KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sandstorm Gold is a royalty and streaming company focused on the precious metal space, with a strong belief in the value of owning royalties and streams.
The company has a diverse portfolio of over 250 royalties and streams, with 40 cash-flowing assets and a focus on projects with long-term growth potential.
Investing in a royalty company like Sandstorm Gold offers the benefits of exploration upside, expansion potential, and commodity price upside without the risks associated with owning a mining company.
The mining industry is currently facing a lack of capital and outside investment, but the long-term demand for commodities like copper and gold suggests that this situation may change in the future.

BEST MOMENTS
"We have a real strong belief that there's a lot of great aspects of owning royalties and streams, of course, being attached to assets without having to spend the capex."
"For a royalty streaming company, if you see the commodity price go up or margins go up, you can be guaranteed that as an owner, as a shareholder of it. It really is that much more protected and easy to understand model for investors looking into the space." 
"The fact that nobody in the greater investment world has really taken that seriously or looked at that is really astounding. And so at some point, though, that really that problem has to come home to roost."
"We've been accumulating bits and pieces of projects that we believe eventually are really going to get there. Now, of all 250 of our projects, or how many of them are going to be up and producing 10 years from now? Well, it's certainly not going to be all 250."
