Ely Gold Royalties Inc. Files Special Meeting Materials for Arrangement with Gold Royalty Corp.

Materials for the Meeting, including the Information Circular, are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.elygoldinc.com.

Under the terms of the Arrangement each holder of Ely Shares will have the option to receive consideration per ELY Share of either:

(i) $1.46 in cash (the "Cash Consideration"); or
(ii) 0.2450 of a GROY common share (a "GROY Share"), plus $0.0001 in cash (the "Share Consideration"),

in each case, subject to pro-ration based on a maximum aggregate cash consideration of $84 million and a maximum aggregate number of GROY Shares issued of approximately 41.5 million. Shareholders may indicate their election for either the Cash Consideration or the Share Consideration by completing the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form that accompanies the Letter of Transmittal included with the accompanying Information Circular in accordance with the instructions therein.

The Election Deadline

In order to make the above election, shareholders must send their completed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form to the address indicated therein prior to 4:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) on August 12, 2021, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, no later than 72 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in British Columbia) before the adjourned Meeting is reconvened or the postponed Meeting is convened (the "Election Deadline"). In the event that a Shareholder does not return the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form by such Election Deadline they will be deemed to have elected the Share Consideration.

Ely Gold Warrants

Pursuant to the Arrangement each warrant to purchase Ely Shares (an "Ely Warrant") that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement will thereafter represent the right of the holder thereof to receive on exercise of the Ely Warrants, (including payment of the applicable exercise price) such number of GROY Shares and, as applicable, any cash per Ely Share that holders of Ely Shares that elect the Share Alternative will receive under the Arrangement.

Holders of Ely Warrants who wish to elect the Cash Consideration, must exercise their Ely Warrants and submit their election prior to the Election Deadline set out above.

In addition, as more fully set forth in the Information Circular, GROY Shares issued to holders of Ely Warrants as a result of any exercise after completion of the Arrangement will be "restricted securities" under applicable U.S. securities laws and subject to certain restrictions as to their transferability in the United States (including through the NYSE American). As the GROY Shares are currently only listed on the NYSE American, holders of Ely Warrants that wish to receive GROY Shares that are not subject to such U.S. restrictions need to exercise their Ely Warrants prior to completion of the Arrangement.

Benefits of the Arrangement

• Significant Premium to Ely Shareholders - The share exchange ratio implies a mix of $0.42 in cash plus 0.1742 of a GROY Share per Ely Share on a fully diluted, in-the-money, and fully pro-rated basis (assuming the maximum aggregate cash consideration of $84 million). Such consideration represents a premium of approximately 42% to Shareholders based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of the GROY Shares and Ely Shares ending on June 18, 2021 (being the trading date immediately prior to announcement of the transaction).

• Creation of a Leading Growth and Americas-Focused Precious Metals Royalty Company - The transaction creates a new, sizable Americas-focused royalty company with a peer-leading resource endowment and a robust development pipeline, including nearly 100 royalties on various production, near-production, development and exploration assets.

• Ability to Participate in Future Potential Growth of Combined Entity - By having the ability to elect to receive GROY Shares under the Arrangement, Shareholders will have an opportunity to participate in any potential increase in the value of the combined company ("New GROY") after the effective date of the Arrangement. In addition, given the increased scale and diversification of New GROY, it is expected that New GROY will be positioned for a re-rate by attracting enhanced multiples that are generally applicable to companies of such larger size.

• Enhanced Balance Sheet and Access to Capital - New GROY will have approximately US$61.7 million in cash (pro forma as at March 31, 2021, assuming maximum aggregate share consideration is elected and the exercise of all outstanding in-the-money securities), greater access to equity and debt capital markets and the critical mass to drive significant growth through acquisitions.

• Enhanced Capital Markets Profile - New GROY will continue to be listed on the NYSE American and is expected to have increased trading liquidity and, given the size of the combined companies, have greater visibility amongst institutional investors.

• Experienced Management Team - New GROY will have a highly credible and established management team with over 300 years of combined experience and a proven track record of creating value and sourcing accretive deals.

• Optionality for Ely Shareholders - Shareholders have the choice to elect to receive either the Cash Consideration or the Share Consideration, giving Shareholders the opportunity to either immediately monetize their Ely Shares or hold GROY Shares, subject to pro-ration.
