Company Overview

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE:WPM) is a precious metals streaming company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. Rather than operating mines directly, the company provides upfront financing to mining companies in exchange for the right to purchase a portion of the future production from specific mining projects at predetermined prices.

Wheaton’s streaming portfolio is primarily focused on gold and silver, with additional exposure to palladium and cobalt through certain agreements. Its business model gives mining partners access to capital for development and expansion while providing Wheaton with long-term access to precious metals production. The company’s streams are linked to mines operated by third parties across regions including North America, South America, Europe and Australia.

The company was founded as Silver Wheaton and changed its name to Wheaton Precious Metals in 2017 to reflect its expanded focus on gold and other metals. Wheaton is led by Randy Smallwood, who serves as president and chief executive officer.
