Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2022) - Elemental Royalties Corp. (TSXV: ELE)
(OTCQX: ELEMF) ("Elemental" or "the Company") today announced that it completed its previously
announced non-brokered private placement of 9,275,000 common shares of Elemental ("Common
Shares") at an issue price of C$1.51 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of
C$14,005,250 (the "Offering"). The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the acquisition of a
gold stream at the Ming Copper-Gold Mine in Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada (the
"Transaction"), with the remainder for general working capital purposes. The Transaction entered into
pursuant to a gold purchase and sale agreement dated March 16, 2022 with Rambler Metals and Mining
Canada Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rambler Metals and Mining PLC (AIM: RMM), the owner
of the Ming Copper-Gold Mine, is expected to close on or shortly after April 1, 2022. Following the
Offering, Elemental has 78,266,221 Common Shares outstanding.
The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period lasting four
months and one day following the closing date of the Offering. The Offering remains subject to the final
approval of the TSX-V. Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as Elemental's financial advisor in respect of the
Offering.
Insiders of the Company subscribed for a total amount of 1,091,755 Common Shares under the Offering
for total proceeds of $1,648,550.05. Participation by these insiders constituted a related party
transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions
("MI 61-101"). The issuance of securities to the related parties was exempt from
the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101
and exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 pursuant to
Subsection 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to
the closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of these insiders of the Company had not
been confirmed at that time.
In connection with the Offering, Euro Pacific Asset Management ("EPAM") beneficially acquired 900,000
Common Shares through Europac Gold Fund. This brings the total Common Shares controlled by
EPAM, and all persons and companies acting jointly or in concert with EPAM, to 6,307,957 Common
Shares which represents approximately 8.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. EPAM
has acquired 947,181 Common Shares since the commencement of the hostile take-over bid. EPAM
acquired the Common Shares pursuant to the Offering for investment purposes only and may, depending
on market and other conditions, increase or decrease their beneficial ownership, control or direction
over common shares or other securities of Elemental through market transactions, private agreements
or otherwise.
