Franco-Nevada Corporation is a leading global company in the resource sector, primarily focused on gold and precious metals
It operates a unique business model centered around royalty and streaming agreements, allowing it to finance mining projects while minimizing risk and operational costs. By acquiring and managing a diverse portfolio of royalties and streams, Franco-Nevada generates revenue from mining operations without directly engaging in extraction activities. The company strategically seeks opportunities in various geographic regions and is dedicated to creating value for its shareholders through disciplined investment and a strong emphasis on sustainability.
The business model gives the companies exposure to higher gold prices, but at far lower risk than the mining companies incur since they do not have to deal with the myriad problems that arise in mining.
