Rick Rule: Copper Has WAY More Potential Than Gold
Key Highlights
brief- Rick highlights Nations Royalty as an Aboriginal-controlled royalty company that can out-compete other royalty firms on deals with Aboriginal communities in Canada thanks to cultural familiarity.
Major copper producers need roughly $250 billion just to hold production steady — and they don't have the capital, opening a financing boom for streamers. Wheaton Precious and Franco-Nevada could be the biggest winners — silver byproducts from copper mines earn much higher multiples inside a streamer. Rule is rotating out of Franco, Wheaton, and Agnico into smaller, more speculative juniors to front-run the coming M&A wave. Most majors face a five-year depletion problem — only Agnico and Goldfield, Rule says, have near-term production covered. A red flag in royalty M&A: rapid capital deployment without a structural edge usually signals overpayment, not bargain hunting.
Live Q&A with Rick Rule, Rudi Fronk, and Steve Barton
Key Highlights
brief- Fronk says Nations Royalty acquired the Nisga'a Nation's net profits interest in KSM under Seabridge's impact benefit agreement and has since sold that interest on, describing the company as now one of Seabridge's bigger supporters of the project.
- Nations Royalty is taking part in the Natural Resources Investment Symposium, where attendees can put questions to it alongside Seabridge and hear the Taltan and Nisga'a nations' own view of the project.
Seabridge's KSM is now the world's largest undeveloped gold project by reserves and resources, and second-largest for copper. Fronk argues capital efficiency is the real draw: at current metal prices after-tax NPV reaches $35 billion against a $6.4 billion build. Over $1 billion of roads, camps and grid tie-in is already built, so an incoming partner inherits spending rather than starting from zero. The remaining risk is a tunnel dispute with Tudor; both sides want a negotiated fix because neither wants a court trial. Nearly half of $750 million in on-site construction spending already flows to First Nations companies under impact benefit agreements.
Live Q&A with Rick Rule, Rudi Fronk, and Steve Barton 📱
Key Highlights
detailed- The guest says the Niska Nation has sold the net profits interest it received under its KSM impact benefit agreement to Nations Royalty, which has since become one of the project's bigger supporters and wants to see KSM built.
- He explains that Nations Royalty's royalty is drawn from the mineral tax the eventual builder of Seabridge's project would pay, so the payments depend on a joint venture partner coming in and building.
- Rick Rule tells attendees that Nations Royalty can give investors a third-party view of the Niska and Tahltan Nations' own relationship with KSM and the value they see in it.
KSM is described as the world's largest undeveloped gold project by reserves and resources, and its second largest for copper. At $4,400 gold, net present value (what future cash flow is worth today) hits $35 billion after tax, with payback under two years. Life-of-mine production cost sits below $500 an ounce once copper, silver and molybdenum are credited against the gold. The main blocker is a haulage tunnel dispute with a neighbouring project; a permit amendment waits on that company's mine plan. Only about seven companies worldwide have the technical, financial and social capacity to partner on a project this size.
Kody Penner, VP, Corporate Development of Nations Royalty |Rule Symposium 2026: Rick Rule interviews
Key Highlights
detailed- The guest argues the company's edge is consolidating royalty streams that Canadian First Nations already hold on major producing mines, which he says has never been done, giving investors what he calls the best pipeline in junior mining royalties.
- His founding First Nation partner, the Nisga'a, rolled five impact benefit agreements spanning about 30% of the Golden Triangle into the company for 77% ownership, diluted to roughly 72% by a $15 million raise, and has signalled to the market it will never sell.
- The portfolio is Bruce Jack, the Premier and Red Mountain assets, a 2% net smelter return on the past-producing Kitsult molybdenum mine targeted for around 2029, and the Seabridge KSM royalty.
- At about a $150 million market cap the shares trade at a discount the guest attributes to investors waiting to see the next acquisition; he expects one announcement this year out of talks he describes as very advanced, and expects further groups to follow once the model is proven.
- He says rising Bruce Jack payments plus interest on treasury cash should make the company free cash flow neutral soon, and notes the register is tightly held with only about 1.5% owned by management.
Impact benefit agreements already give indigenous groups royalties on most major Canadian mines, signed over the past 30 to 40 years. Nations Royalty, 72% owned by the Nisga'a Nation, consolidates those royalty streams and trades publicly at roughly $150 million market cap. Its biggest prize is a royalty on Seabridge's KSM deposit, which holds 47 million gold ounces and 7.5 billion pounds of copper in reserve. Cash flow is uneven: Bruce Jack payments keep rising, but Cambria's Premier and Red Mountain mines went into care and maintenance. The founding nation holds 72% and management 1.5%; the guest argues that thin float could sharply move the stock on any new deal.
