“Silver is such a small portion of the metals market. Not very many people are focused on it, meaning there’s almost no competition in what we do. If we look at the other royalty companies, they’re focused on iron ore, they’re focused on gold, they’re focused on other metals — lithium, for instance — and … nobody is focused on silver,” said Bures.
Economically, silver only makes up about 5 percent of mined products that comes out of the ground, resulting in companies focusing on the bigger, more relevant metals, Bures explained.
“We see ourselves as a value creator, meaning that the silver in the hands of the producer is valued the same as gold and all the other metals that they produce. If we can provide a premium to market and exposure to us as a royalty company to that project, then we offer diversification. We offer growth. All the various things that you would want a company to have — that is, building another mine — this is essentially doing the exact same thing, except you don’t have to wait 10 years to put it into production.”
