​ Cobre Panama The Company has two precious metal streams in reference to production from the Cobre Panama mine, operated by MPSA, a subsidiary of First Quantum. Cobre Panama has been in preservation and safe management (“P&SM”) with production halted since November 2023. First Quantum and its subsidiary, MPSA, and the Government of Panama (the “GOP”) had been engaged in discussions regarding a revised concession contract for Cobre Panama. In March 2023, First Quantum and the GOP announced that an agreement had been reached on the terms and conditions for a revised concession contract (together with subsequent modifications, the “Revised Concession Contract”). On October 20, 2023, the National Assembly of Panama approved the Revised Concession Contract through Law 406. However, amid protests against the GOP and the Revised Concession Contract, a number of claims were lodged with the Supreme Court asserting that Law 406 was unconstitutional. On November 27, 2023, the Supreme Court issued a ruling, released publicly the following day, declaring Law 406 unconstitutional. Further, on December 19, 2023, the Ministry of Commerce and Industries of Panama (“MICI”) announced plans for Cobre Panama which was followed by a request from MPSA for a P&SM plan for Cobre Panama. In light of these events, the Company assessed the Cobre Panama CGU for indicators of impairment. The Company carried out an impairment assessment to determine the recoverable amount of the Cobre Panama CGU. The recoverable amount, in accordance with IAS 36, was determined to be nil at December 31, 2023 based on the halting of production and political environment surrounding the Supreme Court ruling. As a result, the Company recognized a full impairment loss of $1,169.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. In the event that there is a change in the facts and circumstances surrounding the halting of production at Cobre Panama, and there is a resumption of precious metal stream deliveries to Franco-Nevada, an assessment of the recoverable amount of the Cobre Panama CGU will be performed at that time, which may lead to a reversal of part or all of the impairment loss that has been recognized. In addition, Franco-Nevada has provided notices of intent to commence international arbitration proceedings. Refer to Note 25, Contingencies, for further details. This impairment has been taken without prejudice to, or without at present attributing any specific value to, the legal remedies that may be obtained through any arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Energy Exploration Assets The Company was notified, pursuant to various royalty agreements, that the explorer/developer of certain of the Company’s Energy assets had abandoned tenements, concessions or ground which was subject to royalty rights held by the Company. As a result, the Company wrote-off the carrying value of the associated exploration assets to nil. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the total amount written off was $4.1 million.
(c) | Disposal of Royalty Interest
On February 22, 2023, Marathon exercised its option to buy-back 0.5% of Franco-Nevada’s initial 2.0% NSR on the Valentine Gold project by paying $7.0 million to Franco-Nevada. Franco-Nevada acquired the initial NSR on February 21, 2019 for $13.7 million (C$18.0 million). The carrying value of the NSR portion subject to the buy-back was $3.3 million (C$4.5 million). The Company recognized a gain on disposal of $3.7 million in the consolidated statement of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income for the year ended December 31, 2023.
