Elemental Altus Royalties Announces 2024 Guidance, Forecasting Seventh Consecutive Year of Record Revenues

Vancouver, April 4, 2024 - Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. (TSXV: ELE) (OTCQX: ELEMF) ("Elemental Altus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce materially higher guidance for 2024 building on record Adjusted Revenue¹ in 2023.

Highlights

• 2024 Guidance: 10,000 to 11,700 Gold Equivalent Ounces¹ ("GEOs") representing at its midpoint a 20% increase on 2023 and an 85% increase from 2022

• Growth Catalysts: Organic royalty revenue growth driven by Diba and Bonikro royalties

• Royalty Revenue Forecast: Adjusted Revenue of approximately US$20.0 to US$23.3 million at prices of US$2,000 per ounce of gold and US$3.90 per pound of copper

• Additional Revenue: Alongside royalty revenue, the Company expects to receive approximately US$20 million in payments from the portfolio over 2024 and 2025

Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus, commented:

"With 2024 expected to be another record performance, we are continuing our track record of increasing revenue every year since inception. This is made possible by the diversified portfolio the Elemental Altus team has assembled in a disciplined manner with producing royalties on high quality mines with proven operators. Material organic growth this year is expected to be driven by our royalties over Bonikro and Diba, both operated by newly-listed Allied Gold. Our royalty at Bonikro covers Pushback 5 which is expected to be the main production area for the next several years having successfully ramped up production at the end of 2023. Meanwhile, Allied have guided to first production at Diba in H1 2024, in parallel with growing the resource to provide potentially very significant long-term upside exposure.

Looking ahead, Elemental Altus continues to be in a robust position to expand its high quality and sustainable, revenue generating portfolio, supported by a strong cash position, ongoing royalty receipts and funds available through the credit facility with National and CIBC, which we expect will generate material shareholder value in the years to come."

Notes

1. Non-IFRS Measures

The Company has included certain performance measures which are non-IFRS and are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standard meaning under IFRS and other companies may calculate measures differently.

Royalty revenue is received at zero cost. Distributions from associates related to Elemental Altus' effective royalty on Caserones are received net of Chilean taxes and have no other costs.

Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as including gross royalty revenue from associated entities holding royalty interests related to Elemental Altus' effective royalty on the Caserones copper mine. Management uses adjusted revenue to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS such as revenue, investors may use adjusted revenue to evaluate the results of the underlying business, particularly as the adjusted revenue may not typically be included in operating results. Management believes that adjusted revenue is a useful measure of the Company performance because it adjusts for items which management believes reflect the Company's core operating results from period to period. Adjusted revenue is intended to provide additional information to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. It does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Gold Equivalent Ounces

Elemental Altus' adjusted royalty, streaming, and other revenue is converted to an attributable gold equivalent ounce, or GEO, basis by dividing the royalty and other revenue from associates in a period by the average gold price for the same respective period, plus the net gold ounces received in the period from streaming investments. The presentation of this non-IFRS measure is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently. The production forecast was derived using information that is available in the public domain as at the date hereof, which included guidance and estimates prepared and issued by management of the operators of the mining operations in which Elemental Altus holds an interest. The production forecast is sensitive to the performance and operating status of the underlying mines. None of the information has been independently verified by Elemental Altus and may be subject to uncertainty. There can be no assurance that such information is complete or accurate.
