Dig Deep Cashflow for Royalty Investors Generated by a Diverse Global Portfolio with Fredrick Bell
In this episode, we chat to Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental Royalties who are an emerging, rapidly growing gold royalty company with world-class, producing assets on four continents and are listed on the TSX.
Fred has over 15 years of experience in the mining industry. Fredrick worked with a few explorers before taking the helm at Elemental Royalties just over 5 years ago. He talks about his journey and what Elemental Royalties have achieved to date. We also discuss how networking and building up your contact base is important from the very first day you start studying. Including, how doing this pays off as you develop your career. Fred is also on the committee of the young mining professionals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Elemental Royalties offers its investors a diversified portfolio of interests, spread throughout the world.
- Elemental Royalties was generating revenue from day one of being set up.
- As a royalty company, they, and their shareholders, get paid without needing to reinvest.
- Diversification creates a lower risk profile.
- 80% of their portfolio is made up of operating mines based in a range of countries. Fredrick shares details of two of them in the podcast.
- They have cash flowing assets.
- They have a 1% NSR royalty on Wahgnion gold, which produced 175,000 ounces of gold last year. The royalty extends to the nearly 1000 sq. km that is still to be explored.
- The big royalty companies have the cash to continue investing during the bad times when there are some great deals available.
- In the mining world, you hear about opportunities through the people that you meet from the industry.
- Attend as many mining events as you can, while studying. Including young miners events.
- Without his connections and network Fredrick would not have been able to start up Elemental.
