Business model and strategy

  • Operates a low-risk royalty model focused on bulk, base, and battery metals, providing top-line exposure and high margins.

  • Maintains a disciplined, patient growth strategy, reinvesting strong cash flows into value-accretive assets and recycling capital from non-core disposals.

  • Focuses on acquiring royalties in Australia, North America, and select South American and European markets, targeting developed mining jurisdictions.

  • Avoids early-stage exploration, preferring projects near construction or production, and maintains a small, efficient team with a Denver office to enhance North American deal flow.

  • Portfolio management emphasizes cost inflation resistance and limited exposure to capital and operating costs.

Portfolio highlights and financial performance

  • Mining Area C (MAC) royalty is the flagship asset, generating record revenues and capacity payments after a major expansion.

  • FY2025 revenue reached AUD 260 million (~$170 million), with underlying EBITDA of AUD 250 million and a 75% dividend payout ratio.

  • Thacker Pass lithium royalty acquired, with a $13 million buyback expected, $3.5 billion in project funding secured, and significant future production optionality.

  • Other assets include copper and lithium royalties in the U.S., Africa, and Peru, plus mineral sands projects in Australia, with diversified exposure across iron ore, lithium, copper, and precious metals.

  • Recent divestments of non-core gold and silver assets generated strong returns, with $124 million in sales and IRRs above 30%.

Asset and market outlook

  • Mining Area C is the world’s largest iron ore mine, with a nameplate capacity of 145 million tons and decades of expected life, delivering record production and capacity payments.

  • Revenue is primarily driven by iron ore pricing, with volumes expected to remain stable in the medium term.

  • Thacker Pass is under construction, with phase I funded, future phases planned to expand lithium output up to 160,000 tons/year, and production expected to start in late 2027.

  • The lithium project is de-risked by government support and strong offtake agreements, offering long-life, low-cost exposure and significant expansion potential.

  • Ongoing focus on value-accretive opportunities and near-term milestones in multiple projects.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
