BASE SHELF PROSPECTUS AND PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT ACCESSIBLE AND FINAL PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT TO BE ACCESSIBLE WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS ON SEDAR+

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold Royalty Corp. ("Gold Royalty" or the "Company") (NYSE:GROY) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with National Bank Capital Markets, BMO Capital Markets, and RBC Capital Markets as joint bookrunners, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 17,500,000 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of US$4.00 per Common Share (the "Offering Price"), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$70.0 million (the "Offering").

Subject to receipt of the necessary approvals, the Common Shares will be listed on the NYSE American.

The Company has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time at the Offering Price up to 30 days after closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the number of Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offering, for additional gross proceeds to the Company of up to approximately US$10.5 million.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund all or a portion of the consideration for its acquisition of an existing royalty on the Pedra Branca mine from BlackRock World Mining Trust plc (the "Acquisition"), and for general corporate purposes. Pedra Branca is an operating copper and gold mine located in Brazil and currently owned and operated by a subsidiary of BHP Group Limited.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about December 11, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary approvals of the NYSE American in accordance with its applicable listing requirements. The closing of the Offering is not conditional upon the completion of the Acquisition. In the event that the Acquisition is not completed, the Company may reallocate the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund other acquisitions or repay outstanding indebtedness.

The Offering will be made in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, other than Quebec and Nunavut, by way of a prospectus supplement to the Company's Canadian short form base shelf prospectus dated August 2, 2024. The Company has also filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-280817), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 2, 2024. The securities in the Offering are being offered only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the registration statement. A preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to, and describing the terms of, the Offering has been filed with the SEC. The Offering may also be made on a private placement basis in other international jurisdictions in reliance on applicable private placement exemptions. Before investing, prospective investors should read the Canadian base shelf prospectus and the prospectus supplement thereto, or the registration statement, including the U.S. base prospectus therein, and the prospectus supplement thereto, as applicable, including, in each case, the documents attached thereto or incorporated by reference therein, for more complete information about the Company and the Offering.

It is expected that delivery of the Common Shares will be made against payment therefor on or about the Closing Date, which will be three business days following the date of the prospectus supplement (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+3"). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in one business day (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+1"), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their Common Shares prior to the Closing Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Common Shares will not settle in T+1, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Common Shares who wish to trade their Common Shares prior to the Closing Date should consult their own advisors. Listing of the Common Shares will be subject to fulfilling all listing requirements of the NYSE American.
