Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook & Management Commentary:
- Asset Updates: Key assets are advancing. Borborema Mine (Brazil) achieved commercial production in Q3 2025. The Odyssey underground mine (Canadian Malartic) is ahead of schedule, with ramp-based production expected in Q1 2026. Vareš Mine (Bosnia) is ramping up toward full production by end of 2026.
- Strategy: Continued focus on acquiring accretive royalties and utilizing the "Royalty Generator Model" to create new interests on exploration-stage properties.
Risks & Contingencies:
- Commodity Price Volatility: Revenue is highly sensitive to gold and copper prices.
- Operator Dependency: As a passive investor, the Company relies on third-party operators for production, development, and financial stability. It has limited access to operational data.
- Concentration Risk: Approximately 79.7% of 2025 revenue was derived from four properties (Borborema, Côté Gold, Cozamin, and Vareš). Canadian Malartic represents ~38.6% of total assets.
- Geopolitical Risk: 87.4% of revenue comes from properties outside the U.S., exposing the Company to foreign jurisdiction risks.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Production Milestones: Monitor the ramp-up schedule for the Borborema Mine and the start of production at the Odyssey underground mine (Q1 2026).
- Commodity Prices: Assess the impact of current gold and copper prices on future royalty revenue, given the high sensitivity of the business model.
- Operator Performance: Review operational updates from key operators (Agnico Eagle, Aura, IAMGOLD, DPM Metals) regarding production targets and cost structures.
- Share Count: Note the increase in outstanding shares due to the Dec 2025 offering and the conversion of debentures (224.5 million shares outstanding as of Dec 31, 2025).
