Nations Royalty Corp Chief Investment Officer Derrick Pattenden joined Steve Darling from the Vancouver Resources Investment Conference to share news about the company's unique positioning as the first and largest majority Indigenous-owned publicly traded royalty company in Canada. Pattenden, who recently stepped into the CEO role after serving as Chief Investment Officer, explained the company’s mission: pooling Indigenous-owned royalty assets to unlock greater value. “We believe the Indigenous peoples of Canada are very well served to create a mining royalty company of their own,” he said, highlighting how these groups can secure high-quality royalty interests in ways others cannot. The company's model is based on consolidating royalties that Indigenous groups currently hold in isolation. By pooling them, Nations Royalty believes these assets could trade at multiples of their standalone value. Pattenden emphasized that Indigenous communities have a unique advantage due to their proximity to resource development and involvement in key agreements related to environmental, legal, and financial terms—including royalties. Looking ahead to 2026, Pattenden outlined two major catalysts: progress on the Seabridge Gold KSM project, where Nations Royalty holds EBAY payments, and the announcement of a new Indigenous partnership that would launch the pooling initiative. He also noted the company’s efforts to support Indigenous groups in negotiating fair royalty agreements. #proactiveinvestors #nationsroyaltycorp #tsxv #nrc #otcqb #nrycf #vric2026 #MiningRoyalties #IndigenousBusiness #SeabridgeGold #KSMProject #MiningInvestment #Royalties #ResourceDevelopment #TSXV #OTCQB #DerrickPattenden #CanadaMining #ProactiveInvestors #NaturalResou
