“Franco-Nevada’s diversified portfolio and business model continues to generate strong revenues and margins,” commented David Harquail, CEO. “Subsequent to quarter end, we made the final installment on our $1 billion funding commitment for the Cobre Panama project. Franco-Nevada expects substantial growth in its revenues and EBITDA from assets already in place. Revenues are expected to increase by more than 30% once Cobre Panama ramps-up towards full production, Candelaria returns to normal operations and with the continued development of our U.S. oil & gas assets. We are also pleased to again increase our oil & gas revenue guidance for 2018.”

For Q3/2018, revenue was sourced 82.1% from precious metals (64.8% gold, 12.0% silver and 5.3% PGM) and 82.7% from the Americas (43.7% Latin America, 19.9% U.S., and 19.1% Canada). The percentage from precious metals is expected to increase next year as Cobre Panama begins its ramp-up and Candelaria returns to normal operations. Operating costs and expenses for the quarter were in-line with the prior year. Oil & gas revenue increased 109.6% year-over-year, reflecting the additional contributions from the SCOOP/STACK, Midland, Delaware and Orion royalties, higher prices and increased payments from Weyburn. Cash provided by operating activities was $128.2 million, an increase of 10.5% compared to Q3/2017.

Corporate Updates

| · |  | Strategic Relationship with Continental Resources, Inc.: On October 23, 2018, Franco-Nevada contributed $214.8 million to close its previously announced transaction with Continental Resources, Inc. to acquire mineral rights in the SCOOP and STACK plays of Oklahoma. Franco-Nevada has also committed, subject to satisfaction of agreed upon development thresholds, to spend up to $300 million over the next three years to acquire additional mineral rights through a newly-formed company. Acquisition of mineral rights is ongoing and Franco-Nevada now expects to fund additional capital contributions of between $35 and $55 million in 2018 as part of its $300 million commitment.

| · |  | 2018 Oil & Gas Guidance: To reflect the continued strong performance of the oil & gas assets, Franco-Nevada now expects to generate $75 to $85 million in revenue from oil & gas for 2018. This represents a further increase to our updated guidance in August of $65 to $75 million and our original guidance in March of $50 to $60 million. This guidance assumes the WTI oil price will average $65 per barrel for the balance of the year.

| · |  | Cobre Panama: In late September 2018, the Supreme Court of Panama announced a ruling in connection with the constitutionality of Law 9 of 1997. According to First Quantum, Law 9 granted the status of national law to the mining concession contract, establishing a statutory legal and fiscal regime for the development of the Cobre Panama project. First Quantum understands that the ruling relates to the enactment of Law 9 and not the legality of the mining concession allowing for the continuation of the development. Following the announcement, the Government of Panama issued a news release in support of the Cobre Panama project and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry considers the mining concession contract in effect. First Quantum indicated that it continues to work with appropriate parties to identify suitable remedies and to clarify the legal position of Law 9 and is confident in a near-medium term resolution.

Q3/2018 Portfolio Updates

| · |  | Precious Metals — Latin America: GEOs from Latin American precious metals assets decreased 7.2% year-over-year, with 61,967 precious metal GEOs earned in Q3/2018, reflecting decreased deliveries from Candelaria and Antamina which was partly offset by increased deliveries from Antapaccay.

| · |  | Cobre Panama (gold and silver stream) – During Q3/2018, Franco-Nevada (Barbados) contributed $88.4 million of its share of construction capital for the Cobre Panama project. Subsequent to quarter end, the company contributed $25.6 million representing the balance of the $1 billion deposit for the construction of Cobre Panama. As of the end of Q3/2018, First Quantum estimates that the project is 81% complete and continues to anticipate production during 2019.

| · |  | Candelaria (gold and silver stream) – Candelaria delivered 17,972 GEOs in Q3/2018, compared to 24,961 GEOs in Q3/2017. Precious metals production levels are lower as a result of the temporary processing of lower grade materials.

| · |  | Antapaccay (gold and silver stream) – Antapaccay delivered 21,725 GEOs in Q3/2018, an increase of 12.2% year-over-year.

| · |  | Antamina (silver stream) – 10,763 GEOs from Antamina were sold during the quarter. This is in-line with expectations and a decrease compared to 12,575 GEOs in Q3/2017.

| · |  | Cerro Moro (2% royalty) – Yamana declared commercial production at Cerro Moro on June 26, 2018 with Q3/2018 being the first full quarter of production.

| · |  | Guadalupe-Palmarejo (gold stream) – Guadalupe-Palmarejo delivered 10,611 GEOs in Q3/2018. Production increased year-over-year but was negatively impacted by the temporary suspension of mining activities.

| · |  | Precious Metals — U.S.: GEOs from U.S. precious metals assets increased by 8.0% year-over-year due to strong quarters from Marigold, Bald Mountain and Fire Creek which was offset by reduced deliveries from Stillwater and South Arturo. 17,866 GEOs were earned from U.S. precious metal assets.

| · |  | Mesquite (0.5-2% royalty) – During the quarter, New Gold entered into an agreement with Equinox Gold to sell the Mesquite Mine in California. Equinox Gold also owns the Castle Mountain project in California on which Franco-Nevada has a 2.65% royalty.

| · |  | South Arturo (4-9% royalty) – Construction of the Phase 1 open pit and the El Nino underground mine have been accelerated with production from both operations now expected in H2/2019. Additional work is planned to assess the potential of further mining opportunities that include a Phase 3 pit and processing of heap leach material from all pits.

| · |  | Marigold (0.5-5% royalty) – Marigold had a strong quarter with record material movement during the quarter. Previously, SSR Mining provided a new life of mine plan which is expected to support mining for over 10 years and gold production for 15 years.

| · |  | Stibnite Gold (1.7% royalty) – Midas Gold provided an updated permitting schedule for the Stibnite Gold project which would allow for a Final Record of Decision in May 2020. Subsequently, Midas Gold announced that the Nez Perce Tribe, one of three tribes being consulted by the U.S. Forest Service, is formally opposing the project.

2

| · |  | Fire Creek/Midas (fixed gold deliveries and royalty) & Hollister (3-5% royalty) – Hecla plans on increasing underground development at Fire Creek with the aim to increase throughput by 50% by mid-2019. At Hollister, Hecla has begun an access drift to the Hatter Graben.

| · |  | Stillwater (5% royalty) – The Blitz project achieved first production in September 2017 and is expected to reach full production by late 2021 or early 2022. Blitz is anticipated to increase total PGM production from Stillwater by more than 50% to approximately 850,000 ounces per year.

| · |  | Precious Metals — Canada: 13,391 GEOs from Canadian precious metals assets were earned during the quarter, an increase of 15.6% year-over-year compared with Q3/2017, as almost all producing assets had strong contributions.

| · |  | Musselwhite (5% NPI) – Drilling and resource conversion added 0.7 million ounces of mineral reserves (partially offset by depletion) which resulted in an increase from 1.9 million ounces to 2.3 million ounces at June 30, 2018.

| · |  | Brucejack (1.2% royalty) – As of the end of Q3/2018, Brucejack has produced approximately 428,000 ounces of gold since the mine start-up. Franco-Nevada’s royalty begins after approximately 500,000 ounces have been produced which is expected to occur towards the end of 2018.

| · |  | Canadian Malartic (1.5% royalty) – Exploration at the Odyssey and East Malartic properties continues and the JV partners continue to evaluate potential underground mining scenarios.

| · |  | Dublin Gulch (Eagle) (1.5-2% royalty) – Victoria Gold continues to advance construction of the Eagle Gold Project. Full construction commenced in March 2018 with first gold pour scheduled for H2/2019.

| · |  | Kirkland Lake (1.5-5.5% royalty & 20% NPI) – Continued exploration success at Macassa supports potential for future resource growth and resource conversion. Kirkland Lake Gold has previously announced plans for a new shaft at the Macassa mine which would support higher levels of production and offer more effective underground exploration. The two phase project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

| · |  | Precious Metals — Rest of World: 23,254 GEOs from Rest of World precious metals assets were earned during the quarter, essentially unchanged year-over-year.

| · |  | Duketon (2% royalty) – Regis Resources announced plans to proceed with development of an underground mining operation directly below the current Rosemont open pit.

| · |  | Subika (2% royalty) – First underground production was achieved in June 2018 with commercial production expected in Q4/2018. The underground project is expected to increase annual production by 150,000 – 200,000 oz/year for the first five years. The Ahafo mill expansion, which is expected to increase annual production by 75,000 – 100,000 oz/year during the first five years, is expecting first production in H2/2019.

| · |  | Agi Dagi (2% royalty) – Alamos announced that it has been granted the GSM (Business Opening and Operation) permit required for the development of its Kirazli project in Turkey. This is a positive indication for the permitting of Alamos’ two other projects in Turkey, Agi Dagi and Camyurt, on which Franco-Nevada has royalties.

| · |  | Tasiast (2% royalty) – The Phase One (12,000 tpd) expansion is complete, first ore has gone through the mill and commissioning is in its final stages. Phase Two activities are being paused as Kinross analyzes alternative intermediate throughput expansion options and engages in discussions with the Government of Mauritania.

| · |  | Oil & Gas: Revenue from oil & gas assets increased to $26.2 million in Q3/2018 compared to $12.5 million in Q3/2017, reflecting the additional contributions from the SCOOP/STACK, Midland, Delaware and Orion royalties, higher prices and increased payments from Weyburn.

| · |  | Weyburn (NRI, ORR, WI) – Weyburn generated $10.6 million in the quarter versus $8.6 million in the previous year, with the asset benefitting from higher oil prices.

| · |  | Delaware (various royalty rates) – The Delaware Basin royalties generated $4.4 million in the quarter. This was boosted by unbudgeted lease bonuses received during the quarter.

| · |  | Orion (GORR) – Osum Oil Sands Corp. continues with its expansion of the Orion plant to 18,000 bbl/d. Third quarter production was 11,000 bbl/d and Osum plans to exit 2018 at a rate of 14,000 bbl/d. Differentials for heavy oil prices in Western Canada widened during the quarter which negatively impacted revenue.

| · |  | Continental Minerals Venture (various royalty rates) – The transaction with Continental closed on October 23, 2018. Initial revenue from the transaction is expected in Q4/2018.

NON-IFRS MEASURES: Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. For a reconciliation of these measures to various IFRS measures, please see below or the Company’s current MD&A disclosure found on the Company’s website, on SEDAR and on EDGAR. Comparative information has been recalculated to conform to current presentation.

| 1 |  | GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mining assets. GEOs are estimated on a gross basis for NSR royalties and, in the case of stream ounces, before the payment of the per ounce contractual price paid by the Company. For NPI royalties, GEOs are calculated taking into account the NPI economics. Platinum, palladium, silver and other mining commodities are converted to GEOs by dividing associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the relevant gold price. The gold price used in the computation of GEOs earned from a particular asset varies depending on the royalty or stream agreement, which may make reference to the market price realized by the operator, or the average for the month, quarter, or year in which the mining commodity was produced or sold. For Q3/2018, the average commodity prices per ounce were as follows: $1,218 gold (Q3/2017 - $1,278), $14.99 silver (Q3/2017 - $16.83), $814 platinum (Q3/2017 - $953) and $953 palladium (Q3/2017 - $901).

| 2 |  | Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and earnings per share (“EPS”): income tax expense/recovery; finance expenses; finance income; depletion and depreciation; non-cash costs of sales; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on sale of royalty interests; gains/losses on investments; foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses and unusual non-recurring items.

| 3 |  | Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share are non-IFRS financial measures, which exclude the following from net income and EPS: foreign exchange gains/losses and other income/expenses; impairment charges related to royalty, stream and working interests and investments; gains/losses on sale of royalty interests; gains/losses on investments; unusual non-recurring items; and the impact of income taxes on these items.
