Royal Gold, Inc.
Royal Gold, Inc. is a precious metals royalty and streaming company that acquires long‑term royalty and stream interests in mining projects. Rather than operate mines, Royal Gold receives a portion of revenue or production from partner operators, giving investors exposure to gold and other metals with lower direct operating risk and capital intensity. Its portfolio spans multiple jurisdictions and commodities, and the company historically converts royalty receipts into cash flow that can support dividends, buybacks or new acquisitions. Key considerations include sensitivity to metal prices, concentration in a limited number of material assets, and counterparty and geopolitical risk. With a market capitalisation of about $15.6bn, Royal Gold is often viewed as a way to gain leveraged exposure to metal prices while avoiding running mining operations.
