In 2017, @Elemental_Royal CEO Fred Bell met Jim Paterson and John Robins in Zurich, marking the beginning of the company's relationship with Discovery Group. At the time, Elemental was a small private royalty company looking to enter the North American capital markets. Today, the former Discovery Group member is approaching US$100 million in annual revenue, and has announced its largest single transaction to date, a US$290 million acquisition of five streams and royalties. In the inaugural episode of Forward Looking Statements, Fred joins Jim Paterson and Brien Lundin to reflect on Elemental's evolution, the relationships that helped shape its journey, and why reputation is everything in the mining industry.
