Video Summary of an Interview with NRC.V CEO Rob McLeod In a recent interview on Mining Book, Rob McLeod, Interim CEO of Nations Royalty Corp. (Ticker: NRC.v or NRYCF in the US), discussed the innovative approach his company is taking in the mining industry.
Nations Royalty aims to work closely with Indigenous groups in Canada, with its first partner being the Nisga’a Nation, to create a diversified portfolio of royalties in the mining and energy sectors.
McLeod emphasizes how this new venture offers Indigenous communities the chance to diversify and de-risk their royalty streams by pooling them into a larger public company, enabling equity participation and greater financial independence.
Nations Royalty's starting portfolio consists of royalty interests in several projects on Nisga’a land. One notable project in Nations Royalty’s portfolio is Seabridge's KSM project, a massive copper-gold deposit in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, which McLeod sees as a key long-term asset.
Nations Royalty’s approach provides First Nations, starting with the Nisga’a Nation, the ability to crystallize the value of their royalties while also fostering Indigenous leadership within the company.
NRC aims to grow into a top-five royalty company by consolidating Indigenous royalties, particularly in Canada, and McLeod highlights Nations Royalty’s broader goals of expanding its portfolio beyond mining, with plans to include energy royalties.
The video provides a comprehensive look at how Nations Royalty is aiming to reshape the mining royalty space by prioritizing Indigenous equity, expanding beyond mineral royalties, and becoming an example of economic reconciliation in Canada.
