Arizona Tribune - Electric Royalties: Several Copper Royalties Make Strides and Copper Royalty Revenues Rise

Electric Royalties CEO Brendan Yurik commented: "We are pleased to announce the receipt of C$253,359 in revenues since our December 2024 royalty acquisition of the Punitaqui Copper Mine in Chile, with additional revenues expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. We are very encouraged by the ongoing ramp-up at Punitaqui - an increase in production there directly supports higher royalty revenues for our Company, strengthening our cash flow and underpinning our growth strategy.

"Meanwhile, the new operator at the Zonia Copper Project in Arizona, Edge Copper Corporation, has received funding of C$17 million to leverage proprietary AI-driven exploration methods to expand Zonia's resource further and complete a pre-feasibility study. The new ownership team and investment provide confidence that Zonia will emerge as a leading U.S.-based copper project at a time when copper has been formally recognized as a critical mineral by the U.S. government. Copper's inclusion on the official U.S. Geological Survey critical minerals list grants copper projects access to streamlined permitting, potential federal funding, and tax incentives.

"At the Millennium Copper-Cobalt Project in Australia, the commencement of diamond drilling to target high-grade graphite - sitting on top of and adjacent to an existing cobalt-copper-gold resource - underscores the project's position as a critical minerals asset in a readily accessible mining district near Cloncurry, Queensland.

"We will soon report on progress as to other royalties and metals within our portfolio of high-value critical minerals projects. Having recently optimized our company overhead expenses, our primary focus remains on maximizing both near-term royalties and long-term value creation."

Additional details on recent developments within our portfolio of copper royalties include:

• Millennium Copper-Cobalt Project (0.5% Gross Revenue Royalty) - On November 27, 2025, Metal Bank Limited (ASX:MBK) ("Metal Bank") announced the commencement of diamond drilling at the Millennium Project in Queensland, Australia, as part of its AUD$250,000 Queensland government-funded Collaborative Exploration Initiative program.

  This drilling targets high-grade near surface extensions to previously announced graphite results and bulk metallurgical samples within and adjacent to the JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate.

  Metal Bank has also submitted an application for an additional mining lease at Millennium to facilitate further exploration and operations for both copper-cobalt-gold and graphite resources. This application area consists of approximately 159 hectares.

  Electric Royalties is relying on the information provided by Metal Bank.
