Empress Announces Acquisition of North American Royalty Portfolio

About this update from Empress Royalty Corp

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 10, 2026 / Empress Royalty Corp. (TSXV:EMPR)(OTCQX:EMPYF) ("Empress" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex") for the acquisition of a portfolio of fourteen (14) pre-production net smelter return ("NSR") royalties from Almadex. The portfolio includes royalty interests on mineral properties in Canada, the United States and Mexico. "By acquiring these royalties at an early stage, we are expanding Empress' pipeline of future royalty opportunities while maintaining our disciplined approach to capital allocation," stated Alexandra Woodyer Sherron, CEO and President of Empress. "This portfolio gives Empress exposure to fourteen royalties across North America. We see potential upside across a number of these projects and believe this acquisition meaningfully expands our pipeline of future royalty interests. Our strengthened balance sheet and increased financial flexibility now allow us to selectively pursue opportunities like this when they offer compelling long-term value. While our primary investment focus remains on producing and near-term producing precious metal royalties and streams, we will continue to capitalize on exceptional opportunities that complement our portfolio and have the potential to generate significant long-term shareholder value." The portfolio provides diversified exposure across three premier mining jurisdictions. Supported by well-funded operators including Alamos Gold, McEwen Mining, Kodiak Copper and Westhaven Gold, the portfolio includes projects with active exploration and development programs as well as clear medium to long-term project catalysts. The royalty interests provide long-term optionality and upside potential without requiring additional capital commitments from Empress. The projects to which Empress will hold a royalty have the potential to benefit from district-scale exploration, operator-driven project advancement, and jurisdictional strength.
