About RGLD
Royal Gold, Inc. is a high-margin, large-capitalization company that generates cash flows from a large and well-diversified portfolio of precious metal streams, royalties and similar production-based interests located in mining-friendly jurisdictions. It owns a large portfolio of producing, development, evaluation and exploration stage streams and royalties on properties located in gold regions and operated by companies in the mining industry. Its Acquisition and Management of Stream Interests segment includes a metal stream, which is a purchase agreement that provides the right to purchase all or a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine, at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement. Its Acquisition and Management of Royalty Interests segment includes non-operating interests in mining projects that provide the right to revenue or metals produced from the project after deducting specified costs, if any.
