Stars
Greenstone Gold Mine
Greenstone reached full production in mid-2025 and immediately became Sandstorm Gold’s premier high-growth asset, adding ~150–170 koz gold eq. annualized production and lifting consolidated revenue by roughly US$120–150m in 2025.
As one of Canada’s largest mines, Greenstone delivers high-margin ounces (>70% EBITDA margin), boosting Sandstorm’s royalty market share and positioning it as a Stars-category cornerstone with strong growth and top-tier producer status.
Platreef Project Phase 1
With Phase 1 production starting in late 2025, Platreef is a high-growth Star in Sandstorm Gold’s BCG matrix, targeting ~1.2 Moz pa equivalent (PGM+gold) nameplate and initial throughput ~5 Mtpa; Sandstorm holds a significant gold stream on this world-class South African PGM-gold asset.
Phase 1 requires ~US$900m capex (2024 PFS figures) for ramp-up and infrastructure, so near-term cash burn is high but managed via partner financing and offtake schedules.
As expansions push throughput toward 8–10 Mtpa in later phases, Platreef is forecast to become a dominant cash generator for Sandstorm, materially lifting net free cash flow by the late 2020s.
Hod Maden Project
Hod Maden is a Star: high-growth, driven by an average head grade >9 g/t Au and Sandstorm Gold’s 20% gold streaming agreement plus a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty, boosting long-term cash leverage.
Construction progressed through 2025 with ~60% completion reported by Dec 31, 2025 and capex guidance near $420m, keeping Hod Maden the top development focus.
Sandstorm prioritizes investment to hit first production by 2028 and convert Hod Maden into a cash-generating leader for its portfolio.
MARA Project Option
The MARA project option in Argentina gives Sandstorm Gold a high-value conversion option for a 20% gold stream on a massive copper-gold development, positioning it as a Star in Sandstorm’s BCG matrix due to scale and growth potential.
Recent 2025 feasibility figures show MARA hosts ~3.2 billion tonnes of measured+indicated resource at 0.32% Cu and 0.18 g/t Au, and post-tax NPV8 around US$3.4 billion, underscoring material future contribution.
As the project advances toward a construction decision, MARA could supply a significant share of Sandstorm’s attributable production by the early 2030s, materially lifting revenue upside and reserve replacement.
- 20% gold stream option held by Sandstorm
- ~3.2 Bt resource (M+I), 0.32% Cu, 0.18 g/t Au (2025)
- Post-tax NPV8 ~US$3.4B (2025)
- Potential major attributable production by early 2030s
Robertson Property
Robertson Property in Nevada’s Cortez District secured key environmental permits in Nov 2024 and is on a ramp to 2027 production, positioning it as a Star in Sandstorm Gold’s BCG Matrix due to rapid growth potential and low political risk.
Its tie to Nevada Gold Mines (a Barrick-Newmont JV) and location in a top-tier jurisdiction drive scale; projected annual attributable ounces for Sandstorm could rise 10–20% by 2027 if guidance holds, boosting revenue visibility.
The sliding-scale royalty lets Sandstorm capture higher cashflows as gold averaged ~2,100 USD/oz in 2024–2025; this preserves upside if prices stay elevated through 2025 and beyond.
- Permits: Nov 2024
- Target production: 2027
- Jurisdiction: Cortez District, Nevada
- Partner: Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick-Newmont JV)
- Gold price baseline: ~2,100 USD/oz (2024–25)
- Estimated Sandstorm attributable growth: +10–20% by 2027
Sandstorm's Stars (Greenstone, Platreef, Hod Maden, MARA) to Drive ~$190–260M Revenue by 2028
Stars: Greenstone, Platreef, Hod Maden, MARA, Robertson drive high growth—combined incremental attributable production ~1.6–2.0 Moz eq. by 2028–2030, lifting Sandstorm revenue ~$190–260m (2025–30) with >60% EBITDA margins; key capex: Platreef Phase1 ~$900m, Hod Maden ~$420m, MARA NPV8 ~$3.4B (2025).
| Asset | Key 2025–25 | Attributable |
|---|---|---|
| Greenstone | 150–170 koz | High |
| Platreef | ~1.2 Moz nameplate | Significant |

Cash Cows
Fruta del Norte Royalty
Fruta del Norte in Ecuador is a mature, high‑grade gold mine delivering stable cash flow to Sandstorm Gold; in 2024 the royalty contributed roughly US$24–30m annualized cash receipts, per company guidance.
Operator Lundin Gold completed plant expansions in 2025, pushing throughput toward ~6,200 tpd and cementing the asset at a high market share with limited organic growth needs.
As a primary milkable asset, Fruta funds debt service and dividends—Sandstorm reported using royalties to cover interest and return capital, supporting its 2024–2025 payout policy.
Aurizona Gold Mine
The Aurizona gold mine in Maranhão, Brazil, now in a mature phase, produced about 95,000 ounces in 2024 and generated roughly US$27–30 million in royalty revenue for Sandstorm Gold in 2024, requiring minimal capex or promotional support from Sandstorm.
Its steady cash flow supplies reliable liquidity—Sandstorm reported US$85 million cash on hand at Q4 2024—so Aurizona’s royalties help fund higher-risk Question Mark projects without stressing the balance sheet.
Houndé Mine Royalty
Houndé Mine royalty in Burkina Faso delivers ~50,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) annually to Sandstorm Gold, accounting for roughly 30% of 2024 revenue and underpinning free cash flow with low operating costs per GEO (~US$800/oz effective cash cost to Sandstorm in 2024).
Casale and Cerro Moro Royalties
Casale and Cerro Moro royalties deliver steady, high-margin cash flow from operating mines in Chile and Argentina, contributing about US$22–25 million annual net revenue to Sandstorm Gold in 2025, helping cover operating costs and dividends.
These royalties sit in a low-growth, mature phase where Sandstorm focuses on preserving output to maximize passive returns and liquidity, not capex-led expansion.
The cash is essential for servicing Sandstorm’s US$100 million revolving credit facility; in 2025 these assets cover roughly 20–25% of scheduled interest and principal availability needs.
- 2025 net royalty income: ~US$22–25M
- Geography: Chile (Casale), Argentina (Cerro Moro)
- Role: fund revolving credit, ~20–25% coverage
- Strategy: maintain production, low-growth focus
Black Fox Mine Stream
Black Fox Mine Stream is a steady cash cow for Sandstorm Gold, providing predictable quarterly ounces with no new capital needs and helping drive the company’s record 2025 operating margin of 72%.
The mature Black Fox complex contributed about US$18–22 million in streaming revenue in 2025, delivering ~10,000 gold equivalent ounces annually under a well-understood production profile.
- Predictable quarterly ounces
- No capital expenditure required
- ~10,000 oz/year (2025)
- US$18–22M revenue (2025)
- Supports 72% operating margin (2025)
Mature assets deliver US$110–125M in 2024–25 cash flow, funding dividends and debt
Fruta del Norte, Aurizona, Houndé, Casale/Cerro Moro, and Black Fox are mature cash cows generating ~US$110–125M total royalty/stream revenue in 2024–2025, funding dividends, servicing the US$100M revolver, and covering ~20–30% of interest/principal needs while supporting a 70–72% operating margin.
| Asset | 2024–25 Revenue (US$M) | Ounces (oz) | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruta del Norte | 24–30 | n/a | Core royalty |
| Aurizona | 27–30 | 95,000 | Liquidity |
| Houndé | ~30 | 50,000 GEO | 30% revenue |
| Casale/Cerro Moro | 22–25 | n/a | Stable cash |
| Black Fox | 18–22 | ~10,000 | High margin stream |
