Evolve Royalties CEO on Building a Copper-Focused Portfolio
Evolve Royalties CEO Joseph de la Plante joins Ian Wagner to explain why the company is building a growing copper-focused royalty portfolio across the globe. He describes how Evolve buys existing royalties and finances projects, seeking exposure to long-life mines without operating them. The conversation covers cash-flowing interests at Highland Valley Copper and Copper Mountain, expected production at McIlvenna Bay, and exploration upside at Gaspé Copper and Sunnyside. De la Plante also discusses a tin royalty in Namibia, a lithium project in Argentina, and how Evolve weighs geology, operators, and contract terms when assessing future deals.
