VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BatteryOne Royalty Corp. (“BatteryOne” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated March 4, 2019, it has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of royalties from Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (“PEMC”) on projects located in the British Columbia copper belt. The portfolio includes a 1.0% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty on all metals and minerals produced (collectively, the “Royalties”) from PEMC’s Copper King, NUB East, NWT projects, and the right to acquire a 1.0% NSR on the Pinnacle Reef project (the “Projects”).

We look forward to continuing to build a pure-play nickel and copper focused royalty company that will give investors a new way to capitalize on the electric vehicle and battery storage investment thesis.”
