“You never learn when you’re successful, you only learn when you do things wrong…so I’m extremely well educated.”
Doug Silver, PM at Orion Resource Partners & Jamie Keech at the Beaver Creek Previous Metals Summit
The Man In The Mining Hall Of Fame
Doug Silver is a portfolio manager at Orion Resource Partners, an alternative investment management firm with $6 billion in assets under management. Before Doug’s role at Orion, he built and sold two royalty companies. One of them, International Royalty Corporation (IRC), he sold to Royal Gold for $745 million. Doug is now a member of the mining hall of fame for the many successes that he has had throughout his career.
In this conversation we discuss:
- Doug’s interesting path from zoology to geology and his family’s crater.
- Bridging the gap from a technical background to finance.
- What was behind Doug’s infamous geological database.
- How IRC started, and what the royalty space looks like today.
- What prompted the sale of IRC?
- What role does Private Equity play in mine finance today and the challenges ahead.
It is not every day that you get to sit down with someone like Doug. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
Cheers,
Co-Founder, Resource Insider
