INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Franco-Nevada Corporation

We have completed an integrated audit of Franco-Nevada Corporation’s 2012 consolidated financial statements and its internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2012 and an audit of its 2011 consolidated financial statements. Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Report on the consolidated financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Franco-Nevada Corporation which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended and the related notes.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Canadian generally accepted auditing standards also require that we comply with ethical requirements.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence, on a test basis, about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles and policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franco-Nevada Corporation as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Report on internal control over financial reporting

We have also audited Franco-Nevada Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Management’s responsibility for internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Franco-Nevada Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our audit opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Definition of internal control over financial reporting

A company’s 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 generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s 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 the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent limitations

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 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 deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, Franco-Nevada Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

(ii) Investment in associates

Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control. The financial results of the Company’s investments in its associates are included in the Company’s results in accordance with the equity method. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company’s share of profits or losses of associates is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and its share of other comprehensive income (loss) of associates is included in the other comprehensive income account.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Dilution gains and losses arising from changes in interests in investments in associates are recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company assesses at each period-end whether there is any objective evidence that interests in associates are impaired. If impaired, the carrying value of the Company’s share of the underlying assets of associates is written down to its estimated recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use) and charged to the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(c) Business combinations

On the acquisition of a subsidiary, the acquisition method of accounting is used whereby the purchase consideration is allocated to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities (identifiable net assets) of the subsidiary on the basis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. provisional fair values allocated at a reporting date are finalized as soon as the relevant information is available, which period shall not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date and are adjusted to reflect the transaction as of the acquisition date.

The results of businesses acquired during the period are consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences at the date of acquisition and taken out of the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control ceases.

When all or part of the purchase consideration is contingent on future events, the cost of the acquisition initially recorded includes an estimate of the fair value of the contingent liability amounts expected to be payable in the future. The cost of acquisition is adjusted when revised estimates are made, with corresponding adjustments made to the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

When a subsidiary is acquired in a number of stages, the cost of each stage is compared with the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the date of that purchase. Any excess is treated as goodwill, and any discount is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss). If control is obtained or lost as a result of a transaction, the identifiable net assets are recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value and the difference between the fair value recognized and the carrying value as at the date of the transaction is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

When the cost of the acquisition exceeds the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recorded as goodwill. If the fair value attributable to the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets exceeds the cost of acquisition, the difference is recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Acquisition costs are expensed.

(d) Currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency for each entity within the Franco-Nevada group is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates.

These consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars, which is the functional currency of some of the subsidiaries. The parent Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The U.S. dollar is used as the presentation currency of the Company to ensure comparability with the Company’s peers. References herein to C$ are to Canadian dollars.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective subsidiary, using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the transaction (spot exchange rates). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and the re-measurement of monetary items and available-for-sale securities at the date of the consolidated balance sheet are recognized in net income. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

The results and financial position of the subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into U.S. dollars, the group’s presentation currency, as follows:

· assets and liabilities for each subsidiary are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of the balance sheet;

· income and expenses for each subsidiary are translated at the average exchange rates during the period; and

· all resulting exchange differences are charged/credited to the currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income (loss).

(e) Mineral, stream and oil & gas interests

Mineral, stream and oil & gas interests consist of acquired royalty and stream interests in producing, advanced/development and exploration stage properties. Mineral, stream and oil & gas interests are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets with finite lives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of mineral, stream and oil & gas interests was determined by reference to the cost model under IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. The major categories of the Company’s interests are producing, advanced and exploration.

Producing mineral and stream interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the life of the property to which the interest relates, which is estimated using available estimates of proven and probable reserves specifically associated with the mineral or stream properties. producing oil & gas interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the life of the property to which the interest relates, which is estimated using available estimated proved and probable reserves specifically associated with the oil & gas properties. Management relies on public disclosures for information on proven and probable reserves from the operators of the producing mineral and stream interests. For the oil & gas interests, management engages an independent petroleum consultant to prepare annual reserve reports.

On acquisition of a producing mineral or stream interest, an allocation of its fair value is attributed to the exploration potential of the interest. The estimated fair value of these acquired resources and exploration potential is recorded as an asset (non-depreciable interest) on the acquisition date. Updated reserve and resource information obtained from the operators of the mineral and stream properties is used to determine the amount to be converted from non-depreciable interest to depreciable interest.

Mineral, stream and oil & gas interests for advanced and exploration assets are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Acquisition costs of advanced and exploration stage mineral, stream and oil & gas interests are capitalized and are not depleted until such time as revenue-generating activities begin. The Company may receive advanced minimum payments prior to the commencement of production on some of its interests. In these circumstances, the Company would record depletion expense on a units-of-production method, as described above, up to a maximum of the total of the advanced minimum payment received.

(f) Working interests in oil & gas properties

Acquired oil & gas working interests are accounted for at cost and capitalized as tangible assets of developing or operating properties, or in accordance with IFRS 6 for exploration properties. For each oil & gas property on which the Company has a working interest, the Company bears its proportionate share of the gross costs of capital and operations based on information received from the operator. Such capital costs are capitalized to the respective asset.

Capitalized costs are depreciated when the asset is available for its intended use on a units-of-production basis, whereby the denominator is the estimated barrels of oil equivalent used in proved and probable reserves.

(g) Impairment of non-financial assets

Mineral, stream, oil & gas and working interests are reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is assessed at the level of cash-generating units (“CGUs”) which, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. This is usually at the individual royalty, stream, oil & gas or working interest level for each property from which cash inflows are generated.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The future cash flow expected is derived using estimates of proven and probable reserves and information regarding the mineral, stream and oil & gas properties, respectively, that could affect the future recoverability of the Company’s interests. Discount factors are determined individually for each asset and reflect their respective risk profiles. Impairment losses first reduce the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to that CGU. Any remaining impairment loss is charged to the mineral, stream or oil & gas interest or working interest. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the asset’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

(h) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Company’s statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, investments, trade payables and accrued liabilities. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value.

(ii) Receivables

Receivables are classified as loans and receivables and are initially recorded at fair value of the amount expected to be received and subsequently measured at amortized cost less any provision for impairment.

Individual receivables are considered for recoverability when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default. Impairments for receivables are presented in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(iii) Investments

Investments comprise equity interests in publicly-traded and privately-held entities and marketable securities with original maturities at the date of the purchase of more than three months.

Available-for-sale investments are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss), except for impairment losses, which are recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). When an available-for-sale investment is sold or impaired, the accumulated gains or losses are reversed from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Available-for-sale investments in instruments denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are measured at fair value with any changes from foreign exchange fluctuations being recognized in net income.

Derivative investments, such as warrants, are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized directly in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Where the Company holds an investment in a privately-held entity for which there is no active market and for which there is no reliable estimate of fair value, the investment is recorded at cost.

(iv) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

(v) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Financial assets are considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that a change in the market, economic or legal environment in which the Company invested has had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. For equity securities, a significant or prolonged decline in fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets may be impaired. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale investment is calculated by reference to its fair value.

Impairment losses are recognized in net income. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, any reversal of impairment is recognized in net income. Impairment losses booked on debt instruments classified as available-for-sale are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases. For equity instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets, impairment losses are not reversed.

(i) Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises revenue earned in the period from royalty, stream and working interests and dividend income. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable when management can reliably estimate the amount, pursuant to the terms of the royalty, stream and/or working interest agreements. In some instances, the Company will not have access to sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of revenue and, accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until management can make a reasonable estimate. Differences between estimates and actual amounts are adjusted and recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known.

Under the terms of certain revenue stream agreements and concentrate sales contracts with independent smelting companies, sales prices are provisionally set on a specified future date after shipment based on market prices. Revenue is recorded under these contracts at the time of shipment, which is also when the risk and rewards of ownership pass to the smelting companies, using forward commodity prices on the expected date that final sales prices will be fixed. Variations between the price recorded at the shipment date and the actual final price set under the smelting contracts are caused by changes in market commodity prices, and result in an embedded derivative in the receivable. The embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each period until final settlement occurs, with changes in fair value classified as provisional price adjustments and included as a component of revenue.

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established, which is normally when the dividends are declared.

(j) Gold bullion sales

Gold bullion is sold primarily in the spot market. The sales price is fixed at the delivery date based on the gold spot price. Generally, we record revenue from gold bullion sales at the time of physical delivery, which is also the date that title to the gold passes to the purchaser.

(k) Oil & gas sales

Revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids is recorded at the time it enters the pipeline system, which is also when risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. At the time of delivery of oil & gas, revenues are determined based upon contracts by reference to monthly market commodity prices plus certain price adjustments. Price adjustments include product quality and transportation adjustments and market differentials.

(l) Costs of sales

Costs of sales includes various mineral and oil & gas production taxes that are recognized with the related revenues and the Company’s share of the gross costs for the working interests in the oil & gas properties.

For stream agreements, the Company purchases gold for a cash payment of the lesser of $400 per ounce, subject to annual inflationary adjustments, and the prevailing market price per ounce of gold when purchased.

(m) Income taxes

The income tax expense or recovery represents the sum of current and deferred income taxes.

Current income tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the consolidated statement of income (loss) because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated by using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply to the period when the deferred tax asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the consolidated statement of income (loss), except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also accounted for within equity.

(n) Share capital

Common shares are recorded in equity net of expenses of the share issue.

(o) Stock options

The Company may issue equity-settled share-based payments to directors, officers, employees and consultants under the terms of its share compensation plan. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the date of grant of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the expected vesting period with a corresponding entry to contributed surplus and is based on the Company’s estimate of shares that will ultimately vest.

Fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effect of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. Expected volatility is estimated by considering historic average share price volatility. Any consideration paid or received upon the exercise of the stock options or purchase of shares is credited to share capital.

New Standards and Interpretations

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and contained requirements for financial assets. This standard addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces the multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39 for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments, and such instruments are either recognized at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). Where such equity instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss), dividends are recognized in profit or loss to the extent not clearly representing a return of investment; however, other gains and losses (including impairments) associated with such instruments remain in accumulated other comprehensive income indefinitely.

This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9 on our consolidated financial statements, including the impact of early adoption.

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements to replace IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. The new consolidation standard changes the definition of control so that the same criteria apply to all entities, both operating and special purpose entities, to determine control. The revised definition focuses on the need to have both power and variable returns before control is present. IFRS 10 must be applied starting January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 10 on our consolidated financial statements but do not expect significant adjustments from adopting IFRS 10.

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements to replace IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. The new standard defines two types of arrangements: Joint Operations and Joint Ventures. Focus is on the rights and obligations of the parties involved to reflect the joint arrangement, thereby requiring parties to recognize the individual assets and liabilities to which they have rights or for which they are responsible, even if the joint arrangement operates in a separate legal entity. IFRS 11 must be applied starting January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. We are currently finalizing our assessment of the impact of adopting IFRS 11 on our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities to create a comprehensive disclosure standard to address the requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, and associates including the reporting entity’s involvement with other entities. It also includes the requirements for unconsolidated structured entities (i.e. special purpose entities). IFRS 12 must be applied starting January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. We are currently finalizing our assessment of the impact of adopting IFRS 12 on our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement as a single source guidance for all fair value measurements required by IFRS to reduce the complexity and improve consistency across its application. The standard provides a definition of fair value and guidance on how to measure fair value as well as a requirement for enhanced disclosures. Enhanced disclosures about fair value are required to enable financial statement users to understand how the fair values were derived. IFRS 13 must be applied starting January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. We are currently finalizing our assessment of the impact of adopting IFRS 13 on our consolidated financial statements.

IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

In May 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures as a consequence of the issuance of IFRS 11. In addition to prescribing the accounting for investments in associates, it now includes joint ventures that are to be accounted for by the equity method. We do not anticipate the amendments to IAS 28 will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions

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 management’s 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.

In particular, the areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values are:

Proven and Probable Reserves

Determination of proven and probable reserves by the operators associated with the Company’s royalty, stream and working interests impact the measurement of the respective assets. The use of estimated reserve and resource prices and operators’ estimates of proven and probable reserves, production costs (including capital, operating and reclamation costs) related to the Company’s royalty and stream interests are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These estimates affect depletion of the Company’s royalty, stream and working interests and the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying value of royalty, stream and working interests.

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

Assessment of impairment of royalty, stream and working interests requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates when assessing whether there are any indicators that could give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test on the Company’s royalty, stream and/or working interests. The assessment of fair values requires the use of estimates and assumptions for recoverable production, long-term commodity prices, discount rates, reserve/resource conversion, net asset value (“NAV”) multiples, foreign exchange rates, future capital expansion plans and the associated production implications. Changes in any of the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of the royalty, stream or working interests could impact the impairment analysis.

Purchase Price Allocation

Applying the acquisition method to business combinations requires each identifiable asset and liability to be measured at its acquisition-date fair value. The excess, if any, of the fair value of consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The determination of the acquisition-date fair values often requires management to make assumptions and estimates about future events. The assumptions and estimates with respect to determining the fair value of royalty, stream or working interests generally requires a high degree of judgment, and include estimates of mineral reserves acquired, future metal prices, discount rates and reserve/resource conversion. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities could impact the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the deferred tax benefit related to deferred income and resource tax assets to the extent recovery is probable. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires management to make significant estimates of future taxable profit. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable profit differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the statement of financial position date could be impacted. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods from deferred income and resource tax assets. The Company holds royalty, stream and working interests in a number of global jurisdictions and is subject to the various tax regimes in place in these jurisdictions. As such, the Company is required to assess and estimate the appropriate accounting for current and

deferred income taxes that the Company is exposed to.

Functional Currency

The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

i) Edikan Royalty

On June 30, 2011, the Company acquired an effective 1.5% NSR royalty on all production from the Ayanfuri concession in Ghana for $35.0 million in cash.

All of the above mentioned acquisitions have been accounted for as asset acquisitions under IFRS.

j) Gold Wheaton Gold Corp.

On March 14, 2011, the Company and Gold Wheaton completed a plan of arrangement pursuant to which Franco-Nevada acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gold Wheaton that it did not already own and Gold Wheaton amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company issued 11,654,127 common shares and paid C$259.5 million in cash to shareholders of Gold Wheaton upon closing. In addition, the Company reserved for issuance an additional 6,857,448 common shares for the exercise of outstanding Gold Wheaton warrants and stock options.

On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired 10% secured notes of Gold Wheaton (the “Senior Secured Notes”) from third parties with an aggregate face value of C$100 million. The Senior Secured Notes were purchased for C$110 million plus accrued interest. The purchase price was equal to the price at which the holder of the note has the right to call the notes in the event of a change of control of Gold Wheaton. Notes with a face value of C$7 million remained outstanding to third parties following the closing of the acquisition of Gold Wheaton and were repaid on March 20, 2011.

The Gold Wheaton acquisition was accounted for as a business combination with the final estimate of fair value as follows:

Short-term investments

These investments have been designated as available-for-sale and, as a result, have been recorded at fair value.

Non-current investments

These investments comprise equity interests in various public and non-public entities which the Company acquired through the open market, as part of its initial public offering or through the transactions involving Gold Wheaton and Lumina (See Note 4 - Acquisitions above), warrants in various publicly-listed companies and convertible debentures. Equity investments have been designated as available-for-sale and, as a result, have been recorded at fair value, other than one equity investment, a non-public entity, which is recorded at cost as no reliable estimate of fair value can be determined.

As at December 31, 2012, the market value of certain of these investments increased compared to their values at December 31, 2011 and the Company recorded a net unrealized gain of $16.1 million (2011 - loss of $7.7 million), net of an income tax expense of $2.6 million, (2011 - income tax recovery of $1.4 million) in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (loss).

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the fair value of certain of its investments experienced a decline in value which management assessed to be significant or prolonged and, as a result, a write-down of $8.6 million (2011 - $17.5 million) has been included in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale or derivatives. The unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments recognized in other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

a) Mineral Streams and Royalties

Palmarejo Stream

The Company owns a 50% gold stream in the Palmarejo silver and gold project (the “Palmarejo Project”) located in Mexico operated by Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (“Coeur”). The stream covers 50% of the life-of-mine gold production from the Palmarejo Project and includes a monthly minimum of 4,167 ounces until an aggregate of 400,000 ounces has been delivered under the stream agreement. The Company pays Coeur the lesser of $400 per ounce, subject to an annual 1% inflation adjustment commencing in January 2013, and the prevailing spot price, for each ounce of gold delivered under the stream agreement. As at December 31, 2012, the Company has received 206,815 ounces of gold from the Palmarejo Project.

Goldstrike Complex

The Company owns numerous royalties covering portions of the Goldstrike complex (the “Goldstrike Complex”) located in Nevada. The Goldstrike Complex is comprised of: (i) the Betze-Post open-pit mine; and (ii) the Meikle and Rodeo underground mines. Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) is the operator of each of these mines. The royalties within the Goldstrike Complex are made up of NSR royalties ranging from 2.0% to 4.0% and net profits interest (“NPI”) royalties ranging from 2.4% to 6.0%.

The NSR royalties are based upon gross production from the mine, reduced only by the ancillary costs of smelting, refining and transportation. The NPI royalties are calculated as cumulative proceeds less cumulative costs, where proceeds equal the number of ounces of gold produced from the royalty burdened claims multiplied by the spot price on the date gold is credited to Barrick’s account at the refinery, and costs include operating and capital costs.

Stillwater Complex

The Company owns a 5% NSR royalty covering the majority of the Stillwater mine and the entire East Boulder mine (collectively known as the “Stillwater Complex”) in Montana. The NSR is payable on all commercially recoverable metals produced from a substantial number of claims that cover the Stillwater Complex. The amount of the NSR royalty is reduced by permissible deductions and is calculated and payable monthly. The Stillwater Complex is operated by Stillwater Mining Company.

Gold Quarry

The Company owns a 7.29% NSR royalty interest on the Gold Quarry royalty property (the “Gold Quarry Royalty Property”). The royalty is payable on the greater of a 7.29% NSR based on production or a minimum annual royalty payment obligation tied to reserves and stockpiles. The Gold Quarry Royalty Property covers a portion of the Gold Quarry operation which is an integrated part of Newmont Mining Corporation’s Carlin Trend Complex.

As part of the Gold Wheaton acquisition (see Note 4(j)), the Company acquired the following five stream interests:

Sudbury Basin (comprised of three stream interests)

The Company acquired an agreement to purchase 50% of the gold equivalent ounces of the gold, platinum and palladium contained in ore mined and shipped from the KGHM International operations in Sudbury, Ontario. The Company will pay for each gold equivalent ounce delivered, a cash payment of the lesser of $400 per ounce (subject to a 1% annual inflationary adjustment starting in July 2011) or the then prevailing market price per ounce of gold.

Mine Waste Solutions

The Company acquired an agreement to purchase 25% of the life-of-mine gold production from Mine Waste Solutions tailings recovery operation (“MWS”) in South Africa. The Company will pay an ongoing payment equal to the lesser of $400 per ounce and the prevailing spot price (subject to an annual inflation adjustment starting in 2012). In July 2012, MWS was acquired by AngloGold Ashanti Limited.

Ezulwini Mining Company

The Company acquired an agreement to purchase the greater of 19,500 ounces of gold in 2011 and 7% of the gold production and thereafter 7% of the life-of-mine gold production from the Ezulwini (Cooke 4) mine in South Africa. The Company will pay an ongoing payment equal to the lesser of $400 per ounce and the prevailing spot price (subject to an annual inflation adjustment starting in 2013). Ezulwini (Cooke 4) was sold to Gold One International in August 2012.

The Company acquired the following assets during the year ended December 31, 2012 which were accounted for as asset acquisitions:

· Weyburn NRI (See Note 4(a) for description);

· Cobre Panama Stream - (See Note 4(b) for description);

· Timmins West NSR - (See Note 4(c) for description); and

· Weyburn Unit Working Interest - (See Note 4(d) for description).

b) Oil & Gas Royalties and Working Interests

Weyburn

The Weyburn unit is located in Saskatchewan, Canada and is operated by Cenovus energy Inc. The Company holds a 11.71% NRI, a 0.44% royalty interest and a 2.26% working interest in the Weyburn Unit. The Company takes product-in-kind for the working interest and NRI portions of this production and markets it through a third-party.

Edson

The Edson Property is located in Alberta, Canada. The Company has a 15% overriding royalty in this property. The wells are operated by Canadian natural Resources Ltd.

Midale

The Company holds a 1.59% working interest and a 1.14% royalty interest in the Midale Unit. The Company takes product-in-kind for the working interest portion of this production and markets it through a third party.

c) Impairments

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges of $74.1 million on its exploration assets comprising Arctic Gas (2011 - $151.2 million on various assets). The Company’s Arctic Gas assets comprise natural gas contingent resources in the Drake Point, Hecla, King Christian and Roche Point gas fields located on and offshore of Melville Island. Contingent resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from accumulations using established technology, or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters, or a lack of markets. The largest working interest holder in the Drake Point, Hecla, King Christian and Roche Point gas fields is Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor”). The Arctic Gas assets were acquired by the Company as part of its December 2007 initial public offering transaction and the value assigned to Arctic Gas was based on metrics from a comparable transaction completed in 2006.

In 2012, the Company engaged an independent oil & gas reserve evaluator to provide an evaluation of the Arctic Gas assets as at December 31, 2012. The impairment charge was a result of changes in production assumptions, natural gas prices and amount of contingent resources used in the evaluation of Arctic Gas and resulted in a reduction in the carrying value of $74.1 million as at December 31, 2012.

Key assumptions and sensitivity

The key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount for the Arctic Gas assets are long-term natural gas prices and discount rates. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions as disclosed below. No reasonable change in the other key assumptions would have a significant impact on the recoverable amount of the Arctic Gas assets. Management determined these estimates using the fair value less cost to sell approach which is deemed greater than the assets’ value in use.

The table below shows the impairment amounts when certain key assumptions are changed, in isolation, by 10% for long-term natural gas prices or 5% to the discount rate.

Key assumptions	Arctic Gas
Impairment recorded in statement of income (loss)	$	74.1
Impairment recorded if, in isolation, a 10% change in long-term natural gas prices or 5% change to the discount rate:
Long-term natural gas prices(a) increase by 10%	66.5
Long-term natural gas prices(a) decrease by 10%	77.4
Discount rate(b) increased to 10%	77.4
Discount rate(b) decreased to 10%	42.6

(a) Natural gas prices

Projected future revenue reflects the Company’s estimates of future natural gas prices, which are determined based on current prices, forward prices and forecasts of future prices prepared by industry analysts. These estimates often differ from current price levels, but the methodology used is consistent with how a market participant would assess future long-term metals prices.

For 2012, the impairment analysis used a long-term natural gas price of C$3.60/Mcf.

(b) Discount rates

For 2012, the impairment analysis used a 15% discount rate for Arctic Gas taking into account market view for evaluating oil & gas assets and the risk associated with the Arctic Gas assets.

Note 8 - Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are comprised of the following:

	2012		2011
Accounts payable	$	6.2	$	7.3
Accrued liabilities	37.8		28.6
Total	$	44.0	$	35.9

Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements

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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2012 include:

	Quoted Prices		Significant
	in Active		Other		Significant
	Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
	Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs		Aggregate
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Fair Value

	$	44.0	$	44.0	$	35.9	$	35.9

(1) Fair value approximates the carrying amounts due to the short-term nature and historically negligible credit losses.

(2) Investments exclude $34.5 million (2011 - $30.3 million) of investments which are recorded at cost. Investments that have a quoted market price are carried at fair value.

The valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value are as follows:

a) Cash and cash equivalents

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Our cash equivalents are comprised of Canadian and U.S. denominated treasury bills, interest-bearing cash deposits, and highly-liquid government and corporate bonds.

b) Short-term investments

The fair value of government and corporate bonds and treasury bills is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets and is classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

c) Investments

The fair value of investments is determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of each particular security at the statement of financial position date. The closing prices are a quoted market price 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.

Note 10 - Financial Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of financial assets and liabilities. our principal financial liabilities comprise accounts payable and accrued liabilities. our principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables and investments. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to manage short-term cash flow and working capital requirements and fund future acquisitions.

The Company is engaged in the business of acquiring, managing and creating resource royalties and streams. Royalties and streams are interests that provide the right to revenue or production from the various properties, after deducting specified costs, if any. These activities expose the Company to a variety of financial risks, which include direct exposure to market risks (which includes commodity price risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk management.

Management designs strategies for managing some of these risks, which are summarized below. Our executive management oversees the management of financial risks. our executive management ensures that our financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk appetite.

The Company’s overall objective from a risk management perspective is to safeguard its assets and mitigate risk exposure by focusing on security rather than yield.

a) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market factors, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates or interest rates, will affect the value of the Company’s financial instruments. The Company manages market risk by either accepting it or mitigating it through the use of economic strategies.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company’s royalties/streams are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of gold, platinum, palladium and oil are the primary drivers of the Company’s profitability and ability to generate free cash flow. All of our future revenue is un-hedged in order to provide our shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The functional currencies of the Company’s entities include the Canadian, U.S. and Australian dollars with the reporting currency of the Company being the U.S. dollar. The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar on balances and transactions that are denominated in Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos and Australian dollars. The Company has exposure to the Canadian dollar through its equity offering proceeds, oil & gas activities and corporate administration. Consequently, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate against these currencies increase the volatility of depletion, corporate administration costs and overall net earnings, when translated into U.S. dollars.

The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in U.S. and Canadian dollar denominated treasury bills and corporate bonds on a ratio of 68% to 29% and 3% in other currencies as at December 31, 2012. This serves to somewhat reduce the economic exposure to currency fluctuations on a consolidated basis.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the U.S. dollar weakened in relation to the Canadian dollar and upon the translation of the Company’s assets and liabilities held in Canada, the Company recorded a currency translation adjustment gain of $23.1 million in other comprehensive income (loss) (2011 - loss of $5.6 million).

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Currently, the Company’s interest rate exposure arises mainly from the interest receipts on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. using the interest rates for the currently-owned portfolio of short-term investments, should the Company’s cash balances continue to be invested in the same investments in which those proceeds are currently invested, the Company would realize interest income after tax of approximately $3.3 million per year. Assuming a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates, net income would change by approximately $2.8 million per year (assuming the Company’s cash balances continue to be invested in the same investments as currently exist).

As at December 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility (See Note 11 - Revolving Term Credit Facility).

b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and receivables. The Company closely monitors its financial assets and maintains its cash deposits in several high-quality financial institutions and as such does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. In addition, the Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments are invested in fully guaranteed deposits or instruments insured by the United States or Canadian governments, such as treasury bills, and/or corporate bonds with the highest rating categories from either Moody’s or Standard & poors.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company is unaware of any information which would cause it to believe that these financial assets are not fully recoverable.

Liquidity Risk

liquidity risk is the risk of loss from not having access to sufficient funds to meet both expected and unexpected cash demands. The Company manages its exposure to liquidity risk through prudent management of its financial position, including maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to undrawn credit facilities. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. Management continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, including acquisition activities.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company held $779.9 million in either cash, cash equivalents and/or highly-liquid investments (December 31, 2011 - $810.8 million). All of the Company’s financial liabilities are due within one year. The Company’s near-term cash requirements include corporate administration costs, certain costs of operations, including the ore purchase commitments described in Note 17(a), declared dividends and income taxes directly related to the recognition of royalty, stream and working interest revenues. In addition, the Company is committed to fund under its precious metals stream agreement on the Cobre Panama project as described in Note 4(b).

c) Capital Risk Management

The Company’s primary objective when managing capital is to provide a sustainable return to shareholders through managing and growing the Company’s resource asset portfolio while ensuring capital protection. The Company’s asset portfolio provides an opportunity to capture value without the typical capital and operating costs associated with a natural resource operation, and without direct exposure to many of the risks faced by resource operators. Maintaining and managing a diversified, high-margin asset portfolio with low overheads provides the free cash flow required to fuel organic growth. The Company defines capital as its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments which is managed by the Company’s management subject to approved policies and limits by the Board of Directors.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year. The Company is not subject to material externally imposed capital requirements.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company has cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale short-term investments totaling $779.9 million (December 31, 2011 - $810.8 million), available-for-sale long-term investments totaling $108.4 million (December 31, 2011 - $74.4 million), of which $73.9 million (December 31, 2011 - $44.1 million) are held in liquid securities, together with an unused $175.0 million revolving term credit facility (See Note 20-Subsequent Event), all of which were available for growing the asset portfolio and paying dividends.

Note 11- Revolving Term Credit Facility

Throughout 2012, the Company had an unsecured $175 million revolving term credit facility (the “$175 million Credit Facility”) which provided for the availability over a three-year period for up to $175.0 million, or the Canadian dollar equivalent, in borrowings. On January 23, 2013, the Company replaced the $175 million Credit Facility with a new $500 million Credit Facility. (See Note 20 - Subsequent Event).

Advances under the $175 million Credit Facility could be drawn as follows:

U.S. dollars

· Base rate advances with interest payable monthly at the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) base rate, plus between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio; or

· LIBOR loans for periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months with interest payable at a rate of LIBOR, plus between 1.50% and 2.50% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Canadian dollars

· Prime rate advances with interest payable monthly at the BMO prime rate, plus between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio; or

· Bankers’ acceptances for a period of 30 to 180 days with a stamping fee calculated on the face amount between 1.50% and 2.50%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

All loans were readily convertible into loans of other types, described above, on customary terms and upon provision of appropriate notice. Borrowings under the $175 million Credit Facility were guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and were unsecured.

The $175 million Credit Facility was subject to a standby fee of 0.30% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, even if no amounts were outstanding under the facility.

As at December 31, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the $175 million Credit Facility and the prime and base rates in effect were 3.50% and 4.25%, respectively.

For the period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized debt issuance cost amortization expense of $0.5 million (2011 - $0.4 million) and $0.6 million (2011 - $1.0 million) of standby and administrative fees. In 2011, the Company expensed $0.9 million related to debt issuance costs of an old facility.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets and liabilities

The aggregate amount of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized as at December 31, 2012 is $205.5 (2011 - Nil). No deferred tax asset is recognized on the temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries because the Company controls the timing of reversal and it is not probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future.

The aggregate amount of deductible temporary differences associated with other items, for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized as at December 31, 2012 is $0.6 million (2011 - $1.1 million). No deferred tax asset is recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Company can utilize the benefit.

Note 16 - Shareholders’ Equity

a) Common Shares

The Company’s authorized capital stock includes an unlimited number of common shares (issued 146,730,310 common shares) having no par value and preferred shares issuable in series (issued nil).

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 8,366,618 common shares upon the exercise of warrants and stock options and the vesting of restricted share units for proceeds of $257.9 million.

b) Dividends

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company declared dividends in the amount of $87.3 million, or $0.60 per share, and $57.2 million, or $0.44 per share, respectively. The Company paid dividends in the amount of $77.9 million, or $0.54 per share, and $49.2 million, or $0.32 per share, in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012, included in accounts payable is an amount of $26.4 million related to declared dividends (2011 - $16.6 million).

c) Stock-based payments

On November 12, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan, which was replaced by the Company’s share compensation plan covering both stock options and RSUs effective May 12, 2010 (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The exercise price and vesting period of any option is fixed by the Board of Directors on the date of grant. The term of options is at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors but may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. Options expire on the earlier of the expiry date or the date of termination. Options are non-transferable. The options granted will be adjusted in the event of an amalgamation, rights offering, share consolidation or subdivision or other similar adjustments of the share capital of the Company. The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued under the Plan is limited to 5,700,876 common shares. Within any one-year period, the number of common shares issued to any single insider participant under the Plan shall not exceed 5% of the common shares then issued and outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company granted 298,396 stock options (2011 - 40,000) to employees at exercise prices ranging between C$42.43 and C$57.57 (2011 - C$42.48 and C$42.67). These ten-year term options vest over three years in equal portions on the anniversary of the grant date.

The fair value of stock options granted during 2012 has been determined to be $4.1 million (2011 - $0.3 million). The fair value of the options was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and utilized the following weighted average assumptions:

	2012		2011
Risk-free interest rate	1.18	%	0.93	%
Expected dividend yield	1.09	%	1.11	%
Expected price volatility of the Company’s common shares	33.32	%	29.66	%
Expected life of the option	3.77 years		2.0 years
Forfeiture rate	0	%	0	%

and resulted in a weighted average fair value of C$13.63 per stock option (2011 - C$6.82 per stock option).

Option pricing models require the input of highly objective assumptions, including expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, option pricing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of our stock options.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, an expense of $1.3 million (2011 - $3.1 million) related to vested stock options has been included in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). As at December 31, 2012, there is $4.2 million (2011 - $1.8 million) of total unrecognized non-cash stock-based compensation expense relating to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years (2011 - 1.3 years).

Options to purchase common shares of the Company that have been granted in accordance with the Plan and pursuant to other agreements are as follows:

	2012				2011
	Number		Weighted average exercise price		Number		Weighted average exercise price
Stock options outstanding, beginning of the year	2,802,400		C$	20.75	2,768,462		C$	18.59
Gold Wheaton stock options	—		—		730,698		C$	24.48

d) Share Purchase Warrants

Outstanding share purchase warrants as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	2012		2011
Warrants outstanding, beginning of the year	12,227,518		11,499,999
Issued	—		760,769
Exercised	(5,547,412	)	(33,250	)
Expired	(169,337	)	—
Warrants outstanding, end of the year	6,510,769		12,227,518

6,510,769 warrants have a C$75.00 per warrant exercise price and expire on June 16, 2017 (“2017 Warrants”). 2017 Warrants totalling 760,769 were granted during the year ended December 31, 2011 pursuant to the acquisition of Lumina as described in Note 4(f) - Acquisitions above.

e) Deferred Share Unit Plan

Under the DSU Plan, non-executive directors may choose to convert all or a percentage of their directors’ fees into DSUs. The directors must elect to convert their fees prior to January 1 in each year. In addition, the Company may award DSUs to non-executive directors as compensation.

DSUs earn dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs at the same rate as dividends on common shares. participants are not allowed to redeem their DSUs until retirement or termination of directorship. For DSUs that have been credited upon the conversion of directors’ fees, the DSUs vest immediately. The cash value of the DSUs at the time of redemption is equivalent to the market value of the Company’s common shares when redemption takes place.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, 4,316 DSUs were credited to directors under the DSU Plan (2011 - 4,609 DSUs) in connection with the conversion of directors’ fees. The value of the DSU liability as at December 31, 2012, was $1.4 million (2011 - $0.7 million). The mark-to-market adjustment recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012, in respect of the DSU Plan, was $0.4 million (2011 - $0.1 million).

f) Restricted Share Units

Under the Plan, employees and officers may be granted performance-based or time-based RSUs. When each RSU vests, the holder is entitled to one common share for no additional consideration. Performance-based RSUs vest at the end of a three year period following the achievement of certain performance criteria and target settlement will range from 0% to 100% of the value. Time-based RSUs vest over a three year period on the anniversary of the date of grant.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, 20,262 performance-based RSUs (2011 - 22,393) and 15,448 time-based RSUs (2011 -20,980) were awarded to management of the Company. The fair value of the RSUs granted during 2012 has been determined to be $2.0 million (2011 - $1.8 million). The fair value of the RSUs was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and utilized the following weighted average assumptions; risk-free rate of 1.22% (2011 - 1.05%), volatility of 29.05% (2011 - 33.97%), dividend yield of 0.0% (2011 - 0.0%) and 3 year expected life (2011 - 3.0 years). Included in the Company’s stock-based compensation expense is an amount of $1.6 million (2011 - $1.4 million) relating to these RSUs. As at December 31, 2012, there is $3.0 million (2011 - $2.5 million) of total unrecognized non-cash stock-based compensation expense relating to non-vested restricted share units granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years (2011 - 1.6 years).

Gold Wheaton Stock Options and Warrants

In connection with the acquisition of Gold Wheaton (See Note 4(j)), the Company reserved for issuance 730,698 common shares in connection with options that were outstanding upon closing, with exercise prices ranging between C$2.50 to C$6.00 for 0.1556 of a Franco-Nevada common share. As at December 31, 2012, 233,713 common shares remain reserved for issuance. In addition, the Company reserved for issuance 6,126,750 common shares in connection with warrants that were outstanding upon closing. 25,999,998 warrants (4,045,600 equivalent Franco-Nevada common shares) have an expiry date of July 8, 2013 and an exercise price of C$10.00 and 875,000 warrants (136,150 equivalent Franco-Nevada common shares) have an expiry date of May 26, 2014 and an exercise price of C$5.00.

May 25, 2014	C$	5.00	875,000	C$	32.13	136,150

Note 17 - Earnings per Share (“EPS”)

	2012
	Earnings		Shares	Per Share
	(Numerator)		(Denominator)	Amount
Basic EPS	$	102.6	143.1	$	0.72
Effect of dilutive securities	—		1.2	(0.01		)
Diluted EPS	$	102.6	144.3	$	0.71

Excluded from the computation of 2012 diluted EPS were 65,351 RSUs and 10,556,369 warrants due to the performance criteria for the vesting of the RSUs having not been measurable prior to December 31, 2012 and the exercise prices for the warrants being greater than the weighted average price of common shares for the year ended December 31, 2012.

	2011
	Earnings			Shares	Per Share
	(Numerator)			(Denominator)	Amount
Basic and Diluted EPS	$	(6.8	)	125.4	$	(0.05	)

The effect of stock options and warrants is not included in computing the diluted per share amounts for the year ended December 31, 2011 since, in the context of reported loss for the year, such effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 18 - Commitments

(a) Ore purchase commitments

As part of the acquisition of Gold Wheaton, the Company assumed certain ore purchase commitments which are described in Note 7(a). In addition, the Company is committed to purchase 50% of the gold produced from the Palmarejo project as described in Note 7(a).

(b) Cobre Panama Gold Stream

Pursuant to a purchase and sale dated August 20, 2012, the Company is committed to fund up to a $1.0 billion deposit, under certain conditions, for the development of Inmet Mining Corporation’s (“Inmet”) Cobre Panama copper deposit located in Panama (“Cobre Panama’). In exchange for the funding, the Company will acquire a precious metals stream that is indexed to the copper in concentrate produced from Cobre Panama over the life of the mine. The Company’s $1.0 billion deposit will become available after Inmet’s aggregate funding of Cobre Panama since May 18, 2012 exceeds $1.0 billion. Under certain funding conditions, the funding of the Company’s $1.0 billion deposit will be pro-rata on a 1:3 ratio with Inmet’s subsequent funding contributions. The Company will pay an amount for each ounce of precious metals delivered under the stream equal to $400 per ounce for gold and $6.00 per ounce for silver, subject to an annual adjustment for inflation, for the first 1,341,000 ounces of gold and 21,510,000 ounces of silver and thereafter the greater of $400 per ounce for gold and $6.00 per ounce for silver and one half of the then-prevailing market price for the respective commodity.

(c) New Prosperity Gold Stream

Pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated May 12, 2010, the Company committed to fund a $350.0 million deposit and acquire 22% of the gold produced pursuant to a gold stream agreement with Taseko Mines Limited (“Taseko”) on Taseko’s Prosperity copper-gold project located in British Columbia. Franco-Nevada will provide the $350.0 million deposit for the construction of Prosperity advanced pro-rata with other financing for the project once the project is fully permitted and financed, and has granted Taseko one special warrant. Franco-Nevada’s financing commitment remained available to Taseko provided the project was fully permitted and financed prior to May 12, 2012 although this option continues unless it is terminated by Franco-Nevada. The Company has not terminated this option. Once the project is fully permitted and financed, the special warrant will be exchangeable, without any additional consideration, into two million purchase share warrants. Each purchase share warrant will entitle Taseko to purchase one Franco-Nevada common share at a price of $75.00 at any time before June 16, 2017. In addition, Franco-Nevada will pay Taseko the lower of $400 per ounce (subject to an inflation adjustment) or the prevailing market price for each ounce of gold delivered under the agreement.
