Franco-Nevada holds a 5% NSR, less third-party underlying royalties, on portions of the Hollister project, Nevada, resulting in the royalty holder being entitled to receive an effective 3% NSR on a 45-claim block area called Hillcrest–Finley River Block, and a 5% NSR royalty on another portion of the Ivanhoe property. The Hollister project is located at the northern end of the prolific Carlin Trend in northeast Nevada. Great Basin Gold Limited (“Great Basin”) owns and operates the Hollister project.
