Key Offerings
- Gold Stream & Royalty Agreements: Royal Gold derives revenue from stream and royalty agreements tied to gold production from various mines globally. Market share data is difficult to pinpoint precisely as it depends on specific mine production levels and agreement terms. Competitors include Franco-Nevada and Wheaton Precious Metals.
- Silver Stream & Royalty Agreements: Similar to gold, revenue generated through agreements based on silver production. Market share data is also dynamic and reliant on specific project performance. Competitors also include Franco-Nevada and Wheaton Precious Metals.
