VOX PROVIDES DEVELOPMENT UPDATES
FROM OPERATING PARTNERS
GEORGE TOWN, CAYMAN ISLANDS – March 11, 2021 – Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX) (“Vox” or the
“Company”), a high growth precious metals focused royalty company, notes recent announcements from royalty
operating partners Black Cat Syndicate Limited (ASX: BC8) (“ Black Cat”), Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI; NYSE:
AGI) (“Alamos”), Kalamazoo Resources Limited (ASX: KZR) (“ Kalamazoo”), Silver Mines Limited (ASX: SVL)
(“Silver Mines ”), Venturex Resources Limited (ASX: VXR) (“ Venturex”), Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN)
(“Tartisan”), Metalicity Limited (ASX: MCT) (“Metalicity”) and Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) (“Hecla”).
Summary of Development Updates
• Execution of an exclusive 30-day option to acquire a 1.5Mtpa milling facility and associated equipment at
the Bulong gold project by Black Cat,
• Resource and reserve update at the feasibility-stage Lynn Lake gold project by Alamos,
• Drilling update at the Ashburton gold project by Kalamazoo,
• Drilling update at the Bowdens silver project by Silver Mines,
• A recapitalisation, management change and Final Investment Decision guidance for the feasibility -stage
Sulphur Springs copper-zinc project by Venturex,
• Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) timing for the Kenbridge nickel-copper project by Tartisan,
• Drilling update at the Kookynie gold project by Metalicity, and
• Permitting timeline guidance for the Montanore silver-copper project by Hecla.
Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are excited to pass along further meaningful updates from the
operators of our royalty-linked assets. The Bulong mill acquisition option further supports Black Cat’s prior guidance
of commencement of mining at Bulong in Q4 2021. Of particular note is the drilling success over two of Vox’s key
growth assets in Australia, the Ashburton gold project and the Bowdens silver project. These growth assets continue
to demonstrate considerable resource expansion potential, as highlighted by Kalamazoo Resources’ management who
have publicly disclosed an internal exploration target for Ashburton of 2 – 3 million ounces of gold. In North America,
Hecla continues to invest in the Montanore project, the third largest silver-copper asset in the United States, and
Alamos continues to progress Lynn Lake towards a construction decision in 2022 . We expect the velocity of
developments and news flow from our 47 royalty assets will continue to increase, driving significant, organic growth
in the Vox royalty portfolio.”

beneath and along strike of the Waugh Pit, remaining open in multiple directions;
o The highly prospective siltstone unit hosing the Waugh Prospect outcrops for over 20 kilometres
within the Ashburton gold project tenements and has only been tested with minimal historical
drilling; and
