Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 8, 2025) - Elysee Development Corp. (TSXV: ELC) (FSE: QLDN) is pleased to announce its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025"). All dollar amounts are in Canadian funds.

Highlights from the Q1 2025 results include:

• Net income of $1,922,864 ($0.07 per share) in Q1 2025 as compared to $278,436 ($0.01 per share) in Q1 2024;
• Total investment income of $2,124,739 in Q1 2025 as compared to $394,915 in Q1 2024;

During the first three months of 2025 Elysee's investment portfolio recorded a realized gain on securities of $479,550, interest and dividend income of $54,024 and an unrealized gain on securities of $1,583,261, offset by general and administrative expenses of $201,875.

Guido Cloetens, President and CEO of Elysee Development Corp. made the following statement:

"The strong performance of the price of gold during the first quarter of 2025 had a positive impact on the gold mining sector, and gold producers in particular. Many exploration and development companies are still undervalued, however. In recent weeks some of the smaller companies Elysee owns have received take-over proposals. We're seeing a notable increase in M&A activity, and we expect this to continue if the price of gold remains strong.

With a current cash position of almost $2 million we are well positioned to profit from opportunities that may arise in the coming months."

In the latter part of Q1 2025 the Company realized gains by reducing its positions in Dundee Precious Metals Inc., Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., Almonty Industries Inc. and others. Investments were made in Premium Resources Ltd., a gold-linked note issued by West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd and several developing copper and gold companies.

On February 23, 2025 Calibre Mining received an initial merger proposal from Equinox Gold. Equinox subsequently increased its bid on April 24 to 0.35 shares of Equinox for every share of Calibre Mining, with shareholders of both companies approving the merger on May 1, 2025. On completion, the new entity will become the third largest equity investment of Elysee after US Vanadium and Arizona Sonoran Copper Company.

The most significant investments on March 31, 2025 were U.S. Vanadium LLC (privately held), Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc., Dundee Precious Metals Inc., Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, Wesdome Gold Mines Limited and OceanaGold Corporation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company did not purchase any of its shares pursuant to a Normal Course Issuer Bid. There were 28,321,613 shares outstanding at the end of the period.

For more information on these investments and others made during the period, please refer to the MD&A dated May 6, 2025 on SEDAR+ or on our website at www.elyseedevelopment.com.

On March 31, 2025, Elysee's net asset value ("NAV") was $0.49 per share compared to $0.42 on December 31, 2024. NAV is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure calculated as the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities divided by the total number of common shares outstanding as at a specific date. For the purpose of this calculation, share purchase warrants held by Elysee were valued using the Black-Scholes model calculation, as reported in our annual and quarterly financial statements. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. There is no comparable GAAP measure presented in Elysee's financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that NAV can provide information useful to its shareholders in understanding its performance and may assist in the evaluation of its business relative to that of its peers.
