Overview Our Business Model As a gold-focused royalty and streaming company, we do not operate mines, develop projects or conduct exploration. We have a unique business that is exposed to both the tremendous resource upside potential, or “optionality” of royalties on gold mines, development projects and exploration properties and the low risk, long life cash flows of precious metals streams on large copper mines. Both royalties and streams provide exposure to commodity prices, increases in production and future discoveries on the property. Neither interest is subject to cash calls to fund exploration, development, capital, environmental or closure costs and so they are lower risk than an operating interest. Royalties Streams Royalties are often 1-2% of the value of future production from a resource Streams have become a mainstream source of capital to mining P r property and are typically created as exploration properties change companies most often to fund the construction of new projects.
