Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (formerly Sandstorm Resources) is a Canadian company that provides funding to mining companies in exchange for royalties, principally in the form of net smelter returns and streams.
It focuses on precious metals but did spin off Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd. in 2010 as a separate TSX Venture Exchange-listed company to make volumetric production payment transactions in the base metal and fossil fuel sectors, then bought it back in 2014.
The firm graduated from the TSX Venture Exchange to the Toronto Stock Exchange and began listing shares on the NYSE in 2012. On July 7, 2025, it was announced that Royal Gold (RGI) would acquire Sandstorm Gold for a price around $3.5 billion with the deal expected to close by the end of the year.
On October 20, 2025, RGI announced that it had completed the purchase of the company.
