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
