Empress Royalty Corp. Acquires North American Royalty Portfolio

Empress Royalty Corp. announced its acquisition of a portfolio of 14 net smelter return royalties from Almadex Minerals Ltd. This strategic acquisition spans mineral properties across Canada, the United States, and Mexico, diversifying Empress' royalty interests geographically and by commodity.

CEO Alexandra Woodyer Sherron emphasized the acquisition's potential to expand Empress' pipeline of future royalty interests while adhering to a disciplined capital allocation strategy. The portfolio offers promising exposures, including projects operated by firms such as Alamos Gold and McEwen Mining. These projects provide Empress with ongoing exploration and development opportunities without additional capital requirements.

The transaction, valued at US$2.5 million, involves both cash payment and issuance of common shares and is slated to close by August 31, 2026. This move is part of Empress' ongoing strategy to create long-term shareholder value through diverse investment opportunities in the mining sector.
