Description

Sandstorm Gold Ltd. operates as a company focused on gold royalties. Its primary business involves securing royalty agreements and gold and other metals purchase contracts, known as streams, from mining companies with either advanced-stage development projects or actively producing mines. Sandstorm provides initial capital payments to these entities in exchange for the entitlement to acquire a percentage of a mine's output for its entire operational duration, either at a predetermined unit price or a set fraction of the prevailing market price. The company holds a robust portfolio of 230 streams and royalties. Its extensive global presence includes operations in numerous countries such as Canada, Mexico, the United States, Mongolia, Burkina Faso, Ecuador, South Africa, Ghana, Botswana, Cote D'Ivoire, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guyana, Paraguay, French Guiana, Turkey, Sweden, Fiji, and Australia. Founded in 2007, the company, originally known as Sandstorm Resources Ltd., adopted its current name, Sandstorm Gold Ltd., in February 2011, and maintains its headquarters in Vancouver, Canada.
