious metal prices have increased significantly year over year, with the average gold price higher by 38% and silver by 118% in the quarter. However, both gold and silver prices have retreated from the highs reached during Q1. For the diversified commodities, with the continued conflict in the Middle East, oil price has seen a sharp increase over prior year.

Speaker #1: The performance during the quarter continues the very strong start to the year with record financial results achieved for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and operating cash flow for the first six months of 2026.

Speaker #1: On slide 4, you will see a summary of commodity prices. For second quarter 2026 and 2025, precious metal prices have increased significantly year over year, with the average gold price higher by 38% and silver by 118% in the quarter.

Speaker #1: However, both gold and silver prices have retreated from the highs reached during first quarter. For the diversified commodities, with the continued conflict in the Middle East, oil prices seen a sharp increase over prior year.

Speaker #1: The WTI price has been volatile over the last few months but remains above $80 a barrel. Energy revenues did benefit from the higher price in the quarter, and we expect this to carry through the third quarter.

Sandip Rana: The WTI price has been volatile over the last few months, but remains above USD 80 a barrel. Energy revenues did benefit from the higher price in the quarter, and we expect this to carry through to Q3. Slide 5 provides an overview of our key financial results. The performance from our assets, combined with stronger commodity prices, resulted in an increase in revenue of 57%, adjusted EBITDA 45%, and adjusted net income of 46%. Total GEOs sold for the quarter increased by 18% to 132,405, compared to just over 112,000 in Q2 2025. Precious metal GEOs sold in the quarter were 114,111, higher by 23% compared to prior year. 56% of total GEOs sold during the quarter were sourced directly from mines where precious metals are the primary commodity. For the quarter, we received strong contributions from several assets.

Speaker #1: Slide 5 provides an overview of our key financial results. The performance from our assets, combined with stronger commodity prices, resulted in an increase in revenue of $57%, adjusted EBITDA 45%, and adjusted net income of 46%.

Speaker #1: Total geosold for the quarter increased by 18% to 132,405, compared to just over 112,000 in second quarter 2025. Precious metal geosold in the quarter were 114,111, higher by 23%, 23% compared to prior year.

Speaker #1: 56% of total geosold during the quarter were sourced directly from mines where precious metals are the primary commodity. For the quarter, we received strong contributions from several assets.

Speaker #1: At Antimina, we benefited from both higher deliveries but also benefited from the higher silver price resulting in an increase in revenue from 23.3 million in Q2 2025 to 57.4 million this quarter.

Sandip Rana: At Antamina, we benefited from both higher deliveries but also benefited from the higher silver price, resulting in an increase in revenue from USD 23.3 million in Q2 2025 to USD 57.4 million this quarter. For Antapaccay, we benefited from the processing of higher-grade ore, which we expect to continue in H2 2026. At South Arturo, we had a significant increase in GEOs as we benefited from the phase 1 production of the open pit. Please note this strong performance was always weighted towards H1 of the year. At Candelaria, production at the mine was lower compared to prior year, as last year the mine had the benefit of higher-grade ore from phase 11.

Speaker #1: For Antipacay, we benefited from the processing of higher-grade ore. Which we expect to continue in the second half of 2026. At South Arturo, we had a significant increase in geos as we benefited from the phase one production of the open pit.

Speaker #1: Please note this strong performance was always weighted towards the first half of the year. At Candelaria, production at the mine was lower compared to prior year, as last year the mine had the benefit of higher-grade ore from phase 11.

Speaker #1: Lendine Mining expects production to be weighted toward the second half of 2026 due to increased availability of higher-grade Phase 12 ore, combined with increased underground mining rates as the underground insourcing initiative nears completion.

Sandip Rana: Lundin Mining expects production to be weighted towards the H2 2026 due to increased availability of higher-grade phase 12 ore, combined with increased underground mining rates as the underground insourcing initiative nears completion. Diversified GEOs sold were 18,209 for the quarter, compared to 19,644 for prior year, despite diversified revenue being 31% higher at $82.2 million. The decrease in GEOs is the result of converting revenue to GEOs at a higher gold price. As you know, we are converting GEOs using a fixed gold price of $4,500 per ounce. With respect to cost, we did have an increase in cost of sales compared to Q2 2025 due to higher fixed costs paid for stream ounces, as a portion of our streams have a fixed cost based on a percentage of the gold price. Cost of sales was $45.9 million versus $32.5 million last year.

Speaker #1: Diversified GEOs sold were 18,209 for the quarter, compared to 19,644 for the prior year, despite diversified revenue being 31% higher at $82.2 million. The decrease in GEOs is the result of converting revenue to GEOs at a higher gold price.

With respect to costs, we did have an increase in cost of sales compared to Q2 2025, due to higher fixed costs paid for stream ounces, as a portion of our streams have a fixed cost base on a percentage of the gold price.

Speaker #1: Cost of sales was 45.9 million versus 32.5 million last year. Depletion increased 84 million, versus 64 million a year ago, the increase being due to depletion being recorded on some of our recent transactions.

Sandip Rana: Depletion increased to $84 million versus $64 million a year ago. The increase being due to depletion being recorded on some of our recent transactions, Yanacocha, Casa Berardi, Porcupine, and Côté. These assets are higher per ounce depletion assets. We expect the depletion rate to decrease over time as the reserves on the properties grow. Adjusted net income was $349.2 million, or $1.81 per share for the quarter, both higher by 46% year-over-year. Slide 6 highlights the continued diversification of the portfolio. 86% of our Q2 revenue was generated by precious metals, with revenue being sourced 88% from the Americas, and no one asset generated more than 10% of revenue, as we have one of the most diverse portfolios in the industry. The model continues to be a very high margin business, as shown on slide 7.

Speaker #1: Yanacocha, Casaburrati, Porcupine, and Côté—these assets are higher per-ounce depletion assets. We expect the depletion rate to decrease over time as the reserves on the properties grow.

Speaker #1: And then net and adjusted net income was 349.2 million, or $1.81 per share for the quarter, both higher by 46% year over year. Slide 6 highlights the continued diversification of the portfolio.

Speaker #1: 86% of our second quarter revenue was generated by precious metals. With revenue being sourced 88% from the Americas, and no one asset generated more than 10% of revenue as we have one of the most diverse portfolios in the industry.

Speaker #1: The model continues to be a very high-margin business, as shown on slide 7. The margin per geo is increased from 1,559 per geo in 2022 to 4,352 per geo in 2026, 179% increase while during this time the gold price has increased 160%.

Sandip Rana: The margin per GEO has increased from $1,559 per GEO in 2022 to $4,352 per GEO in 2026. A 179% increase, while during this time the gold price has increased 160%. As we turn to dividends on slide 8, the company continues to pay a quarterly dividend, with $84 million being paid to shareholders during the quarter. With respect to our guidance summarized on slide 9, we have guided to 510,000 to 570,000 total GEOs sold for the full year 2026. With the strong performance of our portfolio for the first six months of 2026, with approximately 269,000 GEOs sold and an expected stronger H2 of the year, we are tracking towards the upper half of the annual guidance range. We expect stronger H2 performance from several assets, including Candelaria, Tocantinzinho, Côté, and Valentine.

Speaker #1: As we turn to dividends on slide 8, the company continues to pay a quarterly dividend, with $84 million being paid to shareholders during the quarter.

Speaker #1: With respect to our guidance summarized on slide 9, we have guided to 510,000 to 570,000 total GEOs sold for the full year 2026. With the strong performance of our portfolio for the first six months of 2026, with approximately 269,000 GEOs sold and an expected stronger second half of the year, we are tracking towards the upper half of the annual guidance range.

Speaker #1: We expect stronger second half performance from several assets, including Candelaria, Tokensinio, Cote, and Valentine. We expect to receive between 9,000 and 10,000 geos from Cobre Panama, as first quantum has begun processing continued strong oil price, we expect energy revenue to remain strong in the second half of the year.

Sandip Rana: We expect to receive between 9,000 and 10,000 GEOs from Cobre Panama, as First Quantum Minerals has begun processing stockpile ore. With the continued strong oil price, we expect energy revenue to remain strong in the H2 of the year. Lastly, slide 10 highlights our available capital. As at 30 June 2026, the total available capital is $4.3 billion, comprised of $1 billion in cash, $2.25 billion of a credit facility, including the accordions, and $1.2 billion in liquid marketable securities. The company continues to remain debt-free and is well capitalized to continue to add good quality assets to the portfolio. With that, I will pass it over to Anis, as management is happy to answer any questions.

Speaker #1: And lastly, slide 10 highlights our available capital. As at June 30, 2026, the total available capital is $4.3 billion, comprised of $1 billion in cash, $2.25 billion of our credit facility, including the accordions, and $1.2 billion in liquid marketable securities.

Speaker #1: The company continues to remain debt-free and is well-capitalized to continue to add good quality assets to the portfolio. In that and with that, I will pass it over to Ennis as management is happy to answer any questions.

Operator: Of course, Sandip. During this Q&A session, if you would like to ask a question, simply press star then the number 1 on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, please press star followed by 2. If you are joining us on the webcast, please submit your questions through the Q&A section of the webcast platform. 1 moment please for your first question. Your first question comes from Cosmos Chiu with CIBC. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: If you'd like to order your question, please press start followed by 2. If you're joining us on the webcast, please submit your question through the Q&A section of the webcast platform.

Speaker #2: One moment, please, for your first question. Your first question comes from Cosma Chiu, with CIBC. Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Thanks. Paul and Sandip, for taking my questions. Maybe my first questions on the NPIs. I noticed that Hemlo was down quarter over quarter. Whereas the Muscle White NPI was up quarter over quarter.

Cosmos Chiu: Thanks, Paul and Sandip, for taking my questions. My first question is on the NPIs. I noticed that Hemlo was down quarter-over-quarter, whereas the Musselwhite NPI was up quarter-over-quarter. I guess it is always volatile in terms of these NPIs, but how should we look at it based on what we know in Q1 and Q2 on what we should expect in Q3 and Q4?

Speaker #3: So, I guess it is always volatile in terms of these NPIs, but how should we look at it based on what we know in Q1 and Q2, in terms of what we should expect in Q3 and Q4?

Speaker #1: Sure. Hi, Cosmos. Thanks for the questions.

Sandip Rana: Sure. Hi, Cosmos. Thanks for the questions.

Speaker #3: Hi, Sandy.

Cosmos Chiu: Hi, Sandip.

Speaker #1: Hey, you said it correctly. They are volatile, and for us, a lot of it is based on visibility. At Hemlo, in Q2, Hemlo Mining produced less on our interlaced lands than in previous quarters, which impacted the NPI.

Sandip Rana: Hey, you said it correctly. They are volatile and for us, a lot of it is based on visibility. At Hemlo, in Q2, Hemlo Mining produced less on our Interlake lands than previous quarters, which impacted the NPI. I think for the H2 of the year, from what we gather, production should increase. Does it hit what was achieved in Q1? I do not know, but it should be higher than Q2. I would expect a slightly higher NPI for the H2 of the year from Hemlo. Obviously, that is all contingent upon commodity prices as well. At Musselwhite, we did have strong performance in Q2. A large component of that was a catch-up entry for 2025. For Musselwhite, we have limited visibility, and then there is a finalization of the NPI calculation that happens in the following year.

Speaker #1: I think for the second half of the year, from what we gathered, production should increase. Does it hit what was achieved in Q1? I don't know, but it should be higher than Q2.

Speaker #1: So I would expect a slightly higher NPI for the second half of the year from Hemlo. Obviously, that's all contingent upon commodity prices as well.

Speaker #1: Matt, Musclewhite—we did have strong performance in Q2. A large component of that was a catch-up entry for 2025. For Musclewhite, we have limited visibility, and then there's a finalization of the NPI calculation that happens in the following year.

Speaker #1: So in Q2 is when we got that final number, and we recorded that. But considering we're a commodity prices are right now, I would expect a very strong NPI for Muscle White for 2026.

Sandip Rana: In Q2 is when we got that final number, and we recorded that. But considering where commodity prices are right now, I would expect a very strong NPI for Musselwhite for 2026.

Speaker #3: Great. And that maybe diving a little bit deeper into Hemlo. Last night, I guess they reported earnings, and they're deferring formal guidance, production guidance from sometime in 2026 into 2027.

Cosmos Chiu: Great. Maybe diving a little bit deeper into Hemlo. Last night, I guess they reported earnings and they are deferring formal guidance, production guidance, from sometime in 2026 into 2027. From where you are standing, and there is a lot of moving pieces, it is based on actual production from the asset, but also the Interlake component. Any concerns in terms of that deferral of guidance? It seems like things are kind of ramping up potentially slower than expected.

Speaker #3: For work, your standing and there's a lot of moving pieces. It's based on actual production from the asset, but also the interlaced component. But any concerns in terms of that deferral of guidance?

Speaker #3: It seems like things are kind of ramping up, potentially slower than expected.

Speaker #1: Yeah, I think Hemlo is doing the team is doing a very good job there. They just took over the asset last year. From our perspective, we're pretty confident that mining on interlaced will continue.

Sandip Rana: I think Hemlo is doing. The team is doing a very good job there. They just took over the asset last year. From our perspective, we are pretty confident that mining on Interlake will continue for the next number of years. Obviously, it will be volatile just depending upon how development is going, but we are pretty confident that the NPI will be there for the foreseeable future.

Speaker #1: For the next number of years, obviously, it'll be volatile just depending upon how development is going, but we're pretty confident that the NPI will be there for the foreseeable future.

Speaker #3: Great. And maybe switching gears a little bit to Guadalupe and Palmarejo. As you mentioned in your prepared remarks, it continues to be one of the larger contributors of GEOs.

Cosmos Chiu: Great. Maybe switching gears a little bit to Guadalupe and Palmarejo. As you mentioned in your prepared remarks, it continues to be one of the larger contributors of GEOs. My question is, when we talk to Coeur Mining, the management team continues to remind us that exploration continues beyond the Franco-Nevada area of influence. From that perspective, how should we look at it? Is there any kind of near-term concerns to Franco-Nevada?

Speaker #3: But I guess my question is, when we talk to Coral Mining and the management team continues to remind us that exploration continues beyond the Franco-Nevada area of influence, I guess from that perspective, how should we look at it?

Speaker #3: Are there any near-term concerns for Franco-Nevada?

Speaker #1: All right. They've had very good exploration results, both on stream ground and off stream ground. On our ground specifically, Hidalgo, based upon what we've seen, production on our land will continue for the foreseeable future.

Sandip Rana: They've had very good exploration results, both on stream ground and off stream ground, on our ground, specifically Hidalgo. Based upon what we've seen, production on our land will continue for the foreseeable future. A large portion of their production is still on Franco stream ground. Obviously, they are trying to find additional resources on adjacent lands where the stream doesn't apply. Right now, we don't have any concern.

Speaker #1: A large portion of their production is still on Franco stream ground. Obviously, they are trying to find additional resources on adjacent lands, where the stream doesn't apply.

Speaker #1: But right now, we don't have any concern.

Speaker #3: Great. And that maybe one last question. Tracking your margins here, and Sandip, you did a good job in terms of looking at the margin expansion.

Cosmos Chiu: Great. Then maybe one last question. Tracking your margins here, Sandip, you did a good job in terms of looking at the margin expansion. Another way I looked at it was the adjusted EBITDA margin. I noticed that it's increased 87.6% four quarters ago to 90.6%, 91% now to 91.2%. Again, the adjusted EBITDA margin. Is that just a function of, I guess, the increase in commodity prices, coupled with not as much of an increase or no increase at all to cost? Is that a percentage that you track yourself? Are you happy with the 91.2% right now?

Speaker #3: Another way I looked at it was the adjusted EBITDA margin. I noticed that it's increased 87.6 four quarters ago to 90.6, 91 now to 91.2%.

Speaker #3: Again, the adjusted EBITDA margin. Is that just a function of, I guess, the increase in commodity prices? Coupled with not as much of an increase or no increase at all to cost.

Speaker #3: And is that a percentage that you track yourself, that you're happy with—a 91.2% right now?

Speaker #1: Yeah, no, it's we are very high margin business. Obviously, it's composed of a number of factors. One is how much of our geos and revenue and EBITDA is being generated by streams.

Sandip Rana: Yeah, no, we are a very high margin business. Obviously, it's composed of a number of factors. One is how much of our GEOs and revenue and EBITDA is being generated by streams. It just so happens right now in the recent deals we've done have been more royalty deals, and they're obviously limited or no cost associated with those. So it's just the leverage of the portfolio overall.

Speaker #1: It just so happens right now in our recent deals, we've done have been more royalty deals. And they're obviously limited or no cost associated with those.

Speaker #1: So it's just the leverage of the portfolio overall.

Speaker #3: Great. Those are the questions I have. Thanks again, Sandip and Paul, for answering all my questions.

Cosmos Chiu: Great. Those are all the questions I have. Thanks again, Sandip and Paul, for answering all my questions.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Your next question comes from Lawson Winder with Bank of America Securities. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Lawson Winder with BofA Securities, Inc. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: Thank you, operator. Good morning, Paul and Sandip. Thank you for today's update. Can I start with the 2026 guidance and your expectation to be in the top half of the range?

Lawson Winder: Thank you, operator. Good morning, Paul and Sandip. Thank you for today's update. Can I start with the 2026 guidance and your expectation to be in the top half of the range, and that includes Cobre Panama, potentially stronger oil prices. If you just take the midpoint of the GEO volume guidance range of 540 and then add Cobre Panama, which is about 27.5 GEOs, and then you assume higher oil prices, I think you could comfortably get above the range. So it would suggest that you're tracking to above the range, or it might also suggest that ex-Cobre Panama and higher oil prices, the portfolio is tracking to perhaps well below the midpoint. Could you maybe just clear up what would be the right way to think about that?

Speaker #1: And that includes Cobra Panama, potentially stronger oil prices. Look, if you just take the midpoint of the GEO volume guidance range of 540 and then add Cobra Panama of about 27 and a half GEOs, from and then you assume higher oil prices.

Speaker #1: I think you could comfortably get above the range. So it would suggest that you're tracking to above the range. Or I mean, it might also suggest that ex-Cobra Panama and higher oil prices the portfolio is tracking to perhaps well below the midpoint.

Speaker #1: Could you maybe just clear up what would be the right way to think about that?

Sandip Rana: That's a good question, Lawson. So for us, obviously, we've looked at our numbers. As you said, the midpoint was 540 of our guidance range. Yeah, Cobre is 9 to 10. Energy prices will add some additional GEOs, assuming oil prices stay where they are. But then we are expecting stronger performance from Candelaria, Côté, Valentine, a few others. We're expecting weaker performance from the South Arturo, which was more focused on the H1 of the year. So as we've said, it's going to be tracking at the higher end of the overall range. We're still in the middle of the year. There is the possibility that you could surpass the range, but a lot of things have to happen for that to occur. So right now, we're comfortable with just providing that guidance range.

Speaker #3: Yeah, it's a good question, Lawson. So for us, obviously, we've looked at our numbers as you said, the midpoint was 540 of our guidance range.

Speaker #3: Yeah, Cobra is 9 to 10. Energy prices will add some additional geos, assuming oil prices stay where they are. And then we are expecting stronger performance from Candelaria Cote, Valentine, a few others.

Speaker #3: We're expecting weaker performance from the South Otoro, which was more focused on the first half of the year. So as we've said, it's going to be tracking at the higher end of the overall range.

Speaker #3: We're still in the middle of the year. There is the possibility that you could surpass the range, but a lot of things have to happen for that to occur.

Speaker #3: So, right now, we're comfortable with just providing that guidance range.

Speaker #2: Lawson, do you have any follow-up?

Operator: Lawson, do you have any follow-up?

Speaker #1: Yeah, thank you very much for that color. You spoke in the release also about the pipeline, and you noted a relatively robust pipeline. Yet, I mean, a number of the transactions you did in the quarter, while they were relatively numerous, were relatively small.

Lawson Winder: Yeah. Thank you very much for that color. You spoke in the release also about the pipeline, and you noted a relatively robust pipeline. Yet, a number of the transactions you did in the quarter, while they were relatively numerous, were relatively small. Total value in the $84 million. Around $84 million, including the July transaction. Could you just speak to what you're seeing in the pipeline in terms of substantially large transactions? Particularly in light of $4.3 billion. The other side of the question would be, if you're not seeing really substantial meaty deals in the pipeline, if it's a lot more of these smaller transactions like you guys completed in Q2 and in Q3 to date, is there a thought to perhaps considering a special dividend?

Speaker #1: I mean, total value in the $84 million—around $84 million, including the July transaction. Could you just speak to what you're seeing in the pipeline in terms of substantially large transactions?

Speaker #1: Particularly in light of 4.3 billion dollars. And then I mean, the other side of the question, would be I mean, if you're not seeing really substantial meaty deals, in the pipeline, if it's a lot more of these smaller transactions, like you guys completed in Q2 and Q3 to date, is there a thought to perhaps considering a special dividend?

Speaker #3: I Lawson, it's Ian speaking here. Thank you for the question. It's a good question. What I would say is we're active across a range of development phases and deal sizes.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): Hi, Lawson, it's Ian speaking here. Thank you for the question. It's a good question. What I would say is we're active across a range of development phases and deal sizes. You're right that during the quarter, the size did step down from the cadence and magnitude that you had seen in prior quarters. I don't think that's reflective of the pipeline going forward necessarily, though. What I do see at the moment is a number of opportunities in project finance, which suits our financial backer strategy well. So we're hopeful that with time, we'll see more of those types of transactions come forward.

Speaker #3: You're right that, during the quarter, the size did step down from the cadence and magnitude that you had seen in prior quarters. I don't think that's reflective of the pipeline going forward necessarily, though.

Speaker #3: What I do see at the moment is a number of opportunities in project finance, which suits our financial backer strategy well. So we're hopeful that, with time, we'll see more of those types of transactions come forward.

Speaker #3: And in terms of overall liquidity, looking at the magnitude of the pipeline, I do feel comfortable at this stage that we're going to be able to deploy quite a bit of our capital before we have to think about any other ways to return it.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): In terms of overall liquidity, looking at the magnitude of the pipeline, I do feel comfortable at this stage that we're going to be able to deploy quite a bit of our capital before we have to think about any other ways to return it.

Speaker #1: Okay. And then just so thinking about some of the larger transactions that you might have in the portfolio, could you help sort of narrow that down to a bit of a size range?

Lawson Winder: Okay. Thinking about some of the larger transactions that you might have in the portfolio, can you help sort of narrow that down to a bit of a size range? Are we talking like USD 100 million size range, or are there potential billion-dollar transactions in the pipeline?

Speaker #1: Are we talking like 100 million size range or are there potential billion dollar transactions in the pipeline?

Speaker #3: It's a wide range. As I highlighted, there are some significantly larger transactions, which are required to deploy. The kind of capital that we've accumulated.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): It's a wide range, as I highlighted. There are some significantly larger transactions which are required to deploy the kind of capital that we've accumulated. I think what you've seen over the last couple of years in terms of transactions is reflective of the potential we see in the pipeline going forward. We were successful deploying in the past, and I believe we'll be successful going forward.

Speaker #3: So, I think what you've seen over the last couple of years in terms of transactions is reflective of the potential we see in the pipeline going forward.

Speaker #3: So we were successful deploying in the past, and I believe we'll be successful going forward.

Speaker #1: And then maybe just one final follow-up on the pipeline. To what extent would you describe the current pipeline as urgent or how would you describe the urgency of the deals within the pipeline?

Lawson Winder: Then maybe just one final follow-up on the pipeline. To what extent would you describe the current pipeline as urgent, or how would you describe the urgency of the deals within the pipeline? Is this stuff you could see completed in Q3, or are we looking at a longer timeline, maybe looking out 12 to 18 months?

Speaker #1: Is this stuff you could see completed in Q3 or are we looking at sort of a longer timeline, maybe looking out 12 to 18 months?

Speaker #3: Sure. That's a good observation. What I would say is the larger transactions tend to be a little bit lumpier in the timeline. Can be longer for those.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): Sure. That's a good observation. What I would say is the larger transactions tend to be a little bit lumpier. The timeline can be longer for those. So hard to handicap exactly when deals are going to close. But I'd see the cadence perhaps, just based on what I'm seeing now, picking up later in the year and into next year.

Speaker #3: It's so hard to kind of handicap exactly when deals are going to close, but I'd see the cadence, perhaps just based on what I'm seeing now, picking up later in the year and into next year.

Speaker #1: Okay, thanks so much. Appreciate it, Ian. Appreciate it, Paul and Sandy. Thanks.

Lawson Winder: Okay. Thanks so much. Appreciate it, Ian. Appreciate it, Paul and Sandip. Thanks.

Speaker #3: Thank you.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Your next question comes from Daniel Major with UBS. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Daniel Major with UBS. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Hi. Yeah, thanks for the presentation. Thanks for the questions. Yeah, first question just on Cobre Panama. My understanding is First Quantum has sort of started or is imminently starting negotiations with the government on the fiscal terms to facilitate a restart.

Daniel Major: Hi. Yeah, thanks for the presentation. Thanks for the questions. First question on Cobre Panama. My understanding is First Quantum has started or is imminently starting negotiations with the government on the fiscal terms to facilitate a restart. Have you had any engagement with the Panamanian government? Has there been any discussions around any potential changes to the economics of the stream?

Speaker #4: Have you had any engagement with the Panamanian government? Has there been any discussions around any potential changes to the economics of the stream?

Paul Brink: Daniel, it is Paul. No. First Quantum is the operator there, so they are the party that will engage with the government here. As you know, no formal negotiations yet. But we are not at that table.

Speaker #3: Daniel, it's Paul, no. Yeah, first quantum is the operator there. So they're the party that will engage with the government here. As you know, no formal negotiations yet.

Speaker #3: But we're not at that table.

Speaker #4: Okay. So there's no discussion at this point of any potential changes to the fiscal terms as part of any negotiation or any settlement to start the mine?

Daniel Major: Okay. So there is no discussion at this point of any potential changes to the fiscal terms as part of any negotiation or any settlement to start the mine?

Paul Brink: No, there is not.

Speaker #3: No, there isn't.

Speaker #4: Okay, thank you. That's clear. A second question is on the energy diversified portfolio. You obviously highlighted the benefit from higher revenues and made a reference to the increase in the rig count in the US.

Daniel Major: Okay, thank you. That is clear. Second question is on the energy diversified portfolio. You obviously highlighted the benefit from higher revenues and made a reference to the increase in the rig count in the US. Would you also expect to see any pickup in sales volumes, not on a GEO basis, but on a unit basis in the H2 and potentially following through into 2027?

Speaker #4: Would you also expect to see any pickup in sales volumes on a not on a GEO basis, but on a unit basis into second half and potentially following through into 2027?

Paul Brink: I am hopeful that they will be. In my own estimation, for the US plays, you would need at least 6 months for people to change their drill programs. So Q2 is still too early. If you go 6 months ahead of that, your oil prices were probably still in the $60 ranges. I expect back end of this year, as you say, beginning of next year, that you will see the higher drill rates translating into production. I am hopeful that we will see higher unit volumes as a result.

Speaker #1: I'm hopeful that they will be.

Speaker #3: In my own estimation for the US plays, you'd need at least six months for people to change their drill programs. So Q2 is still too early.

Speaker #3: If you go six months ahead of that, your oil prices were probably still in the $60 range. So, I only expect the back end of this year, as you say, beginning of next year, that you'll see those higher drill rates translating into production.

Speaker #3: I am hopeful that we'll see higher unit volumes as a result.

Speaker #4: Okay, so there's a potential tailwind, independent of energy pricing, into 2027 from a GEO basis?

Daniel Major: Okay, so there is a potential tailwind independent of energy pricing into 2027 from a GEO basis?

Speaker #3: Yes.

Paul Brink: Yes.

Speaker #4: Okay, thanks. And then, the next one—just thinking about the question on the project pipeline. New Prosperity has been something you've mentioned on previous calls.

Daniel Major: Okay, thanks. The next one, just thinking about a question on the project pipeline. New Prosperity has been something you have mentioned on previous calls. Can you give us an update on the catalysts we should be looking for there?

Speaker #4: Can you give us an update on the catalysts we should be looking for there?

Speaker #1: Yeah, as we've spoken before the arrangement that was set up, I think it's about a year ago now, between the operator there and the First Nations was that there's the potential that if the First Nations decides to go ahead with the mining operation, that they would be 20% they would have 20% ownership of that.

Paul Brink: Yeah, as we have spoken before, the arrangement that was set up, I think it is about a year ago now, between the operator there and First Nations, was that there is potential that if the First Nations decides to go ahead with the mining operation, that they would have 20% ownership of that. So there is a land use planning process that is going on amongst the First Nations. There is no timeline to that. It is at their determination. But they and the BC government are working on that. I am hopeful it will come to a positive conclusion. I cannot put a timeline on it. So I think that is the outlook.

Speaker #1: So there is a land use planning process that is going on amongst the First Nations. There's no timeline to that. It's their determination. But they and the BC government are working on that.

Speaker #1: So I'm hopeful it'll come to a positive conclusion. I can't put a timeline on it, but I think that is the outlook.

Speaker #4: Okay. Great. Thank you. And one just very last quick one, if I may. I think Lindene mentioned the step down in the candle area stream around the end of this year.

Daniel Major: Okay, great. Thank you. One very last quick one, if I may. Lundin mentioned the step down in the Candelaria stream around the end of this year. What quarter, or can you give us any sort of clear guidance on when you expect that to come through?

Speaker #4: What quarter or can you give us any sort of clear guidance on when you expect that to come through?

Sandip Rana: Our estimate is H1 2027, obviously, depending upon how production goes at Candelaria for the remainder of 2026. It could happen later this year, but for now, we are estimating H1 2027.

Speaker #1: So, our estimate is early in the first half of 2027. Obviously, depending upon how production goes in that Candelaria area for the remainder of '26, it could happen later this year, but for now, we're estimating the first half of 2027.

Speaker #4: Okay. Great. Thanks a lot.

Daniel Major: Okay, great. Thanks a lot.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Your next question comes from Tanya Jacobic with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Tanya Jakusconek with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.

Speaker #5: Oh, great. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for taking my questions. Sandy, can I start on just the revenue side? I was a bit light on the oil and gas, on the energy side.

Tanya Jakusconek: Oh, great. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for taking my question. Sandip, can I start on just the revenue side? That was a bit light on the oil and gas, on the energy side. I am just wondering on the energy side, was there a little bit of a delay in sort of the pricing of oil and sort of when you received your revenue that shifted it into Q3? I am just wondering why I was a bit light, sorry, I was a bit heavy on my side on the oil side.

Speaker #5: So, I'm just wondering, on the energy side, was there a little bit of a delay in the pricing of oil and when you received your revenue, that shifted it into Q3?

Speaker #5: I'm just wondering why I was a bit light—sorry, I was a bit heavy on my side, on the oil side.

Speaker #1: Sure, sure, Tanya. So part of that is just information in terms of production. There’s a delay in receiving actual production data for the wells that are on our land.

Sandip Rana: Sure, Tanya.

Sandip Rana: Information in terms of production. There is a delay in receiving actual production data for the wells that is on our land. We do make an estimate, but in our nature, we do try to make sure that we are as accurate as possible. We will not lean more towards the conservative side. Wells that we are producing and the production data for, say, May and June, we do not get the actual numbers till a few months later. That is probably partly the reason why you were light.

Speaker #1: And so we do make an estimate, but in our nature, we do try to make sure that we're as accurate as possible. We won't lean more towards the conservative side.

Speaker #1: So wells that were producing in the production data for, say, May and June, we don't get the actual numbers till a few months later.

Speaker #1: So that's probably partly the reason why you were light. Or sorry, it's too high.

Tanya Jakusconek: Okay.

Sandip Rana: Or sorry, too high.

Speaker #5: Yeah, too high. And then the other area I was a bit too high on was also iron ore. So I'm just wondering, on Vale's side, how should I be thinking about the second half? And then on Sudbury, on the PGMs, how should I be thinking about that?

Tanya Jakusconek: Yeah, too high. The other area I was a bit too high on was also iron ore. Just wondering on the Vale side, how should I be thinking about the H2? On Sudbury, on the PGM, how should I be thinking about that?

Speaker #3: Sure, Tanya. It's Matt Babing here. On the iron ore, I think that is impacted in part by our estimate on the shipping rates is probably the largest variance there.

Matt Bailey: Sure. Hi, Tanya. It is Matt Bailey here. On the iron ore, I think that is impacted in part by our estimate on the shipping rates. It is probably the largest variance there. I know that is also an accrual where we will get the true up later into September. But probably the largest variance there is our estimation to the read-through of the higher shipping rates caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure.

Speaker #3: I know that is also an accrual where we'll get the true up later in the September. But probably the largest variance there is our estimation to read through of the higher shipper rates caused by the straight and forward moves closure.

Speaker #5: Okay. Should I be thinking that we have a better second half, or how should I be thinking about that?

Tanya Jakusconek: Okay. Should I be thinking that we have a better H2, or how should I be thinking about that?

Speaker #3: Yeah, I think you'd probably be a bit more flat absent the change in the kind of maritime rates.

Matt Bailey: Yeah, I think it would probably be a bit more flat, absent the change in the maritime rates.

Speaker #5: Okay. And anything on the PGMs in Sudbury that had an impact?

Tanya Jakusconek: Okay. Anything on the PGMs in Sudbury that had an impact?

Speaker #1: No, we have the stream there with Magna Mining. They actually did quite well in terms of their production for the first half of the year. On the PGMs, it's just lower production from Stillwater and the Savannah assets.

Sandip Rana: No. We have the stream there with Magna Mining. They actually did quite well in terms of their production for the H1 of the year. On the PGMs, it is just lower production from Stillwater and the Sibanye assets than initially expected for the first part of this year.

Speaker #1: than initially expected for the first part of this year.

Speaker #5: Okay, thank you for that. And then, if I could come back just maybe to capital allocation before I come back to the transaction environment.

Tanya Jakusconek: Okay. Thank you for that. If I could come back just maybe to capital allocation before I come back to just the transaction environment. How should I be thinking, should IAMGOLD decide to purchase back half the Côté Gold NPI, it would be $500 million coming in for you guys. Would I be thinking as that as something you would allocate to the dividend if something like that was to occur?

Speaker #5: How should I be thinking about this? Should IAMGOLD decide to purchase that half of the Côté Gold NPI? It'd be $500 million coming in for you guys.

Speaker #5: Would I be thinking of that as something you would allocate to the dividend if something like that were to occur?

Speaker #1: Tanya, if they do do the buyback, obviously, that would be an influx of cash for us. As the teams highlighted, we're active on the deal pipeline front.

Sandip Rana: Tanya, if they do the buyback, obviously that would be an influx of cash for us. As the team has highlighted, we are active on the deal pipeline front. We have never been worried about having cash on the balance sheet, as we know this is a very capital-intensive industry and there is always a requirement for financing. If we did come to that conclusion, it would not be any sort of special dividend of that nature. It would just be looking at what is on our balance sheet in terms of cash and increasing the dividend at a higher percentage than we have in possibly previous years.

Speaker #1: We've never been worried about having cash on the balance sheet, as we know this is a very capital-intensive industry and there's always a requirement for financing.

Speaker #1: But if we did come to that conclusion, it wouldn't be any sort of special dividend of that nature. It would just be looking at what's on our balance sheet in terms of cash and increasing the dividend at a higher percentage than we have in possibly previous years.

Speaker #5: Okay. All right. Thank you for that. And then maybe just on the deal transaction, Ian, you were saying it's quite varied. And again, I always divide the deals into two categories as the precious metals deals and then there's the non-precious metals ones.

Tanya Jakusconek: Okay. All right. Thank you for that. Then maybe just on the deal transaction, Ian, you were saying it's quite varied. Again, I always divide the deals into two categories. There's the precious metals deals, then there's the non-precious metals one. Maybe you can talk a little bit about in the non-precious metal side. You had talked about deals in the USD 200 million to USD 500 million range. Has that changed at all from Q1, or has anything changed in that area?

Speaker #5: So maybe you can talk a little bit about sort of in the non-precious metals side, you had talked about value deals in the 200 to 500 million range.

Speaker #5: Has that changed at all from Q1 or is anything changed in that area?

Speaker #3: Yes, Tanya. Good question. I think that remains unchanged. It continues to be very active on the precious side. I would highlight for you that the magnitude of potential transactions does vary, as you've seen in the market.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): Yes, Tanya. Good question. I think that remains unchanged. It continues to be very active on the precious side. I would highlight for you the magnitude of potential transactions does vary. As you've seen in the market, some can be very large. We like to maintain optionality when we see it at relatively low cost, so we'll still do some of the smaller deals when we've got capacity. So pretty much steady as she goes.

Speaker #3: Some can be very large. We like to maintain optionality when we see it at relatively low cost. And so we'll still do some of the smaller deals when we've got capacity.

Speaker #3: So pretty much a steady issue goes.

Speaker #5: Okay. But in the non-precious metals, is that 200 to 500 still valid?

Tanya Jakusconek: Okay. But in the non-precious metals, is that USD 200 million to USD 500 million still valid?

Speaker #3: Yes.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): Yes.

Speaker #5: Okay, so that's that. And on the precious metals side, we had talked previously about these larger operators in the base metals side looking at streaming off gold and silver, maybe.

Tanya Jakusconek: Okay, so that. In the precious metal side, we had talked previously about these larger operators, in the base metal side, looking at streaming off gold and silver maybe. We had looked at mine builds. Anything change there from Q1?

Speaker #5: And we had looked at mine builds anything change there from Q1?

Speaker #3: Look, I think it's very mainstream. Any CFO now has to look very seriously at streaming and royalties as an option to finance, including at the very large companies.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): Look, I think it is very mainstream. Any CFO now has to look very seriously at streaming and royalties as an option to finance, including at the very large companies. Potential exists there, and we need liquidity to be able to execute on those appropriately. The key theme, however, that I see emerging, Tanya, as I mentioned earlier, is project finance. We are seeing good impetus for new mines to be built and our strategy, as you would have noticed, we have tilted towards backing teams to get projects built, and we are looking to do that big and small.

Speaker #3: So potential exists there. And we need liquidity to be able to execute on those appropriately. The key theme, however, that I see emerging, Tanya, as I mentioned earlier, is project finance.

Speaker #3: We're seeing good impetus for new mines to be built, and our strategy, as you would have noticed, has tilted towards backing teams to get projects built.

Speaker #3: And we're looking to do that big and small.

Speaker #5: And it's still the same thing, Ian, in terms of there's a string component plus an equity component and a debt component. Has anything else changed in the structure of these deals?

Tanya Jakusconek: And still the same thing, Ian, in terms of there is a stream component plus an equity component and a debt component. Has anything else changed in the structure of these deals?

Speaker #3: No, I think you precisely got it. What we're trying to do is where there's acute need for capital, provided it makes it smoother, provides the market confidence that the team's got the backing they need to get a project built.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): No, I think you precisely got it. What we are trying to do is where there is acute need for capital, provide it is smoother, provides the market confidence. The team has got the backing they need to get a project built. And so we will continue to work across the capital structure with the core, however, continuing to be royalties and streams.

Speaker #3: And so we'll continue to work across the capital structure with the core, however, continuing to be royalties and streams.

Speaker #5: Okay, well, good luck with that. Thank you so much for taking my questions.

Tanya Jakusconek: Well, good luck on that. Thank you so much for taking my questions.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Tanya.

[Company Representative] (Franco-Nevada): Thank you, Tanya.

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Brian MacArthur with Raymond James Financial. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: Your next question comes from Brian MacArthur with Raymond James Financial. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: Thank you, most. My question's been answered, but can I just ask on Karma whether there's any update? And secondly, if that doesn't work out, I assume the book value is pretty low.

Brian MacArthur: Thank you. Most of my question has been answered, but can I just ask on Karma whether there is any update? Secondly, if that does not work out, I assume the book value of that is pretty low.

Speaker #3: Hi, Brian. It's Lloyd. Lloyd Hong here. There's no real update. Since we put out our press release, we are continuing to pursue our remedies under the agreement, which is governed by Ontario law.

Lloyd Hong: Hi, Brian, it is Lloyd Hong here. There is no real update since we put out our press release. We are continuing to pursue our remedies under the agreement, which is governed by Ontario law. We do believe that the Burkinabè judgment is not valid and are continuing to seek to have that vacated. In terms of book value, we are not carrying any book value for that asset.

Speaker #3: We do believe that the Birkenau Bay judgment is not valid and are continuing to seek to have that vacated. In terms of book value, we have no we are not carrying any book value for that asset.

Speaker #1: Thank you. And maybe just one other question. This LOMI deal—is that totally separate from G Mining? And what are you actually trying to do with that, to the extent that you can talk about it?

Brian MacArthur: Thank you. Maybe just one other question. This Lomi deal, is that totally separate from G Mining, and what are you actually trying to do with that, to the extent that you can talk about it, and should I think about you doing more of these things?

Speaker #1: And should I think about you doing more of these things?

Speaker #3: Brian is tall. As you know, we've got a very strong relationship with the Virginiax back then in the build of Topazinho. The one of their next ventures here is with Tintina.

Paul Brink: Brian, it's Paul. As you know, we've got a very strong relationship with the Bugeniacs.

Brian MacArthur: Yeah.

Paul Brink: Backed them in the build of Tocantinzinho. One of their next ventures here is with Sandfire Resources America Inc. You would've seen that they have made an investment there. We also were included in that investment. It's a copper-gold property down in Chile. Their objective was that they could invest in that without having to liquidate any of their shares in the G Mining Ventures Corp. So we have backed them in doing that. I am sure they will be very successful, and we're hopeful that there will also be a stream opportunity on that asset in due course.

Speaker #3: You would have seen that they have made an investment there. We also were included in that investment. It's a copper-gold property down in Chile.

Speaker #3: Their objective was that they could invest in that without having to liquidate any of their shares in the Gman ventures. So we have backed them in doing that.

Speaker #3: I'm sure they will be very successful and we're hopeful that they will also be a stream opportunity on that asset in due course.

Speaker #1: Sorry, so having this follow-up, is that kind of my question. Do you by doing this at a first rate of refusal or an option on a stream or a royalty if they go forward, is that like you're kind of buying, I almost think of it as exploration dollars with a return and you're getting an option off that?

Brian MacArthur: Sorry. If I can just follow up, that was kind of my question. Do you, by doing this, get a first right of refusal or an option on a stream or a royalty if they go forward? Is that like you're buying, I almost think of it as exploration dollars with a return, and you're getting an option off that? Is that the way to think about it?

Speaker #1: Is that the way to think about it?

Paul Brink: There's no obligation there, Brian. We've got a very strong relationship, and we hope this helps build the relationship and that positions us well.

Speaker #3: There's no obligation there, Brian. We're just trying to we've got a very strong relationship and we hope this helps build the relationship and that positions us well.

Speaker #1: Great. Thanks very much. That's helpful.

Brian MacArthur: Great. Thanks very much. That's helpful.

Speaker #2: Thank you. There are no further questions on the phone line. I will now turn to Q&A session over to Banavi, who will take questions from the webcast.

Operator: Thank you. There are no further questions on the phone line. I will now turn the Q&A session over to Barnaby, who will take questions from the webcast.

Speaker #5: Thank you, Enis. There are no questions from the webcast. This concludes our second quarter 2026 conference call and webcast. We expect to release our Q3 2026 results after market close on November 10th.

Bonavie Tek: Thanks, Yanis. There are no questions from the webcast. This concludes our Q2 2026 conference call and webcast. We expect to release our Q3 2026 results after market close on 10 November, with the conference call held the following morning. Thank you for your interest in Franco-Nevada.

Speaker #5: The conference call was held the following morning. Thank you for your interest in Franco-Nevada.

Speaker #2: Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes your conference call for today. We thank you for participating and answer to please disconnect your lines. Have a great day.

Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes your conference call for today. We thank you for participating and ask that you please disconnect your lines. Have a great day.
