In this episode we have a returning guest who appeared by in May 2020 (Episode 79). Adam Davidson is the CEO Trident Resources is a diversified mining royalty and streaming company, providing investors with exposure to a mix of base and precious metals, bulk materials (excluding thermal coal) and battery metals. Adam came through the US Marine Corps into the financial sector and worked for a few equity funds and a mine services company before joining Trident back in 2019 as their CEO and been there since. He discusses how the company grew from having 1 royalty when we last spoke in 2020 to over 20 royalties now and what they are looking to achieve in the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trident Resources has experienced significant growth since their last podcast episode, going from having one royalty to now having over 20 royalties in their portfolio. The company focuses on a diversified approach, with exposure to base metals, precious metals, bulk materials, and battery metals royalty streams. Their objective is to provide investors with a means to gain exposure to the mining sector through a single share, offering inbuilt diversification and potential for steady dividends. The company is actively working on new transactions and aims to continue expanding their portfolio while also lowering their cost of capital through leveraging their asset base. They are active on social media platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn for updates and encourage interested individuals to sign up for their newsletter on their website. BEST MOMENTS "We want to get to the point where a generalist investor… could buy a share in Trident and through that single share have got exposure to the depth and breadth of the mining sector." "The royalty in its most basic form entitles the royalty holder to a percentage of revenue from the underlying operations." "We see opportunities in gold royalties that maybe fly below the radar of some of our peers." "Lowering our cost of capital is a key to this business… Ultimately, where we'd like to get to is a revolver, whereby you can draw down the facility to make an acquisition, pay it back from cash flow and repeat that process."
