About

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is a Canadian multinational precious metals streaming company. It provides upfront capital to mining operators in exchange for the right to purchase a fixed percentage of precious metals production at predetermined low prices over the life of the mines. This business model delivers commodity price leverage and exploration upside to investors with a lower risk profile than traditional mining, featuring high cash operating margins, capital predictability, and organic growth from a high-quality portfolio. The company generates revenue primarily from selling gold, silver, palladium, platinum, cobalt, and other metals sourced from streams on 23 operating mines and 25 development projects worldwide, located in politically stable jurisdictions. Notable partners include Vale, Newmont, Glencore, and Hudbay Minerals, with over 90% of production from low-cost, high-margin assets in the lowest half of their cost curves and over 95% revenue exposure to precious metals. Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. maintains a lean operation with just 42 employees, emphasizing rigorous financial, technical, and ESG due diligence to unlock value from assets within mining companies, positioning it as a premier vehicle for precious metals investment.
