Metalla Royalty & Streaming (NYSE American: MTA; TSXV: MTA) CEO Brett Heath joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends at the 35th BMO Metals & Mining Conference as the royalty sector sees a surge in billion-dollar deals.
Following a $4.3 billion copper stream and other large transactions, Heath says the activity reflects structural change tied to higher metal prices and looming supply needs. “We’re entering a period of time right now where there’s going to be a new copper build cycle,” he said, arguing royalties and streams will play a growing role in financing multi-billion-dollar projects.
Heath also discusses Tether’s expanding ownership in the sector, gold-token dividends, and increasing generalist investor interest. After reporting record 2025 revenue of just under $12 million, which he called “a step change,” Metalla is targeting roughly 35% compound annual growth toward 2030 while trading near 0.6x NAV at spot prices.
