FORIMMEDIATE RELEASE

GoldRoyalty Provides Update on Elemental Offer

Vancouver,British Columbia – April 11, 2022 – Gold Royalty Corp. (NYSE American: GROY) (“Gold Royalty”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the conclusion of key regulatory approvals in connection with the conditions of the Company’s offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Elemental Royalties Corp. (TSXV:ELE) (“Elemental”), together with the associated rights issued under Elemental’s shareholder rights plan.

The Company has received a “no action” letter from the Foreign Investment Review Board of the Government of Australia advising that the transactions in respect of the Offer are not subject to the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Australia). Additionally, after consulting its advisors and reviewing relevant publicly available information regarding Elemental, the Company has determined that a pre-merger notification and application under the Competition Act (Canada) are not required with respect to the Offer.

In connection with the foregoing and as a result of revisions made to the conditions of the Offer through the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company filed today a Notice of Variation and Change with respect to its Offer. The revisions contained therein do not change the scope of the conditions of the Offer in any material respect. The Notice of Variation and Change also provides additional disclosure, including, among other things, updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements that reflect the most recent fiscal periods of each of Gold Royalty and Elemental. .

The Offer remains open for acceptance until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on April 27, 2022, unless the Offer is abridged, extended or withdrawn.

For further information regarding the Offer, please see the Company’s Offer and Circular dated January 11, 2022, as supplemented by the notice of change dated January 21, 2022, and as further supplemented and varied by the Notice of Variation and Change dated April 11, 2022 (collectively, the “Offer Documents”), available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on Gold Royalty’s website at www.goldroyalty.com/elemental-offer/. Elemental shareholders are strongly encouraged to read the Offer Documents carefully and in their entirety, since they contain additional important information regarding Gold Royalty and the terms and conditions of the Offer, as well as detailed instructions on how Elemental shareholders can tender their Elemental Shares to the Offer.

An Elemental shareholder’s ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because Gold Royalty is incorporated in Canada, some or all of Gold Royalty’s officers and directors and some or all of the experts named in the Offer Documents reside outside of the United States, and a substantial portion of Gold Royalty’s assets and of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Elemental shareholders in the United States may not be able to sue Gold Royalty or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violation of United States federal securities laws.
