Electric Royalties Provides Update on Royalty Portfolio

Electric Royalties Ltd. (TSXV:ELEC)(OTCQB:ELECF) ("Electric Royalties" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an asset update on its current royalty portfolio

Brendan Yurik, CEO of Electric Royalties, commented: "We are seeing rapid progress across many of our lithium royalty interests, and we are confident that our commitment to clean energy metal royalties remains a solid business proposition. As an example, Sayona Mining is steadily advancing its North American Lithium (NAL) operation and the planned integration of the Authier project. NAL is projected to be the only producing lithium mine in Canada by early next year, and will potentially be a steady and long-life cashflow generator for Electric Royalties at such time as it commences production. All of our lithium royalties to date are on hard rock lithium spodumene deposits in Eastern Canada and were acquired when lithium spodumene prices were less than $500 per tonne; recent prices have reached over $7,500 per tonne¹, representing an increase of 1,400%. As a royalty company, our expected revenue from royalties is directly proportional to metal prices. We're looking forward to production at Authier, potentially in 2023, along with the expected economic study for Seymour Lake and an initial resource estimate at Cancet. The advancement of the Mont Sorcier vanadium royalty towards feasibility stage and Battery Hill towards pre-feasibility during the next 12 months are also exciting milestones that we are anticipating at Electric Royalties."

Highlights since the Company's previous update on August 23, 2022:

• Authier Lithium Project (0.5% Gross Metal Royalty) - Sayona Mining Limited (ASX:SYA) ("Sayona") announced on September 16, 2022 that it has further advanced its planned restart of spodumene (lithium) production at the North American Lithium (NAL) operation in Québec, Canada, with permitting applications 95% complete and procurement at 94%, with most major procurement items already on‐site. Construction activities have also ramped up, with the installation of cone crushers underway, among other items.

Additionally, Sayona announced on September 27, 2022 that Québec company L. Fournier & Fils was awarded an approximately C$200 million contract for the supervision of all stripping and drilling, blasting, loading and transportation of ore and waste rock, maintenance of mining roads, and all other services related to operations at NAL. The contract is expected to generate 120 new jobs.

Sayona announced on October 4, 2022 that it has launched a pre-feasibility study (PFS) to examine the option of producing lithium carbonate from spodumene produced at NAL, where production of spodumene concentrate is scheduled to commence in Q1 2023. According to Sayona, the potential move downstream could enhance the long‐term value and profitability of the NAL operation. Major engineering firm Hatch will undertake the lithium carbonate PFS, targeting completion by March 2023.

Sayona plans to combine mineralized material produced from Authier with mineralized material at the nearby NAL site, with a goal to facilitate improvement in plant performance and economics. A PFS for NAL integrates Authier, on which Electric Royalties holds a 0.5% gross metal royalty, with the NAL operation into Sayona's Abitibi Lithium Hub.

• Cancet Lithium Project (1.0% Net Smelter Royalty) - Winsome Resources Limited (ASX:WR1) ("Winsome") announced on September 26, 2022 that it has completed Stage 1 environmental studies of the Cancet lithium project in Québec, Canada. Completion of environmental studies marks a step towards progressing ongoing exploration activity and the mining approval process. The survey and field work carried out by First Nations-led consultancy Niigaan helps to inform an environmental map database covering the Cancet property. Winsome expects the full environmental dataset to be completed in 2023.

On October 5, 2022, Winsome announced that one of the approximately 15 pegmatite outcrops identified during previous field exploration work will be targeted in drilling to begin in October. This reverse circulation drilling program is due to conclude at Cancet in December, and based on results of the campaign, one or more diamond drill rigs will be brought to site to conduct more thorough drilling of the new targets, as well as to infill and extend drilling on the main mineralized body.

• Battery Hill Manganese Project (2.0% Gross Metal Royalty) - Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV:MN) ("Manganese X") announced on October 4, 2022 that has filed a provisional patent on the manganese purification process in preparation for its upcoming pilot project at the Battery Hill manganese project in New Brunswick, Canada. As the next step to fast track the development of Battery Hill, Manganese X has started the development of the field pilot plant with the goal of demonstrating its proprietary process for treating Battery Hill mineralization under near commercial-scale operating conditions that incorporates a modular design.

On October 11, 2022, Manganese X announced plans to commence the Battery Hill pre-feasibility study in-fill and step-out drilling program. Tendering for the proposed drilling program is underway with commencement tentatively scheduled for late October 2022. The goal of the drill program is to in-fill and expand the measured and indicated resources in preparation for the pre-feasibility study by upgrading the inferred category resource included in the mine plan in the preliminary economic assessment.

In addition to this drilling program, Manganese X is scoping the engineering, environmental and social studies to support the PFS work program. Geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling is planned for early 2023 for open-pit mine design and to advance the understanding of ground conditions in proposed infrastructure sites. Additional environmental baseline data will continue to be collected through 2022 and 2023.

• Mont Sorcier Iron and Vanadium Project (1.0% Gross Metal Royalty) - Voyager Metals Inc. (TSXV:VONE) ("Voyager") announced on September 27, 2022 that it has retained DRA Americas Inc. to act as project integrator for the NI 43-101 feasibility study of the Mont Sorcier iron and vanadium project located near Chibougamau, Québec, Canada, along with the responsibility for future mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates. All other key consultants remain unchanged. Voyager also revised its timeline for the feasibility study to the end of Q2 2023.
• Seymour Lake Lithium Project (1.5% Net Smelter Royalty) -On August 22, 2022, Green Technology Metals Limited (ASX: GT1) ("Green Technology Metals") provided an update on diamond drilling activity at the Seymour Lake lithium project in Ontario, Canada.

The drilling focus at Seymour Lake now moves to testing for lateral repeats of the North Aubry deposit to the north and drilling the multiple mapped pegmatite targets across the Pye Complex.

• Chubb Lithium Project (2.0% Gross Metal Royalty) - Newfoundland Discovery Corp. (CSE:NEWD) ("Newfoundland Discovery") announced on October 4, 2022 that it has entered into a binding letter of intent whereby it has granted Mining Equities Pty Ltd. ("Mining Equities"), an Australian company, the right to acquire a 100% interest in the Chubb property, consisting of thirty-five mineral claims comprising approximately 15 km², located in Québec, Canada.
