Samuel Pelaez, the Company's President, CEO, CIO and Director stated: "Gold was the best performing major commodity in March, as banking crisis headlines dominated the news. Meanwhile, copper and industrial metals were flat to down, and crude oil posted a fifth consecutive monthly decline. Macroeconomic data continues to suggest we are in a slowing economy, and the fiscal and monetary impulse is fading."

Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman stated: "Our portfolio which is heavily weighted towards base metals and privates, benefited from an increased allocation to gold in the liquid portfolio in March. We plan to continue to work to diversify and grow our portfolio, via additional acquisitions and improving our large legacy positions. Additionally, we are workings towards the launch of an Olive backed, rollover flow-through fund."

As of March 31, 2023, Olive Resource Capital Inc. has 111,768,709 common shares outstanding. The ongoing normal course issuer bid repurchased 100,000 shares during the month March. These securities are currently held in treasury pending cancellation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release contains references to NAV or "net asset value per share" which is a non-GAAP financial measure. NAV is 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. 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 financial measure presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the measure provides information useful to its shareholders in understanding the Company's performance, and may assist in the evaluation of the Company's business relative to that of its peers. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with GAAP. Existing NAV of the Company is not necessarily predictive of the Company's future performance or the NAV of the Company as at any future date.
