ELYSEE Announces Loss for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 of $11,123

08.11.2021  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, November 8, 2021 - Elysee Development Corp. (TSXV: ELC) (FSE: QLDN) wishes to announce its unaudited financial results for the three months ("Q3 2021") and nine months ended September 30, 2021. All dollar amounts are in Canadian funds.

The third quarter of 2021 was a difficult quarter for gold and silver miners as evidenced by a decline of 17.6% in the world's leading tracker of junior gold and silver miners, the GDXJ, during Q3. The impact on Elysee's investment portfolio was evident, resulting in a loss of $2,113,923 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021. Unrealized losses on marketable securities of $2,405,228 during the quarter were only partially offset by realized gains of $292,287.

After general and administrative expenses of $279,891, and taking into account transaction costs and interest and dividend income, the Company incurred a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $11,123 ($0.00 per share). Realized gains during the period of $3,818,591 outweighed unrealized losses of $3,657,636.

After paying out a three cent per share dividend for fiscal 2020 (a total of $833,178) in March 2021, the Company's Net Asset Value* ("NAV") decreased from $18.4 million on December 31, 2020 to $18 million ($0.64 per share) on September 30, 2021.

Guido Cloetens, the Chairman and CEO of Elysee, stated: "The leading trackers for gold and silver miners, the GDX and GDXJ, were down 18% and 29% respectively for the first nine months of 2021, with the TSX Global Mining index also down by 8%. During that same time period we were able to hold the course, with a loss of only $11,123 for the nine month period, by offsetting unrealized losses in our portfolio resulting from the market downturn with realized gains of $3,818,591 and reducing general and administrative expenses by over $70,000 compared to the same period a year prior. There has been a significant recovery in the indexes and the overall market for junior mining stocks since the start of October which may indicate that we reached a bottom at the end of Q3. As of October 31, 2021 our portfolio has recovered approximately $800,000 of the unrealized loss incurred during Q3 2021. With over $2.7 Million in cash on hand, we remain confident in our ability to pay an annual dividend for 2021 in Q1 2022, in accordance with our dividend policy, subject to market conditions at that time."

During the quarter Golden Valley Mines and Royalties Ltd., agreed to be acquired by Gold Royalty Corp. in in all share transaction that resulted in immediate share price appreciation of over 88% and a significant unrealized gain for Elysee as of September 30, 2021.

In September, Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. announced its intention to merge with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited with a view to creating a new leader in the gold mining industry.

The net asset value of Elysee on October 31, 2021 was $0.66 per share.

On September 30, 2021 Elysee's net asset value ("NAV") was $0.64 per share. 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.
