Ely Gold Royalties Options Frost Property to Paramount Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 14, 2018) - Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (TSXV: ELY) (OTCQB: ELYGF) ("Ely Gold" or the "Company")  is pleased to announce that, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Nevada Select Royalty, Inc., ("Nevada Select") it has entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Calico Resources USA Corp. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) (collectively "Paramount") whereby Ely Gold will option a 100% interest in forty-four (44) unpatented lode mining claims situated in Malheur County, Oregon, known as the Frost Property (the "Property"). Within the terms of the Agreement, Nevada Select will retain a 2.0% net smelter royalty ("NSR").

The Agreement was finalized on November 13, 2018, (the "Effective Date").

Ely Gold is a rapidly growing royalty company with over 77 projects, primarily in Nevada and the Western United States. The Company's portfolio currently consists of 51 properties (27 deeded royalties and 24 properties optioned to third parties) all of which are being explored or developed by its partners. The Company also has 26 properties for sale. Ely Gold's partners include major mining companies, mid-tier producers and junior exploration companies.

The Property

The Frost Property encompasses approximately 900 acres and was acquired by Ely Gold in September 2017, through staking. It is located approximately 12 miles west of Paramount's Grassy Mountain Deposit. The Property is in a favorable geological setting which is similar to Grassy Mountain and is within trucking distance of Paramount's proposed mine and mill operation. The historical drilling conducted in 1989 and 1990 intersected some significant gold intercepts, however, to date, that drilling has not been followed up. The purchase also includes the complete data base on the Property currently owned by Nevada Select.

The Transaction

The Asset Purchase Agreement allows for Nevada Select to transfer, by mineral deed, its 100% interest in the Property, and the accompanying database for a series of cash payments equalling US$250,000, payable as follows:

• $10,000 cash on the Effective Date;
• $15,000 cash on the date on which Paramount receives a permit for a drill program on the Property from the State of Oregon (the "Permit Date");
• $25,000 cash on the one-year anniversary of the Permit Date;
• $50,000 cash on the second anniversary of the Permit Date;
• $50,000 cash on the third anniversary of the Permit Date; and
• $100,000 cash on the fourth anniversary of the Permit Date.

In turn, Paramount will grant to Nevada Select a 2% NSR on the Property. Paramount has the right to reduce the NSR to 1%, at any time, for a payment of US$1 million.

Trey Wasser, Ely Gold's President and CEO commented, "As Paramount secures its final permits at the Grassy Mountain Deposit, we believe that the Frost Property will be an excellent addition to their overall property package. We look forward to Paramount's follow up drill program on the Frost historic drill results, accompanied by the Paramount Team's deep understanding of the local geology. This transaction is yet another example of Ely Gold helping an active US exploration company consolidate a strategic property to their land package."
