Company Description
Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (TFPM) is a precious metals streaming and royalty company listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TFPM. According to the company’s public disclosures, Triple Flag offers investors exposure primarily to gold and silver through a large portfolio of streaming and royalty interests on mining assets located mainly in the Americas and Australia.
Triple Flag’s business model is based on acquiring streams and royalties on third‑party mining operations rather than owning or operating mines itself. The company has stated in multiple news releases that it does not own, develop or mine the underlying properties on which it holds stream or royalty interests and is instead dependent on the owners or operators of those properties for technical and operating information. This structure gives investors access to metal production and revenue from a diversified group of mines and projects without direct exposure to mine development and operating activities.
Asset portfolio and geographic focus
In its recent news releases, Triple Flag describes a portfolio numbering in the hundreds of individual interests. The company has reported totals in the range of over 230 assets, consisting of streams and royalties at different times, with dozens of producing mines and more than two hundred development and exploration stage projects and other assets. These interests are tied to mining assets at various stages of the mine life cycle, and are located primarily in the Americas and Australia.
Triple Flag’s disclosures and SEC filings reference specific mining operations where it holds stream or royalty interests, including assets such as Northparkes, Cerro Lindo, Fosterville, Buriticá, Young‑Davidson, Camino Rojo, Florida Canyon, Kensington, Minera Florida, Hope Bay, Arthur and others. The company also notes exposure to commodities beyond gold and silver in certain cases, such as copper and lithium, through interests like the Johnson Camp Mine in Arizona and the Tres Quebradas lithium project in Argentina. However, Triple Flag consistently characterizes itself as a precious metals streaming and royalty company focused on gold and silver exposure.
Streams, royalties and revenue exposure
Triple Flag’s portfolio includes streams, under which it is entitled to purchase a portion of metal production from a mine, and royalties, under which it receives payments based on production or revenue from a property. Public disclosures describe a mix of net smelter return (NSR) royalties, gross revenue (GR) royalties and precious metals streams. Examples include a 65% silver stream on the Cerro Lindo mine (with a step‑down to 25% after a defined volume of silver deliveries), NSR royalties on gold mines such as Fosterville, Young‑Davidson, Camino Rojo and Minera Florida, and gross revenue royalties on assets like Beta Hunt, Florida Canyon and Johnson Camp Mine.
The company reports its sales in gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), which are calculated by dividing revenue from its interests by an average gold price for the relevant period. In its news releases, Triple Flag highlights GEOs sold and revenue by commodity, showing contributions from both gold and silver. The company has also discussed guidance and outlook for GEOs in future years, reflecting expected contributions from its existing portfolio and from growth projects that are advancing toward production.
Growth projects and portfolio development
Triple Flag’s public communications describe an active approach to portfolio growth through acquisitions of new streams and royalties and through the advancement of existing development‑stage assets toward production. Recent examples disclosed by the company include acquiring a 1.0% NSR royalty on the Arthur gold project in Nevada through the acquisition of Orogen Royalties Inc., purchasing additional GR royalty interests on the Johnson Camp Mine in Arizona, and entering into precious metals streams on the Arcata and Azuca projects in Peru.
The company has also highlighted the start or expected start of production at several assets where it holds interests, such as Johnson Camp Mine and Tres Quebradas, and the planned restart of the Arcata mine. Triple Flag’s disclosures indicate that these assets are expected to contribute additional GEOs over time as they ramp up, complementing existing producing assets such as Northparkes, Cerro Lindo, Buriticá, Young‑Davidson, Camino Rojo, Florida Canyon and others.
Capital allocation and shareholder returns
In addition to acquiring new interests, Triple Flag has described its approach to capital allocation in public news releases. The company has announced quarterly cash dividends on its common shares and has disclosed multiple annual increases to its quarterly dividend since its initial public offering. It has also implemented and renewed a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) on the Toronto Stock Exchange, under which it is authorized to repurchase a portion of its issued and outstanding common shares over specified periods. The company has stated that share repurchases under the NCIB are viewed as an appropriate use of funds and a mechanism for returning capital to shareholders when conditions are favorable.
Triple Flag’s filings and news releases also reference the use of an automatic share purchase plan with a designated broker to facilitate repurchases during blackout periods, and note that all repurchased shares under the NCIB are cancelled. Decisions regarding the level and timing of repurchases are described as depending on factors such as market conditions, share price and other capital deployment opportunities.

Risk disclosures and third‑party information
