CORRECTION FROM SOURCE: Electric Royalties to Acquire 0.75% GRR on Producing Tin-Tantalum Mine in Spain

This news release has been amended to add "(Mt)" in Table 1. Complete corrected text follows

Electric Royalties Ltd. (TSXV:ELEC) (OTCQB:ELECF) ("Electric Royalties" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Strategic Minerals Europe Corp. (NEO: SNTA) (OTCQB: SNTAF) ("Strategic Minerals") to acquire a newly granted 0.75% Gross Revenue Royalty (the "0.75% GRR") on the producing Penouta tin-tantalum mine in Spain (the "Project" or "Penouta") in exchange for a cash payment of C$1,000,000 and 500,000 common shares of Electric Royalties. In addition, the Company will have an option for a period of 7 months from closing to acquire an additional 0.75% GRR (the "0.75% Option GRR") on Penouta in exchange for an additional cash payment of C$1,250,000. The royalty rates will be reduced to 0.5% respectively once certain minimum royalty payments have been made.

Brendan Yurik, CEO of Electric Royalties commented: "We are tremendously excited about adding this producing tin-tantalum royalty to our metals portfolio. The Penouta Mine is currently the largest tin and tantalum producer in all of Europe¹. The operations team at Strategic Minerals has a proven track record of building and operating mines. Penouta has been steadily increasing production since the start of 2022. The mine's best quarter was in September with production of 80 tonnes of primary concentrate of tin and tantalum. Our capital is expected to be well utilized for mine improvements, as well as allowing Strategic Minerals to potentially add additional revenue streams from Penouta.

"We're delighted to partner with Strategic Minerals on this royalty financing and to get our first cash flow exposure to tin. Commodity research firm Roskill forecasts that total market demand for refined tin will exceed 515 kilotonnes by 2030, most of it accounted for by electronic and industrial solder (40%), and also the substantial rise of lithium-ion batteries (9%). Demand increases will require substantial amounts of new refined supply, requiring additional tin feedstock sources²."

Penouta Tin-Tantalum Royalty Acquisition Highlights

• Europe's biggest producer of tin and tantalum.
• Proven operations team with a track record of successfully building and operating mines.
• September production of 66 tonnes of cassiterite concentrate with a tin content of 70.2% and 14 tonnes of tantalite/columbite concentrate containing 25.5% tantalite and 24.8% columbite.
• Q2 2022 revenues of US$4.7 million, a significant increase year over year. Adjusted EBITDA reached US$1.2 million or 25.8% as a percentage of sales for the second quarter³.
• Additional potential opportunities to add new revenue streams from high-grade feldspar and rare earths extraction from historical tailings.
• Long potential mine life based on total measured and indicated resources of 76.3 million tonnes (see Table 1).

Penouta Mine Overview

The Penouta Mine is located in the north-western Spanish province of Ourense. The project has been mined since Roman times, with small underground workings following mineralized quartz veins within the leucogranite. In the early 1900s, a small mining lease was granted, primarily for kaolin, followed by a number of other mining leases in the area. The Penouta Mine was operated by a previous owner between 1976 and 1982, extracting cassiterite and tantalum mineralization by open pit methods.

Table 1: Pit-constrained SRK Mineral Resource Statement for the Penouta tin-tantalum hard rock deposit, effective date March 5, 2021⁴.

Notes:

1. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
2. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate; numbers may not add up due to rounding.
3. The standard adopted in respect of the reporting of Mineral Resources for the Project is in accordance with the terminology, definitions and guidelines given in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (CIM Code).
4. SRK reasonably expects portions of the Penouta deposit to be amenable to open pit mining methods. Open pit Mineral Resources are constrained to within a Whittle optimized pit and reported based on a Ta2O5Eq Resource cut-off which considers processing costs and G&A costs totalling US$7.79/t. Pit slope angles were set to 45 degrees.
5. Resources are reported at an open pit cut-off grade of 60 ppm Ta2O5Eq.
6. Cut-off grades are based on a price of US$178/kg and recoveries of 75% for Ta2O5, and US$24/kg and recoveries of 75% for tin.
7. It is reasonably expected, but not guaranteed, that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
8. Inferred Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves.

In January 2021, Strategic Minerals re-commenced open pit production of tin and tantalum and in June 2022, it received an exploitation permit to mine for 30 years, renewable for up to 75 years. The mineral concentrate contains approximately 70% tin (cassiterite) and 30% tantalum. In September, the company achieved the highest monthly production levels of the year (see Table 2).
