TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 6, 2024 / Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX:VOXR)(NASDAQ:VOXR)("Vox" or the "Company"), a returns focused mining royalty company,is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We're pleased to share another quarter of operating cashflow growth, compared to Q3 2023, and further general and administration expenditures reduction of ~14% for the year-to-date, resulting in an increased net cash position. The quarter saw first gold production at our Bulong-Myhree royalty in Western Australia, capitalising on all-time record gold prices. We are also pleased to share quarterly tonnage production records at each of the Janet Ivy gold mine and the Wonmunna iron ore mine. Development progress at Castle Hill and Plutonic East gold projects during the quarter continues to support management optimism related to organic growth within the Company's current portfolio."

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

• Cash flows generated from operations:

  • $2,112,168 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, up ~55% from $1,359,501 in Q3 2023.

  • $5,333,752 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, up ~82% from $2,929,309 in the first three fiscal quarters in 2023.

• General and administration expenditures decreased $540,528 year-to-date compared to the comparative period, representing a decrease of ~14%. The Company has successfully realized reductions to its cost profile and the management team has continued to drive further operational efficiencies.

• Q3 2024 revenue of $2,428,809 and year-to-date revenue of $8,150,438 (compared to revenue of $3,514,929 and $9,313,168 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively). The decline in revenue over the comparative periods was primarily a result of the positive trigger of a maiden mineral reserves discovery payment linked to the Puzzle Group gold deposits of ~$1.3M ("Puzzle Discovery Payment") that was recognized in Q3 2023.

• Gross profit of $1,887,501 and $6,408,628 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively (compared to $3,109,818 and $7,906,163 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively). The decline in gross profit for the quarter and year-to-date is largely a result of the Puzzle Discovery Payment.

• Strong balance sheet position at period end includes:

  • Cash and accounts receivable of $12,126,765.

  • Working capital of $8,517,006.

• Producing asset highlights during the quarter included:

  • Wonmunna irone ore mine - achieved record quarterly and year-to-date iron ore production tonnage rates.

  • Janet Ivy gold mine - achieved record quarterly and year-to-date gold production tonnage rates.

  • Otto Bore gold mine - Vox has a 2.5% NSR royalty applicable to production between 42,000oz and 100,000oz of gold recovered. Based on production realized by the operator through Q3 2024, Vox management expects that the hurdle applicable for this royalty will be met, and the royalty payable to Vox commencing in Q4 2024 or Q1 2025 will be paid.

  • Myhree gold mine - first gold doré production in September 2024, within six years of first discovery drilling in 2018.

• On March 7, 2024, increased quarterly cash dividend by 9.1% to $0.012 per common share.
