EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSX-V: EMX) is pleased to announce the sale of its Nordic operational platform to First Nordic Metals Corporation (TSX-V: FNM), a current partner of EMX and operator on multiple EMX royalty properties in Sweden and Finland. This strategic divestment will include EMX’s infrastructure, exploration equipment and employees in the Nordic countries. EMX views this transaction as highly synergistic, as it will reduce EMX’s operational and administrative expenses while providing additional operational capacity for FNM to advance its Gold Line interests in Sweden and its Oijärvi gold project in Finland, where EMX holds royalty interests. EMX will also be granted future royalty interests on projects organically generated by FNM for a period of five years.

Strategic Rationale and Long-Term Benefits

This transaction is part of a broader initiative to streamline EMX’s global operations and reduce administrative costs while maintaining upside royalty exposure in partner-funded generative exploration efforts. EMX has been conducting generative exploration in the Nordic Countries for over 15 years and has generated a broad portfolio of royalties in the region, which will be retained by EMX. In addition, EMX will be granted future royalty interests on projects organically generated by FNM for a period of five years. This transaction fits EMX strategic objectives and provides an operational boost to an existing partner and operator.

Commercial Terms

As consideration for the sale, EMX will receive staged payments totaling 3.25 million SEK (approximately US$335,000) over a period of two years. The payments will be made in equal proportions of cash and the equivalent value in shares of FNM.

Additionally, FNM will grant EMX a 1% net smelter return royalty on any newly generated projects in Sweden and Finland during the next five years.
