Derrick Pattenden, Chief Investment Officer of Nations Royalty, speaks from the 2025 Rule Symposium to detail how Canada’s only majority Indigenous-owned public company is transforming the mining royalty landscape. With a CA$70M market cap, CA$5.7M in cash, zero debt, and a strategy built on equity-based partnerships, Nations Royalty is uniting high-quality mining royalties held by Indigenous communities into one powerful, value-driven vehicle. Core assets include KSM (Seabridge Gold), Brucejack (Newmont), and the Premier and Red Mountain gold projects, giving the company exposure to some of the most strategic properties in northern British Columbia.
Derrick explains how the company’s leadership—backed by industry veterans like Frank Giustra and ex-Franco-Nevada CFO Alec Morrison—has built a team blending technical mining experience with deep Indigenous ties. Nations Royalty’s structure allows it to expand through collaboration, not competition, by acting as a trusted advisor and partner to Indigenous nations. This approach is already driving negotiations to pool additional royalties across Canada, unlocking greater value for both shareholders and communities.
With billions in unpooled Indigenous royalties still untapped, the company sees enormous potential for growth and long-term revaluation. If you're passionate about smart investing, Indigenous economic sovereignty, and the future of mining, like, comment, share, and subscribe now.
