In this episode of the Investing, Markets & Money podcast from The Armchair Trader, we talk with Brett Heath, CEO of Metalla Royalty & Streaming (NYSE/TSX: MTA) — an innovative company in the gold and mining royalty space.

Brett explains how royalty companies make money without ever operating a mine, the growth story behind Metalla’s $700 million market cap, and why royalties can offer investors exposure to gold, silver, and copper without the same risks faced by traditional miners.

Topics covered:

• How royalty and streaming models work

• Metalla’s $6M investment that became a major gold discovery

• Why the royalty model scales with minimal overhead

• Outlook for gold, silver, and copper in 2025–2030

• The next growth phase for Metalla Royalty
