Star Metro - Vox Royalty Announces Major Expansion Approval at Binduli North Gold Project

Spencer Cole, Chief Investment Officer stated: "The approval of an expanded Mining Proposal marks a major milestone for our producing Janet Ivy gold royalty at Binduli North. With a 40% increase in crushing and grinding capacity up to 7Mtpa, and a life-of-mine plan of up to 8Mtpa over approximately nine years with mineralization open along strike and at depth, this update significantly enhances royalty revenue potential on our uncapped production royalty. At this expanded 7Mtpa run-rate Vox management expects this royalty to potentially generate over US$2M in annual revenue¹, which equates to an annual 50% cash return¹ on its initial purchase price. The addition of (i) a mobile crushing circuit, (ii) expanded stockpiles, and (iii) processing flexibility between heap leach and the Paddington Mill further de-risk this long-life gold operation. We are encouraged by Norton's continued investment in and operational momentum at one of Vox's key producing Australian gold royalty assets."

Binduli North Expansion Highlights²:

• Vox holds an uncapped A$0.50/tonne production gold royalty interest over the Janet Ivy mining leases M26/446 and M26/833, which cover the majority of the Mining Proposal mine design tonnage results.

• The updated Mining Proposal (Version 7.2) ("Mining Proposal") was approved on July 16, 2025, by the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety ("DMIRS"). The Mining Proposal included the following key updates:

• 40% Throughput Increase Approved: Overall crushing and grinding circuit capacity has been expanded from 5Mtpa to 7Mtpa, enabled by the addition of a new mobile crushing and feeding circuit.

• Operation and Life of Mine: Tonnes treated per annum expected to be up to 8Mtpa for an approximate life of operation of nine years. Total design volume for the Binduli North Heap Leach Facility is 58.1Mt.

• Enhanced Processing Flexibility: Low-grade waste material is expected to be crushed and screened at the new mobile facility, with material either stacked on the heap leach facility or transported to the Paddington Mill for processing.

• Infrastructure Expansion: Approval to develop additional stockpiles, process ponds, and heap leach circuit upgrades to support increased volumes.

• Approvals Timeline: According to MINEDEX, the Mining Proposal was submitted to DMIRS on May 1, 2025, and approved approximately ten weeks later on July 16, 2025, highlighting the speed of approval potential for certain Western Australian brownfields expansions.

Background on Binduli Gold Project³:

The Binduli Gold Operation is centrally located approximately 10km west of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Western Australia, and is a large-tonnage heap leach and open‑pit mining hub comprising Binduli North (royalty-linked) and Binduli South (not royalty linked, undeveloped). The Binduli North tenements include the Fort William, Fort Scott, Karen Louise open pit gold deposits and the large royalty-linked Janet Ivy gold deposit.

The Janet Ivy gold mineralisation extends over a 1.3km strike extent, and to an average vertical depth of 130 - 150m from surface. Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.

Binduli North began ore processing in September 2022, marking the official commencement of production in mid‑2022. In 2024, the mine produced approximately 51,450 ounces of gold in its second full year of production.
