VANCOUVER, May 29, 2019 /CNW/ -  Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. ("Metalla" or the "Company") (TSXV: MTA) (OTCQX: MTAFF) (FRANKFURT: X9CP) is pleased to announce that its board of directors has approved and declared a monthly cash dividend payment of CAD $0.001 per share for June, July, and August on its common shares (subject to any applicable tax withholding obligations).

Brett Heath, Metalla's President & CEO commented, "The adjustment in the dividend is consistent with Metalla's intention to distribute up to half of its operating cash flow to shareholders through monthly cash dividends. The company's cash flow will rise and fall with the price of gold and silver, which gives investors a unique link to metal prices. Also, royalties on mines entering production or closing will have a direct effect on cash flows. Currently, Metalla has eleven (11) royalties on development assets, two (2) of which are expected to start producing in the second half of this year."

The table below sets out the monthly record and payment dates for shareholders of record.

DIVIDEND SCHEDULE

All dividends in the above table are 'Eligible Dividends' pursuant to the Income Tax Act of Canada.

In the first half of the calendar year 2020, assuming compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company plans to offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") once it reaches certain requirements to provide the DRIP to all of its shareholders efficiently.
