Star Metro - Vox Royalty Completes Acquisitions of White Dam, Kalman and Sylvania Australian Gold & Copper Royalties

All conditions precedent to the Transactions have been satisfied, including the waiver of the right of first refusal held by the operator, Greenmount Resources Pty Ltd ("Greenmount"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed, Capricorn Metals Ltd ("Capricorn"), in respect of the Sylvania Royalty. Further information on the Sylvania Royalty is provided below.

Spencer Cole, President and Chief Investment Officer of Vox, stated: "With these two transactions, we have constructed a highly attractive portfolio of Australian production and development royalties for only $6 million in cash. White Dam is producing gold today and provides ongoing revenue, Kalman offers medium-term development potential through Austral Resources' existing Rocklands plant, and the Sylvania Royalty provides potential longer-term optionality across approximately 1,700km² of exploration tenure adjacent to Capricorn's expanding Karlawinda Gold Mine, including the historical Prairie Downs and Spearhole resource estimates. This is representative of the 'balanced bar-bell' of revenue and NPV that we focus on at Vox."

Portfolio Overview

Sylvania Royalty Overview

The Sylvania Royalty comprises a 1.0% NSR royalty on precious minerals and a 1.5% NSR royalty on all other minerals, over approximately 1,700km² of exploration tenure in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (the "Sylvania Royalty Area"). Greenmount is the wholly owned subsidiary of Capricorn, which holds the Karlawinda Gold Mine ("Karlawinda"), located approximately 65kms south-east of Newman, which has been in production since June 2021⁽¹¹⁾. Karlawinda produced 123,589oz of gold in Capricorn's 2026 financial year, and Capricorn is currently commissioning the Karlawinda Expansion Project, which increases processing capacity to 6.5Mtpa and is expected to lift Karlawinda to a long-term production rate of approximately 150,000oz per annum following completion of commissioning in the first quarter of Capricorn's 2027 financial year⁽¹³⁾.

The Sylvania Royalty Area comprises three key exploration targets:

Spearhole Iron Project (historical October 2010 mineral resource estimate and 2011 scoping study)^(5)(6)(7),

Prairie Downs Base Metal Project (historical June 2010 mineral resource estimate); and

Karlawinda-adjacent gold exploration targets.

Spearhole Iron Project⁽⁷⁾

The Spearhole detrital iron deposit at Prairie Downs comprises unconsolidated ironstone gravels and alluvium from surface. On December 15, 2011, Dynasty Metals Limited ("Dynasty") announced the results of a high-level Scoping Study completed by MSP Engineering, based on a historical inferred resource of 1,400Mt at 23.5% Fe, including 932Mt at 27.4% Fe at a 20% Fe cut-off (October 2010 estimate), which Dynasty classified entirely in the inferred category with no indicated or measured component. The study contemplated a 35Mtpa beneficiation plant producing 5.25Mtpa of iron concentrate grading 57% to 58% Fe at a 15% mass yield, and reported:

Estimated operating costs of A$39.00 per tonne of concentrate at the mine gate (mining A$10.75/t and beneficiation A$28.25/t) and A$59.25 per tonne FOB, including assumed rail haulage of 450km (A$15.75/t) and port costs (A$4.50/t);

Estimated capital costs of A$446 million to the mine gate and A$957 million inclusive of transport infrastructure, a 50km rail spur and rolling stock; and

A potential mine life of at least 25 years at the contemplated production rate based on the October 2010 inferred resource (932Mt at 27.4% Fe), with an assumed stripping ratio of approximately 0.1:1.

The study excluded Dynasty's separately identified Marra Mamba direct shipping ore resource, and Dynasty noted that the mining, rail and port cost estimates were conceptual, high-level estimates benchmarked against other Pilbara operations.

In May 2022, DiscovEx Resources Limited ("DiscovEx") entered into two binding option agreements (Spearhole and Sylvania Term Sheets) with Rio Tinto for the sale of the iron ore rights at Sylvania for total consideration of up to A$9.3 million. After two years of evaluation, Rio Tinto withdrew from the Spearhole Option Agreement in May 2024.

Prairie Downs Base Metal Project⁽⁶⁾

The Prairie Downs zinc-lead-silver deposit is located approximately 100km south-west of Newman and has been explored by a few prior owners, most recently Prairie Downs Metals Limited ("Prairie Downs") (now GreenX Metals Limited), Marindi Metals Limited and DiscovEx. The most recent mineral resource estimate for the deposit, of which Vox is aware of, is a historical June 2010 resource statement (summarised below in Table 1), which reported at a 1% Zn cut-off grade and most recently reported by DiscovEx in October 2023, comprising Indicated Resources of 2.28Mt at 5.22% Zn, 1.59% Pb and 15.0 g/t Ag and Inferred Resources of 0.70Mt at 4.03% Zn, 1.58% Pb and 14.9 g/t Ag. This estimate supersedes an earlier 2008 estimate by Prairie Downs, which was also the basis of a historical July 2008 Feasibility Study that was not progressed. Mineralisation was reported as open at depth and along strike, and the deposit remains undeveloped. The estimates presented below are historical estimates; see Historical Estimates and Studies note below.

Sylvania - Gold Exploration

Capricorn has described the Sylvania Project as sitting in proximity to the Sylvania Inlier and the Pilbara-Yilgarn craton margin, a high strain zone with high prospectivity for mineralising fluids, and has interpreted this craton boundary as playing a significant role in the placement of ore-forming fluids at the Bibra gold deposit at Karlawinda. Capricorn has noted that gold exploration in the region has been limited, with only early-stage work conducted mostly during the mid-1990s and very few drill holes completed outside of the Prairie Downs base metals prospect, and has outlined a program of broad-scale geological and regolith mapping followed by geochemical sampling across currently defined target areas⁽⁵⁾.

Consideration

Aggregate cash consideration for the Transactions was A$8.4 million, comprising A$5.0 million for the White Dam Royalty and A$3.4 million for the Kalman and Sylvania Royalties, funded from cash on hand.

Cautionary Statements to U.S. Securityholders

This press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ from the previous and current standards of the U.S. securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources,", "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced herein and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). In addition to NI 43-101, a number of resource and reserve estimates have been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (as such term is defined in NI 43-101), which differ from the requirements of NI 43-101 and U.S. securities laws but is defined in NI 43-101 as an "acceptable foreign code". Readers are cautioned that a qualified person has not carried out independent work to validate the JORC Code resource and reserve estimates referenced herein.

For U.S. reporting purposes, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which became effective February 25, 2019. The SEC Modernization Rules more closely align the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Issuers were required to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained or incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies domiciled in the U.S. subject to U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards that are required under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of the mineralization in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves without further work and analysis. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable without further work and analysis. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to a higher category without further work and analysis. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules or under the prior standards of SEC Industry Guide 7.

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 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 and none of this information has been independently verified by Vox. As a royalty and offtake-stream investor, Vox has limited, if any, access to the underlying 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 operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by Vox's interests, which often cover less than 100% of the publicly reported mineral reserves, mineral resources and production from a property.

Historical Estimates and Studies

The mineral resource estimates for the Prairie Downs zinc-lead-silver deposit (June 2010 resource statement, most recently reported by DiscovEx Resources Limited as conforming to the JORC Code (2012 edition)) and the Spearhole Detrital Iron Deposit (October 2010, JORC Code (2004 edition)) referenced above are historical estimates prepared by or for previous project owners, using resource categories (indicated and inferred at Prairie Downs; inferred only at Spearhole) that are analogous to, but were not prepared under, the CIM Definition Standards. The Prairie Downs estimate supersedes an earlier estimate reported by Prairie Downs Metals Limited in 2008. Vox has not independently verified these estimates and, based on its review of public disclosure by current and prior owners of the Sylvania Project, is not aware of any more recent estimates for these deposits. The historical estimates are considered relevant as an indication of the historical exploration and study work completed within the Sylvania Royalty Area, but Vox has not assessed their reliability. Confirmation drilling, verification of the historical drilling and assay databases, and re-estimation under current standards would be required to upgrade or verify the historical estimates as current mineral resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Vox is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The 2008 Prairie Downs study and the 2011 Spearhole scoping study are historical, were prepared by third parties on the basis of estimates and cost and price assumptions prevailing at the time, have not been verified by Vox, and should not be relied upon. The 2011 scoping study was based on inferred mineral resources, which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the results of that study will be realized.
