“This transaction demonstrates what active, patient capital can achieve,” said Robert D. Cudney, CEO, President and Founder of Northfield. “We acquired Voyageur when the market saw little value in its royalty portfolio. Through strategic positioning and disciplined execution, we’ve delivered a premium transaction while creating a vehicle that gives investors direct exposure to copper—a metal critical to the energy transition and facing a significant supply deficit.”

Active Management Drives Outcomes

Article content

Unlike passive holding companies, Northfield typically takes an active role in its portfolio investments—securing board representation, providing strategic guidance, and structuring transactions to maximize shareholder value. This hands-on approach transformed Voyageur from a dormant junior exploration company into a royalty vehicle that was transaction-ready and attracted a strategic combination with Evolve.
