EMPRESS FUNDS SILVER STREAM ON THE

Empress Royalty Corp. (TSXV:EMPR | OTCQB:EMPYF) (“ Empress” or the “ Company”) is pleased
to announce it has funded the initial payment of US$2M of the US$5M silver stream agreement
(the “Stream”) on the Tahuehueto project in Mexico owned by Telson Mining Corporation

As announced on April 16, 2021, Empress executed the Stream agreement on production of 100%
of the payable silver production from Telson’s Tahuehueto for the first 1,250,000 payable ounces,
thereafter, the percentage will step-down to 20% of the payable silver production to a maximum
of 10 years from first production after which the Stream terminates.
The Stream is part of a US$25M full financing solution being provided to Telson by Empress and

the first tranche initial payment of the Stream completed, the remaining US$3M second tranche
