Wheaton Precious Metals Secures Major Streaming Deals to Fuel Growth

Wheaton Precious Metals secures major streaming deals in Peru and Australia, aiming for 1.2M oz production by 2030 after a record $2.3B revenue year.

Wheaton Precious Metals has laid the groundwork for a significant expansion in its output, finalizing multi-billion dollar streaming agreements in early April 2026. The company is targeting a 50 percent increase in production by the end of the decade, with a landmark deal in Peru taking center stage.

Strategic Expansion and Record Performance

These substantial investments follow a highly successful 2025 fiscal year. The company posted record revenue of $2.3 billion, achieving a net profit margin exceeding 63 percent. Despite the capital outlay for the new agreements, management anticipates returning to a net cash position within one year. Total operating cash flow through 2028 is projected to surpass $10 billion.

The equity has demonstrated strong performance, advancing more than 65 percent over a twelve-month period, though it has retreated approximately 10 percent in the last month. Shares currently trade at 117.90 euros, slightly below the 50-day moving average. The firm's ambitious goal is to boost production to 1.2 million gold equivalent ounces by 2030.

Cornerstone Agreement at Antamina Mine

A pivotal silver streaming arrangement with a subsidiary of BHP represents a major milestone for Wheaton. The company is paying $4.3 billion to secure 33.75 percent of the silver production from Peru's Antamina mine until a threshold of 100 million ounces is delivered. Following that, the share will reduce to 22.5 percent. Market researchers estimate this single project will account for roughly 18 percent of Wheaton's total corporate production.

First Foray into the Australian Market

In a parallel strategic move, Wheaton is entering the Australian market for the first time. The company will provide an upfront payment of $275 million for gold and silver streaming rights linked to the Jervois copper project. Production at the site is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2027. This geographic diversification adds another stable revenue stream to the portfolio for the coming decade.
