Canadian Government Provides C$100 Million Financing

LOI to Green Technology Metals in Support of Electric

Royalties' Flagship Lithium Royalty Asset in Ontario

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 24, 2024 / Electric Royalties Ltd.

(TSXV:ELEC)(OTCQB:ELECF) ("Electric Royalties" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update

on the Seymour Lake Lithium Project ("Seymour Lake" or "the Project") in Ontario, Canada, on

which it owns a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty.

On December 22, 2024, Green Technology Metals Limited (ASX: GT1) ("Green Technology Metals"),

the operator of Seymour Lake, announced that it has received a letter of interest ("LOI") from Export

Development Canada ("EDC") in support of EDC's interest to finance the development of the

Project and potentially provide a direct lending debt funding package of up to C$100 million.

Brendan Yurik, CEO of Electric Royalties, commented: "The letter of interest from Export

Development Canada for up to C$100 million in financing support represents a meaningful

step forward for Green Technology Metals' Seymour Lithium Project. This announcement

could help accelerate the project's development, reinforcing its trajectory to become

Ontario's first lithium producer, and solidifying its role in Canada's critical minerals supply

chain. "

EDC is a financial Crown corporation owned by the Government of Canada, specializing in

providing financing solutions for Canadian exporters and has closed over 540 transactions in the

renewables and sustainable technologies, power and utilities, energy, mining, telecommunications

and infrastructure sectors.

The potential financing by EDC is subject to the completion of a due diligence process and typical

project finance conditions. This includes an environmental and social review aligned with EDC's

Environmental and Social Risk Management Framework.

According to Green Technology Metals, the LOI complements strong interest from additional global

commercial lenders, forming a foundation for a diversified financing structure which it anticipates

finalizing in 2025, along with a feasibility study that is already underway.

Electric Royalties is relying on the information provided by Green Technology Metals.

About Electric Royalties Ltd.

range of commodities (lithium, vanadium, manganese, tin, graphite, cobalt, nickel, zinc and

cars, rechargeable batteries, large scale energy storage, renewable energy generation and other

applications.

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 41 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 toward a decarbonized global economy.
