Silver Crown Royalties Secures $4.5 Million Private Placement Led by Investor Michael Gentile

Silver Crown Royalties Inc. has closed a C$4,500,000 non-brokered private placement, issuing 321,429 common shares at C$14.00 per share. The financing involved two investors, notably including Michael Gentile, who subscribed for 219,150 common shares, increasing his partially diluted ownership interest in the company to just under 20%. Chief Executive Officer Peter Bures stated this premium-to-market financing represents a strong vote of confidence from a leading investor in the mineral resource sector. The company's enhanced cash position, now approximately C$14.2 million including the value of silver bullion holdings, is intended to support the pursuit of transactions and aggressive growth.

The proceeds from the offering are allocated primarily toward specific accretive silver royalties the company has identified. Following the transaction, Silver Crown Royalties has 5,366,550 issued and outstanding common shares. The shares issued are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day. In compliance with securities regulations, Gentile has filed an Early Warning Report detailing the change in his holdings. Prior to the offering, Gentile owned approximately 9.89% of the common shares on an undiluted basis and 16.52% on a partially diluted basis. Post-transaction, his ownership increased to approximately 12.15% undiluted and 19.36% partially diluted. Copies of the Early Warning Report are available on the company's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at https://www.sedarplus.ca.

This development is significant as it provides Silver Crown Royalties with substantial capital to execute its business model without incurring finder's fees or other offering-related costs. The investment by a seasoned sector investor like Gentile at a premium price underscores perceived value and growth potential in the company's royalty acquisition strategy. The financing strengthens the company's ability to act on identified opportunities in the silver royalty market, which aims to offer investors exposure to precious metals as a hedge against currency devaluation. The transaction details and regulatory filings provide transparency for current and potential investors regarding ownership structure and the use of proceeds, which is crucial for assessing the company's strategic direction and financial health.
