Vox Royalty Reports 2020 Financial Results and Strong Growth from 10 to 50 Royalties

 

 

 

 

 

Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX-V: VOX) is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

 

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: “The Company’s significant achievements in 2020 have paved the way for another strong year for Vox investors in 2021. Vox started 2020 with one producing royalty, adding three further producing royalties through acquisitions and is now expected to finish 2021 with over seven producing royalties. This growth in producing royalties is expected to increase our annual royalty revenues by approximately C$2 million from 2020 to 2021. Our 40 operating partners continue to actively progress our exploration and development royalties towards production, which will support Vox’s growth into 2022 and beyond.”

 

Full Year 2020 Highlights

 

  • Completed a brokered and non-brokered private placement in May 2020 for aggregate gross proceeds of C$13.75M;
  • Completed a reverse take-over transaction and on May 25, 2020, began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker “VOX”;
  • Recorded revenue of $126,227, with inaugural revenues from the Brauna royalty commencing in Q3 2020 and from the Higginsville (Dry Creek) royalty commencing in Q4 2020;
  • Maintained its industry-leading growth rate through the completion of 14 transactions to acquire a total of 30 royalties during the year;
  • Received independent research coverage initiated by Cantor Fitzgerald, Red Cloud Securities and Paradigm Capital Inc.;
  • Consolidated its low portfolio risk by increasing the number of its operating partners to over 40 during the period;
  • Completed the acquisition of a proprietary royalty database from Mineral Royalties Online Pty Ltd, which includes over 7,000 global royalties. The acquisition provides VOX with a first-mover advantage to execute non-brokered royalty transactions, and the majority of its 2019 and 2020 royalty transactions have been completed on this basis; and
  • Subsequent to December 31, 2020:
    • Completed an additional three transactions to acquire a further 10 royalties;
    • Completed an overnight marketed public offering for aggregate gross proceeds of C$16.85M;
    • Announced the appointment of Andrew Kaip to the Company’s Board of Directors; and
    • Held a meeting of Warrantholders of 2,289,667 common share purchase warrants that were originally set to expire on May 14, 2022. The Warrantholders unanimously voted in favour to amend the warrant to: (a) remove the compulsory call option held by the Company; and (b) in conjunction with the foregoing, extend the term of the warrants, such that the warrants now expire on May 14, 2023. Removing the compulsory call option unlocked C$2.3M of cash that was being held in reserve for the call option.

 

Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights

 

  • Recorded revenue of $115,975 with inaugural revenues from the Higginsville (Dry Creek) royalty commencing in Q4 2020;
  • Over 34,000 metres of partner-funded drilling completed on Vox royalty-linked claims and tenements;
  • On November 10, 2020, announced entry into a binding purchase and sale agreement to acquire a strategic North American royalty portfolio from Breakwater Resources Ltd and other affiliates of parent group Nyrstar N.V., which was completed in January 2021;
  • On November 25, 2020, announced the acquisition of the development stage Brits vanadium royalty operated by Bushveld Minerals Limited; and
  • On November 13, 2020, the TSXV approved a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB“) made by the Company. Under the terms of the NCIB, the Company may purchase for cancellation up to 1,628,289 ordinary shares, being 5% of the 32,565,796 ordinary shares outstanding as at November 5, 2020, the date the Company filed the NCIB application with the TSXV.
