Business Wire
Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD) (together with its
subsidiaries, “Royal Gold” or the “Company,” “we” or “our”)
announced today the publication of the 2024 editions of the Asset
Handbook and Investment Stewardship Report, which are both
available on the Royal Gold website.
“Royal Gold has a high-quality and gold-focused portfolio of
stream and royalty interests on assets operated by some of the
world’s leading mining companies, and both of these documents
provide detail that allows the market to understand the
opportunities and risks within the portfolio,” commented Bill
Heissenbuttel, President and CEO. “Our business is designed to
provide investors with low-risk exposure to precious metals revenue
and our approach to capital allocation and risk is an important
driver of our success. We believe that diligently monitoring and
reporting on portfolio assets, and taking a holistic approach to
sustainability risks, provides us insights to effectively manage
our business while giving shareholders an understanding of how our
business may perform over the longer term.”
Asset Handbook
The 2024 Asset Handbook provides a detailed description of the
mining assets that underlie Royal Gold’s portfolio of stream and
royalty interests. This year’s handbook introduces production
guidance through 2028 for most of our key assets, which is intended
to provide the investing community with a consolidated summary of
the medium-term production outlook as provided by the operators of
those assets. In addition, specific highlights include detailed
descriptions of:
- The overall attributes of a well-diversified portfolio of over
40 producing interests, which generated record revenue of $719.4
million in 2024, sourced 76% from gold,
- Notable developments in 2024, which include new revenue
contributions from three new mines, and production increases and
resource additions at several other revenue-producing mines,
- Performance metrics for each revenue-generating interest,
including revenue received and investment recovered to date,
and
- Developments underway at various assets, which include the
potential to add production, resources and mine life.
