Strategic District Scale Property Currently Being Explored by Northern Vertex Ely Gold Retains 2% NSR on J & M Lode Claim

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 9, 2021) - Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (TSXV: ELY) (OTCQX: ELYGF) ("Ely Gold") is pleased to announce that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Select Royalty Inc, it has completed a Sale Agreement with Northern Vertex Mining Corp ("Northern Vertex" formerly Eclipse Gold Mining Corporation) whereby Northern Vertex has purchased one lode mining claim (the "J & M Claim") within their Hercules Gold Property ( "Hercules" or the "Property") located in the Walker Lane Trend, Nevada. Eclipse Gold Mining merged with Northern Vertex Mining Corp effective February 12, 2021.

Ely Gold had previously purchased the J & M Claim from a third party for US$20,000 and sold it to Northern Vertex for the same amount with Ely Gold retaining a 2.00% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR").

Hercules Gold Property

Northern Vertex is exploring the district-scale Hercules Gold Property which is located approximately a one hour drive from Reno and has all the characteristics of a large, low-sulphidation epithermal gold system.

Ely Gold's strategic claim is located between the West Cliffs and Hercules structural zones (see Figure 1) of Hercules. Both zones are east dipping and south plunging with potential for additional mineralization down dip on the faults and veins exposed at surface within these zones. The West Cliffs structural zone is the most continuous zone of alteration in the project area and potential for additional mineralization exists to the east of this zone. The J & M Lode claim is located in an area of post mineral cover with the potential for a southwestern extension to the Hercules structural zone to exist beneath the cover as well as deeper mineralization associated with the down dip extension of the West Cliffs zone. Mineralization in both zones plunges southward and possibly indicates an additional structural intersection zone in the vicinity of the J & M claim.

Jerry Baughman, President of Nevada Select commented, "We are very pleased to add Northern Vertex to our list of experienced counter-parties exploring our Nevada asset portfolio. This transaction is a testament to our ability to make third-party property purchases due to our long-standing relationships throughout Nevada."

Gold mineralization in both the West Cliffs and Hercules zones primarily occurs as banded and brecciated quartz veins indicating multiple episodes of faulting and hydrothermal activity related to gold deposition. Stockwork zones and strongly silicified rocks occur adjacent to the high-angle quartz veins and host disseminated gold mineralization as well. Low angle zones of gold mineralization occur between the high angle veins and structures indicating additional mineralization potential to the east and west of the outcropping high angle veins and structures.

Reverse circulation (RC) drilling at West Cliffs returned 74.68 meters of 0.54ppm gold and 4.78 ppm silver. At Hercules, RC drilling returned 89.92 meters of 0.65 ppm gold and 12.51ppm silver ^1.

The Company continues to actively seek opportunities to purchase producing or near-term producing royalties.
