Trident Royalties Plc
("Trident" or the "Company")
AGM Statement
Trident Royalties Plc (AIM:TRR), the diversified mining royalty and streaming company, is pleased to provide the below statement by its Non-Executive Chairman, Paul Smith, which will be read at today's Annual General Meeting.
"2021 was a transformational year for Trident. We completed 4 investments during the year, followed by the acquisition of the gold offtake portfolio in January 2022.
This brought the total number of assets to 22, of which 12 are now producing. The impact of these transactions was reflected in our Q1 results, which saw a 400% year on year increase in royalty receipts.
Trident's business model is well suited to the current economic environment as it provides investors with exposure to commodity prices but largely without the associated inflation in operating and capital costs.
Appetite for mining development capital continues to be strong and royalties are likely to be an increasingly important component given more challenging public markets.
We believe we are well placed to continue to create value for our shareholders and we look forward to providing updates over the course of the year."

About Trident
Trident is a growth-focused diversified mining royalty and streaming company, providing investors with exposure to a mix of base battery, precious, and bulk metals.
Key highlights of Trident's strategy include:
· | Building upon a royalty and streaming portfolio which broadly mirrors the commodity exposure of the global mining sector (excluding fossil fuels) with a bias towards production or near-production assets, differentiating Trident from the majority of peers which are exclusively, or heavily weighted, to precious metals;
|
· | Acquiring royalties and streams in resource-friendly jurisdictions worldwide, while most competitors have portfolios focused on North and South America;
|
· | Targeting attractive small-to-mid size transactions which are often ignored in a sector dominated by large players;
|
· | Active deal-sourcing which, in addition to writing new royalties and streams, will focus on the acquisition of assets held by natural sellers such as: closed-end funds, prospect generators, junior and mid-tier miners holding royalties as non-core assets, and counterparties seeking to monetise packages of royalties and streams which are otherwise undervalued by the market;
|
· | Maintaining a low-overhead model which is capable of supporting a larger scale business without a commensurate increase in operating costs; and
|
· | Leveraging the experience of management, the board of directors, and Trident's adviser team, all of whom have deep industry connections and strong transactional experience across multiple commodities and jurisdictions. |
Forward-looking Statements
This news release contains forward‐looking information. The statements are based on reasonable assumptions and expectations of management and Trident provides no assurance that actual events will meet management's expectations. In certain cases, forward‐looking information may be identified by such terms as "anticipates", "believes", "could", "estimates", "expects", "may", "shall", "will", or "would". Although Trident believes the expectations expressed in such forward‐looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected. Mining exploration and development is an inherently risky business. In addition, factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from the forward-looking information stated herein include any factors which affect decisions to pursue mineral exploration on the relevant property and the ultimate exercise of option rights, which may include changes in market conditions, changes in metal prices, general economic and political conditions, environmental risks, and community and non-governmental actions. Such factors will also affect whether Trident will ultimately receive the benefits anticipated pursuant to relevant agreements. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the forward‐looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
Third Party Information
As a royalty and streaming company, Trident often has limited, if any, access to non-public scientific and technical information in respect of the properties underlying its portfolio of royalties and investments, or such information is subject to confidentiality provisions. As such, in preparing this announcement, the Company often largely relies upon information provided by or the public disclosures of the owners and operators of the properties underlying its portfolio of royalties, as available at the date of this announcement.
