Ecora Royalties is a London-based company that collects royalties and streams from mining operations around the world. Instead of running mines itself, it owns financial agreements that entitle it to a percentage of the revenue or production from mines operated by other companies. Its portfolio covers commodities like copper, cobalt, uranium, and other materials used in energy transition technologies, making it closely tied to the demand for clean energy infrastructure.

Ecora makes money by receiving cash payments from mining partners based on how much material those mines produce or sell, without bearing the day-to-day costs of mining. It operates globally, with assets in North America, Australia, and Africa, and its business model provides naturally high margins since it avoids most operating expenses. The company's growth depends heavily on commodity prices and whether its partner mines ramp up production as planned — a slowdown in either could meaningfully reduce its cash flows.
