Franco-Nevada Corporation

Franco-Nevada Corporation is a leading gold-focused royalty and streaming company. It primarily engages in the acquisition and management of royalties and streams for precious metals, particularly gold, as well as other commodities such as silver, platinum, oil, and gas. Rather than operating mines or extracting resources directly, Franco-Nevada provides capital to miners in exchange for rights to purchase a percentage of production at a fixed, reduced rate or to receive a portion of the revenue. This business model allows the company to diversify its asset base across various projects and geographic locations, mitigating operational risks associated with individual mines and resource price volatility. Franco-Nevada's portfolio spans the globe, with investments in North America, Latin America, Africa, and Australia, impacting sectors like mining, energy, and natural resources. Recognized for its significant contribution to financing the mining industry, Franco-Nevada plays a vital role in enabling resource development while offering stable returns through royalties and streams. Established in 1983 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Franco-Nevada continues to be a benchmark in the royalty and streaming business, contributing to the gold market's financing structure.
