February 25, 2021 – Vancouver, BC: Elemental Royalties Corp. (“Elemental” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: ELE, OTCQX: ELEMF) is pleased to report record annual revenue for 2020 and record quarterly revenue in Q4, alongside revenue guidance for 2021 that is the highest in the Company’s history. This has been driven by the transformational acquisition of a portfolio of precious metals royalties from South32 that will continue to accelerate Elemental’s revenue growth over the coming years.

Full Year and Q4 2020 Revenue

During 2020 Elemental achieved record preliminary revenue¹ of approximately US$5.1 million, a 110% increase year-on-year and recorded approximately 2,900 attributable zero-cost gold equivalent ounces.²

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company achieved record preliminary quarterly revenue¹ of approximately US$1.5 million and recorded approximately 770 attributable zero-cost gold equivalent ounces. ²

2020 Highlights

• Royalty revenue more than doubled to US$5.1 million
• Acquired a 1% Net Smelter Return (‘NSR’) royalty on Teranga Gold’s Wahgnion Mine, which produced 175,261 ounces of gold in 2020
• Completed reverse-takeover on TSX Venture Exchange and C$24 million fundraise
• Commenced trading on OTCQX market and obtained DTC eligibility
• Binding agreement to acquire a portfolio of precious metals royalties in Western Australia from South32, including:
  • 2% NSR royalty on Capricorn Metals’ under construction Karlawinda mine, targeting annual production of 110,000 to 125,000 ounces of gold; and
  • 2% gross revenue royalty over key parts of Focus Minerals’ Laverton brownfields development project
• Announced C$16 million fundraise in conjunction with the South32 acquisition
• Amended and increased the existing facility with Sprott Resource Lending to US$25 million
• Portfolio weighting to Tier 1 jurisdictions increased to 65%

2021 Outlook

In 2021, Elemental expects 4,000 to 4,400 attributable zero-cost gold equivalent ounces² from its existing portfolio, weighted towards the second half of the year, with 94% of expected revenue derived from gold and silver. At a US$1,800/oz average received gold price, this would achieve revenue of US$7.2 million to US$7.9 million in 2021.

“We are pleased to have achieved our fourth consecutive year of record royalty revenue since inception.” said Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental. “We expect continued revenue growth in 2021 as Capricorn Metals’ Karlawinda mine targets first gold pour in Q2, effectively doubling our gold royalty revenue from mid-year. With two transformational transactions now successfully completed, we are better placed than ever to continue to add value to the portfolio through 2021.”
