It also engages in the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids through a third-party marketing agent. Franco-Nevada manages its portfolio with a strong emphasis on precious metals, making it a key player in the mining finance sector.

Franco-Nevada Corporation is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol FNV. Its financials are reported in US Dollars (USD). The company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and its shares trade on the US market, providing exposure to global investors.

Franco-Nevada operates in the Basic Materials sector and specifically within the Gold industry. As a royalty and streaming company, it is not a traditional mining operator but rather provides financing to mining companies in exchange for a percentage of production or revenue. This model allows it to benefit from gold and other precious metals prices without the operational risks of mining.

Franco-Nevada has a global presence with operations and assets in South America, Central America, Mexico, the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and Africa. Its headquarters are in Toronto, Canada, where the company was founded in 1986. The company's diversified geographic portfolio helps mitigate regional risks and provides exposure to some of the world's most prolific mining regions.

Franco-Nevada makes money through its royalty and streaming business model. It provides upfront capital to mining companies in exchange for the right to purchase a percentage of future production at a predetermined price (streams) or to receive a percentage of revenue or production (royalties). The company's portfolio is heavily weighted toward precious metals, particularly gold and silver, but also includes other mining and energy assets. Revenue from energy assets comes from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids via a third-party marketing agent. This model generates recurring cash flows with low operating costs.
