Notable Quotes

  • "Following a robust year of drilling on our royalty lands in 2024, activity was weaker in the first half of 2025. This coincided with materially lower year-over-year oil prices, resulting in a decline of both royalty production and revenue. Despite this, because of our low-cost business model, we have maintained a strong cash flow profile, a manageable dividend payout ratio and a top-tier netback per barrel." — Brad Docherty, President & CEO
  • "We continue to actively evaluate additional royalty and mineral interest acquisitions that can be completed with our cash balance. These efforts have not translated into recent transactions as we strongly believe that prudently deploying shareholder capital on high-quality assets and at accretive metrics is more important than forcing growth." — Brad Docherty, President & CEO
