Vox Royalty Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1.Nature of operations
Vox Royalty Corp. (“Vox” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s registered office is 66 Wellington Street West, Suite 5300, TD Bank Tower Box 48, Toronto, ON, M5K 1E6, Canada. The Company’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), under the ticker symbol “VOXR”.
Vox is a mining royalty company focused on accretive acquisitions. Approximately 85% of the Company’s royalty assets by royalty count are located in Australia, Canada and the United States. Further, the Company is prioritizing acquiring royalties on producing or near-term producing assets to complement its high-quality portfolio of exploration and development stage royalties.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and apply the same material accounting policy information and application as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2024. For further information, see the Company’s annual financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved, and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 7, 2024.
(b) Basis of presentation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“$”), which is also the functional currency of the Company and its four wholly-owned subsidiaries.
(c) Principles of consolidation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: SilverStream SEZC (Cayman Islands), which in turn owns all of the shares of Vox Royalty Australia Pty Ltd. (Australia) and Vox Royalty Canada Ltd. (Ontario, Canada); and Vox Royalty USA Ltd. (Delaware, USA).
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.
(d) Changes in accounting policies
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that were required to be adopted effective January 1, 2024. These standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s current or future reporting periods.
Amendments – IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Non-current Liabilities with Covenants)
Amendments made to IAS 1 in 2020 and 2022 clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is affected by the entity’s expectations or events after the reporting date (e.g. the receipt of a waiver or a breach of covenant). Covenants of loan arrangements will not affect classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date if the entity must only comply with the covenants after the reporting date. However, if the entity must comply with a covenant either before or at the reporting date, this will affect the classification as current or non-current even if the covenant is only tested for compliance after the reporting date.
The amendments require disclosures if an entity classifies a liability as non-current and that liability is subject to covenants that the entity must comply with within 12 months of the reporting date. The disclosures include:
-
the carrying amount of the liability;
-
information about the covenants; and
-
facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate that the entity may have difficulty complying with the covenants.

Vox Royalty Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
The amendments also clarify what IAS 1 means when it refers to the “settlement” of a liability. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instrument can only be ignored for the purpose of classifying the liability as current or non-current if the entity classifies the option as an equity instrument. However, conversion options that are classified as a liability must be considered when determining the current/non-current classification of a convertible note.
The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with the normal requirements in IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. These amendments did not have a significant impact on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
(e) Recent accounting pronouncements
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The amendments have an effective date of later than December 31, 2024, with earlier application permitted.
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, IFRS 18 was issued to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities. The standard, which replaces IAS 1, impacts the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of earnings where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements, and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.
3. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impact of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements were the same as those applied to the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Impairment
During the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company became aware that the operator of the Alce exploration project did not renew the relevant mining concessions and therefore the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. As a result, the Company concluded that the Alce royalty should be fully impaired as of June 30, 2023, and the carrying value of the investment of $500,000 had been reduced to $nil.
6. Credit facility
Facility terms
On January 16, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) providing for a $15,000,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility includes an accordion feature which provides for an additional $10,000,000 of availability, subject to certain conditions. The Facility, secured against the assets of the Company, is available for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, and investments, subject to certain limitations. At the Company’s election, amounts drawn on the Facility bear interest at either (i) a rate determined by reference to the U.S. dollar base rate plus a margin of 1.5% to 2.5% per annum, or (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus a margin of 2.60% to 3.60% per annum. The undrawn portion of the Facility is subject to a standby fee of 0.5625% to 0.7875% per annum, all of which is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement with BMO dated January 16, 2024). The Facility has an initial term that matures on December 31, 2025 and is extendable one-year at a time through mutual agreement between Vox and BMO. The Facility includes covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including the Company’s leverage ratios and meet certain non-financial requirements. As a June 30, 2024, Vox was in compliance with all such covenants.
As at June 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the Facility.

Restricted Share Unit Plan
The Plan provides that the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, grant directors, officers, employees and consultants non-transferable RSUs based on the value of the Company’s share price at the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to issue cash or equity settle the vested RSUs. The RSUs issued were treated as equity-settled instruments and measured at the grant date fair value because the Company does not have a present obligation to settle the issued RSUs in cash.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 968,448 RSUs were granted, and vest in 25% increments on each of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025.
The share-based compensation expense related to RSU grants is recorded over the vesting period.

15. Commitments and contingencies
The Company is, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business. Other than as noted below, the Company believes that none of the litigation in which it is currently involved or have been involved with during the period ended June 30, 2024, individually or in the aggregate, is material to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Litigation matter
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company and SilverStream became aware that the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects did not renew all or substantially all of the relevant mining concessions and therefore the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining extinguished the mining concessions. As a result, the Company fully impaired the four royalties as of December 31, 2023, and the carrying value of the investment of $1,000,000 was reduced to $nil. The Company has filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, as discussed below, against the operator of the Jaw, Phoebe, Cart and Colossus exploration projects. Pursuant to the original agreement signed with the operator on July 15, 2021, if any of the four exploration projects became relinquished within three years of signing the original agreement, the operator must promptly provide Vox with a replacement royalty for each relinquished royalty and with each replacement royalty having a value of at least $250,000. To the extent Vox is granted one or more replacement royalties, the Company expects to reverse up to $1,000,000 of the 2023 impairment charge, which would increase net income by the equivalent amount. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, no replacement royalties have been granted.
SilverStream filed a writ and statement of claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Titan Minerals Limited (“Titan”) on February 23, 2024, along with an amended writ and statement of claim on March 28, 2024, in respect of the Titan assets. SilverStream is seeking to enforce its rights to be issued replacement royalties and/or damages in respect of Titan’s failure to maintain certain mining concessions in Peru in accordance with various royalty deeds entered into between Titan and SilverStream in 2021. As at June 30, 2024, the proceeding is ongoing.

19. Financial instruments
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no material changes to the risks, objectives, policies and procedures during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and royalty receivables in the ordinary course of business. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions and closely monitors its royalty receivable balances. The Company’s royalty receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Vox’s royalty portfolio.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account the amount available under the Company’s revolving credit facility, anticipated cash flows from operations and holding of cash and cash equivalents. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,802,713 (December 31, 2023 - $9,342,880) and working capital of $8,245,591 (December 31, 2023 - $10,378,752).
Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net income due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable denominated in Canadian and Australian dollars. Based on the Company’s Canadian and Australian-denominated monetary assets and liabilities at June 30, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net loss and other comprehensive loss by $519,000.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to the Facility being subject to floating interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates. During the period ended June 30, 2024, a 1% increase (decrease) in nominal interest rates would have increased (decreased) net loss and other comprehensive loss by approximately $75,000.
The Company has cash balances with rates that fluctuate with the prevailing market rate. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in cash accounts or short-term interest-bearing securities issued by chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company does not use any derivative instrument to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
Commodity and share price risk
The Company’s royalties are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of precious and base metals are the primary drivers of the Company’s profitability and ability to generate free cash flow. All of the Company’s future revenue is not hedged in order to provide shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.
The Company’s financial results may be significantly affected by a decline in the price of precious, base and/or ferrous metals. The price of precious and base metals can fluctuate widely, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and income tax liabilities on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments.

Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
As at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value after initial recognition.
