TORONTO, ON, August 7, 2025 Silver Crown Royalties Inc. ( Cboe: SCRI,OTC:SLCRF; OTCQX: SLCRF; FRA: QS0) ( "Silver Crown" "SCRi" or the "Company" ) is pleased to announce the signing of a royalty purchase agreement with EDM Resources Inc. (" EDM ") ( TSX-V: EDM; FSE: P3Z) dated August 6, 2025. Under the agreement, Silver Crown will acquire a royalty on silver produced from EDM's Scotia Mine (the "Royalty" ), further strengthening its portfolio of silver royalties in high quality jurisdictions.
The Scotia Mine is a fully permitted, past-producing zinc and lead operation in Nova Scotia, Canada, located ~70 km from Halifax (the " Project' ). EDM is currently advancing the Project towards production.
Under the terms of the Royalty, Silver Crown will receive 90% of the net proceeds from silver ounces sold from the Scotia Mine each quarter, but no less than 1,750 oz (7,000 oz annually) (the " Minimum Delivery Obligation "), commencing upon the start of commercial production and continuing for a period of 10 years commencing on the date of declaration of Commercial Production at the Scotia Mine.
The total purchase price for the royalty is C$500,000 in cash, with C$250,000 due at closing and the remaining C$250,000 payable 30 days later. Additionally, SCRi will issue 60,000 units (each, a " Unit ") to EDM at closing, valued at C$10.00 per Unit, with each unit comprising one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at C$13.00 per common share for 36 months. The transaction is anticipated to close in or about the second week of August 2025.
Additionally, SCRi will provide EDM with a C$500,000 bonus if EDM doubles its silver production of 7,000 ounces sold over a 12-month period, (based on the trailing six-month average). This performance-based incentive, at Silver Crown's discretion, may be paid in cash or in Units, subject to the Cboe Canada stock exchange (" Cboe ") regulations and Cboe's approval.
Peter Bures, Silver Crown's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We engaged with EDM a number of years ago, while still private. This was one of our early-stage conceptual royalties, and we are excited to continue adding high-quality royalties to our portfolio with further exposure to Canada . Although the Royalty is not expected to contribute to cash flow until 2027, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of royalties on currently operating assets, as evidenced by our pipeline, which predominantly comprises producing or near-producing royalties. Furthermore, the total capital deployment of C$1.0 million (C$1.5 million fully bonused) is relatively conservative compared to our total capital deployed to date of C$9.6 million (C$21.9 million fully bonused)."
