VOX PROVIDES AN UPDATE FOR THE WONMUNNA MINE
AND FILES A TECHNICAL REPORT ON SEDAR
TORONTO, CANADA – August 10, 2022 – Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX ) (OTCQX: VOXCF ) (“Vox” or the
“Company”), a returns focused precious metals royalty company, is pleased to announce an update on the producing Wonmunna
Iron Ore Mine (“Wonmunna”) in Western Australia, controlled by ASX-listed Mineral Resources Limited (“MinRes”). Vox holds
an uncapped 1.25% - 1.50% gross revenue royalty over Wonmunna, which forms a key part of MinRes’ 11Mtpa Utah Point Hub
operations in the Pilbara region.
Further to the Wonmunna royalty acquisition announcement by Vox on May 26, 2022 , Vox has now filed a technical report on
SEDAR titled: “Technical Report, Wonmunna Iron Ore Mine, Western Australia, Australia” dated August 10, 2022. The technical
report was commissioned by Vox and prepared by Kangari Consulting LLC.
Mining Proposal for Expansion to 13.5Mtpa
In February 2022, MinRes submitted an amended Mining Proposal to the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority
seeking approval to expand the annual production rate at Wonmunna from 10Mtpa to 13.5Mtpa, representing a significant increase
from the current ~5Mtpa production rate (the “Feb 2022 Mining Proposal”). 1 Vox is pleased to announce that the Feb 2022
Mining Proposal was approved by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) on June 29, 2022.
Riaan Esterhuizen, Executive Vice-President – Australia stated, “The ability for Wonmunna production to be expanded without
significant additional capital intensity was a key attribute which attracted us to this royalty, as demonstrated by the recently
approved Feb 2022 Mining Proposal. MinRes’ uniquely integrated miner/contractor business model puts it in a strong position to
deliver the increased production tonnage set out in its latest proposal, and we are excited about the potential royalty returns for
the Company over the coming years.”
Asset Overview – Wonmunna Iron Ore Mine
Wonmunna is located approximately 70km west-northwest of Newman in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The mine is
located within the Hamersley Ranges which has a long mining history. The mine is located within 25 kilometres of operating mines;
Hope Downs (Rio Tinto/Hancock JV), Area C (BHP) and West Angelas (Rio Tinto). The northern boundary of royalty-linked
tenement M47/1425 abuts the Great Northern Highway.
Current mining at Wonmunna involves the extraction of iron ore from three Marra Mamba Iron Formation-hosted deposits across
multiple shallow open pits ranging from 20m to 50m in depth. The mine plan and throughputs are based on an average grade of
57.5% iron and production of 3Mtpa of ore, which Vox management believes was achieved in 2021. Based on MinRes’ March
2021 Mining Proposal2, Vox management expects that production throughput will further increase to +5Mtpa in 2022.
Leveraging MinRes’ integrated miner/contractor model, the mine was developed ahead of schedule and under budget over a 5-
month development period at a total capital and project acquisition cost of A$126 million. Drilling and blasting is used in the
mining of the ore and overburden, with conventional mining excavators and mine trucks hauling the ore from the pits to the crushing
and screening plant.
Onsite processing is limited to dry crushing and blending according to market requirements. The mine has been developed for t he
export iron ore market, although some mine gate sales may be considered in the future. Export product is hauled via road trains on
the Great Northern Highway to the MinRes operated Utah Point bulk port facility at Port Hedland. There are no pastoral leases
over the mining tenements.

The proposed initial mine life included in the March 2021 Mining Proposal 2 was “30Mt over 4 years to 2025” with a “potential
increase in total inventory of 50 – 60Mt up to 2028”, which underpinned Vox management’s expectations of a mine life to 2028
and potentially beyond. MinRes reported in April 2021 that they were carrying ou t ~12,000m of resource definition drilling at
Wonmunna3, supporting resource to reserve conversion and submission of the Feb 2022 Mining Proposal.
