Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (formerly Sandstorm Resources)[1] provides financing for precious metal mining companies in the form of a 'gold streaming' transaction whereby an upfront cash payment is exchanged for a percentage of gold production from the mine.[2] The finance model has also been called a volumetric production payment transaction and originated in the oil and gas sector.[3]

History

Sandstorm Resources (now Sandstorm Gold)[1] was founded in 2008, when Nolan Watson and David Awram decided to create a metal streaming company that would be focused on gold acquisitions.[4] Both Watson and Awram were former employees of Silver Wheaton, the first organization to apply this financial model to the mining industry.[5] Sandstorm Gold is a publicly traded company, listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange under the symbol, SSL.[6]

Sandstorm plans to grow and diversify through the acquisition of additional gold streams.[7]
