ASX RESOURCES - GROUP 150We are pleased to present the June edition of ‘Group 150’, a ranking of the top 150 ASX listed resources companies (excluding oil and gas), by market capitalisation. May was a scrappy month for equities as renewed concerns around European debt and the Federal Reserve’s lack of solutions for the structural deficit received global attention. A majority of commodity prices fell during the month, with the exception of gold. The cumulative market value of Group 150 decreased 1.8% from $591.5 billion to 580.7 billion at the end of May. Like April, two-thirds of the Group 150 recorded a fall in market value. For the first time in a while, the entry point into the Group 150 fell to $122.6 million, down from $130.6 million for the previous month. The ASX/S&P 200 Resources Index decreased 1.5% for the month, while both the ASX All Ordinaries and ASX/S&P 200 Index decreased 2.2% and 2.4% respectively. May recorded a steady month in M&A with only a handful of transactions announced, with the largest being the offer for South African gold miner, Gold One. Papillon lead the “Winners” for May (in terms of growth in market capitalisation), entering the Group 150 in position 147, after recording a 94.2% increase in value. Others included: Indo Mines (+71.8%), Minemakers (+50.4%), Iluka (+25.0% - adding a further $1.3b to the market cap), and Catalpa (+23.8%) after the approach from St Barbara. This month includes an article on the virtual mining company - “Generating Returns while Protecting the Downside - The Franco Nevada Story”Founded in 1982, Franco-Nevada had grown to a US$3 billion company by the time it was acquired by Newmont in 2002. The concept was to build a company from the cash flow stream of gold royalties which provide yield and more upside than a gold Exchange Traded Fund “ETF” but with less risk than a mine operator - a virtual mining company with no operating risk or capital expenditure commitments.In late 2007, a team including some Old Franco employees formed Franco-Nevada Corporation and on 20 December 2007, acquired a portfolio of Newmont royalties and other interests, completed a US$1.2 billion initial public offering, completed a bank debt facility and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The current portfolio includes over 340 assets covering properties at various stages from operations to early stage exploration. Royalties are mostly revenue-based but the portfolio also includes profit-based and stream-based royalties.

GeneraTinG reTurns whiLe proTecTinG The downside - The franco-nevada sTory
Source: Webisite, Bloomberg, Capital IQ
Founded in 1982, Franco-Nevada had grown to a US$3 billion company by the time it was acquired by Newmont in 2002.
Franco-Nevada (“Franco”) and Euro-Nevada were founded in 1982 by two Canadian entrepreneurs, Pierre Lassonde and Seymour Schulich. In 1986, Old Franco made its first royalty acquisition, and acquired or created additional royalties and resource investments from 1986 to 2002.
The concept was to build a company from the cash flow stream of gold royalties which provide yield and more upside than a gold ETF but with less risk than a mine operator - a virtual mining company with no operating risk or capital expenditure commitments.
While Franco focussed on North American gold royalties (with some interests in oil and gas and platinum), sister company Euro-Nevada focussed on building a portfolio of international gold royalties. The royalty portfolio was substantially made up of interests in significant assets, operated by industry leaders in regions of low political risk and is balanced across a number of commodities and stages of development.
Historically, Franco and Euro-Nevada were kept separate for tax efficiency. In September 1999, however, the two companies took the inevitable step and merged under the name Franco-Nevada (“Old Franco-Nevada”).
Old Franco-Nevada was one of Canada’s most successful companies, building a quality portfolio of royalties and delivering superior returns to shareholders in the process.
In 2000, an attempt to merge Old Franco-Nevada with Gold Fields Limited failed when the deal did not receive South African regulatory approval.
Old Franco-Nevada discovered, developed and brought into production the Midas mine in Nevada and sold its interest in this mine together with certain other assets to Normandy in the first half of 2001, in exchange for a 19.9% equity interest in Normandy and a continuing 5-10% NSR royalty interest on the Midas mine. At the same time Old Franco-Nevada’s royalties over Henty and New Celebration were transferred to Normandy.
Recognising the value of the company, Newmont Mining Corporation successfully acquired Old Franco-Nevada in February 2002 as part of its three-way merger with Normandy and Franco.
Franco’s key strategy was to use the investment flexibility that royalties offer to acquire direct interests in major ore bodies operated by the best companies in the business.
A key driver of Franco’s growth was its investment in early stage developments, gaining the right to participate in any future growth of properties without being responsible for development costs or environmental liabilities.
For example, when Franco bought the Goldstrike royalty, the project was operated by a relatively small company. A year later Barrick took it over, and had invested over US$1 billion to boost reserves from 600,000oz Au when the acquisition was made in 1986, to around 20Moz Au at the time of Old Franco-Nevada being acquired by Newmont. In 2010, the Goldstrike royalty contributed US$50m in revenue to Franco-Nevada.
The table illustrates the calibre of Franco’s portfolio in 2001 and the large number of Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalties. The strategy of acquiring NSR royalties provided Franco with a cash flow independent of the margin of the project, thereby providing some protection from adverse commodity price movements.

Franco-Nevada Corporation - a new beginning
In late 2007, a team including some Old Franco employees formed Franco-Nevada Corporation and on 20 December 2007, acquired a portfolio of Newmont royalties and other interests, completed a US$1.2 billion initial public offering, completed a bank debt facility and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In 2008 and 2009, the company raised additional equity in order to grow the royalty and stream portfolio. In March 2011, Franco-Nevada acquired Gold Wheaton Corporation which added additional gold and PGM streams.
The current portfolio includes over 340 assets covering properties at various stages from operations to early stage exploration. Royalties are mostly revenue-based but the portfolio also includes profit-based and stream-based royalties.

Currently, Franco-Nevada’s market capitalisation is in excess of C$4.5 billion, and analyst consensus estimates indicate the company will generate NPAT of C$120m on revenues of C$340m in 2011, implying a margin of ~35% and a price to earnings ratio of ~39x.
