Episode notes

Have you taken a serious look at how royalties can be an effective vehicle to finance mining projects? If you'd like to learn how a successful gold royalty company is built and how it can support the mining industry, investors and management teams, this episode is for you!

Sandstorm Gold Royalties holds a portfolio of 250 royalties on mines worldwide. David Awram, Geologist and Senior Executive Vice President, is at the helm of their leadership. In this episode, he shares his experience of learning essential aspects of the industry from inspiring leaders, and his efforts to popularize the use of royalties as a financing mechanism.

Shortly after announcing the public funding at Sandstorm, the gold price plummeted, and David gives listeners a look at how the company managed this challenge. We explore business development at Sandstorm and hear how David’s approach differs from other names in the industry.

We discuss the need for speculative capital, inspiration from David Law’s work, and much more before David offers some hard-earned advice for those looking to enter the investment industry, and CEOs aiming to finance their projects.
