Franco-Nevada (FNV) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Franco-Nevada Corporation (NYSE:FNV) is a gold-focused royalty and streaming company. Rather than operating mines directly, it provides capital to mining and natural resource companies in exchange for the right to receive a portion of future production or revenue. This business model gives Franco-Nevada exposure to commodity production while generally limiting its direct responsibility for operating and capital costs.

The company holds a diversified portfolio of royalties, streams and other interests tied primarily to gold, as well as silver, platinum-group metals, iron ore and other minerals. Franco-Nevada also has interests in energy assets, including oil and natural gas. Its portfolio is geographically diversified across mining and resource-producing regions in the Americas, Australia, Africa and Europe.

Franco-Nevada traces its origins to 1983, when it was established as a precious-metals royalty company. It was acquired by Newmont Mining Corporation in 2002 and subsequently became an independent publicly traded company again through an initial public offering in 2007. The company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and is led by Chief Executive Officer Paul Brink.
