Wheaton Precious Metals Company Profile

Wheaton Precious Metals is a precious metals streaming company that provides mining companies with upfront financing in exchange for the right to purchase a portion of the metals produced by their mines. Its streams cover gold and silver, as well as smaller amounts of palladium and cobalt.

Rather than operating mines itself, Wheaton works with mining companies around the world. Under its agreements, it typically makes an initial payment and additional payments for metals delivered, giving it exposure to mine production without directly managing mining operations.

The company was founded as Silver Wheaton in 2004 and adopted the Wheaton Precious Metals name in 2017.
