We are engaged in the acquisition and management of critical metals and mineral royalties, streams and other similar interests. We are focused on providing capital to support mineral security and independence in North America in support of accelerating domestic industry growth, including energy, defense and re-industrialization. We aim to focus on capital development opportunities encompassing all aspects of the critical metals and minerals value chain. Our royalty-based business model is designed to enable us to participate in the long-term potential cash flows and commodity upside of large-scale, strategically significant critical metals and mineral assets, with reduced exposure to operational, development or environmental risks typically associated with resource production operations. We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from growth in the global demand for critical metals and minerals and the resulting needs of operators for alternative sources of financing to fund their mining and extraction operations. Our core and only asset is the NORI Royalty, a 2.0% gross overriding royalty on the NORI Property, which is a polymetallic nodule project being developed by The Metals Company in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the north-east Pacific Ocean (the “CCZ”), located approximately 1,500 miles southwest of San Diego, California. We acquired this royalty in 2023 from The Metals Company in exchange for approximately 13.9 million 25.15% of our Common Shares and $5,000,000 in cash. To date, we have not received any royalty revenue from the NORI Royalty. The NORI Property is in development stage and is not currently permitted for commercial production, and the legal regime applicable to such permitting is uncertain. As a result, there can be no assurance that the NORI Property will ever achieve commercial production or, if commercial production is commenced, that such operations will achieve profitable and continued production levels. We believe The Metals Company is well-positioned to become a leader in nodule mining. Through its wholly-owned affiliates, Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. (“NORI”) and The Metals Company USA, LLC (“TMC USA”), The Metals Company holds an exploration license under the United Nations International Seabed Authority (“UNISA”) and has submitted two exploration licenses, one commercial recovery permit and one consolidated exploration license and commercial recovery permit application to the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) for the exploration and commercial recovery of polymetallic nodules in the area secured by our royalty agreement among us, The Metals Company and NORI (the “NORI Royalty Agreement”). The Metals Company also has strategic global partnerships with key industry participants such as Allseas Group S.A., Korea Zinc Co. Ltd., and Pacific Metals Co., Ltd. (“PAMCO”). We were incorporated on October 27, 2022 as Low Carbon Royalties Inc. In September 2025, we changed our name to The Metals Royalty Company Inc. Our principal executive offices are located in Calgary, Alberta.
