2025 Outlook

   -- Record guidance of 11,600 to 13,200 GEOs, translating to record adjusted

      US$2,600/oz and a copper price of US$4.00/lb 
 
   -- This represents a 38% increase in GEOs and 50% year-on-year increase in 
      adjusted revenue at the mid-point of guidance, with full exposure to 
      higher gold prices 
 
   -- Production is anticipated to be weighted towards the first half of the 
      year, driven by first gold sales at the Korali-Sud royalty and Caserones 
      shipments delayed from Q4 2024 into Q1 2025 
 
   -- Up to US$15 million in one-off payments, with over US$10 million expected 
      in the first half of the year 

Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus, commented:

"Elemental Altus has delivered record revenue and cash flow for the eighth consecutive year, a testament to the strength and consistency of our royalty portfolio. The first quarter of 2025 will see the addition of a new cash-generating royalty at Korali-Sud in a time of record gold prices, further diversifying our sources of revenue and supporting another year ahead of exceptional growth.

In 2025, we expect to generate over US$45 million in total revenue and one-off payments, underpinned by record guidance and weighted to the first half of the year. With a debt-free balance sheet and significant embedded growth, Elemental Altus is in the strongest position in its history to continue delivering long-term value to shareholders."

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.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of certain other income/expenses and unusual non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is comprised of earnings before interest, taxes, depletion, including depletion and taxes relating to share of profit from associate, and share-based compensation. Management believes that this is a useful measure of the Company's performance because it adjusts for items which may not relate to underlying operating performance of the Company and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Neither the TSX-V nor its Regulation Service Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX-V.) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release
