INTRODUCTION
We began searching for our first gold streams during the depths of the global financial crisis in 2008. We had little in the way of cash, but we made up for our lack of resources with a big vision; to reshape the finance landscape in the mining sector with innovative financing solutions. Stream and royalty finance has since become a mainstream funding source for resource companies of all sizes, and Sandstorm has been a significant part of that evolution. In fact, during the last five years close to $14 billion in stream and royalty transactions were completed in the mining industry.
2018 / 2019 Asset Handbook SANDSTORM GOLD LTD. 5 ASSET HANDBOOK INTRODUCTION
At the end of 2009, Sandstorm had three gold streams in the portfolio, an outlook for modest 187 cash flow and the drive to aggressively grow 174 and diversify our asset base. With over 185 streams and royalties and 23 cash flowing
assets at the time of this writing, I am proud 135 of what we have been able to accomplish thus far.
