A royalty company is not itself responsible for exploration, mine construction, and operation. The operational risk therefore lies largely with the mine operators. They provide capital for mining companies and, in return, acquire royalty rights, a share in the production or revenue of the respective projects. Royalty structures also offer investors a certain degree of protection against currency devaluation, as revenues are usually linked to commodity prices or hard currencies. Since royalty companies invest in multiple projects, diversification takes place. This minimizes risks.

Silver accounts for only a small percentage of the global metal market. Currently, the price of silver has regained ground. The US president has just threatened new tariffs. Silver and gold prices are reacting immediately. Industrial demand for silver is rising. Incidentally, electric and hybrid cars contain about ten times as much silver as conventional combustion engines. Primary silver production has been declining for about ten years, while overall demand has risen by around 17 percent. Most silver, around 70 percent, is extracted as a by-product in mines.

Royalty companies usually focus on gold, copper, silver, or other metals. They operate in a similar way to their counterparts in the gold or silver sector. There is only one royalty company in the uranium sector. With the rise in demand for sustainable and low-emission energy sources, uranium is back in the spotlight. The uranium royalty company is benefiting from the expansion of nuclear energy and the global energy transition.

Uranium Royalty – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/uranium-royalty-corp/ – is unique for investors seeking diversification, as it is the only royalty company in the uranium industry. The company recently added a royalty on two uranium projects in Saskatchewan to its portfolio.

Vizsla Royalties – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/vizsla-royalties-corp/ – offers corporate diversification as a royalty company and owns two NSR royalties. One is a 2% interest in the Panuco property in Mexico, which is a primary, high-grade silver resource. The other is a 3.5% interest in the Silverstone concessions.
