Gold Royalty Corp.
Gold Royalty Corp. is a U.S.-based precious metals royalty company that acquires and holds net smelter return royalties and other royalty and streaming interests on gold-focused mining assets. Its portfolio is concentrated in the Americas and is structured to receive value from third-party-operated mines and development projects rather than from operating mines directly.

Business
Share of revenueRoyalty interests that entitle the company to a percentage of mine revenues from production on underlying properties.
Metal purchase rights tied to future production from mining assets, typically at pre-agreed pricing terms.
Royalty-linked interests held through joint ventures or partnership structures such as Borborema LP.
Royalties on projects in development or recently acquired interests that may contribute in future periods.
Customers
Gold Royalty's direct counterparties are mining companies, project developers, and operators that sell royalty or streaming interests to raise capital without issuing operating debt or equity. Its end cash flow depends on production from gold mines and development projects in the Americas, so the customer base is best understood as the mining operators underlying each royalty asset.
Operators of gold mines and related projects that grant royalties or streams in exchange for financing or asset monetization.
Developers of exploration and construction-stage assets that use royalty financing to fund mine advancement.
Partners in royalty-bearing structures such as Borborema LP that support revenue participation through partnership interests.
Operators of suspended or restartable mines that may create future royalty receipts if assets return to production.
Strategy
The company focuses on building a diversified portfolio of precious metals royalties and streams, with an emphasis on high-quality, sustainable mining operations. Its strategy is to add assets through acquisitions and financing structures that provide exposure to mine production without operating risk, while retaining optionality from development-stage and restart assets.
Diversification across multiple royalties reduces dependence on any single mine or operator.
New royalty interests are the main way to expand future cash flow without operating mines directly.
Producing and restartable assets can improve portfolio visibility and near-term revenue potential.
Geography
Gold Royalty's royalty portfolio is concentrated in the Americas, which is the company's primary geographic revenue exposure and operating footprint. The business is not tied to a single mine country; instead, its cash flow depends on a diversified set of gold properties across North and South America, with project-specific risk determined by each underlying operator.
Risks
Gold Royalty's results depend on third-party operators, so production delays, mine restarts, and project underperformance can directly reduce royalty receipts. The company also faces commodity-price sensitivity, jurisdictional risk across the Americas, and dependence on disclosures from operators it cannot fully verify.
