Franco-Nevada Corporation

Company Overview
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.
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 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
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.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The royalty and streaming industry in mining is a growing sector, driven by miners seeking alternative financing methods. It provides upfront capital for mine development in exchange for a portion of future production.
Positioning
Franco-Nevada is a leading player in the royalty and streaming space, known for its diversified portfolio and conservative approach. Its competitive advantage lies in its experience, capital access, and strong relationships within the mining industry.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The TAM is estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars annually, considering total mining capital expenditures. Franco-Nevada is well-positioned to capture a significant share of new royalty and streaming deals.

Major Acquisitions
Lundin Mining's Candelaria Mine
- Year: 2014
- Acquisition Price (USD millions): 648

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