Star Metro - Electric Royalties Ltd. Announces Closing of $1,000,000 Private Placement

Brendan Yurik, CEO of Electric Royalties, commented: "We are pleased to welcome several new investors who share our confidence in the Company's near-term catalysts and long-term growth potential - especially in light of our current market valuation.

"Over the past year, we have made a concerted effort to reduce overhead costs while continuing to build a diverse portfolio of 43 royalties in stable jurisdictions. This includes a copper royalty currently ramping up, three royalties that could return to production, and five royalties advancing through prefeasibility or feasibility studies.

"With more than 60% of Electric Royalties' outstanding shares now held by board members, their families, and our founding partner Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX: GMX; OTCQX: GLBXF), our share structure remains tight, and insiders are strongly aligned with our shareholders."

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid $33,457.20 in cash and issued 238,980 common share purchase warrants (each, a "Finder Warrant") to finders at closing. Each Finder Warrant is non-transferable and exercisable for one common share in the capital of the Company for a period of 12 months following the date hereof, at an exercise price of $0.16.

Electric Royalties expects to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes, including evaluation, legal, and due diligence costs in connection with potential strategic transactions presently under consideration.

The Private Placement involves the issuance of 371,428 Common Shares (for a subscription amount of $52,000.00) to related parties (as such term is defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")) and therefore constitutes a related party transaction under MI 61-101. This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the Common Shares distributed and the consideration received from related parties under the Private Placement does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were not permitted to be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.

About Electric Royalties Ltd.

Electric Royalties is a royalty company established to take advantage of the demand for a wide range of commodities (lithium, vanadium, manganese, tin, graphite, cobalt, nickel, zinc and copper) that will benefit from the drive toward electrification of a variety of consumer products: artificial intelligence, cars, rechargeable batteries, large scale energy storage, renewable energy generation and other applications.

Artificial intelligence, electric vehicle sales, battery production capacity and renewable energy generation are slated to increase significantly over the next several years and with it, the demand for these targeted commodities. This creates a unique opportunity to invest in and acquire royalties over the mines and projects that will supply the materials needed to fuel the electric revolution.

Electric Royalties has a growing portfolio of 43 royalties in lithium, vanadium, manganese, tin, graphite, cobalt, nickel, zinc and copper across the world. The Company is focused predominantly on acquiring royalties on advanced stage and operating projects to build a diversified portfolio located in jurisdictions with low geopolitical risk, which offers investors exposure to the clean energy transition via the underlying commodities required to rebuild the global infrastructure over the next several decades towards a decarbonized global economy.
