The venture was established to acquire royalty rights in areas primarily within acreage operated by Continental. These areas offer excellent economics, proximity to infrastructure and future upside via stacked hydrocarbon- bearing horizons. As at December 31, 2021, Franco-Nevada had contributed $428.4 million to the venture, with a remaining commitment of approximately $91.6 million. Continental’s drilling activity remained stable for much of 2021 although increased towards the end of the year. The expectation is that volumes will continue to grow with increased drilling activity as energy prices increase.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, Franco-Nevada purchased royalty rights in the STACK shale play in Oklahoma’s Anadarko basin for approximately $100 million. The current focus is on the Meramec formation, although the royalties have exposure to multiple horizons at depth, including the Woodford and Osage formations. In the second quarter of 2017, Franco-Nevada acquired additional mineral title and royalty interests for $27.6 million, which added to its existing position in the STACK and provided new exposure to the SCOOP shale play to the south. In total, the assets consist of GORRs and mineral title rights which apply to approximately 1,430 acres (net to Franco-Nevada). The top three operators on the acreage are Ovintiv Inc. (formerly Encana), Devon Energy, and Continental Resources, Inc. (“Continental”). These operators reduced their drilling activity in the play in 2020 owing to a sharp drop in commodity prices, and while the drilling rates increased in 2021, they remain below peak levels achieved in 2019. In 2021, 30 wells were drilled and completed on royalty lands. The land base has a potential inventory of 1,070 future well locations 4 implying approximately 36 years of additional drilling (based on the prior year drilling rate), followed by many years of additional production as the wells decline. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Franco-Nevada and Continental entered into a transaction whereby Franco-Nevada acquired $120 million in existing royalties owned by Continental and formed a jointly owned entity (the “Royalty Acquisition Venture”) to jointly acquire up to $400 million in royalty rights under Continental’s area of operations. With the Royalty Acquisition Venture, Franco-Nevada funds 80% of the acreage cost and receives 50-75% of distributions, depending on performance against pre-set volume targets. In exchange for the partial capital carry in favour of Continental, the venture provides Franco- Nevada with an opportunity to acquire royalty rights at the grass-roots level, leverage the value of Continental’s drilling plans, and benefit from the company’s knowledge of local land title and geology. In addition, Continental manages the Continental Resources drill rig, Oklahoma
