TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2021 / Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV:VOX)(OTCQX:VOXCF) ("Vox" or the "Company"), a high growth precious metals focused royalty company, is pleased to provide recent exploration updates from royalty operating partners Quantum Graphite Limited (QGL) ("Quantum"), Develop Global Limited (DVP) ("Develop"), Silver Mines Limited (SVL) ("Silver Mines") and ValOre Metals Corp. (VO) ("ValOre").

Spencer Cole, Chief Investment Officer stated, "This past month's exploration progress caps off a record year of partner-funded exploration on Vox's royalty projects with approximately 170,000 metres drilled across 18 separate projects. Based on operator guidance, Vox management expects resource upgrades will be forthcoming for South Railroad, Bowdens, Sulphur Springs, Pedra Branca, Pitombeiras and Kookynie projects over the next 6 months. 2022 is shaping up to be another tremendous year for organic royalty developments at Vox."

Key Exploration Updates

• Maiden mineral resource estimate for a new deposit at the Uley graphite project by Quantum;
• Strong infill and exploration drilling results at the Sulphur Springs copper-zinc project by Develop;
• High-grade drilling results at the Bowdens silver project by Silver Mines; and
• Resource expansion drilling success at the Pedra Branca platinum group metals ("PGM") project by ValOre.

Uley (Feasibility) - Maiden Resource Estimate for Uley 3 Deposit⁽¹⁾

• Vox holds a 1.5% gross revenue royalty on the Uley graphite project;
• On November 18, 2021, Quantum announced:
  • The maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Uley 3 deposit following completion of the recent drilling program;
  • The MRE confirms the continuation of graphitic mineralisation to the east of the Uley 2 deposit along strike to the north of drillholes previously targeting the Eastern Conductor / Uley 3 geophysical anomaly; and
  • The respective classification and resource tonnes for both Uley 3 and the Uley 2 deposits are set out below⁽¹⁾:

• Vox Management Summary: The ongoing drilling success and maiden mineral resource for the Uley 3 deposits continues to demonstrate the considerable geological prospects for the Uley graphite project. This resource update presents upside to the proposed 8-year potential mine life included in the 2019 Uley feasibility study.

Sulphur Springs (Pre-Construction) - Strong Drilling Results & Potential Exploration Decline

• Vox holds a A$2/tonne production royalty (A$3.7M royalty cap) on the Sulphur Springs copper-zinc deposit and an effective uncapped A$0.80/tonne production royalty on the Kangaroo Caves deposit, which is part of the combined Sulphur Springs project;
• On December 8, 2021, Develop announced:
  • It has recently completed a 20,000m, A$10M drilling program at Sulphur Springs;
  • It has received approximately 25% of the assays to date, which shows outstanding infill drilling results, which point to a significant increase in the Indicated Resource and identify a new zone of zinc-rich mineralisation in the hanging wall of the main deposits. Significant exploration intersections include:
    • 49.0m @ 2.6% Cu-Equivalent ("CuEq") (0.8% Cu, 0.2% Pb, 6.0% Zn, 16.1g/t Ag & 0.4g/t Au) from 232m (SSD132; West Lens Exp);
    • 8.0m @ 1.9% CuEq (0.3% Cu, 0.2% Pb, 5.3% Zn, 27.6g/t Ag & 0.1g/t Au) from 300m (SSD144; West Lens Exp) ;
    • 4.0m @ 2.3% CuEq (0.6% Cu,0.1% Pb, 5.8% Zn, 28.7g/t Ag & 0.1g/t Au) from 244m (SSD134; West Lens Exp);
    • 20.0m @ 7.5% Zn, 0.4% Cu, 0.6% Pb, 36.5g/t Ag & 0.2g/t Au (2.8% CuEq1) from 208m (SSD134; H/W Zinc) ;
    • 20.0m @ 7.2% Zn, 0.3% Cu, 0.4% Pb, 26.4g/t Ag & 0.2g/t Au (2.6% CuEq1) from 236m (SSD144; H/W Zinc) ;
    • 8.0m @ 5.5% Zn, 0.1% Cu, 0.5% Pb, 30.1g/t Ag & 0.3g/t Au (1.8% CuEq1) from 236m (SSD133; H/W Zinc) ;
  • The strength of the results has prompted Develop to start a review of the mine plan to consider the merits of establishing an underground operation ahead of the open pit;
  • As part of the strategy, Develop may establish a 1,500m exploration decline in 2022 to accelerate drilling from underground, at an expected cost of A$7.5M - A$8.5M funded from existing cash reserves; and
  • The outstanding drilling results from this campaign will help underpin a resource upgrade, which will be done in parallel with the strategic review of the mine plan, with the results of both expected to be released in the middle of 2022.
• Vox Management Summary: These strong drilling results at Sulphur Springs continue to support Vox's confidence in the development likelihood of this growing Australian copper-zinc project. We eagerly anticipate the release of the remaining 75% of the drilling assays over the coming months and expect a significant resource upgrade and a potential construction decision in mid-2022.

Bowdens (Feasibility) - High-Grade Drilling Results

• Vox holds a 0.85% gross revenue royalty on the Bowdens silver-lead-zinc project and a 1% gross revenue royalty over surrounding regional exploration tenure;
• On December 3, 2021, Silver Mines announced:
  • Drilling of the 30,000m resource program at the Bowdens silver project continues with wide and high-grade results returned from the Bundarra Zone;
    • BD21035: 14.2m @ 374g/t silver equivalent (36g/t silver, 4.86% zinc, 2.35% lead and 0.23g/t gold) from 238 metres,
      • Including: 4.6m @ 694g/t silver equivalent (72g/t silver, 8.76% zinc, 4.40% lead and 0.49g/t gold) from 245.4 metres;
  • New quartz-sulphide vein style of high-grade mineralisation intersected: 3m @ 437g/t silver equivalent (52g/t silver, 5.57% zinc, 0.50% lead and 1.14g/t gold) from 294.4 metres, including: 1.4 metres @ 749g/t silver equivalent (78g/t silver, 9.14% zinc, 0.87% lead and 2.36g/t gold) from 296 metres;
  • BD21036: 9m @ 296g/t silver equivalent (29g/t silver, 3.23% zinc, 1.86% lead and 0.55g/t gold) from 300.7m, including:
    • 1.5m @ 470g/t silver equivalent (48g/t silver, 5.55% zinc, 3.69% lead and 0.30g/t gold) from 301.5m;
    • 1m @ 615g/t silver equivalent (67g/t silver, 4.65% zinc, 3.32% lead and 2.58g/t gold) from 308m; and
  • Drilling will continue into 2022 with four rigs operational to deliver a maiden underground Mineral Resource estimate as part of the initial scoping study of underground mining scenarios.
• Vox Management Summary: These high-grade drilling results indicate that the 2022 underground scoping study, which supplements the feasibility-stage open pit project scope that is in final permitting phase, has strong potential to unlock meaningful incremental value for Vox's Bowdens royalty.

Pedra Branca (PEA stage) - Ongoing Resource Expansion Drilling Success

• Vox holds a 1.0% net smelter return royalty on the Pedra Branca PGM project, the largest PGM deposit in South America according to ValOre;
• On November 24, 2021, ValOre announced:
  • 20 holes drilled totaling 2,316m, with a primary focus of resource expansion;
  • All 20 completed holes intercepted the target ultramafic ("UM") intrusion, with assays received in full, and notable PGE intercepts returned in 16 of 20 core holes;
  • Newly received near surface PGE interval highlights include:
    • 127m @ 0.85g/t palladium + platinum + gold ("g/t 2PGE+Au") from 39m, incl. 27m @ 2.25 g/t 2PGE+Au from 55m in drillhole DD21SA42;
    • 53m @ 1.19g/t 2PGE+Au from 2.0m, incl. 20m @ 2.13 g/t 2PGE+Au from 29m in drillhole DD21SA34;
    • 22m @ 2.64g/t 2PGE+Au from 18m, incl. 6.0m @ 5.32 g/t 2PGE+Au from 29m in drillhole DD21SA37;
    • 20m @ 1.67g/t 2PGE+Au from 40m in drill hole DD21SA33;
  • Drill-confirmed PGE mineralization along the trend has increased in strike length from 215m to over 600m;
  • Continuity of geology and PGE grade has been established between Northwest Target ("NW") and resource area, with 8 positive NW drill holes spaced ~60-90m apart; and
  • Broad trends of near-surface PGE mineralization remain largely open.
• Vox Management Summary: These drilling results are some of the broadest mineralised intersections drilled at Pedra Branca over the last few years and pave the way for a resource update in 2022. Vox management remains highly confident that the Pedra Branca deposit will continue to grow in 2022.
