Empress Royalty (TSXV:EMPR) is a new royalty and streaming company focused on building a strong portfolio of global investment opportunities in precious metals mining companies, concentrating on finding industry partners with development and production stage projects who require additional non-dilutive capital. Empress applies a financially disciplined approach to investing in these cost-effective operations with strong experienced management teams and excellent exploration potential.

A royalty allows Empress to receive payment based on a percentage of gold or silver produced at a mine or the revenues or profits generated from the sale of those minerals at a mine in exchange for an initial investment. A metal stream provides Empress the right to purchase a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine in exchange for non-dilutive capital, at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement.

The Empress business model capitalizes on the stable cash flow and long-term capital gains of streaming and royalty investments in the mining industry. Focusing on global gold and silver projects, Empress aims to create a diverse and robust portfolio of investment opportunities that will create value for its shareholders, as well as its strategic mining industry partners. By following this strategy, Empress is able to invest in mining companies without diluting their shareholders while also generating consistent revenue for its shareholders.
