Vox Provides Development & Exploration Updates

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2022 / Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV:VOX)(OTCQX:VOXCF) ("Vox" or the "Company"), a high growth precious metals focused royalty company, is pleased to provide recent development and exploration updates from royalty operating partners Black Cat Syndicate Limited (ASX:BC8) ("Black Cat"), Gold Standard Ventures Corp.

Based on operator guidance, Bulong continues to trend towards commencement of mining in late-2022, South Railroad's feasibility is expected within the coming months, the Bowdens' underground expansion scoping study is on-track for H1 2022 delivery, and multiple resource upgrades are expected for Pedra Branca, Ashburton and other key properties later in 2022."

Key Development Updates

• Release of maiden reserves planned for the March 2022 quarter and key work approval permit granted for the construction of the processing facility at Majestic, part of the Bulong gold project operated by Black Cat;
• Positive drill results and upcoming feasibility study release for the South Railroad gold project in Nevada by Gold Standard Ventures;
• Continued drilling success and upcoming underground scoping study at the Bowdens project by Silver Mines;
• Resource expansion drilling success at the Pedra Branca platinum group elements ("PGE") project by ValOre; and
• Strong drilling results and extensive fieldwork, studies and permitting planned for 2022 at the Ashburton gold project by Kalamazoo.

Bulong (Pre-Construction) - Maiden Reserves and Work Approval Permit Granted

• Vox holds a 1% net smelter royalty over part of the Bulong gold project;
• On January 25, 2022, Black Cat announced:
  • Drilling at Majestic in H2 2021 was focussed on upgrading the underground resource from Inferred to Indicated categories ahead of planned maiden ore reserves to be released in the March 2022 quarter; and
  • It was recently granted the Work Approval Permit for the construction of the planned 800ktpa processing facility at Majestic. The only outstanding permit required for mine development and mill construction is the Tailings Storage Facility ("TSF") mining proposal, which is anticipated in Q1 2022.
• Vox Management Summary: The Bulong gold project in Western Australia continues to be derisked towards construction and production with this key permitting milestone. Following the release of maiden reserves and the final TSF permit, Vox management expects the Bulong project to progress into construction over the coming months.

South Railroad (Pre-Feasibility) - Positive Drilling Results and Q1 2022 Feasibility Study

• Vox holds a 0.633% net smelter royalty with advance minimum royalty payments over portions of the South Railroad gold project, which is located in the prolific Carlin Trend of Nevada;
• Vox has been receiving advance minimum royalty payments from Gold Standard Ventures since October 2021;
• On January 18, 2022, Gold Standard Ventures announced:
  • Positive drill results from eight reverse circulation drill holes at the Pinion SB Zone ("SB Zone") as part of its 2021 exploration and development program;
  • Jason Attew, President and CEO stated: "We are very encouraged by the 2021 drilling results at the SB Zone. We are intersecting mineralization closer to surface than previously estimated and the target remains open to the south and east. We look forward to continuing to explore this target in 2022 with the goal of adding to the existing Pinion mineral resource by year-end"; and
  • According to Gold Standard Ventures management guidance, the SB Zone represents the best mine life extension opportunity at the South Railroad project, with potential production from this zone being additive to the life of mine plan contemplated in the upcoming Feasibility Study that is planned to be completed in Q1 2022, as announced on November 10, 2021.
• Vox Management Summary: The impending release of the South Railroad feasibility study in Q1 2022 and an upgrade of royalty-linked resources at the SB Zone are key catalysts that have strong potential to increase the value of Vox's South Railroad gold royalty. This exciting Nevada-based gold project is rapidly approaching a near-term construction decision.

Bowdens (Feasibility) - Continued Drilling Success and H1 2022 Underground Scoping Study

• 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 January 18, 2022, Silver Mines announced:
  • The company currently has four drill rigs on site continuing a 30,000m diamond drilling program. The results from this drilling program will form the basis for a Mineral Resource estimate as part of a Scoping Study of underground mining scenarios;
  • The underground Scoping Study is now advanced and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022;
  • Continued success in drilling extends the Bundarra Zone mineralisation. Results include quartz sulphide vein style mineralisation at depth, with significant copper intersected for the first time at Bowdens;
  • BD21042:
    • 2.4m @ 1,520 g/t silver equivalent (269 g/t silver, 15.80% zinc, 10.33% lead, 0.78% copper and 0.42 g/t gold) from 297.3m,
      • including: 1m @ 2,282 g/t silver equivalent (398 g/t silver, 22.90% zinc, 16.80% lead, 1.06% copper and 0.82 g/t gold) from 298m;
    • 1.5m @ 869 g/t silver equivalent (98 g/t silver, 14.49% zinc, 0.20% lead, 0.30% copper and 0.14 g/t gold) from 327.1m;
  • BD21039:
    • 4.6m @ 338 g/t silver equivalent (24 g/t silver, 3.67% zinc, 1.47% lead and 0.98 g/t gold) from 406m;
    • 8.1m @ 193 g/t silver equivalent (18 g/t silver, 1.82% zinc, 1.45% lead and 0.41 g/t gold) from 416.9m;
  • BD21038:
    • 1m @ 740 g/t silver equivalent (343 g/t silver, 5.29% zinc and 3.74% lead) from 107m; and
    • 6m @ 244 g/t silver equivalent (26 g/t silver, 2.43% zinc, 2.50% lead and 0.12 g/t gold) from 374m,
      • including: 1m @ 478 g/t silver equivalent (59 g/t silver, 3.78% zinc, 6.0% lead and 0.38 g/t gold).
• Vox Management Summary: These high-grade drilling results continue to support the potential feasibility of the underground expansion case at Bowdens, which is already Australia's largest primary silver deposit. The proposed underground production case is incremental to the feasibility-stage open pit mine plan which is in the final stages of permitting.

Pedra Branca (Preliminary Economic Assessment) - Resource Expansion Drilling Success

• Vox holds a 1% net smelter return royalty on the Pedra Branca PGE project;
• On December 20, 2021, ValOre announced:

    • AC drilling discovered a >500m wide +10ppb Au anomaly within the major northwest striking fault corridor that hosts the Mt Olympus and Zeus deposits;
    • Kalamazoo considers the Petra Prospect to be a high priority target with the hallmarks of being a significant ‘Carlin Type' gold deposit discovery and will be followed up in 2022; and
  • At the St Helens Prospect, AC drilling intersected encouraging gold anomalism proximal to the West Olympus Deposit with best results including: 6m @ 2.2g/t Au from 93m including 1m @ 4.22g/t Au from 96m (KAAC0067); and 4m @ 1.46g/t Au from 76m (KAAC0070).
• Vox Management Summary: Kalamazoo management have previously disclosed an exploration target for Ashburton of 2Moz - 3Moz and this drilling success continues to support the likelihood of this target. The substantial 2022 work program spanning drilling, resource estimation, metallurgical studies and permitting confirms Vox management confidence that this large-scale gold project is rapidly advancing towards development.
