Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Vox Royalty Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Vox Royalty Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in United States dollars) |
1. Nature of operations
Vox Royalty Corp. (“Vox” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s registered office is 66 Wellington Street West, Suite 5300, TD Bank Tower Box 48, Toronto, ON, M5K 1E6, Canada. The Company’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), under the ticker symbol “VOXR”.
Vox is a mining royalty company focused on growing the size of its royalty asset portfolio through accretive acquisitions. Approximately 85% of the Company’s royalty assets by royalty count are located in Australia, Canada and the United States. In the near and medium-term, the Company is prioritizing acquiring royalties on producing or near‑term producing assets (i.e. ranging from six months to three years from first production) to complement its existing portfolio of producing, development and exploration stage royalties.
2. Material accounting policy information
(a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved, and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 20, 2025.
(b) Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“$”), which is also the functional currency of the Company and its four wholly owned subsidiaries.
(c) Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: SilverStream SEZC (Cayman Islands), which in turn owns all of the shares of Vox Royalty Australia Pty Ltd. (Australia) and Vox Royalty Canada Ltd. (Ontario, Canada); and Vox Royalty USA Ltd. (Delaware, USA).
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.
(d) Foreign currency translation
In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. All foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end foreign exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
(e) Provisions
Provisions are recorded when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The Company had no significant provisions as at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
(f) Royalty interests
Royalty interests consist of acquired royalty purchase agreements. These interests are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets with finite lives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Project evaluation expenditures are recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss when management determines not to proceed with the proposed acquisition of a royalty.

Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in United States dollars) |
The major categories of the Company’s royalty interests are producing, advanced and exploration stages. Producing assets are those that have generated revenue from steady-state operations for the Company. Advanced assets are interests on projects that are not yet producing, but where in management’s view, the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. Interests for producing and advanced assets are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment. Management uses the following criteria in its assessment of technical feasibility and commercial viability: (i) geology: there is a known mineral deposit that contains mineral reserves or resources, or the project is adjacent to a mineral deposit that is already being mined or developed and there is sufficient geologic certainty of converting the deposit into mineral reserves or resources; and (ii) accessibility and authorization: there are no significant unresolved issues impacting the accessibility and authorization to develop or mine the mineral deposit, and social, environmental and governmental permits and approvals to develop or mine the mineral deposit appear obtainable. Exploration stage interests are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and are not depleted until such time as the technical feasibility and commercial viability have been established, at which point the value of the asset is categorized as being in the advanced stage.
Producing mineral royalty interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the life of the property to which the interest relates. The life of the property is estimated using life of mine models specifically associated with the mineral royalty properties, which include proven and probable reserves and may include a portion of resources expected to be converted into reserves. Where life of mine models are not available, the Company uses publicly available statements of reserves and resources for the mineral royalty properties to estimate the life of the property and portion of resources that the Company expects to be converted into reserves. Where life of mine models and publicly available reserve and resource statements are not available, depletion is based on the Company’s best estimate of the ounces to be produced and delivered under the contract. The Company relies on information available to it under contracts with operators and/or public disclosures for information on reserves and resources from the operators of the producing mineral interests.
If the cost of a royalty interest includes contingent consideration, the contingent consideration is capitalized as part of the cost of the interest when the underlying obligating event has occurred.
(g) Impairment of royalty interests
Royalty interests are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is assessed at the level of cash-generating units (“CGUs”) which, in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. This is usually at the individual royalty level for each property from which cash inflows are generated.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The future cash flow expected is derived using estimates of proven and probable reserves, a portion of resources that is expected to be converted into reserves and information regarding the mineral, respectively, that could affect the future recoverability of the Company’s interests. Discount factors are determined individually for each asset and reflect their respective risk profiles. In certain circumstances, the Company may use a market approach in determining the recoverable amount, which may include an estimate of the following: (i) net present value of estimated future cash flows; (ii) dollar value per ounce or pound of reserve/resource; (iii) cash-flow multiples; and/or (iv) market capitalization of comparable assets. Impairment losses are charged to the royalty interest and are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the conditions that gave rise to the recognition of an impairment loss are subsequently reversed and the interest’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount. Impairment losses can be reversed only to the extent that the recoverable amount does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized previously.
(h) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost, which comprises their purchase price plus any directly attributable costs of preparing the asset for its intended use. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over 10 years.
The asset’s residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
(i) Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises revenues directly earned from royalty interests. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the receipt of mineral royalties in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities.

| 7 |
|
Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in United States dollars) |
For royalty interests, the commodities are either:
|
- |
Sold by the mine operator to its customers under contracts that are established for the mining property on which the royalty interest is held. The Company recognizes revenue from these sales when control over the commodity transfers from the mine operator to its customer. The transfer of control occurs when the mine operator delivers the commodity to the customer, and at that point, the risk and rewards of ownership transfer to the customer and the Company has an unconditional right to payment under the royalty agreement. |
|
- |
Processed ore by the mine operator at the mining property on which the royalty is held. The Company recognizes revenue when the ore is processed. The transfer of control occurs when the mine operator delivers the quarterly royalty statement to the Company, and at that point, the Company has an unconditional right to payment under the royalty agreement. |
Revenue from the royalty arrangement is measured at the transaction price agreed in the royalty arrangement with the operator of each mining property. The transaction price is typically either, (i) the percentage of gross revenues associated with the commodity sold to the mine operator’s customer, less contractually allowable costs, if any, per the terms of the royalty arrangement, or (ii) a specific dollar amount per tonne or ounce processed by the mine operator, per the terms of the royalty agreement.
In some instances, the Company will not have access to sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of revenue and, accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until management can make a reasonable estimate. Differences between estimates and actual amounts are adjusted and recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known.
(j) Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from the proceeds in equity in the period where the transaction occurs.
The fair value of common shares issued for goods and services is based on the fair value of the goods or services received unless the fair value cannot be readily determined. If the fair value cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the market closing price on the date the shares are issued, while the fair value of share purchase warrants is estimated using the quoted market price or, if the warrants are not traded, using the Black-Scholes model (“BSM”) as of the date of issuance.
(k) Share-based compensation
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for share purchase options, restricted share units (“RSU”) and performance share units (“PSU”) granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants under the Company’s equity-based incentive plans. The Company maintains an omnibus long-term incentive plan dated June 8, 2023 (the “LTIP”), as well as a prior omnibus long-term incentive plan dated May 19, 2020 which remains in force only until all awards granted thereunder have been exercised or have expired (together with the LTIP, the “Plans”).
Share purchase options
The fair value of share purchase options is determined by using the BSM, with market related inputs as of the grant date. The BSM requires management to estimate the expected volatility, expected term, risk-free rate of return over the term, expected dividends and the number of equity instruments expected to ultimately vest. Volatility is estimated using the historic stock price of the Company and similar listed entities, the expected term is estimated using historical exercise data of the Company and similar listed entities, and the number of equity instruments expected to vest is estimated using historical forfeiture data.
The fair values of share purchase options at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods with a corresponding increase to equity. Share purchase options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values.
Restricted share units
The fair value of RSUs is determined by the market value of the underlying shares at the date of the grant. Under the Company’s Plans, the Board of Directors has the discretion to settle the vested RSUs in cash or equity. All RSU agreements entered into by the Board of Directors from the date of incorporation through December 31, 2024, do not give the Company or the holder the option to settle in cash and can only be equity settled. As the Company does not have a present obligation to settle the issued RSUs in cash, the RSUs issued have been treated as equity-settled instruments. The fair values of RSUs at the date of grant are expensed over the vesting periods with a corresponding increase to equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of any revisions to this estimate in equity.
Performance share units
The fair value of PSUs is determined by the market value of the underlying shares at the date of the grant. Under the Company’s Plans, the Board of Directors has the discretion to settle the vested PSUs in cash or equity. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no PSUs outstanding. In past periods, the fair values of PSUs at the date of grant were expensed over the vesting periods with a corresponding increase to other liabilities, as the number of common shares to be settled was not fixed.

|
Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in United States dollars) |
(l) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and short-term deposits held with banks with original maturities of three months or less. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
(m) Basic and diluted income per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings or loss of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for shares held in escrow that are subject to contingent release based on conditions other than the passage of time.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the earnings or loss and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for shares held in escrow that are subject to contingent release based on conditions other than the passage of time and for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise share options granted and RSUs granted. Potential common shares that are considered anti-dilutive are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share.
(n) Income taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used are those that are substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for accounting. The change in the net deferred income tax asset or liability is included in income or loss, except for deferred income taxes relating to equity items, which are recognized directly in equity. The income tax effects of differences in the periods when revenue and expenses are recognized in accordance with the Company’s accounting practices, and the periods they are recognized for income tax purposes are reflected as deferred income tax assets or liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the substantively enacted statutory income tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets are realized or the liabilities settled. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available for utilization. Temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit are not recognized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity and are intended to be settled on a net basis.
The determination of current and deferred taxes requires interpretations of tax legislation, estimates of expected timing of reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and estimates of future earnings.
(o) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial assets:
Initial recognition and measurement
Non-derivative financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) are classified and measured as financial assets at fair value, as either fair value through profit and loss (“FVPL”) or fair value through other comprehensive loss (“FVOCI”), and financial assets at amortized cost, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition based on the Company’s business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Subsequent measurement– financial assets at amortized cost
After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company measures cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable at amortized cost.

| 9 |
|
Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in United States dollars) |
Subsequent measurement – financial assets at FVPL
Financial assets measured at FVPL include financial assets management intends to sell in the short term and any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial assets measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expenses in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company measures investments at FVPL.
Subsequent measurement – financial assets at FVOCI
Financial assets measured at FVOCI are non-derivative financial assets that are not held for trading and the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to measure the assets at FVOCI. The Company does not measure any financial assets at FVOCI.
After initial measurement, investments measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. When the investment is sold, the cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends from such investments are recognized in other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss when the right to receive payments is established.
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial liabilities:
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVPL, as is the case for held for trading or derivative instruments, or the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVPL. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.
Subsequent measurement– financial liabilities at amortized cost
After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in other expenses in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Subsequent measurement – financial liabilities at FVPL
Financial liabilities measured at FVPL include any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial liabilities measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company measures other liabilities as a financial liability at FVPL.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
(p) Impairment
Financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (‘‘ECLs’’) on financial assets measured at amortized cost.
The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 for receivables, which requires lifetime ECLs to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. In order to measure the ECLs, receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

| 10 |
|
Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in United States dollars) |
Receivables are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. Impairment losses on receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating income. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amount of the Company’s long-lived non-financial assets, including interests and intangible assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate an impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its estimated value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In estimating value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets. This is usually at the individual royalty interests level for each property from which independent cash flows are generated.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized. Losses are recognized in profit or loss. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(q) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Company’s operating segments are components of the Company’s business for which discrete financial information is available and that are reviewed regularly by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company operated in one reportable segment being the acquisition of royalty interests.
(r) Changes in accounting policies
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that were required to be adopted effective January 1, 2024. These standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s current or future reporting periods.
Amendments – IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Non-current Liabilities with Covenants)
Amendments made to IAS 1 in 2020 and 2022 clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is affected by the entity’s expectations or events after the reporting date (e.g., the receipt of a waiver or a breach of covenant). Covenants of loan arrangements will not affect classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date if the entity must only comply with the covenants after the reporting date. However, if the entity must comply with a covenant either before or at the reporting date, this will affect the classification as current or non-current even if the covenant is only tested for compliance after the reporting date.
The amendments require disclosures if an entity classifies a liability as non-current and that liability is subject to covenants that the entity must comply with within 12 months of the reporting date. The disclosures includes the following:
|
- |
the carrying amount of the liability; |
|
- |
information about the covenants; and |
|
- |
facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate that the entity may have difficulty complying with the covenants. |

| 11 |
|
Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in United States dollars) |
The amendments also clarify what IAS 1 means when it refers to the “settlement” of a liability. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instrument can only be ignored for the purpose of classifying the liability as current or non-current if the entity classifies the option as an equity instrument. However, conversion options that are classified as a liability must be considered when determining the current/non-current classification of a convertible note.
The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with the normal requirements in IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errorsand are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. These amendments did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(s) Recent accounting pronouncements
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The amendments have an effective date of later than December 31, 2024, with earlier application permitted.
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, IFRS 18 was issued to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities. The standard, which replaces IAS 1, impacts the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of earnings where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements, and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.
3. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Information about significant sources of estimation uncertainty and judgments made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements are described below.
Valuation of share-based compensation
Management determines the costs for share-based compensation using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant for stock options and RSUs, using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgment is used in applying the valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the share price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates and future share option exercise behaviours and corporate performance. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates of share-based compensation and.
Reserves and resources
The Company’s business is the acquisition of royalties. This amount represents the capitalized expenditures related to the acquisition of royalty interests, net of accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges, if any. The Company estimates the reserves, resources and exploration potential relating to each agreement. Reserves are estimates of the amount of minerals that can be economically and legally extracted from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has royalty agreements. Resources are estimates of the amount of minerals contained in mineralized material for which there is a reasonable prospect for economic extraction from the mining properties in respect of which the Company has royalty agreements. Exploration potential represents an estimate of additional reserves and resources that may be discovered through the mine operator’s exploration program. The Company adjusts its estimates of reserves, resources (where applicable) and exploration potential (where applicable) to reflect the Company’s percentage entitlement to minerals produced from such mines. The Company compiles its estimates of its reserves and resources based on information supplied by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, density and grade of the ore body, and requires complex geological and geostatistical judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves and resources is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. The Company estimates exploration potential based on assumptions surrounding the ore body continuity, which requires judgment as to future success of any exploration programs undertaken by the mine operator. Changes in the reserve estimates, resource estimates or exploration potential estimates may impact the carrying value of the Company’s royalty interests and depletion charges.

Impairment and reversal of impairment of royalty interests
Assessment of impairment and reversal of impairment of royalty interests at the end of each reporting period requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates when assessing whether there are any indicators that give rise to the requirement to conduct an impairment or impairment reversal analysis on the Company’s royalty interests. Indicators which could trigger an impairment or impairment reversal analysis include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in operator reserve and resource estimates, operating status, change in permitting and concession rights, industry or economic trends, current or forecast commodity prices, and other relevant operator information. The assessment of fair values requires the use of estimates and assumptions for recoverable production, long-term commodity prices, discount rates, reserve/resource conversion, foreign exchange rates, future capital expansion plans and the associated attributable production implications. In addition, the Company may use other approaches in determining fair value which may include judgment and estimates related to (i) dollar value per ounce or pound of reserve/resource, (ii) cash-flow multiples and (iii) market capitalization of comparable assets. Changes in any of the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of the royalty interests could impact the impairment or impairment reversal analysis.
Income taxes
The interpretation and application of new and existing tax laws or regulations in Canada, Australia, the United States of America or any of the countries in which the Company’s royalty interests are located requires the use of judgment. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position considering all available evidence. Differing interpretation of these laws, regulations or rules could result in an increase in the Company’s taxes, or other governmental charges, duties or impositions.

Royalties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2023
Royalty Portfolio
On September 12, 2023, Vox completed the acquisition of a portfolio of nine royalties from an Australian Company (the “Seller”). The royalties include three development stage and six exploration stage royalties in Australia, including a 4% gross revenue royalty (“GRR”) over the Red Hill gold project and a 3% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) over the Horseshoe Lights copper project. The aggregate purchase price consisted of (i) cash consideration that was paid to the Seller on closing of $4,363,285 (A$6,750,000), and (ii) non-cash consideration being Vox providing ongoing royalty-related services to the vendor from Vox’s proprietary database of royalties.
On October 18, 2023, Vox completed the acquisition of a pre-production gold royalty over a portion of the Plutonic Gold Mine complex in Western Australia. The Plutonic East gold royalty is a sliding scale tonnage royalty. The aggregate purchase price consisted of total cash consideration that was paid on closing of $797,703 (A$1,250,000).
The Company incurred $44,743 of legal and professional fees relating to the acquisition of the royalty portfolio.

British King Royalty (reversal of impairment charge)
On September 21, 2023, SilverStream SEZC (“SilverStream”) agreed to the following:
|
- |
SilverStream’s historical 1.5% NSR on the first 10,000oz produced and 5.25% gold stream thereafter originally granted to SilverStream by the prior operator was extinguished; |
|
- |
a new 1.25% NSR gold royalty interest was assigned to Vox Royalty Australia Pty Ltd (“Vox Australia”) by the prior operator in connection with the transfer of the project from the prior operator to the new operator; and |
|
- |
Vox received $126,390 (A$200,000) for reimbursement of legal fees, which was recorded as a reduction of project evaluation expenses in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. |
As a result of the new 1.25% NSR gold royalty assigned to Vox by the prior operator, the Company considered this an indicator of impairment reversal and determined that the recoverable amount was $250,000, which was recognized as an impairment reversal in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Janet Ivy
On November 24, 2023, the Company issued 948,448 common shares as a single milestone payment relating to the Janet Ivy gold royalty acquired on March 29, 2021, for total consideration of $1,963,315. The milestone payment became due upon cumulative royalty receipts from Janet Ivy exceeding A$750,000.
Goldlund
On January 24, 2023, the Company issued 215,769 common shares as a second milestone payment relating to the Canadian gold portfolio it acquired on June 3, 2022, for total consideration of $495,446.
On December 13, 2023, the Company issued 175,660 common shares as a final milestone payment relating to the Canadian gold portfolio acquired on June 3, 2022, for total consideration of $362,693.
Hawkins
On December 22, 2023, Vox completed the acquisition of a 0.5% NSR royalty on the Hawkins gold exploration project in Ontario, Canada. The aggregate purchase price consisted of total cash consideration paid on closing of $75,426 (C$100,000).
Impairment
During the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company became aware that the operator of the Alce exploration project did not renew the relevant mining claims and, therefore, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. As a result, the Company concluded that the Alce royalty should by fully impaired as of June 30, 2023, and the carrying value of the investment of $500,000 was reduced to $nil.
During the period ended December 31, 2023, the Company became aware that the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects (“Peru Projects”) did not renew all or substantially all of the relevant mining claims and therefore the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. As a result, the Company fully impaired the four royalties as of December 31, 2023, and the carrying value of the investment of $1,000,000 was reduced to $nil. The Company has filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects. Pursuant to the original agreement signed with the operator on July 15, 2021, if any of the four exploration projects became relinquished within three years of signing the original agreement, the operator must promptly provide Vox with a replacement royalty for each relinquished royalty, with each replacement royalty having a value of at least $250,000. To the extent Vox is granted one or more replacement royalties, the Company expects to reverse up to $1,000,000 of the Q4 2023 impairment charge, which would increase net income by the equivalent amount.
Deferred royalty acquisitions
There was $nil deferred royalty acquisitions as at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Deferred royalty acquisitions relate to costs incurred prior to the execution and closing of a royalty acquisition. Deferred royalty acquisition costs are reallocated to royalty interests upon signing of a definitive agreement. If management determines not to proceed with a proposed acquisition, the deferred costs are expensed as project evaluation expenses.

On January 16, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) providing for a $15,000,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility includes an accordion feature, which provides for an additional $10,000,000 of availability, subject to certain conditions. The Facility, secured against the assets of the Company, is available for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, and investments, subject to certain limitations. At the Company’s election, amounts drawn on the Facility bear interest at either (i) a rate determined by reference to the U.S. dollar base rate plus a margin of 1.5% to 2.5% per annum, or (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus a margin of 2.60% to 3.60% per annum. The undrawn portion of the Facility is subject to a standby fee of 0.5625% to 0.7875% per annum, all of which is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement with BMO dated January 16, 2024). The Facility had an initial term that matures on December 31, 2025 and is extendable one year at a time through mutual agreement between Vox and BMO. The Facility includes covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including the Company’s leverage ratios and meet certain non-financial requirements. As at December 31, 2024, Vox was in compliance with all such covenants.
On December 20, 2024, the maturity date of the Facility was extended from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2026, with the option of future extensions by mutual agreement between Vox and BMO.
As at December 31, 2024, no amounts were outstanding under the Facility.

On June 12, 2024, 240,000 stock options were granted to a non-related third-party service provider as consideration for its consulting services. The stock options granted have an exercise price of C$4.16 per share and expire on March 9, 2027. The Company determined the fair value of the consulting services provided based on similar consulting agreements entered into by the Company with other non-related third-party service providers. The stock options vest in 25% increments, on each of June 12, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024. The share-based compensation expense related to the stock option grant has been recorded over the vesting period, being the duration of the 2024 calendar year, as per the terms of the consulting services agreement.
Performance Share Units
The Plans provide that the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, grant directors, officers, employees and consultants non-transferable PSUs based on the value of the Company’s share price at the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to issue cash or equity to settle the vested PSUs. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no PSUs outstanding. In past periods, the PSUs issued were treated as derivative instruments because the number of shares to be eventually issued was based on a percentage of the common shares outstanding at the time the performance hurdle was to be met.
As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were nil PSUs outstanding. A summary of the PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 was as follows:
|
- |
895,166 PSUs outstanding on January 1, 2023, with a weighted average fair value of $0.23; and |
|
- |
Expiry of 895,166 PSUs on December 31, 2023, with a weighted average fair value of $nil. |
Restricted Share Units
The Plans provide that the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, grant directors, officers, employees and consultants non-transferable RSUs based on the value of the Company’s share price at the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to settle vested RSUs in cash or equity. All RSU agreements entered into by the Board of Directors from the date of incorporation through December 31, 2024, do not give the Company or the holder the option to settle in cash and can only be equity settled. As the Company does not have a present obligation to settle the issued RSUs in cash, the RSUs issued have been treated as equity-settled instruments and measured at the grant date fair value.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, 990,804 RSUs were granted, and vest as follows:
|
- |
968,448 RSUs vest in 25% increments on each of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025. |
|
- |
22,356 RSUs vest in 1/3 increments on each of December 31, 2024, June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025. |
The share-based compensation expense related to RSU grants is recorded over the vesting period.

Titan
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company and SilverStream became aware that the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects did not renew all or substantially all of the relevant mining concessions and therefore the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. As a result, the Company fully impaired the four royalties as of December 31, 2023, and the carrying value of the investment of $1,000,000 was reduced to $nil. The Company has filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, as discussed below, against the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects. Pursuant to the original agreement signed with the operator on July 15, 2021, if any of the four exploration projects became relinquished within three years of signing the original agreement, the operator must promptly provide Vox with a replacement royalty for each relinquished royalty and with each replacement royalty having a value of at least $250,000. To the extent Vox is granted one or more replacement royalties, the Company expects to reverse up to $1,000,000 of the 2023 impairment charge, which would increase net income by the equivalent amount. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no replacement royalties have been granted.
SilverStream filed a writ and statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Titan Minerals Limited (“Titan”) on February 23, 2024, along with an amended writ and statement of claim on March 28, 2024, in respect of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects. SilverStream is seeking to enforce its rights to be issued replacement royalties and/or damages in respect of Titan’s failure to maintain certain mining concessions in Peru in accordance with various royalty deeds entered into between Titan and SilverStream in 2021. As at December 31, 2024, the proceeding is ongoing.
Aurenne
Vox Australia filed a writ and statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Aurenne MIT Pty Ltd (“Aurenne”) on November 8, 2024, in respect of the Mt Ida royalty asset. Vox Australia is seeking a court declaration regarding the unreasonable withholding of consent by Aurenne to certain transaction and assignment documentation. As at December 31, 2024, the proceeding is ongoing.

Unrecognized deferred tax liabilities
The aggregate amount of taxable temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries, for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized as at December 31, 2024, is $18,357,000 (December 31, 2023 - $13,841,000). No deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries because the Company controls the timing of reversal and it is not probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future.
Tax loss carryforwards
As at December 31, 2024, the Company has deductible Canadian non-capital tax losses of $9,511,000 related to the Company’s Canadian parent and subsidiary, with non-capital tax losses expiring between the years 2038 and 2044, $277,000 from the Company’s United States subsidiary, and $nil from the Company’s Australian subsidiary. The Company’s Cayman Islands subsidiary has a tax rate of 0%; therefore, there is no deductible temporary difference that can apply.

18. Financial instruments
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no material changes to the risks, objectives, policies and procedures during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and royalty receivables in the ordinary course of business. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company maintains its cash in high-quality financial institutions and closely monitors its royalty receivable balances. The Company’s royalty receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Vox’s royalty portfolio.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account anticipated cash flows from operations and holding of cash and cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,754,391 (December 31, 2023 - $9,342,880) and working capital of $9,234,339 (December 31, 2023 - $10,378,752).
Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net loss due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable denominated in Canadian and Australian dollars. Based on the Company’s Canadian- and Australian-denominated monetary assets and liabilities at December 31, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net loss and other comprehensive loss by $440,000.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to the Facility being subject to floating interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates. During the period ended December 31, 2024, a 1% increase (decrease) in nominal interest rates would have increased (decreased) net loss and other comprehensive loss by approximately $150,000.
The Company has cash balances with rates that fluctuate with the prevailing market rate. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in cash accounts or short-term interest-bearing securities issued by chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company does not use any derivative instrument to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
Commodity and share price risk
The Company’s royalties are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of precious and base metals are the primary drivers of the Company’s profitability and ability to generate free cash flow. All of the Company’s future revenue is not hedged in order to provide shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.
The Company’s financial results may be significantly affected by a decline in the price of precious, base and/or ferrous metals. The price of precious, base and ferrous metals can fluctuate widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable on the consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments.
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value after initial recognition.

These financial instruments are measured at fair value utilizing non-observable market inputs. The gains and losses were recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Capital management
The Company’s primary objective when managing capital is to maximize returns for its shareholders by growing its asset base through accretive acquisitions of royalty interests, while optimizing its capital structure by balancing debt and equity.

As at December 31, 2024, the capital structure of the Company consists of $43,060,199 (December 31, 2023 - $44,923,670) of total equity, comprising of share capital, equity reserves and deficit.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than as disclosed for the Facility.
19. Subsequent events

Overview
Vox is a returns focused mining royalty company with a portfolio of over 60 royalties spanning six jurisdictions (Australia, Canada, the United States, Brazil, Peru, and South Africa). The Company was established in 2014 and has since built unique intellectual property, a technically focused transactional team and a global sourcing network that has allowed Vox to target the highest returns on royalty acquisitions in the mining royalty sector. Since the beginning of 2020, Vox has announced over 30 separate transactions to acquire over 60 royalties.

| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Vox operates a unique business model within the royalty space, which it believes offers it competitive advantages. Of these advantages, some are inherent to the Company’s business model, such as the diverse approach to finding global royalties providing it with a broader pipeline of opportunities to act on. Other competitive advantages have been strategically built since the Company’s formation, including its 2020 acquisition of Mineral Royalties Partnership Ltd.’s proprietary royalty database of over 8,500 royalties globally (“MRO”). The MRO database is not commercially available to the Company’s competitors. The MRO database vertically integrates global mining royalties with mineral deposits and mining claims, which provides the Company with the first-mover advantage to execute bilateral, non-brokered royalty acquisition transactions, which make up the majority of the historical acquisitions of the Company, in addition to brokered royalty acquisition opportunities available to other mining royalty companies. The Company also has an experienced technical team that consists of mining engineers and geologists who can objectively review the quality of assets and all transaction opportunities, in light of the cyclical nature of mineral prices.
Vox’s business model is focused on managing and growing its portfolio of royalties. The Company’s long-term goal is to provide its shareholders with a model which provides: (i) exposure to precious and industrial metals price optionality, (ii) a discovery option over large areas of geologically prospective lands, (iii) limited exposure to many of the risks associated with operating mining companies, (iv) a business model that can generate cash through the entire commodity cycle, and (v) a diversified business in which a large number of assets can be managed with scalability. Vox has a long-term investment outlook and recognizes the cyclical nature of the industry.
The Company is focused on growing the size of its royalty asset portfolio through accretive acquisitions. As at the date of this MD&A, approximately 85% of the Company’s royalty assets by royalty count are located in Australia, Canada and the United States. Specifically, the Company’s portfolio currently includes seven producing assets and twenty‑two development assets that are in the PEA/PFS/feasibility stage, or that have potential to be toll‑treated via a nearby mill or that may restart production operations after care and maintenance.
In the near and medium-term, the Company is prioritizing acquiring royalties on producing or near‑term producing assets (i.e. ranging from six months to three years from first production) to complement its existing portfolio of producing, development and exploration stage royalties. Historically, and subject to a number of commercial factors (including, but not limited to royalty percentage and ore-body coverage; royalty payment terms and deductions; royalty buy-back rights; the commodity type, location and operator of a particular mining project; project information rights; and security or guarantees relating to the payment of royalties), producing and near-term producing royalty assets tend to transact at deal sizes larger than the Company’s average purchase price for its acquisitions to date. Therefore, while the Company continues to target accretive acquisition opportunities at all stages of project development, the Company’s average deal size is expected to increase over time as part of the Company’s broader growth plans.
The Company’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), both under the ticker symbol “VOXR”.

| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
On July 26, 2024, Mineral Resources Limited (“Mineral Resources”) announced for fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024) the following updates:
|
| · | Heritage and environmental surveys continue across Wonmunna, Lamb Creek and Iron Valley ahead of fiscal year 2025 (“FY25”) drilling. Exploration activities expected to commence in August 2024 across all three projects over a 10-month period. |
|
| · | Full year shipments from the Pilbara Hub were 10.4M wet metric tonnes (“wmt”), at the higher end of full fiscal year guidance of 9.0 – 10.5M wmt. |
|
| · | Full year FOB operating costs were A$74/wmt and within fiscal year 2024 guidance (A$67-A$77/wmt). |
On January 30, 2025, Mineral Resources announced the following operating performance for the December quarter:
|
| · | Pilbara Hub shipments, comprised of ore from Wonmunna mine and Iron Valley mine exported via Port Hedland, were flat quarter-over-quarter, totalling 2.444M wmt shipped in the quarter. |
|
| · | Quarterly FOB operating costs were expected to be in line with FY25 guidance of A$76-A$86/wmt. |
Mineral Resources has proposed the addition of Lamb Creek, a greenfields mine (non-royalty linked) to form part of the Pilbara Hub that is expected to be blended with Wonmunna and Iron Valley ore and exported as a blended product at Utah Point. Based on operator disclosure, including Mineral Resources' annual report dated October 25, 2024, plus Vox management expectations, Lamb Creek is expected to commence production some time between late 2025 – 2027, subject to permitting approvals, brownfields exploration results and capital prioritisation. The proportion of future production from Wonmunna, Iron Valley and Lamb Creek in the Pilbara Hub blend is subject to ongoing assessments by Mineral Resources of the technical viability (including iron grade/content and chemical contaminants such as phosphorous, alumina and silica) and economic viability of each mine to contribute to a marketable and value-maximising blended iron ore product.
Wonmunna Mine
Mineral Resources achieved record production volumes at the Wonmunna mine in calendar 2024.
The Wonmunna mine has been producing at an annualised rate of 5 – 7Mtpa over the past two years. Based on current operator disclosure, Vox expects a similar range of production levels to continue over the next twelve months, with production volumes thereafter expected be more variable, subject to each of the factors identified in the “Pilbara Hub” sub-section above. These factors may also be influenced or offset by additional exploration success at Wonmunna, and Vox management notes that exploration drilling commenced in October 2024. Vox management reiterates its prior expectations for production to continue at Wonmunna into 2028, as set out in the Company’s news releases dated August 10, 2022.
In October 2024, Mineral Resources stated that geological reconnaissance and drill planning had begun for Wonmunna and Lamb Creek.
Bulong/Myhree (Operating - Australia) – 1.0% NSR
In May 2024, Black Cat announced an updated study on the broader Kal East gold project, indicating that initial production is expected to start from the Myhree and Boundary open pits, later transitioning to the Myhree Underground deposit. In a separate press release in May 2024, Black Cat announced the signing of an ore sale agreement with the nearby Paddington gold mill, expected to start in Q3 2024, and the execution of a term sheet with a mining services firm for the development and hauling of ore from the Myhree open pit.
Subsequently, in June 2024, Black Cat announced that development work had commenced at Myhree, which includes clearing the open pit and infrastructure areas, haul road construction, site setup and personnel onboarding.
In July 2024, Black Cat announced that mining had started and was advancing rapidly at Myhree, with the completion of site set-up and onboarding of personnel, 24-hour operations starting on July 25, 2024 and achieving Stage 1 of 2 within the open pit ahead of plan. First ore was mined on July 26, 2024, on track to be hauled to the Paddington gold mill in starting in September. The operator also said that the mine design is being reoptimized to factor in current gold prices.
Further, in August 2024, Black Cat stated that the Myhree open pit was now at 12.5m below surface and that approximately 30kt of ore had been mined to date, well ahead of plan. The first ore stockpile was hauled to the Paddington gold mill one month ahead of schedule. The operator also stated that an additional excavator is to be used to further expedite material movement.
In October 2024, Black Cat announced that the first gold doré from Myhree ore had been produced, following processing of the first ore batch at the Paddington gold mill. The company also announced a A$80 million raise to accelerate the development and expansion of their gold projects, including the build or acquisition of a standalone processing plant at Kal East, as well as further drilling and development.
In November 2024, Black Cat announced that a contract for the study of the expansion of the Kal East processing facility had been awarded, and engineering work had commenced in line with their project acceleration strategy including reoptimizing open pit and underground deposits to feed the expanded mill.
In December 2024, Vox received inaugural royalty revenue from Black Cat related to gold produced for Q3 2024 from the Myhree gold deposit and processed at the Paddington gold mill.

Brauna (Operating - Brazil) – 0.5% GSR
In February 2024, Golden Share Resources Corporation, currently undertaking a business combination transaction with Lipari Diamond Mines Ltd. (“Lipari”), provided an update on the Brauna mine, stating a transitioned focus from an open pit mine to an underground operation. Lipari conducted the initial blast of the mine portal below the Brauna 3 kimberlite (below the current open pit), which is expected to add four years of mine life. Lipari also completed a private placement to fund the commencement and development of the underground operations.
In June 2024, Lipari announced that open pit mine and engineering designs were complete for various future kimberlites (Brauna 7, 18 and 8-21), and that trial mining of these kimberlites was expected to commence in late 2025.
In December 2024, Golden Share Resources Corporation and Lipari announced the conditional approval of their listing application to the Cboe Canada Exchange following the completion of their transaction and planned rename to Lipari Mining Ltd. in 2025.
Otto Bore (Operating – Australia) – 2.5% NSR (applicable to production between 42koz – 100koz)
In January 2024, Northern Star indicated that mining activities for the Thunderbox mill focused on Thunderbox underground, Thunderbox open pits (including Otto Bore) and another satellite deposit. Similarly, in February 2024, Northern Star continued to flag the Otto Bore deposit as a potential mill feed source for fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025.
During Q4 2024, the production hurdle was met and inaugural royalty revenue was recognized during the quarter.
In January 2025, Northern Star reported that mining was completed at the Otto Bore deposit at the end of December 2024; however, it expects processing of the ore stockpile to continue for the next 12-18 months, with Vox realizing revenue in accordance with the royalty contract.
Castle Hill (Operating – Australia), Kunanalling (Development – Australia) and West Kundana (Development – Australia) – Various royalty rates
In July 2024, Evolution stated that the Mungari expansion was on track, with A$63.9 million spent in the second quarter, allocating A$36.6 million to the Mill expansion, A$10.1 million to mine development, A$8.5 million to the Castle Hill camp, and A$3.4 million to the underground fleet.
In August 2024, Evolution provided a more detailed update on the Mungari 4.2 Project, stating that the mill expansion is now approximately halfway through the build period, with completion expected in Q1 2026. The operator also flagged both the Castle Hill and Kunanalling deposits as likely baseload open pit ore feed to the mill. Contractor involvement was on track, and the haul road to Castle Hill is now under construction. Evolution also highlighted the royalty-linked Ultrabark deposit in its disclosure for the first time.
In October 2024, Evolution provided a detailed update on their Mungari mine life extension and mill expansion project, stating that the Mungari 4.2 Project, is slightly ahead of schedule and within budget. Capital spend was ~A$60 million during the September quarter and remained within the approved capital budget of A$250 million. Construction of the Castle Hill village had commenced, and NRW Holdings Limited was awarded the Castle Hill open pit mining contract on October 8, 2024, a A$360 million contract scheduled to commence in November 2024 and expected to be completed by mid-2030, employing an average of 150 personnel.
Subsequently, in November 2024, Vox received inaugural royalty revenue from Evolution related to gold production from the Rayjax gold deposit on mining lease M15/1831. Ore from Rayjax is processed via the Mungari mill.
Koolyanobbing (Operating - Australia) – 2.0% FOB Royalty
In June 2024, Mineral Resources announced a decision to ramp down and temporarily cease operations of its Yilgarn Hub (which includes Koolyanobbing) by the end of 2024 based on the results of a comprehensive evaluation of its operations, citing significant capital expenditure requirements and long lead times to develop new resources. The operator will continue to consider options for the assets, and indicated that exploration drilling will continue into 2025.
In July 2024, Mineral Resources stated that 1,758m across 19 holes had been drilled at Koolyanobbing South as part of their strategy to target near-pit extensions and green fields exploration.
In October 2024, Mineral Resources stated that exploration efforts were concentrated on advancing Direct Shipping Ore (“DSO”) targets through near-pit extensions and greenfield exploration. Detailed geological mapping and reconnaissance work was conducted across nearby JV DSO opportunities, including Koolyanobbing, Mt Jackson, Parker Range and Mt Finnerty.
Red Hill (Development - Australia) – 4.0% GRR
In May 2024, Northern Star announced a significant increase to Red Hill’s inferred mineral resource of 58% to 1.9 Moz Au (49.9Mt at 1.2g/t Au), representing an overall increase to both tonnage and average grade over the previous estimate from March 2023. Additionally, a maiden reserve of 0.6 Moz Au (15.9Mt at 1.1g/t Au) enabled by recent exploration drilling which increased confidence in the geological and grade continuity.

| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Northern Star also indicated that the selected mining method for the Red Hill deposit is conventional open pit mining, with material expected to be hauled by truck to the Fimiston Processing Plant at the KGCM operation, which is currently undergoing a major expansion.
Further drilling is expected to continue to test the current resource area for bulk potential below the Red Hill pit.
In August 2024, Northern Star provided additional detail around its strategy to expand yearly production rates at KGCM to 650koz Au by fiscal year 2026, and 900koz Au by fiscal year 2029. Northern Star’s strategy is underpinned by the ongoing A$1.5 billion expansion of the Fimiston Processing Plant, which is expected to see capacity increase from 13Mtpa to 27Mtpa.

Management’s 2025 outlook on royalty revenue is based on publicly available information of the owners or operators of projects on which the Company has a royalty interest and which management believes to be reliable. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, management seeks to obtain internal forecasts from the owners or operators, if available, or generates internal best estimates based on the information available. Achievement of the 2025 royalty revenue guidance above is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in commodity prices and the ability of operators to attain the results set out in their forecasts. Accordingly, Vox cannot provide assurance that the actual royalty revenue for 2025 will be in the range set forth above. In addition, management may or may not revise our guidance during the year to reflect more current information. If Vox is unable to achieve anticipated guidance, or if management revises its guidance, the Company’s future results of operations may be adversely affected, and the Company’s share price may decline.
Key growth assets for the Company for 2025 include, based primarily on public disclosure of third-party operators:
|
| · | The Binduli North gold heap leach project in Western Australia, which officially opened in Q3 2022 and continues to be optimised by Zijin and where Vox holds an A$0.50/t royalty over material from the Janet Ivy mining lease. |
|
| · | The Bulong 1.0% NSR gold royalty in Western Australia, with operator Black Cat commencing production in Q3 2024 at the Myhree open pit. |
|
| · | The Castle Hill A$40/oz gold royalty in Western Australia, with operator Evolution commencing small-scale production in Q3 2024 at the Rayjax open pit prior to commencement of larger-scale mining at the Castle Hill open pit deposit in 2026. |
|
| · | The Otto Bore 2.5% NSR gold royalty (on cumulative 42Koz-100Koz production) in Western Australia, where Northern Star reached the 42Koz hurdle in Q4 2024, with inaugural royalty revenue recognized during the quarter and ore stockpile processing ongoing. |
Over the coming two to three years, the Company expects growth to be fuelled by:
|
| · | The Red Hill 4.0% GRR gold royalty in Western Australia, which continues to be actively drilled by Northern Star and which was classified as being at Feasibility stage and a potential ore source for the Fimiston plant. |
|
| · | The Plutonic East sliding scale gold royalty in Western Australia, where operator Catalyst has commenced dewatering and rehabilitation of the Plutonic East underground infrastructure. |
|
| · | The Cardinia 1.0% GRR gold royalty (>10koz), which is expected to commence mining in Q4 2025 based on operator disclosure from Genesis Minerals. |
|
| · | The Horseshoe Lights 3.0% NSR copper and gold royalty, where Horseshoe Metals is exploring near-term cash flow opportunities to be unlocked from extensive gold and copper surface stockpiles. |
|
| · | The Puzzle Group deposits which are a potential ore source for Genesis’ Leonora operations. |
|
| · | The Sulphur Springs copper-zinc project which is being studied as both a feasibility-stage underground sulphide operation by Develop Global and a scoping-stage oxide heap leach operation by Anax. |

| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Additional Opportunities
Although the Company is primarily focused on building its portfolio of royalties, Vox management believes that there may be opportunities to maximize the value of its assets through (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of certain royalties, or the right to acquire certain royalties, to third parties, (ii) the licensing of certain intellectual property, such as non-core mineral royalty data contained in the Company’s MRO database, (iii) the acquisition of equity interests in special purpose vehicles or other entities which hold a mining royalty or mining royalties, or (iv) other strategic opportunities, with or without third party involvement. Vox is committed to maximizing per share shareholder value and will consider creative opportunities to achieve this commitment as the royalty sector evolves.

Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Operating results herein are discussed primarily with respect to the comparable period in the prior year. The “12M 2024” refers to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024 and the “comparable period” or “12M 2023” refers to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023.
| 18 |
| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Revenue
Revenue for 12M 2024 was $11,047,763 compared to revenue of $12,310,594 in the comparable period. The change in revenue was primarily driven by:
|
| · | Wonmunna iron ore royalty: an increase of ~$1M in royalty revenue in 12M 2024, which was primarily a result of (i) an increased amount of ~1.6Mdmt of iron ore shipped in 12M 2024, and (ii) a ~12% decline in iron ore sales price in 12M 2024 compared to 12M 2023. |
|
| · | Janet Ivy gold royalty: an increase of ~$450K in royalty revenue in 12M 2024 compared to 12M 2023, driven by the continued ramp up of production at the project, after completion of the Binduli North heap leach expansion project in 2023. |
|
| · | Segilola gold royalty: reached its $3.5 million revenue cap in Q2 2023, resulting in ~$900K of royalty revenue in 12M 2023 vs. $nil in 12M 2024. |
|
| · | Koolyanobbing iron ore royalty: a decrease of ~$600K in royalty revenue in 12M 2024 compared to 12M 2023. In June 2024, Mineral Resources announced a decision to ramp down and temporarily cease operations of its Yilgarn Hub (which includes Koolyanobbing) by the end of 2024 based on the results of a comprehensive evaluation of its operations, citing significant capital expenditure requirements and long lead times to develop new resources. The operator will continue to consider options for the assets, and indicated that exploration drilling will continue into 2025. |
|
| · | Puzzle Group gold deposits royalty: inaugural revenue of ~$1.3M was recognized in Q3 2023, which was triggered by maiden mineral reserves declared for the Puzzle Group gold deposits. No additional revenue from the Puzzle Group gold deposits royalty was received during 12M 2024. |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for 12M 2024 were $6,820,676, down from $8,249,712 in the comparable period. The decrease in expenditures was primarily related to the following:
|
| · | Reduction in professional fees expenditures during the period of $297,687. |
|
|
| · | Reduction in corporate administration expenditures of $101,990. |
|
|
| · | Decrease in project evaluation expenditures of $118,166. |
|
|
| · | Increase in salaries and benefits and director fees of $92,621. |
|
|
| · | Increase in share-based compensation expense of $477,159. |
|
|
| · | The comparable period also included: |
|
|
|
| o | TSX up-listing fee expenditures of $143,767. |
|
|
| o | An impairment charge of $1,500,000 on the Alce, Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration royalties in Peru, reducing the carrying value of the assets to $nil, which was a result of the operator of the projects not renewing all or substantially all of the relevant mining claims and therefore, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. The Company has filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, as discussed below, against the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects in Peru. |
|
|
| o | An impairment reversal on the British King gold royalty of $250,000. In connection with the legal settlement of a dispute among the prior operator, new operator and SilverStream SEZC: (i) the historical 1.5% NSR on the first 10,000oz produced and 5.25% gold stream thereafter originally granted to SilverStream by the prior operator was extinguished; and (ii) a new 1.25% NSR gold royalty interest was assigned to Vox Royalty Australia Pty Ltd. by the prior operator in connection with the transfer of the project from the prior operator to the new operator. |
Other Income and Expenses
Other expenses for 12M 2024 was $118,118 vs. income of $683,998 in the comparable period. The decrease in income was primarily related to the following:
|
| · | Increase in interest income earned in 12M 2024 of $83,898 compared to 12M 2023. |
|
| · | Increase in foreign exchange expense of $125,494 during 12M 2024. |
|
| · | Facility expenditure of $315,304 in 12M 2024 vs. $nil in the comparable period. The expense during the period comprised (i) interest expense of $89,296, and (ii) amortization expense for the fees to set up the Facility of $226,008. |
|
| · | Income related to the fair value change in warrants of $445,216 during 12M 2023 vs. no income charge in the current year. The income recorded during the comparable period was primarily a result of the decrease in the Company’s share price at the end of 12M 2023 compared to the beginning of calendar 2023 vs. all issued and outstanding warrants expiring on March 25, 2024 with a carrying value of $nil. |
| 19 |
| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Income Tax Expense
In 12M 2024, the Company recorded:
|
| · | Current income tax expense of $2,077,652 vs. $626,500 in the comparable period. |
|
| · | Deferred income tax expense of $547,461 vs. $1,887,558 in 12M 2023. |
The shift in expense recognized as current tax vs. deferred tax in 12M 2024 is a result of a reduction in taxable temporary timing differences during the current period.
Net Loss
The net loss for 12M 2024 was $1,649,082 vs. $101,112 in the comparable period. On a per share basis, the basic and diluted loss per share was $0.03 per share for the current period vs. $0.00 per share in the comparable period. The net loss in 12M 2024 vs. 12M 2023 is from the results of operations discussed above.

| · | Wonmunna iron ore royalty: a decrease of ~$200K in royalty revenue in Q4 2024, which was primarily a result of (i) an increased amount of ~300Kdmt of iron ore shipped in Q4 2024, and offset with (ii) a ~22% decline in iron ore sales price in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023. |
|
| · | Janet Ivy gold royalty: an increase of ~$100K in royalty revenue in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023, driven by the continued ramp up of production at the project, after completion of the Binduli North heap leach expansion project in 2023. |
|
| · | Inaugural royalty revenue in Q4 2024 of ~$200K from the Otto Bore, Myhree and Castle Hill gold royalties. |
|
| · | Koolyanobbing iron ore royalty: a decrease of ~$200K in royalty revenue in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023. In June 2024, Mineral Resources announced a decision to ramp down and temporarily cease operations of its Yilgarn Hub (which includes Koolyanobbing) by the end of 2024 based on the results of a comprehensive evaluation of its operations, citing significant capital expenditure requirements and long lead times to develop new resources. The operator will continue to consider options for the assets, and indicated that exploration drilling will continue into 2025. |

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the quarter were $1,507,706, down from $2,667,645 in the comparable quarter. The decrease in expenditures was primarily related to the following:
|
| · | Reduction in professional fees expenditures during the period of $92,181. |
|
| · | Reduction in corporate administration expenditures of $55,868. |
|
| · | Decrease in project evaluation expenditures of $96,102. |
|
| · | Decrease in share-based compensation expense of $66,336. |
|
| · | Increase in salaries and benefits and director fees of $234,194. |
|
| · | The comparable period also included an impairment charge of $1,500,000 on the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration royalties in Peru, reducing the carrying value of the assets to $nil, which was a result of the operator of the projects not renewing all or substantially all of the relevant mining claims and therefore, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. The Company has filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, as discussed below, against the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects in Peru. |
Other Income and Expenses
Other expenses for the quarter was $85,211 vs. income of $366,184 in the comparable quarter. The decrease in income was primarily related to the following:
|
| · | Increase in foreign exchange expense during the quarter of $264,969 over the comparable quarter. |
|
| · | Facility expenditure of $81,208 in Q4 2024 vs. $nil in the comparable period. The expense during the period comprised (i) interest expense of $21,562, and (ii) amortization expense for the fees to set up the Facility of $59,646. |
|
| · | Income related to the fair value change in warrants of $98,373 during Q4 2023 vs. no income recognized in the current year. The income recorded during the comparable quarter was primarily a result of a flat share price in Q4 2023 and a shorter time to expiry of all issued and outstanding warrants, which expired on March 25, 2024. |
Income Tax Expense
During the quarter, the Company recorded:
|
| · | Current income tax expense of $450,509 vs. $7,470 in the comparable quarter. |
|
| · | Deferred income tax expense of $429,265 vs. $181,528 in Q4 2023. |
Net Loss
The net loss for Q4 2024 was $966,494 vs. $417,962 in the comparable quarter. On a per share basis, the basic and diluted loss per share was $0.02 per share for the current quarter vs. $0.01 per share in the comparable quarter. The net loss during the periods is from the results of operations discussed above.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Other Quarters Presented
Revenue
In December 2021, gold royalty revenue commenced from the Segilola gold royalty asset, and in May 2022, iron ore royalty revenue commenced from the Wonmunna iron ore royalty asset. On a relative basis, the Wonmunna royalty has performed consistently since it was acquired in May 2022. In Q1 2023, the Binduli North heap leach expansion project, which covers our Janet Ivy royalty, was completed. Since then, quarter-over-quarter revenue at Janet Ivy has continued to grow, driven by the continued ramp up of production at the mine. In Q2 2023, the Company’s Segilola royalty reached its $3.5 million revenue cap. In Q3 2023, Vox recognized inaugural revenue from the Puzzle Group gold deposits royalty, triggered by a maiden mineral reserves discovery payment linked to the Puzzle Group gold deposits. In June 2024, Mineral Resources announced a decision to ramp down and temporarily cease operations of its Yilgarn Hub (which includes Koolyanobbing) by the end of 2024 based on the results of a comprehensive evaluation of its operations, citing significant capital expenditure requirements and long lead times to develop new resources. Lastly, in Q4 2024, inaugural royalty revenue commenced from the Otto Bore, Myhree and Castle Hill gold projects.
Operating Expenses
In 2023, key drivers behind the increase in operating expenses was:
|
| · | Professional fees: the Company listing on the Nasdaq in October 2022, resulting in additional legal, regulatory and compliance-related expenses during the first full year of being listed on both the Nasdaq and TSX. |
|
| · | TSX listing: graduated to the TSX in May 2023, incurring one-time fees of $143,767. |
|
| · | Impairment charges: impairments of $1,500,000 in aggregate related to the Alce, Phoebe, Jaw, Cart and Colossus royalties, offset with an impairment reversal on the British King gold royalty during the period of $250,000. |
A reduction in cash operating expenditures in 2024 is a result of management’s best efforts to decrease its corporate administration and professional fee expenses.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Cash flows earned from operations in 12M 2024 were $5,459,150 vs. $5,271,090 in 12M 2023. The increase in cash flows from operations during the period is primarily a result of:
|
| · | A decrease in income from operating activities prior to non-cash working capital changes of $2,277,437, which is primarily related to the results of operations discussed above. |
|
| · | A decrease in accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 compared to the beginning of the year of $589,891 vs. an increase in accounts receivable in the comparative period of $1,507,509. |

| · | A decrease in income from operating activities prior to non-cash working capital changes of $762,935, which is primarily related to the results of operations discussed above. |
|
| · | An increase in accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024 of $92,204 vs. a decrease in accounts receivable in the comparative period of $507,371. |
|
| · | A decrease in current liabilities related to operating activities during Q4 2024 of $884,555 vs. a decrease of $53,888 in Q4 2023. The significant decrease in current liabilities in Q4 2024 is primarily related to the final payment of corporate income taxes owing to the Australian Taxation Office for the taxation year ended June 30, 2024. |

| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
The Company’s management believes current financial resources will be adequate to cover anticipated expenditures for general and administration and project evaluation costs and anticipated minimal capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Vox’s long-term capital requirements are primarily affected by ongoing activities related to the acquisition or creation of royalties. The Company currently, and generally at any time, has acquisition opportunities in various stages of active review. In the event of the acquisition of one or more significant royalties, Vox may seek additional debt, including use of the Facility or the accordion feature connected thereto, as detailed in the “Highlights and Key Accomplishments” section of this MD&A, or equity financing, as necessary.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not utilize off-balance sheet arrangements.
Commitments and Contingencies
As at December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any right-of-use assets or lease liabilities.
Litigation matters
The Company is, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business. Other than as noted below, the Company believes that none of the litigation in which it is currently involved or have been involved with during the period ended December 31, 2024, individually or in the aggregate, is material to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Titan
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SilverStream SEZC (“SilverStream”), became aware that the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects did not renew all or substantially all of the relevant mining concessions and therefore the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. As a result, the Company fully impaired the four royalties as of December 31, 2023, and the carrying value of the investment of $1,000,000 was reduced to $nil. The Company has filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, as discussed below, against the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects. Pursuant to the original agreement signed with the operator on July 15, 2021, if any of the four exploration projects became relinquished within three years of signing the original agreement, the operator must promptly provide Vox with a replacement royalty for each relinquished royalty and with each replacement royalty having a value of at least $250,000. To the extent Vox is granted one or more replacement royalties, the Company expects to reverse up to $1,000,000 of the 2023 impairment charge, which would increase net income by the equivalent amount. As of the date of this MD&A, no replacement royalties have been granted.
SilverStream filed a writ and statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Titan Minerals Limited (“Titan”) on February 23, 2024, along with an amended writ and statement of claim on March 28, 2024, in respect of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects. SilverStream is seeking to enforce its rights to be issued replacement royalties and/or damages in respect of Titan’s failure to maintain certain mining concessions in Peru in accordance with various royalty deeds entered into between Titan and SilverStream in 2021. As of the date of this MD&A, the proceeding is ongoing.
Aurenne
Vox Australia filed a writ and statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Aurenne MIT Pty Ltd (“Aurenne”) on November 8, 2024, in respect of the Mt Ida royalty asset. Vox Australia is seeking a court declaration regarding the unreasonable withholding of consent by Aurenne to certain transaction and assignment documentation. As of the date of this MD&A, the proceeding is ongoing.

Changes in Accounting Policies
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that were required to be adopted effective January 1, 2024. These standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s current or future reporting periods.
| 24 |
| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Amendments – IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Non-current Liabilities with Covenants)
Amendments made to IAS 1 in 2020 and 2022 clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is affected by the entity’s expectations or events after the reporting date (e.g. the receipt of a waiver or a breach of covenant). Covenants of loan arrangements will not affect classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date if the entity must only comply with the covenants after the reporting date. However, if the entity must comply with a covenant either before or at the reporting date, this will affect the classification as current or non-current even if the covenant is only tested for compliance after the reporting date.
The amendments require disclosures if an entity classifies a liability as non-current and that liability is subject to covenants that the entity must comply with within 12 months of the reporting date. The disclosures include:
|
| · | the carrying amount of the liability; |
|
| · | information about the covenants; and |
|
| · | facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate that the entity may have difficulty complying with the covenants. |
The amendments also clarify what IAS 1 means when it refers to the “settlement” of a liability. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instrument can only be ignored for the purpose of classifying the liability as current or non-current if the entity classifies the option as an equity instrument. However, conversion options that are classified as a liability must be considered when determining the current/non-current classification of a convertible note.
The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with the normal requirements in IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. These amendments did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The amendments have an effective date of later than December 31, 2024, with earlier application permitted.
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, IFRS 18 was issued to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities. The standard, which replaces IAS 1, impacts the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of earnings where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements, and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.

Critical Accounting Judgements and Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. However, actual results may differ from those estimates included in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s material accounting policy information and estimates are disclosed in Notes 2 and 3 of the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no material changes to the risks, objectives, policies and procedures during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
| 25 |
| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and royalty receivables in the ordinary course of business. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions and closely monitors its royalty receivable balances. The Company’s royalty receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Vox’s royalty portfolio.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account the amount available under the Company’s revolving credit facility, anticipated cash flows from operations and holding of cash and cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,754,391 (December 31, 2023 - $9,342,880) and working capital of $9,234,339 (December 31, 2023 - $10,378,752).
Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net loss due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and income taxes payable denominated in Canadian and Australian dollars. Based on the Company’s Canadian and Australian denominated monetary assets and liabilities at December 31, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net loss by $440,000.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to the Facility being subject to floating interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates. During the period ended December 31, 2024, a 1% increase (decrease) in nominal interest rates would have increased (decreased) net loss and other comprehensive loss by approximately $150,000.
The Company has cash balances with rates that fluctuate with the prevailing market rate. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in cash accounts or short-term interest-bearing securities issued by chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company does not use any derivative instrument to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
Commodity and share price risk
The Company’s royalties are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of precious and base metals are the primary drivers of the Company’s profitability and ability to generate free cash flow. None of the Company’s future revenue is hedged in order to provide shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.
The Company’s financial results may be significantly affected by a decline in the price of precious, base and/or ferrous metals. The price of precious, base and ferrous metals can fluctuate widely, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and income tax liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments.
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
|
| · | Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
| · | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and |
|
| · | Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value after initial recognition.
| 26 |
| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
Level 3 Hierarchy
The following table presents the changes in fair value measurements of financial instruments classified as Level 3 as at December 31, 2024. These financial instruments were measured at fair value utilizing non-observable market inputs. The gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. On March 25, 2024, the warrants, which were classified as Level 3, expired unexercised, resulting in nil warrants remaining issued and outstanding by the Company.

Capital management

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (“DCP”) including adherence to the Disclosure Policy adopted by the Company. The Disclosure Policy requires all staff to keep senior management fully apprised of all material information affecting the Company so that they may evaluate and discuss this information and determine the appropriateness and timing for public disclosure.
The Company maintains DCP designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under applicable Canadian securities laws and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by applicable Canadian securities laws and Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s DCP as of December 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s DCP were effective as of December 31, 2024.
In designing and evaluating DCP, the Company recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and management is required to exercise its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the DCP during the year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the DCP. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings in Canada (“NI 52-109”) and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the United States. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes:
|
| · | maintaining records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
|
| · | providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB; |
|
| · | providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and |
|
| · | providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. |

| Vox Royalty Corp. Management Discussion & Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2024 |
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and no material weaknesses were identified.
There were no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures.
Limitations of Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements contained in this MD&A may be deemed “forward looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. All statements in this MD&A, other than statements of historical fact, that address future events, developments or performance that Vox expects to occur including management’s expectations regarding Vox’s growth, results of operations, estimated future revenue, carrying value of assets, requirements for additional capital, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue estimates, future demand for and prices of commodities, business prospects and opportunities and outlook on commodities and currency markets are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential”, “scheduled” and similar expressions or variations (including negative variations), or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur including, without limitation, the performance of the assets of Vox, the realization of the anticipated benefits deriving from Vox’s investments and transactions, the expected developments at the assets underlying Vox’s royalties and Vox’s ability to seize future opportunities. Although Vox believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of Vox, and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may accordingly differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the impact of general business and economic conditions; the absence of control over mining operations from which Vox will purchase precious metals or from which it will receive royalty payments, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, delays in mine construction and operations, actual results of mining and current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans are refined; problems related to the ability to market precious metals or other metals; industry conditions, including commodity price fluctuations, interest and exchange rate fluctuations; interpretation by government entities of tax laws or the implementation of new tax laws; the volatility of the stock market; competition; risks related to the Company’s dividend policy; epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, including the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, geopolitical events and other uncertainties, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East region, and as well as those risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Vox’s AIF for the year ended December 31, 2023, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Vox holds a royalty by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Vox holds a royalty; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Vox cautions that the foregoing list of risk and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Investors and others should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Vox believes that the assumptions reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this MD&A should not be unduly relied upon. This MD&A contains future-orientated information and financial outlook information (collectively, “FOFI”) about the Company’s revenue from royalties which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications set forth in the above paragraphs. FOFI contained in this MD&A was made as of the date of this MD&A and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about the Company’s anticipated business operations. Vox disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this MD&A, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law. FOFI contained in this MD&A should not be used for the purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein.

This MD&A includes market information, industry data and forecasts obtained from independent industry publications, market research and analyst reports, surveys and other publicly available sources. Although the Company believes these sources to be generally reliable, market and industry data is subject to interpretation and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey.

Quarterly Dividend
The Company is also pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has raised its quarterly dividend and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0125 per common share, to be paid on April 14, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business in Toronto on March 31, 2025. This marks the third consecutive annual increase for Vox shareholders.
For shareholders residing in Canada, the dividend will be paid in Canadian dollars based on the daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on March 31, 2025. The dividend qualifies as an “eligible dividend” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The dividend is subject to customary Canadian withholding tax for shareholders that are not resident in Canada.
Outlook
The operational performance of the Vox portfolio during the year was generally in line with management expectations. On March 7, 2024, Vox estimated that 2024 royalty revenue guidance would be in the range of $11 million to $13 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Vox’s royalty revenue totalled $11,047,763.
For 2025, Vox estimates royalty revenue to total $12 million to $14 million. Management’s 2025 outlook on royalty revenue is based on publicly available information of the owners or operators of projects on which the Company has a royalty interest and which management believes to be reliable. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, management seeks to obtain internal forecasts from the owners or operators, if available, or generates internal best estimates based on the information available.
Key growth assets for the Company for 2025 include, based primarily on public disclosure of third-party operators:
|
| · | The Binduli North gold heap leach project in Western Australia, which officially opened in Q3 2022 and continues to be optimised by Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. and where Vox holds an A$0.50/t royalty over material from the Janet Ivy mining lease. |
|
| · | The Bulong 1.0% NSR gold royalty in Western Australia, with operator Black Cat commencing production in Q3 2024 at the Myhree open pit. |
|
| · | The Castle Hill A$40/oz gold royalty in Western Australia, with operator Evolution commencing small-scale production in Q3 2024 at the Rayjax open pit prior to commencement of larger-scale mining at the Castle Hill open pit deposit in 2026. |
|
| · | The Otto Bore 2.5% NSR gold royalty (on cumulative 42Koz-100Koz production) in Western Australia, where Northern Star Resources Limited reached the 42Koz hurdle in Q4 2024, with inaugural royalty revenue recognized during the quarter and ore stockpile processing ongoing. |

Cautionary Statements to U.S. Securityholders
The financial information included or incorporated by reference in this press release or the documents referenced herein has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differs from US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) in certain material respects, and thus are not directly comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” “plans”, “estimates” or “intends” or stating that certain actions, events or results “ may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to materially differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements and information in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the payment of a quarterly dividend in April 2025 and on any future date thereafter, development expectations at key growth assets during 2025, expectations to realize revenue from producing and development stage royalty assets in the near-term, and revenue expectations for fiscal year 2025. Achievement of the 2025 royalty revenue guidance stated in this press release is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in commodity prices and the ability of operators to attain the results set out in their forecasts. Accordingly, Vox cannot provide assurance that the actual royalty revenue for 2025 will be in the range set forth above. In addition, management may or may not revise its guidance during the year to reflect more current information. If Vox is unable to achieve anticipated guidance, or if management revises its guidance, the Company’s future results of operations may be adversely affected, and the Company’s share price may decline.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to materially differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions; the absence of control over mining operations from which Vox will purchase precious metals or from which it will receive royalty payments, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, delays in mine construction and operations, actual results of mining and current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans are refined; problems related to the ability to market precious metals or other metals; industry conditions, including commodity price fluctuations, interest and exchange rate fluctuations; interpretation by government entities of tax laws or the implementation of new tax laws; the volatility of the stock market; competition; risks related to Vox’s dividend policy; epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, geopolitical events and other uncertainties, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Vox’s annual information form for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 available at www.sedarplus.ca and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov (as part of Vox’s Form 40-F).
Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information or statement prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Vox cautions that the foregoing list of material factors is not exhaustive. When relying on Vox’s forward-looking statements and information to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events.
| 3 |
Vox has assumed that the material factors referred to in the previous paragraph will not cause such forward-looking statements and information to differ materially from actual results or events. However, the list of these factors is not exhaustive and is subject to change, and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will reflect the actual outcome of such items or factors. The forward-looking information contained in this press release represents the expectations of Vox as of the date of this press release and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date. Readers should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon this information as of any other date. While Vox may elect to, it does not undertake to update this information at any particular time except as required in accordance with applicable laws.
None of the TSX, its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX) or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
Technical and Third-Party Information
Except where otherwise stated, the disclosure in this press release is based on information publicly disclosed by project operators based on the information/data available in the public domain as at the date hereof and none of this information has been independently verified by Vox. Specifically, as a royalty investor, Vox has limited, if any, access to the royalty operations. Although Vox does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such information from the project operators is complete or accurate. Some information publicly reported by the project operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by Vox’s royalty interests. Vox’s royalty interests often cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, mineral resources and production of a property.
