Its a strong HOLD with BUY on any weakness for me.
The royalty model is key in an age of increasing costs.
"We are still seeing global supply chain disruption continue, which is now driving inflation, at a time when consumer and government led demand is also increasing. Historically, inflation has tended to benefit hard assets such as commodities, and with current prices remaining buoyant, even before the Ukraine conflict, this appears to continue to be the case. Unlike the mine operators who will see this benefit eroded by increases in operating and capital costs, our royalty and streaming business model protects us as we are only exposed to the top line. In addition, the operations underlying our portfolio are well positioned on the cost curve which adds to the resilience of our portfolio as a whole."
and
"Overhead costs in the period increased by 37% to $10.7m. Over 60% of our costs are represented by staff costs and the increase in the year reflects a higher bonus accrual associated with the record level of investment in the year and record results. Elsewhere, costs continued to be incurred in relation to the Four Mile trial which was heard in November 2021, however, these costs are not likely to recur going forward."
