("Trident" or the "Company")
Notice of Annual General Meeting & Posting of Annual Report
Trident Royalties Plc (AIM:TRR, FSX:5KV), the growth-focused mining royalty and streaming company, is pleased to announce that its Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2020 is available on the Company's website www.tridentroyalties.com and will be posted to shareholders on 29 April 2021.
The Company's Annual General Meeting in respect of the year ended 31 December 2020, will be held at 2 p.m. on 8 June 2021 at 125 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1AR. The Notice of AGM and accompanying Form of Proxy, for the year ended 31 December 2020, will also be posted to shareholders on 29 April 2021 and made available on the Company's website.
Legislation and government guidance in the United Kingdom relating to COVID-19 continues to place restrictions on public gatherings, so shareholders will not be permitted to attend the meeting in person. The Meeting will therefore be held with the minimum attendance necessary to form a quorum (which will be facilitated by the Company).
In order to ensure that shareholders are able to follow the proceedings of the AGM, the Company will provide access online through the Investor Meet Company platform. However, shareholders will not be able to vote online during the Meeting and are therefore urged to submit their votes via proxy as early as possible.
In addition, the Company will be holding a webinar on 26 May 2021 at 5 p.m. to update shareholders on the Groups activities and also to enable shareholders to submit questions (in writing) that they may have about the resolutions proposed at the AGM and any other relevant matters. These questions can be submitted in advance of the webinar via the Investor Meet Company Platform up to 9.00am on 26 May 2021. The Board will respond to all relevant questions during the meeting (where time permits), and will provide answers on its website thereafter.
Shareholders who wish to attend either the update webinar or the AGM should register for either of these events in advance via the following link:

We reiterate that in the interests of safety no shareholders may attend the physical meeting.

About Trident
Trident is a growth-focused, diversified mining royalty and streaming company, providing investors with exposure to a mix of base and precious metals, bulk materials (excluding thermal coal) and battery metals.
Key highlights of Trident's strategy include:
· Building a royalty and streaming portfolio to broadly mirror the commodity exposure of the global mining sector (excluding thermal coal) 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.
The acquisition and aggregation of individual royalties and streams is expected to deliver strong returns for shareholders as assets are acquired on terms reflective of single asset risk compared with the lower risk profile of a diversified, larger scale portfolio. Further value is expected to be delivered by the introduction of conservative levels of leverage through debt. Once scale has been achieved, strong cash generation is expected to support an attractive dividend policy, providing investors with a desirable mix of inflation protection, growth and income.
