Introduction to Nations Royalty with Rob McLeod

Kylie Williams interviews Rob McLeod, the interim CEO of Nations Royalty, who discusses the creation and goals of the company. Nations Royalty aims to be the largest majority Indigenous-owned public company in Canada, focusing on royalties for mining projects and other opportunities tied to Indigenous royalties. The company plans to grow by having First Nations join by vending in their royalties for shares. The pooling of royalties provides diversification and de-risking for Indigenous nations. The idea for the company's genesis dates back to the 1940s and has been supported by various Indigenous leaders and mining entrepreneurs. Nations Royalty aims to set an example for other First Nations to use capital markets for raising capital. Learn more: https://nationsroyalty.ca/home
