Why precious metal mining companies work with us

Reduced earnings volatiltiy
Borrowing in what you produce takes out the price risk, reducing the earning volatility. Companies which produce gold, silver, and platinum are happy to borrow those metals.
Non-dilutive financing
Financing mine expansion through selling royalties or further equity issuance is highly dilutive. Such borrowing is frustrating to the equity investors in that company.
Old school relationship banking
Auric Alternatives practices relationship banking. Just as returning to the gold standard is "Old School" our aim is to build long-term partnerships with our stakholders.
