Nations Royalty, an Indigenous royalty company, was listed on the TSX Venture Exchange on Friday.

The new royalty company, founded by the Nisga'a Nation and mining entrepreneur Frank Giustra, aims to become a top global royalty company specialising in indigenous-owned royalties and revenue streams. 

"I believe that Nations Royalty will be as impactful in the mining and royalty space as when we founded Wheaton Precious Metals and introduced the concept of Metals Streaming in 2004," Giustra said.

Shares were at C$0.89 in Toronto's morning trade on Monday, slightly down from their listing price of C$0.9.
