Company Overview

overview logo History and Background

Franco-Nevada Corporation was founded in 2007, tracing its roots back to Euro-Nevada Mining Corporation, established in 1983. It focuses on securing royalties and streams in the mining industry rather than operating mines directly.

business area logo Core Business Areas

  • Mining Royalties and Streams: Franco-Nevada acquires royalty and stream interests in producing and near-producing mines. Royalties provide a percentage of revenue or production, while streams provide the right to purchase a percentage of metal production at a predetermined price.

leadership logo Leadership and Structure

Paul Brink is the CEO. The company has a board of directors and operates with a streamlined structure focused on deal sourcing and management of its portfolio of royalties and streams.

Top Products and Market Share

overview logo Key Offerings

  • Gold Royalties and Streams: Franco-Nevada's primary revenue source. They own royalties on various gold mines globally. Competitors include Royal Gold and Wheaton Precious Metals. Market share data for specific gold royalties is dispersed and not readily available.
  • Other Metals and Mining Royalties: Franco-Nevada also holds royalties on other precious metals (silver, platinum group metals), base metals (copper, nickel), and iron ore. Competitors are the same as above for streaming deals on these specific commodities.
  • Energy Royalties: Franco-Nevada also has royalty streams from Oil & Gas and natural gas resources. Competitors include diversified royalty and streaming companies but are more focused on minerals. Market share data for specific energy royalties is dispersed and not readily available.

The company should look out for increasing competition and geopolitical instability in mining regions.
