The mining company sells revenue or future production. In return, they receive money from royalty companies. Streaming agreements are about a specific project and the metal is transferred to the royalty company in physical form. If, on the other hand, it is about the proceeds of an overall project, then it is referred to as royalties and cash or raw materials flow in physical form. The first license agreements were concluded in the oil and gas business around the mid-1980s. In 1985, Franco-Nevada was the first company to acquire gold licenses. Silver Wheaton was also one of the first royalty companies. This involved buying silver that had not yet been produced. Franco-Nevada is still a heavyweight in the royalty and streaming business today. There are several noteworthy companies in the financing of gold mining operations today.
Osisko Gold Royalties - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/osisko-gold-royalties-ltd/-, for example, has focused on gold and copper. Incidentally, subsidiaries of Osisko Gold Royalties and Franco-Nevada have just entered into a contractual alliance. It concerns the gold production of an extremely promising gold-copper project in Ecuador.
The royalty concept is still relatively new in the uranium sector. Uranium Royalty - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/uranium-royalty-corp/ - is the only royalty company in this area. The company has built up a broad portfolio of uranium interests and license fees across all project phases. This also includes a significant physical uranium holding. And this at a time that has proven to be right. The uranium price has risen enormously due to the growing importance of uranium.
