The company benefits from relatively low cash costs associated with its gold streams and royalties, positioning it favorably amid rising gold prices. Sandstorm's commitment to enhancing its net asset value per share through reduced net debt and share repurchases demonstrates a strategic alignment with shareholder interests.
