'Nations Royalty: A First of It's Kind' - Deep Dive Intervew
New interview with Nations Royalty (NRC.v NRYCF) CEO & Director Rob McLeod from the Deep Dive, discussing the company's unique position as a major indigenous-owned public company:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbQJFJqXyZk Focused on acquiring royalties from mining projects, NRC recently listed on the TSXV with a vision for economic reconciliation in uniting First Nations and indigenous groups by combining royalties, income and commodity streams as well as annual benefit payment entitlements from resource projects, tapping into the growth, diversification and value potential typical of publicly traded royalty companies with expansion plans beyond Canada.
Market Reception
- Two Groups: The reception from shareholders, particularly the Nishka Nation, and other high-net-worth investors has been supportive. However, general investors show a mix of curiosity and skepticism, given the company's unique model.
- Indigenous Partnerships: Nations Royalty’s focus on economic reconciliation and capacity building for Indigenous people has been well-received by various Indigenous groups globally, with discussions underway on over 40 fronts.
Business Strategy
- Commodity and Jurisdiction Focus: The company prioritizes royalties in precious metals and energy metals but is open to working with Indigenous groups across different commodities and jurisdictions, especially in Canada.
- Global Outreach: While Canada is the primary focus, Nations Royalty is exploring opportunities with Indigenous groups internationally, including in Australia.
Addressing Industry Skepticism
- Skepticism: Some industry players are skeptical of Nations Royalty’s model, which Rob attributes to institutionalized racism and a lack of understanding of Indigenous capabilities.
- Proving the Model: Rob is determined to prove skeptics wrong by successfully transacting on royalties, thereby enabling Indigenous groups to diversify and reduce risks.
Personal and Family Background
- Golden Triangle History: Rob shared his deep connection to the mining industry, particularly in the Golden Triangle region of BC. His family has a long history in mining, with significant contributions to the industry.
- Nations Royalty’s Origins: The mutual respect between his family and the Nishka people played a crucial role in the formation of Nations Royalty, making it a personal mission for Rob.
The KSM Property
- World's Largest Copper-Gold Deposit: The KSM property, valued at around half a trillion dollars, is a key asset in Nations Royalty’s portfolio. Despite challenges, it has advanced in permitting and is attracting interest from major mining companies.
- Potential and Hurdles: The main hurdle for Seabridge, the owner of KSM, is finding the right partner to fund the project’s development. The support from local Indigenous Nations is a significant positive factor.
Investor Outlook
- Upcoming Transactions: Investors should look out for Nations Royalty’s first major transaction, which will validate their business model. The company is focusing on growing its management team, with an emphasis on Indigenous leadership.
With an established and diverse portfolio of assets across the Golden Triangle including the Brucejack Gold Mine, the Premier-Red Mountain Mine and the KSM project, NRC boasts a unique opportunity with the ability to rapidly and significantly scale across the country.
