Elemental Royalty Added to VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF

Elemental Royalty Corporation, a mid-tier gold-focused streaming and royalty company, has been included in the MVIS® Global Junior Gold Miners Index (MVGDXJ), effective after the market close on September 18, 2026. This inclusion marks a significant milestone for the company, as it is now part of the underlying benchmark index for the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), one of the world's largest exchange-traded funds focused on junior gold and silver companies.

Elemental Royalty Corporation's CEO, David M. Cole, commented on the company's achievement: "Elemental's inclusion in the GDXJ represents another important milestone in the transformation of the Company over the past twelve months. During that period, we have significantly increased our scale, trading liquidity, and portfolio quality, establishing Elemental as a leading mid-tier royalty company with a diversified production base and compelling long-term growth profile."

The MVIS® Global Junior Gold Miners Index tracks the performance of liquid small-cap companies in the global gold and silver mining industries. The VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of this index. As of September 11, 2026, the GDXJ had approximately US$9.3 billion in total net assets.

Elemental Royalty Corporation, formed through the merger of Elemental Altus and EMX, combines Elemental Altus's track record of accretive royalty acquisitions with EMX's strengths in royalty generation and disciplined growth. The company now boasts a globally diversified portfolio of 18 producing assets and more than 200 royalties, anchored by cornerstone assets and operated by world-class mining partners.

The inclusion in the GDXJ is expected to further enhance Elemental's liquidity and visibility among both institutional and retail investors. This move underscores the company's growing profile in the global capital markets and its commitment to long-term value creation.
