Trade yah indeed.

They had better be pretty pretty.

How about paper that says you own the NSR of a placer mine in Guyuana? Ecuador?

I believe that 6% royalty that seems to be so innocuous to ralph-ralph. (He had an attack when I mentioned it is not) is really not that great.

You can multiply a royalty by from 3 to 7 times to calculate its effect on net profit. At $700 an ounce all-up costs, (Newmont average) and 50% taxation, it is pretty close to 5 times. The total tax in this case is 77% of raw profit.

Not goodie, good, good, good.
