Interview with Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR RoyaltiesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/osisko-gold-royalties-tsxor-new-strategy-pays-off-as-share-take-off-6881Recording date: 4th June 2025OR Royalties presents a compelling precious metals investment opportunity following a remarkable financial transformation under CEO Jason Attew's leadership. The company has eliminated $300 million in debt over 19 months while achieving a net cash position, positioning it to capitalize on elevated gold prices and favorable market conditions.Financial Performance and OutlookThe company generated approximately $160 million in operating cash flow during 2024 and projects 40% growth to $220-230 million in 2025, assuming current commodity price levels. This exceptional cash generation stems from operational efficiency, with only 25 full-time employees managing a 195-asset portfolio. OR Royalties maintains a $5 billion market capitalization and completed $300 million in transactions during 2024, representing 10% of the total $3 billion royalty and streaming market.Strategic PositioningOR Royalties differentiates itself through geographic concentration, with 80% of assets and cash flow positioned in tier-one jurisdictions including Canada, the United States, and Australia. This focus significantly reduces geopolitical risk compared to peers with emerging market exposure. The portfolio composition aligns with current market dynamics, featuring 94% precious metals exposure comprising 67% gold and 25% silver.Portfolio OptionalityThe company's 195-asset portfolio includes only 22 currently producing assets, providing substantial embedded growth potential as higher commodity prices incentivize development of previously sub-economic projects. This optionality represents significant value that may accelerate as regulatory improvements streamline permitting processes, particularly in the United States.Investment StrategyManagement employs disciplined capital allocation, targeting transactions between $50-500 million with assets expected to generate returns within five years. The company uses conservative consensus gold pricing of $2,400 per ounce for deal evaluation rather than spot prices, ensuring sustainable risk-adjusted returns. "We price everything off consensus and consensus long-term gold because that is our primary product right now," Attew explained, emphasizing the company's conservative approach.Key Growth CatalystsRecent developments include a 24.4% equity stake and 5% net smelter return royalty in Cariboo Gold's British Columbia project, expected to commence production in 2027. The Spring Valley asset in Nevada awaits environmental approval within six weeks, potentially generating 6,000-7,000 gold equivalent ounces annually for OR Royalties once operational.Market EnvironmentThe precious metals sector benefits from macroeconomic uncertainty, monetary policy dynamics, and structural demand drivers supporting elevated commodity prices. Regulatory improvements, especially in North America, are reducing development timelines and providing greater project certainty. "Running a royalty company in this market is just fabulous, if you've got producers in the portfolio," Attew noted, highlighting favorable current conditions.Investment ConsiderationsOR Royalties offers investors leveraged exposure to precious metals appreciation without operational mining risks. The company's net cash position, strong cash flow generation, and substantial portfolio optionality position it to capitalize on continued precious metals strength while maintaining financial flexibility for accretive acquisitions. The combination of conservative deal evaluation, geographic risk mitigation, and experienced management creates a compelling investment proposition for precious metals exposure in today's market environment.View OR Royalties' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/osisko-gold-royaltiesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Gavin Ferrar, CEO of Central Asia Metals PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/central-asia-metals-lsecaml-plugging-into-profits-and-growth-in-the-base-metals-sector-6334Recording date: 1st April 2025Central Asia Metals PLC (CAML), an AIM-listed base metals producer with operations in Kazakhstan and North Macedonia, has reported strong financial results for 2024. The company generated $214 million in revenue and nearly $102 million in EBITDA, achieving an impressive 47% EBITDA margin that CEO Gavin Ferrar described as "super respectable" for a mining company.CAML ended the year with approximately $68 million in cash after generating just under $66 million in free cash flow. This strong financial position enabled the company to pay a generous full-year dividend of 18 pence per share, representing about 63% of free cash flow—significantly exceeding their stated policy of 30-50%. Ferrar explained this generous distribution as compensation to shareholders for the lack of completed M&A transactions.Despite actively pursuing acquisition opportunities (with 13 NDAs and 6 site visits last year), CAML remains selective in its M&A strategy, focusing on base metals assets that would generate at least $50 million in EBITDA. The company's strong balance sheet provides flexibility for future acquisitions without necessarily requiring shareholder dilution.Operationally, CAML has made significant progress at the Sasa mine in North Macedonia, where its paste backfill plant successfully operated for the full year in 2024, placing 240,000 tons of tailings back underground—approximately one-third of the total produced. The company is also completing a dry stack tailings plant, which will handle another 30-40% of tailings, eliminating the need for additional wet tailings facilities.In Kazakhstan, the Kounrad operation continues to outperform expectations. The Eastern dumps, which according to the original 2012 plan should have ceased production years ago, contributed approximately 27% of the company's copper last year. With production costs of 80 cents per pound against a copper price around $5, the operation maintains impressive margins.CAML has developed significant expertise in its operating regions, with Ferrar strongly defending Kazakhstan as an investment-grade country with increasing Western capital inflows. The company's established presence provides strategic advantages in navigating permitting processes and accessing regional opportunities.Beyond operational efficiency, CAML maintains a strong commitment to ESG initiatives, particularly in community engagement. The company operates its own foundation in Kazakhstan, making targeted investments including a center for disabled children, a facility for victims of domestic violence, and a recently refurbished youth center.As CAML continues to seek transformative M&A opportunities, it remains focused on maximizing returns from existing assets, controlling costs, and maintaining operational efficiency to remain profitable throughout market cycles.View Central Asia Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/central-asia-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

He highlights how Airbnb's support helped resolve his issue, showcasing the platform's commitment to customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, the duo engages in a light-hearted wine tasting segment, discussing their selections and offering humorous critiques.Shifting gears, the conversation turns to the insurance industry, where significant challenges are unfolding.

As insurtech companies continue to innovate and offer new solutions, the hosts contemplate the future of traditional insurance models. They conclude with cultural commentary on events like the Super Bowl and their impact on public sentiment and marketing strategies, reminding listeners of the importance of consumer safety in light of recent product recalls.Key Takeaways: Brokers should focus on their core competencies rather than billing.

Today, we are breaking down the global luxury group Kering. You know Kering from its brands Gucci, YSL, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and the list goes on. It's a luxury house similar to LVMH, but LVMH over the past five years is up over 40% and Kering is down over 60%. To break down Kering, I am joined by Jonathan Eng, portfolio manager at Causeway. We cover the owners and operators of Kering, the Pinault family. We also discuss wholesale distribution versus retail distribution and brand margin profiles. But Kering's core brand, Gucci, is different from much of what you see in luxury, and we spent a significant amount of time diving into it. What makes Gucci more cyclical than understated luxury? Where do we stand with Gucci today? And how does Jon think about all of this as an investor tapping into his historical context in the space? Please enjoy this breakdown of Kering.

I'm joined by Matt Brett, the lead manager of the Japan Trust at Baillie Gifford, which has continuously invested in Rakuten since 2005. Rakuten is the unique Japanese conglomerate that wasn't started over a hundred years ago and instead was part of the late nineties global internet boom.
