31. Segment disclosure

Following the acquisition of Barkerville in November 2019, the chief operating decision-maker organizes and manages the business under two operating segments: (i) acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests, and (ii) the exploration, evaluation and development of mining projects. All of the Company's assets and revenues are attributable to the precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests operating segment, with the exception of mining interests, plant and equipment, and exploration and evaluation assets, which are attributable to the exploration and development of mining projects operating segment. Prior to the acquisition of Barkerville, the Company had only one operating segment, which was the acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests. The comparative figures have been restated to conform to the actual segments.

Royalty, stream and other interests - Geographic revenues

All of the Company's revenues are attributable to the precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests operating segment.  Geographic revenues from the sale of metals and diamonds received or acquired from in-kind royalties, streams and other interests are determined by the location of the mining operations giving rise to the royalty, stream or other interest. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, royalty, stream and other interest revenues were mainly earned from the following jurisdictions:

    North America(i)     South America      
Australia

  (i) 89% of revenues from North America were generated from Canada and the United States in 2019 (94% in 2018).  

For the year ended December 31, 2019, one royalty interest generated revenues of $61.1 million ($58.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018), which represented 44% of revenues (46% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018) (excluding revenues generated from the offtake interests).

For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenues generated from precious metals and diamonds represented 94% and 5%, respectively, of total revenues (84% and 13% excluding offtakes, respectively). For the year ended December 31, 2018, revenues generated from precious metals and diamonds represented 96% and 3%, respectively, of total revenues (85% and 11% excluding offtakes, respectively).
