Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. - WPM

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is a Canadian precious-metals streaming company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm operates a specialized mining finance model, providing upfront capital to mining companies in exchange for the right to purchase a portion of their future gold, silver, palladium, platinum, or cobalt production at predetermined prices. Wheaton does not explore for or operate mines itself; instead, it holds a global portfolio of streaming agreements and royalties tied to long-life, low-cost mining assets, with significant exposure to projects in the Americas and other major mining jurisdictions. Its core activity is acquiring metal under these contracts and selling the delivered production into global commodity markets. This structure positions Wheaton as a key provider of non-dilutive funding to the mining sector, supporting mine construction, expansion, acquisitions, and balance-sheet optimization for its partners. Founded in 2004, Wheaton Precious Metals today is viewed as a leading participant in the precious-metals streaming and royalty industry, offering broad access to diversified precious metal production through its contractual portfolio.
