VANCOUVER, BC
,
April 21, 2022
/CNW/ - Electric Royalties Ltd. (TSXV: ELEC) (OTCQB: ELECF) ("Electric
Royalties" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the strong upward trend in the zinc price has
significantly increased the Middle Tennessee Mine ("MTM") zinc royalty payments. The MTM zinc royalty is held
in a limited partnership ("MTM LP") in which Electric Royalties owns a 25% economic interest with the remaining
75% interest held by Sprott Streaming and Royalties Corp. (see Electric Royalties' news release dated
August
11, 2021
(the "Acquisition Date")).
From the Acquisition Date to
March 31, 2022
, the aggregate gross amount of royalty revenue accrued to MTM
LP on a 100% basis is approximately
US$1,158,000
(approximately
C$1,459,000
1
), a total of
US$289,000
(
C$365,000
1
) of which is attributable to the Company.
Zinc prices
2
have followed, overall, an increasing trend since the Acquisition Date. The closing zinc price on
March 31, 2022
was
US$4,260
per ton, representing an increase of 41% since the Acquisition Date, when the
closing zinc price was
US$3,018
.
Brendan Yurik
, CEO of Electric Royalties, commented, "The MTM royalty represents what we anticipate to be
many more royalties of its kind as we seek to prioritize the acquisition of cash-flowing royalties to continue to
grow the Company. With zinc prices surging almost 50% since we closed the MTM royalty acquisition last
August, we remain bullish on zinc which continues to face supply shortages due to higher energy costs and
sustained production cuts from smelters

. Zinc plays a critical role in batteries, energy storage and protection of
steel used to build renewable energy infrastructure."
On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

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: 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 18 royalties, including one royalty that currently generates revenue.
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.
