Franco-Nevada is a gold-focused royalty company with additional interests in platinum group metals, oil and gas and other assets. We are the leading gold royalty company with the largest gold royalty revenues. The majority of our revenues are derived from a diversified portfolio of high-quality royalty properties located in North America. Franco-Nevada also holds a pipeline of assets which have the potential to generate future royalty revenues but which are currently under development or in the exploration phase. As of mid 2010, the royalty portfolio consists of approximately 311 royalty interests diversified over a range of commodities and stages from exploration through to operating.Our royalty portfolio generates high-margin free cash-flow with lower exposure to operating and capital costs than operating companies. The portfolio also provides us with direct leverage to commodity prices and the exploration potential of world-class ore deposits and mineral exploration trends where we have existing royalty interests. Management has proven successful in both acquiring and creating new royalties along with managing our growing portfolio of assets. We intend to utilize our free cash-flow to grow the portfolio and to pay dividends. We believe that a portfolio of royalty interests provides our shareholders with a higher risk-adjusted return through the commodity cycle than direct operating interests.
