What Wheaton Precious Metals does

Streaming company that pays miners upfront cash for the right to buy their silver and gold output at fixed low prices.

Pays miners upfront for the right to buy part of a mine's output at a fixed low price, then sells the metal at market prices, so its margin is the gap and it carries no mine operating costs. Gold and silver streams carry the business. It was called Silver Wheaton until 2017.
