| Consolidation [Policy Text Block] |
a) Consolidation The Company's financial statements consolidate the accounts of OR Royalties Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise control. The Company controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to OR Royalties Inc. or its subsidiaries and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The principal subsidiary of the Company, its geographic location and its related participation as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

| Foreign currency translation [Policy Text Block] |
b) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity and associate of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The parent Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and the Company's presentation currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency, which is not the U.S. dollars, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the consolidated balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate over the reporting period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized as currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income or loss. (ii) Foreign currency transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions, including revenues and expenses, are translated into the functional currency of the respective subsidiary at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of each transaction or valuation when items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the operation's functional currencies are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of those transactions and from period-end translations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates, unless such assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, in which case, they are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value attributable to currency fluctuations of non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the consolidated statement of income or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Such changes in fair value of non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, are included in other comprehensive income or loss. |

| Financial instruments [Policy Text Block] |
c) Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. The fair value is based on quoted market prices, unless the financial instruments are not traded in an active market. In this case, fair value is determined by using valuation techniques like the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other acceptable valuation techniques. Measurement after initial recognition depends on the classification of the financial instrument. The Company has classified its financial instruments in the following categories depending on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired and their characteristics. (i) Financial assets Debt instruments Investments in debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost when the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and when the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Investments in debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value when they do not qualify for measurement at amortized cost. Financial instruments subsequently measured at fair value, including derivatives that are assets, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income or loss unless they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or sell the assets and when the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, in which case unrealized gains and losses are initially recognized in other comprehensive income or loss for subsequent reclassification to net income or loss through amortization of premiums and discounts, impairment or derecognition. Equity instruments Investments in equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value with changes recorded in net income or loss. Equity instruments that are not held for trading can be irrevocably designated at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss on initial recognition without subsequent reclassification to net income or loss. Cumulative gains and losses are transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to retained earnings or deficit upon derecognition of the investment. (ii) Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value. The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:
|

| Impairment of financial assets [Policy Text Block] |
d) Impairment of financial assets At each reporting date, the Company assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk (investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost) or if a simplified approach has been selected (Other receivables). Investments in debt instruments To the extent that a debt instrument at amortized cost is considered to have low credit risk, which corresponds to a credit rating within the investment grade category and the credit risk has not increased significantly, the loss allowance is determined on the basis of 12-month expected credit losses. If the credit risk has increased significantly, the lifetime expected credit losses are recognized. |

| Investments in associates [Policy Text Block] |
e) Investments in associates Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control. The financial results of the Company's investments in its associates are included in the Company's results according to the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of profits or losses of associates after the date of acquisition. Such share of profits and losses takes into account the attribution of the price paid to the Company's share of the associate's underlying assets and liabilities. The Company's share of profits or losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of income or loss and its share of other comprehensive income or loss of associates is included in other comprehensive income or loss. Dilution gains and losses arising from changes in interests in investments in associates are recognized in the consolidated statement of income or loss. The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that its investments in associates are impaired. If impaired, the carrying value of the Company's share of the underlying assets of associates is written down to its estimated recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use) and charged to the consolidated statement of income or loss. |

| Royalty, stream and other interests [Policy Text Block] |
f) Royalty, stream and other interests Royalty, stream and other interests consist of acquired royalty, stream and other interests in producing, development and exploration and evaluation stage properties. Royalty, stream and other interests are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The major categories of the Company's interests are producing, development and exploration and evaluation. Producing assets are those that have generated revenue from steady-state operations for the Company. Development assets are interests in projects that are under development, in permitting or feasibility stage and that in management's view, can be reasonably expected to generate steady-state revenue for the Company in the near future. Exploration and evaluation assets represent properties that are not yet in development, permitting or feasibility stage or that are speculative in nature and are expected to require several years to generate revenue, if ever, or are currently not active. Producing and development royalty, stream and other interests are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Producing royalty, stream and other interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the life of the property to which the interest relates, which is estimated using available estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves specifically associated with the properties and may include a portion of resources expected to be converted into mineral reserves, based on judgement and historical conversion rates achieved by the mine operator. Management relies on information available to it under contracts with the operators and / or public disclosures for information on proven and probable mineral reserves and resources from the operators of the producing royalty, stream and other interests. Where information is not publicly available, depletion is based on the Company's best estimate of the volumes to be delivered under the contracts. On acquisition of a producing or a development royalty, stream or other interest, an allocation of the acquisition cost may be made for the exploration potential based on its fair value. The estimated fair value of this acquired exploration potential is recorded as an asset (non-depreciable interest) on the acquisition date. Updated mineral reserve and resource information obtained from the operators of the properties is used to determine the amount to be converted from non-depreciable interest to depreciable interest. Royalty, stream and other interests for exploration and evaluation assets are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Acquisition costs of exploration and evaluation royalty, stream and other interests are capitalized and are not depleted until such time as revenue-generating activities begin.
Producing and development royalty, stream and other interests are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is assessed at the level of Cash-Generating Units (''CGU'') which, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. This is usually at the individual royalty, stream and other interest level for each property from which cash inflows are generated. Royalty, stream and other interests for exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist in accordance with IFRS 6. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. An interest that has previously been classified as exploration and evaluation is also assessed for impairment before reclassification to development or producing assets, and the impairment loss, if any, is recognized in net income or loss. |

| Goodwill [Policy Text Block] |
g) Goodwill Goodwill is recognized in a business combination if the cost of the acquisition exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is then allocated to the CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test on an annual basis as at December 31 of each year. In addition, the Company assesses indicators of impairment at each reporting period end and, if an indicator of impairment is identified, goodwill is tested for impairment at that time. If the carrying value of the CGU or group of CGUs to which goodwill is assigned exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is measured as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. |

| Current and deferred income tax [Policy Text Block] |
h) Current and deferred income tax The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of income or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or directly in equity, respectively. Current income taxes The current income tax charge is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates (and laws) that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current and are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. |

| Revenue recognition [Policy Text Block] |
i) Revenue recognition The Company generates revenue from contracts with customers under each of its royalty, stream and other interests. The Company has determined that each unit of a commodity that is delivered to a customer under a royalty, stream, or other interest arrangement is a performance obligation for the delivery of a good that is separate from each other unit of the commodity to be delivered under the same arrangement. Revenue comprises revenues from the sale of commodities received or acquired, and revenues directly earned from royalty, stream and other interests. For commodities received from royalty agreements or acquired from stream and offtake agreements, and subsequently sold, the Company's performance obligations relate primarily to the delivery of gold, silver or other metals to the customers. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customers, which is achieved when the metal is delivered, the customer has full discretion over it and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the metal. Control over the refined gold, silver, copper and other metals is transferred to the customers when the relevant metal received (or purchased) from the operator is delivered and sold by the Company to customers. For royalty agreements paid in cash, revenue is recognized in the period in which metal production occurs, based on its attributable production interest and at the specified commodity price per the agreement, net of any contractually allowable permitted costs. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable when management can reliably estimate the amount, pursuant to the terms of the royalty, stream and other interest agreements. In some instances, the Company will not have access to sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of revenue and, accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until management can make a reasonable estimate. Differences between estimates and actual amounts are adjusted and recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known. |

| Share-based compensation [Policy Text Block] |
j) Share-based compensation Share option plan The Company offered a share option plan to its officers, employees and consultants until the year 2025, when it ceased to grant share options. Each tranche in an award was considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. Fair value of each tranche was measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche's vesting period by increasing contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact being recognized immediately. Any consideration paid on exercise of share options is credited to share capital. The contributed surplus resulting from share-based compensation is transferred to share capital when the options are exercised. Deferred and restricted share units The Company offers a deferred share units ("DSU") plan to its non-executive directors and a restricted share units ("RSU") plan to its officers, employees and consultants as part of their long-term compensation package, entitling them to receive a payment in the form of common shares, cash (based on OR Royalties' share price at the relevant time) or a combination of common shares and cash, at the sole discretion of the Company. The fair value of the DSU and RSU granted by the Company to be settled in common shares is measured on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period under contributed surplus with a corresponding charge to share-based compensation. A liability for the DSU and RSU to be settled in cash is measured at fair value on the grant date and is subsequently adjusted at each balance sheet date for changes in fair value. The liability is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding charge to share-based compensation. |

| Segment reporting [Policy Text Block] |
k) Segment reporting The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the President and Chief Executive Officer (the "President and CEO") who fulfills the role of the chief operating decision-maker. The President and CEO is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company's operating segments. The President and CEO organizes and manages the business under a single operating segment, consisting of acquiring and managing precious metals and other royalties, streams and other interests. |
