- Management emphasized the Streaming Model’s competitive advantage, with 100% revenue from streams, and announced two new transactions: a $300 million upfront payment for the Hemlo mine and a $670 million stream for the Spring Valley project.
- The company reaffirmed its 2025 production guidance of 600,000-670,000 GEOs and highlighted a 40% production growth target by 2029, supported by six development projects.

- Net earnings rose 138% YoY to $367 million, with adjusted net earnings up 84% to $281 million.
- Operating cash flow reached $383 million, a 51% YoY increase, driven by leverage from fixed per-ounce payments (76% of revenue).

- The company made $250 million in upfront payments for streams, including $102 million from CMOC’s buyback of the Cangrejos-Pimpiana stream, delivering an 185% pre-tax IRR.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Growth Profile**: Wheaton’s 2025-2029 growth pipeline includes 250,000+ GEOs, with 90% of projects in construction or advanced development. This compares favorably to peers, who rely on higher-risk restarts or jurisdictions.
- **Silver Exposure**: Wheaton’s 39% silver revenue share positions it to benefit from silver’s record prices. The company is actively pursuing additional silver opportunities, including byproduct streams from base metal producers.
- **Spring Valley Project**: The $670 million stream on Waterton’s Nevada project is structured with $150 million in cost overrun support. Wheaton expects 29,000-30,000 GEOs/year in the first five years, with exploration potential for mine life extension.
- **Antamina Depreciation**: A 50% YoY drop in depletion rates was attributed to Antamina’s tailings expansion, which doubled reserves and reduced leverage on near-term production.
