Gold Royalty Corp. (NYSE: GROY) has reported a 90% year-over-year increase in total revenue, land agreement proceeds, and interest for the quarter, reaching $2.6 million—up from $1.4 million in the same period of 2023.

This marks an approximate 160% increase in revenue alone, driven by successful strategic acquisitions and stronger-than-expected performance from key assets such as the Côté, Canadian Malartic, Borborema, and Cozamin mines.

A major driver behind Gold Royalty’s growth has been its royalty interest in IAMGOLD’s (TSX: IMG) Côté Gold Mine, which continues to ramp up operations. IAMGOLD recently announced that the mine hit a record throughput of 40,900 tonnes per day (tpd) in September 2024, 14% above its nameplate capacity. This follows a scheduled shutdown earlier that month, and the mine is expected to reach 90% of its full capacity—36,000 tpd—by the end of 2024.

The Côté Gold Mine’s ramp-up is crucial to Gold Royalty’s revenue performance, as the mine plays a central role in the company’s overall portfolio. According to a company spokesperson, “The operational success at Côté underscores the value of our royalty model, as the mine’s continued progress supports both short-term cash flow and long-term growth.”

In addition to organic growth from its existing royalty portfolio, Gold Royalty’s strategic acquisitions have been pivotal in driving revenue. The company’s recent moves include the addition of interests in several high-potential mining projects, positioning it for continued growth through the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

For the first nine months of 2024, Gold Royalty recorded a 130% year-over-year increase in total revenue, land agreement proceeds, and interest, reaching $9.0 million. This includes $6.7 million in revenue generated from royalties, which is equivalent to 4,017 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs).

The GEO metric is an important one for Gold Royalty, as it allows the company to standardize its diverse income streams across multiple precious and base metals into a single figure based on the value of gold. By the end of the third quarter, Gold Royalty had generated 1,051 GEOs for Q3 2024, up from 740 GEOs in Q3 2023.

With the company projecting between 6,500 and 7,000 GEOs for the full year of 2024, Gold Royalty expects total revenues, land agreement proceeds, and interest to fall between $13 million and $14 million by year-end, another record for the company.

Gold Royalty last traded at $1.49 on the NYSE.
