Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including any

statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “budget”, scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes” or variations (including negative and

grammatical variations) of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken,

occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its mineral projects, the estimation of mineral resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production and capital, operating and exploration

expenditures. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause Empress Royalty Corp. (“Empress” or the "Company”) actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements

expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if

they do occur, what benefits the Company will obtain from them. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current views and are based on certain expectations, estimates and assumptions which may prove to be incorrect.

A number of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Forward-looking

statements are made as of the date of this presentation and, except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company assumes no obligation to update these

forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results differed from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

This presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities.

A royalty is a right to receive payment based on a percentage of the minerals or other products produced at a mine or the revenues or profits generated from the sale of those minerals or other products at a mine.

A metal stream is a purchase agreement that provides a streaming company the right to purchase a portion of one or more metals produced from a mine in exchange for non-dilutive capital, at a price determined for the life of the transaction by the purchase agreement.

OXFORD LAKE

Project Details0.5% NSR / 1.0% NSRGoldExplorationManitoba, CanadaOperator: Alto Ventures

The Oxford Lake property lies in the southwest portion of the Archean Oxford-Knee Lake greenstone belt in the Oxford-Stull Domain of the western Superior Province of Manitoba. The principal target model for Oxford Lake is Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and there already is a historical deposit, the Rusty Gold Deposit, that was discovered in the late 1980’s. The Rusty deposit has reported historical resources of 800,000 tonnes averaging 6 g/t Au. The deposit is open on strike and to depth. Another significant area of mineralization is the Blue Jay zone, located approximately 2 km east of Rusty; gold mineralization here is also associated with BIF. To the west, a large target area, extending for over 10 km is interpreted to be BIF but it has been tested by only two drill holes, one of which returned almost 1 g/t over 3 m intercept in BIF.
