Red Hill GOLD Project Exploration and Development Update from Northern STAR
RED HILL GOLD PROJECT EXPLORATION AND
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE FROM NORTHERN STAR
TORONTO, CANADA – November 22 , 2023 – Vox Royalty Corp . (TSX: VOXR) (NASDAQ: VOXR) (“Vox” or the
“Company”), a returns focused mining royalty company, is pleased to share an exploration and development update for the Red
Hill gold project in Western Australia (“Red Hill”) from its royalty operating partner Northern Star Resources Limited (“Northern
Star”) on November 21 , 2023 . Vox holds a 4% gross revenue royalty over mining lease M27/57 at Red Hill , which Vox
management estimates covers the majority of the Inferred resource(1).
The Red Hill gold deposit is located 3km east of Northern Star’s Kanowna Belle mine and processing plant and 22km north-east
of Northern Star’s Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines Operations (“ KCGM”) and Fimiston processing plant in Western
Australia. KCGM is currently the subject of a major expansion project by Northern Star, the A$1.5 billion KCGM Mill Expansion
Project. The Red Hill project was historically mined as an open pit operation between 2001 and 2007 , producing approximately
467,000oz of gold.
Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: “We are excited about the positive developments at Red Hill, with Northern Star now
classifying the project as at Feasibility stage and as one of the key deposits which could provide open pit ore feed to the Fimiston
processing plant as part of its major A$1.5B capacity expansion. The ongoing exploration drilling as well as planned geotechnical
and metallurgical work announced by Northern Star solidifies Red Hill's potential for fast-tracked development with further
potential for exploration success.”

Exploration & Development Update(1)(2)(3)(4)
On November 21, 2023, Northern Star announced:
• Drilling at Red Hill continues to improve resource confidence within the open pit resource.
• Recent drilling has focused on testing the extent of mineralisation to the north -east and south -west while improving
confidence limits of the current resource.
• The current Inferred Mineral Resource(1) at Red Hill of 32.4Mt @ 1.1g/t for 1.2Moz remains open in several directions.
Significant underground drill results reported (Figure 1), including:
o RHDD23064 – 107.5m @ 1.4g/t Au
o RHDD23065 – 136.4m @ 0.8g/t Au
o RHDD23066 – 175.3m @ 1.3g/t Au
o RHDD23061 – 68.0m @ 1.2g/t Au
o RHRC23005 – 99.0m @ 0.6g/t Au
• Two diamond drill rigs are working at improving the understanding of grade and geological continuity as well as
supporting geotechnical investigations and metallurgical testing.
• Further drilling will continue to test the current resource area for bulk potential below Nemesis and Red Hill pits during
FY2024.
Northern Star in addition has now categorised Red Hill as being at Feasibility stage (Figure 2) and as one of the deposits that could
provide open pit material to the Fimiston Processing Plant, located 22km south-west of Red Hill. Fimiston has a current capacity
of 13Mtpa, and following approval of the A$1.5 billion KCGM Mill Expansion Project (announced on June 22, 2023), is expected
to expand to a steady-state capacity of 27Mtpa by FY29.

Janet Ivy Reaches Production Milestone
On November 13, 2023, Vox received royalty revenue receipts related to Q3 2023 revenue attributable to its Janet Ivy royalty. On
receipt of the Q3 2023 royalty revenue, royalty revenue collected to date now surpasses A$750,000, triggering the milestone
payment threshold set out in the royalty sale and purchase agreement with Horizon Minerals Limited (“Horizon”) dated March 27,
2021 (“RSPA”). In order to satisfy the milestone payment obligation of A$3,000,000 set out in the RSPA, Vox will issue 948,448
common shares to Horizon on or prior to November 24, 2023. Vox has received conditional approval to issue the Horizon Shares
from the TSX.
Vox management is pleased with the ramp -up in production that is occurring at the Janet Ivy gold mine by its operating partner
Norton Gold Fields Pty Ltd. (a subsidiary of Hong Kong and Shanghai -listed, Zijin Mining Group Co., Limited ) and expects
additional ramp -up in royalty revenue to continue for Q4 2023 and across FY2024. Vox holds an uncapped A$0.50/tonne
production gold royalty over Janet Ivy, which forms the core of Zijin’s Binduli North heap leach project.

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 “minera l
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”).
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 Exchange Act, which became effective February 25, 2019. The SEC Modernization Rules
more closely align the SEC’s disclosure requi rements 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 i nformation 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 a ny
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.
