Maverix Metals Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, March 24, 2020 - Maverix Metals Inc. (the "Company" or "Maverix") (NYSE American & TSX: MMX) is providing an update to its shareholders in light of the evolving and unpredictable impacts of the outbreak of COVID-19 as it relates to the Company's royalty and stream interests.

As the situation regarding COVID-19 is ever-changing, Maverix is unable to determine the impacts that it will have on global mining production levels for the year and has made the decision to withdraw the Company's 2020 attributable gold equivalent ounce guidance. To date, no specific announcements have been made by any of Maverix's operating partners indicating a material impact on the mining operations on which the Company currently holds a royalty or stream. As circumstances surrounding COVID-19 continue to develop it is reasonable to anticipate that some of Maverix's assets could be impacted.

Maverix will continue to monitor the situation closely and update the market as additional information becomes available.
