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.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in
the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange), nor any other regulatory body or securities exchange
platform, accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
