Elevated gold prices translated directly into some of our highest ever margins,” stated Paul Brink, CEO. “Salares Norte commenced production during the quarter and Greenstone and Tocantinzinho are on track for first production in the coming months. Alamos’ planned acquisition of Argonaut will help realize the full potential of the Magino and Island Gold deposits. While Cobre Panama remains on preservation and safe management, we are hopeful that the issues can be resolved. Franco-Nevada has no debt, $2.3B in available capital and has an active deal pipeline.”
