EMPRESS ROYALTY ANNOUNCES GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

Empress Royalty Corp. has announced the issuance of equity compensation to a newly appointed board member, representing a routine corporate governance action. The company granted 250,000 restricted share units to Daniel Burns, who was recently appointed to the board of directors, at a deemed price of C$1.09 per unit under the company's existing Equity Incentive Plan.

The RSU grant represents approximately C$272,500 in equity compensation at the current deemed price, which aligns with standard practices for director compensation in the mining royalty sector. Restricted share units typically vest over time and are designed to align director interests with long-term shareholder value creation.

This announcement reflects normal course business activities for Empress Royalty as it continues to build its board composition and governance structure. The company trades on both the TSX Venture Exchange and the OTCQX market, providing liquidity for both Canadian and US investors. Such equity grants are standard practice in the mining and royalty sector for attracting and retaining qualified board members who bring strategic expertise to growing companies.
