SAND Profile
Sandstorm Gold Ltd. is a prominent gold royalty and streaming company, specializing in acquiring and managing gold and other metal royalties and streaming agreements. The company’s business model revolves around providing upfront payments to mining companies in exchange for rights to a percentage of future production from their projects. These arrangements include fixed-price or percentage-of-spot-price agreements for a mine's output, offering a steady and potentially lucrative revenue stream for Sandstorm while minimizing operational risks.
Sandstorm Gold’s extensive portfolio includes over 250 royalty and streaming agreements across a diverse range of mining projects and operating mines. The company strategically targets advanced-stage development projects and producing mines to secure long-term, stable returns. Sandstorm’s approach allows it to benefit from the upside potential of mining projects without directly engaging in mining operations or incurring related costs.
Geographically, Sandstorm Gold Ltd. has established a significant presence with operations spanning across multiple key mining regions. The company’s assets are distributed in Canada, Mexico, the United States, and international locations including Mongolia, Burkina Faso, Ecuador, South Africa, Ghana, and many others. This global footprint underscores Sandstorm’s strategy to diversify its portfolio and reduce exposure to risks associated with any single region or project.
Originally incorporated as Sandstorm Resources Ltd. in 2007, the company rebranded to Sandstorm Gold Ltd. in February 2011 to better reflect its focus on gold and precious metal royalties. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Sandstorm continues to enhance its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, maintaining its position as a leading player in the royalty and streaming sector. The company remains committed to leveraging its extensive network and industry expertise to drive growth and deliver value to its stakeholders.
