HMK Royalty was founded in 2022 by three industry professionals with decades of combined experience in geological surveying, project development, claim staking, and regulatory navigation. We generate and transact mineral exploration projects across the U.S. and Canada — and on every deal we close, we retain an NSR royalty on the property. The result is two complementary business lines: active deal flow today, and a compounding royalty book for the long term.
Most exploration companies raise capital to drill the ground they hold. We take a different path: we generate the ground, sell it to companies whose business model is drilling, and keep an NSR royalty on every transaction. That gives HMK long-term, no-cost exposure to discovery upside without the dilution treadmill of running our own drill programs.
For partners and acquirers, we take on the early-stage geological and conveyancing risk so they can focus on what they do best: raising capital, drilling, and making discoveries. For HMK and its shareholders, the upside compounds project by project.
Land-position analysis, jurisdiction screening, historical data review, and claim availability mapping — powered by our partnership with Ellis Park Geospatial.
Claim staking, in-house conveyancing, permitting support, and land-package assembly — built for a clean, investor-ready structure on day one.
Technical maps, geological synthesis, target ranking, and investor-facing materials — designed to clear due diligence and close transactions quickly.
Deal structuring, option agreements, and clean handoff to the public-company acquirer or JV partner. Capital and shares come in, the project goes out.
HMK keeps a Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty — typically 1–2% — on every property we transact. If the acquirer drills, develops, or sells the asset to a producer, HMK rides along with no further capital outlay.
Bonito (New Mexico). Silver Belle (Nevada). Ore Drag (Idaho). Bales (Washington). Black Star, Gray Eagle, Betty Jumbo, Lane Mine. The U.S. critical-minerals push — driven by tariff policy, defense procurement, and supply-chain de-risking — has created the most active period in HMK's history. Our U.S. portfolio now matches our Canadian one in project count.
We've structured deals with publicly listed exploration and mining companies across the TSX, TSX-V, CSE, and OTCQB — including Nation Gold Corp, Advanced Gold Exploration, Troy Minerals, AUQ Gold, Nio Strategic Metals, and American Salars Lithium. Our affiliated geospatial partner, Ellis Park Geospatial, provides AI-driven spatial analysis that supports every project we generate.
