Why not bet on royalty companies

Royalty companies pay money to mining companies in return for a share of current or future production, usually gold or silver shipments. And there are royalties, company shares or so-called milestone payments. Royalties usually account for one to three percent. They can take different forms but are usually defined as a small percentage of the net smelter return (NSR). This in turn is calculated as the proceeds of precious metal production, with refining and transportation costs deducted.

The mine operator can bring his mine to production more quickly and the royalty company participates in the mining company without its own mining risk. In addition, shares in companies that are not yet producing are favorable for the royalty company. If the precious metals are then produced, the royalty company can often score with a special profit lever. This is even more true when gold and silver prices rise. So, both partners benefit, because financing is not always easy to obtain. Another advantage of royalty companies is the large number of partner companies, i.e., a broad diversification. For the investor, this means diversification that a single mining company cannot offer in this way. Among the well positioned and successful royalty companies are Gold Royalty and Osisko Gold Royalties.

With a focus on North America, Osisko Gold Royalties (https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/osisko-gold-royalties-ltd/) owns over 180 royalties and streams. Among them is the valuable five percent net smelter return royalty with respect to the largest gold mine (Malartic Mine) in Canada.

Gold Royalty (https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/gold-royalty-corp/) has more than 200 royalties in its portfolio and is focused on North, Central and South America.
