Gold royalty company providing upfront financing to gold mining companies seeking capital.
Sandstorm Gold Ltd. operates as a prominent player in the gold royalty sector, specializing in acquiring royalties and gold purchase agreements (streams) from companies with advanced stage development projects or operational mines. The company differentiates itself by providing upfront payments to acquire these streams or royalties, securing the right to purchase a fixed percentage of a mine's future production either at a predetermined price per unit or based on a fixed percentage of the spot price.
With a diversified portfolio encompassing 250 royalties, Sandstorm Gold Ltd. maintains a global presence across key mining jurisdictions. These include Canada, Mexico, the United States, Mongolia, Burkina Faso, Ecuador, South Africa, Ghana, Botswana, Cote D'Ivoire, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guyana, Paraguay, French Guiana, Turkey, Sweden, Fiji, and Australia. This expansive geographic footprint not only mitigates risk but also positions the company to benefit from a wide range of mining operations and economic environments.
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Sandstorm Gold Ltd. was initially known as Sandstorm Resources Ltd. before rebranding in February 2011. The company's strategic approach to acquiring royalties and streams underscores its commitment to building a robust and sustainable portfolio in the precious metals sector, leveraging its expertise to capitalize on the potential long-term value of mining investments.
