Ely Gold Royalties to Acquire 2% Royalty on Lincoln Hill Claims, Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 22, 2020) - Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (TSXV: ELY) (OTCQB: ELYGF) ("Ely Gold" or the "Company is pleased to announce that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Select Royalty Inc (collectively "Ely Gold"), that it has entered into a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") to acquire a two percent (2%) net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") from a private third-party on three unpatented mining claims located within the Lincoln Hill Property in Pershing County, Nevada (the "Raven Royalty"). The Term Sheet is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Closing") and waiver of a right of first refusal ("ROFR") by Coeur Mining Inc. ("Coeur").

The Term Sheet provides for cash consideration, paid by Ely Gold at Closing, of US$200,000 and the issuance of 500,000 warrants exercisable at today's closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange. The warrants allow the holder to purchase one share of Ely Gold common stock and will expire three years from the Effective Date. The Shares issued because of the warrant exercise will require a four-month hold.

At Closing, Ely Gold will be assigned two percent (2%) of the Raven Royalty, which is a four percent (4%) NSR in total. The 2% NSR being purchased by Ely Gold will not be subject to any royalty buydown and has no advance minimum royalty payments.

Trey Wasser, President & CEO of Ely Gold, commented, "The Raven Royalty includes two key claims not covered by our existing Lincoln Hill Royalty. This purchase represents an important part of our royalty strategy as we continue to add to our existing royalty portfolio."
