Franco-Nevada Reports Q3 2015 Results and Declares Quarterly Dividend

TORONTO, November 11, 2015 - Franco-Nevada Corporation (TSX: FNV; NYSE: FNV) today reported third quarter 2015 financial results realizing 85,637 Gold Equivalent Ounces ('GEOs')1 from its mineral assets and $7.8 million in revenue from its oil & gas assets. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income2 were $15.2 million, or $0.10 per share, and $19.4 million, or $0.12 per share, respectively, with Adjusted EBITDA3 being $78.0 million, or $0.50 per share. Prepared in accordance with IFRS and presented in U.S. dollars (unless otherwise noted).

'Franco-Nevada's diversified portfolio continues to perform well,' said David Harquail, CEO. 'It is significant that these results are before any contributions from our $610 million Antamina silver stream investment which closed in October. We expect to begin recording revenues from the sale of ounces from Antamina in Q4 2015. Also, in November we began funding our gold and silver stream investment in the Cobre Panama project which we expect

will be ramping up production in 2018. Franco-Nevada now has net debt of approximately $330 million, an undrawn credit facility of $270 million and remains well-positioned to continue to add to its portfolio.'

Revenues and GEOs by Asset Categories

For the three months ended September 30, 2015

Revenue GEOs1

(in millions) #

For the third quarter of 2015, revenue was earned 90% from precious metals (83% gold and 7% PGM) and 79% from the Americas (19% U.S., 23% Canada and 37% Latin America). Costs and expenses were impacted by higher depletion expense and costs of sales due to the Candelaria acquisition. Oil & gas production levels were stable with the associated oil & gas revenue decreasing significantly year over year due to lower average oil & gas prices in 2015.

Cash provided by operating activities before changes to working capital was $72.4 million.

Corporate Updates

• Antamina: On October 9, 2015, Franco-Nevada closed the previously announced Antamina silver stream with Teck Resources Limited by providing a $610.0 million upfront payment. The payment was funded through a combination of cash on hand and a partial draw of the Company's credit facility. Antamina is expected to contribute between 900,000 to 1,100,000 silver ounces (12,300 to 15,000 GEOs) in Q4 2015.

  
  

• Cobre Panama: Franco-Nevada and First Quantum finalized terms of a replacement precious metals stream agreement on the Cobre Panama project. On November 3, 2015, Franco-Nevada made a $337.9 million initial upfront payment under its $1.0 billion commitment which was funded through cash on hand and proceeds from a partial draw of its credit facility.

  
  

• Credit Facility: Franco-Nevada has entered into an agreement to increase its credit facility to $1.0 billion while maintaining a $250.0 million accordion and extending the maturity to November 2020. Closing is expected to occur prior to the end of November.

Portfolio Updates

• Gold - U.S.: GEOs from U.S. gold assets increased to 14,618 GEOs mainly due to higher production at Goldstrike, Bald Mountain and Gold Quarry, partially offset by lower production at Marigold and fewer ounces under the Fire Creek/Midas fixed deliveries due to a reduction of the monthly ounce obligation in 2015 compared to 2014. Klondex Mines released an updated Mineral Resource estimate for its Midas Mine and Fire Creek project and announced positive drill results from recent underground and surface drilling at its Midas Mine.

• Gold - Canada: GEOs from Canadian assets decreased in the quarter due to lower production at Hemlo and Sudbury. In Ontario, Lake Shore Gold and Kirkland Lake Gold both announced positive drill results at their respective projects where Franco-Nevada holds various interests. Pretium Resources announced a $540 million construction financing package for its Brucejack project where Franco-Nevada has a 1.2% NSR. At the Phoenix gold project, where

  Franco-Nevada holds a 2% NSR, Rubicon Minerals announced the temporary suspension of underground activities while it reviews its geological model and develops an implementation plan.

  
  

• Gold - Latin America: Candelaria had a strong quarter delivering 19,081 GEOs to Franco-Nevada. During the quarter, Lundin Mining released an updated mine plan for Candelaria which reflected a 26% increase in precious metal production over the next four years. Under the Guadalupe stream agreement, Franco-Nevada funded

  $4.0 million during the quarter and the final instalment of $8.0 million subsequent to the quarter.

  
  

• Gold - Rest of World: Contributions from Sabodala and Mine Waste Solutions represented approximately 60%

  of the total GEOs received from Rest of World gold assets for Q3 2015. True Gold announced the commencement of mining at its Karma project and remains on track for gold production at the end of Q1 2016. Franco-Nevada funded

  $10.4 million in the quarter and $9.7 million subsequent to the quarter under the Karma stream agreement bringing the total funded to $63.4 million. Perseus Mining announced it had signed a Mining Convention with the Ivorian government on its Sissingue project and expects to make a production decision in the fourth quarter of 2015.

  
  

• PGM: PGM GEOs were impacted by declining palladium and platinum prices relative to gold in the quarter.

  
  

• Oil & gas: Revenue from oil & gas assets was $7.8 million in Q3 2015 with similar production levels as Q3 2014. The decrease in revenue is the result of lower average oil & gas prices. On November 6, 2015, Franco-Nevada acquired an additional 0.29% working interest in the Weyburn Unit for C$6.2 million.

In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating

to reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. Such forward looking statements reflect management's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management.

Often, but not always, forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as 'plans', 'expects', 'is expected', 'budgets', 'scheduled', 'estimates', 'forecasts', 'predicts', 'projects', 'intends', 'targets', 'aims', 'anticipates' or 'believes' or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions 'may', 'could', 'should', 'would', 'might' or 'will' be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements

of Franco-Nevada to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by

the forward looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward looking statement, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold, platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron-ore and oil and gas); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar, Mexican peso and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in national and local government legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in

which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or not Franco-Nevada is determined to have PFIC status; potential changes in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or

other interest; actual mineral content may differ from the reserves and resources contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious disease; and the integration of acquired assets. The forward looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy

of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; Franco-Nevada's ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material change to existing tax treatment; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed

expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that forward looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and investors are cautioned that forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. For additional information with respect to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to the 'Risk Factors' section of Franco-Nevada's most recent Annual Information Form as well as Franco-Nevada's most recent annual Management's Discussion and Analysis filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on www.sedar.com and Franco- Nevada's most recent Annual Report filed on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on www.sec.gov.

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.

1. GEOs include our gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other mineral 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 minerals were converted to GEOs by dividing

   associated revenue, which includes settlement adjustments, by the average gold price for the period. For Q3 2015, the average commodity prices were as follows: $1,124/oz gold (2014 - $1,282/oz); $988/oz platinum (2014 - $1,434/oz); $14.91/oz silver (2014 - $19.63/oz) and $615/oz palladium (2014 - $863/oz).

2. Adjusted Net Income is defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on the sale of investments, impairment charges related to royalties, streams, working interests and investments, unusual non-recurring items, and the impact of taxes on all these items.

3. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding income tax expense/recovery, finance income and expenses, foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on the sale of investments, depletion and depreciation, non-cash costs of sales and impairment charges related to royalties, streams, working interests and investments.
