Coyote Copper Mines Inc. Announces Completion of Its Initial Geophysical Interpretation Revealing a Potential Large-Scale Donut Anomaly Consistent with Major Porphyry Systems

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 12, 2026) – Coyote Copper Mines Inc. (TSXV: CCMM) (“CCMM” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report the completion and preliminary interpretation of its integrated geophysical and hyperspectral program at the Copper Springs and Gibson claim packages in Arizona.

The results collectively point toward the potential presence of a large, well-developed porphyry copper system, with geophysical signatures that may exceed the scale typically observed in comparable global deposits. This work completes a major component of CCMM’s 2026 exploration plan, which included drone magnetics, hyperspectral satellite imaging, CSEM, MT, 3D IP surveys, and soil geochemistry, as well as geological mapping, sampling, and relogging of historical drill core.

“A Potentially Large Porphyry System Emerging From the Data”

In CCMM’S press releases dated April 9, and April 16, 2026, CCMM outlined its exploration plans.

CCMM initiated a multi-disciplinary exploration program including:

  1. Hyperspectral Satellite Surveys
  2. Drone Magnetic Surveys
  3. MT and 3D IP geophysical surveys
  4. Relogging of historical drill core
  5. Soil Sampling
  6. Mapping, logging, and chip sampling
  7. Channel sampling
  8. Drill permits
  9. Drilling

The purpose of this preliminary work was to help us optimize the drill locations.

CEO Dan Weir commented: “The geophysical information has returned results better than we expected. The Drone Magnetics are showing a massive magnetic low, and the 3D MT-IP geophysics are showing a ‘Donut shape’ around the Magnetic low.”

Weir added: “Many large mining companies look for donut-shaped geophysical anomalies. Normally the donut shapes are 2-3 km in size; we are interpreting an anomaly that is much larger.”

This observation is significant. In global porphyry exploration, donut anomalies of 2-3 km are associated with major copper systems, such as those in Chile, Peru, and the southwestern United States. CCMM’s anomaly appears to exceed this scale, suggesting the potential for a large mineralized footprint.

What is a “Donut” Geophysical Anomaly? Also known as the “BHP Donut”

  1. Large Donut = Large Alteration System = Potential for Large Tonnage. A donut anomaly may represent the alteration halo around a porphyry centre.

“Why the Size of the Donut Matters”

The larger the halo, the potential for a larger hydrothermal system that produced it.

At Copper Springs and Gibson:

The magnetic low indicates magnetite-destructive phyllic alteration. (Source: “A ‘donut’ shaped magnetic low often represents magnetite-destructive alteration… around a central core.”)

The surrounding IP chargeability highs and resistivity lows indicate sulphide-rich shells typical of porphyry copper systems.

The scale of the anomaly exceeds the 2-3 km diameter commonly referenced in BHP’s global exploration work.

  • BHP has used this technique to identify potential targets in regions like Chile (e.g., the Cristal Project near Arica), where a 2-3km donut feature was identified in 2012-2014, signaling a potential buried porphyry.
  • Serbian Project (Timok): Exploration targets similar to the Majdanpek porphyry copper deposit in Serbia, linked to BHP’s interests, included a donut-shaped high IP chargeability anomaly, which is a key indicator for a pyrite shell.

Please note: The information disclosed concerning BHP’s results is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization found on CMM’s properties.

This combination is consistent with large, multi-phase porphyry systems capable of hosting significant copper endowments.

  1. Multi-Dataset Confirmation Increases Confidence in Scale, The donut signature is not coming from a single dataset.

It is separately confirmed by Drone Magnetics: A large, coherent magnetic low sits at the centre of the project area and centered inside the west donut.

CSEM & MT: Deep conductivity contrasts outline the same geometry at depth.

Hyperspectral Satellite Imaging: A propylitic halo surrounds a potassic core-exactly the alteration architecture expected in large porphyry systems.

When multiple geophysical and geological datasets align on the same geometry, the probability of a significant mineralized system increases substantially.

  1. Geological Mapping Confirms a Multi-Kilometre Hydrothermal System:

– Multi-generation breccias
– Pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization
– Phyllic and propylitic alteration
– Multiple intrusive phases

These features are consistent with the upper and lateral portions of a porphyry system, and their distribution corresponds to the geophysical footprint of the eastern donut.

  1. Depth Advantage:

Targets Begin at Surface, unlike the adjacent Resolution Mine where mineralization begins at ~1,200 m depth. CCMM’s targets begin at or near surface, significantly reducing:

– Drilling costs
– Time to discovery
– Capital intensity of early exploration

This is a rare advantage in a Tier-1 porphyry district.

In summary, the geophysical surveys outline the following:

Drone Magnetics-
A large, coherent magnetic low sits at the centre of the project area.

3D IP (Chargeability & Resistivity)-
A ring-shaped chargeability high surrounds the magnetic low.

CSEM & MT-
Deep conductivity contrasts outline the same geometry at depth.

Hyperspectral Satellite Imaging-
A propylitic halo surrounds a potassic core-exactly the alteration architecture expected in large porphyry systems.

When multiple geophysical and geological datasets align on the same geometry, the probability of a significant mineralized system increases substantially.

What this means for the Investor:

1. The scale of the anomaly suggests a potentially large porphyry system. Large porphyry systems globally exhibit similar multi-kilometre donut signatures.

2. Multiple datasets confirm the same geometry.
This reduces exploration risk and increases confidence.

3. Targets begin at surface. This accelerates the path to discovery and reduces cost.

4. CCMM controls the land package surrounding the anomaly. This provides full exposure to the upside.

Deep Blue Geophysics Re-Interpretation

  • Deep Blue employed its proprietary DeepBlueEM2D code to conduct 2D Spectral IP inversions of two legacy SIP profiles collected by Zonge in 2007. This provided a 2D model of resistivity and chargeability beneath each profile.

QUALIFIED PERSON

Michael N. Feinstein, PhD, CPG, is the “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101-Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and he has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure contained in this press release. Michael is independent of the Issuer.

Zonge International completed the field work for the CSEM/SIP

  • Zonge International Acquired CSEM/SIP and broadband MT data on the Copper Springs Project on a 3D grid. Vector stations of Ex, Ey were planned and setup at 59 stations. Roughly half of the stations measured Hx, Hy magnetic fields. 14 transmitter dipoles are planned to be read from 7 transmitter locations.
  • The transmitted signal was a 100-percent duty-cycle square wave. Initial base frequencies were 0.125, 1, 8, and 64 Hz. Total read time was approximately 2 hours per transmitter dipole.
  • All MT data was acquired from 0.01-1,024Hz, the data was collected before and after the CSEM/SIP reads. All data was acquired at 4096 samples per second.
  • A distant remote reference site was deployed. The remote site was deployed away from powerlines, pipelines, and other cultural electromagnetic sources to the extent possible. A location to the SE of the grid was chosen.
  • ZONGE surveyed the station locations and wire path using Garmin 64s Handheld GPS.
  • All acquired field data was checked through a QA/QC review and processed daily using the Zonge CSEM and MT Processing workflow. The data was processed in two large batches. One about halfway through the project and once at the end.
  • Instrumentation consisted of ZONGE broadband ZEN receivers. Magnetic field data was acquired with ZONGE ANT-4 low frequency broadband induction feedback coils. There will be spare receivers on site if possible. The receiver electrodes will consist of rusted steel plates.
  • The source for the CSEM/SIP data was a Zonge GGT-10, 10 KVA transmitter system. Multiple systems were utilized to minimize delays between transmitter reads If 90% of the source-receiver combinations and 90% of the MT soundings were successfully acquired without equipment failure or operator error.

Zonge Engineering – Drone Magnetic Survey

  • Zonge covered an area of 33 km2, with lines-oriented east-west at 50-meter line spacing. The approximate total coverage is 650 line-km.
  • Magnetic data was acquired using a Drone-based magnetometer system. The magnetic system comprises a Geometrics MagArrow cesium vapor total-field scalar magnetometer. The platform is a battery-operated DJI Matrice 300 RTK quad-copter. The magnetometer will be attached to the drone using 3-meter suspension cables. GPS positions and total field intensity data are recorded continuously at a sample rate of 1000 Hz and reduced to 10 Hz during post-processing. Drone speed will be set between 8 and 9 m/s, depending on the terrain. The 10 Hz data sampling interval, acquired at a speed of 9 m/s, yields approximately 1 m data points along flight lines. Flight altitude will be 50m AGL. The line locations are subject to change based on flight logistics, terrain, ground access, and the UAV’s line of visual sight.
  • Flight paths were planned using Universal Ground Control Station terrain following software and uploaded to the UAV prior to each flight. Elevation data for flight altitude control will be sampled from USGS LiDAR terrain data.
  • High winds or sudden gusts of wind can cause a pendulum motion in the tow cable, which could set the sensor out of proper orientation. The Geometrics MagArrow has two Micro-Fabricated Atomic Magnetometer (MFAM) sensors ensuring that when one sensor is in its dead zone the other is at its optimum orientation. This avoids reading dropouts during the survey. The MagArrow has a 5nT heading error, which will be compensated for by flying a calibration flight. Data was compensated using software developed by Geometrics.
  • A base magnetometer recorded continuously at a fixed ground location to allow for diurnal corrections.

Copper Springs Project May 2007 Zonge Engineering 2D IP

  • 250-meter dipoles were used to collect dipole-dipole frequency domain CRIP data on the two CRIP lines completed at Copper Springs. CRIP data collected in a series of receiver transmitter dipole combinations create a pseudo-depth plot referred to as a “pseudosection” (n = 1 is a shallow reading; n = 6 is the deepest). The rule is: The greater the “n” space number, the greater the depth of investigation. Resistivities are calculated from voltage measurements and the array geometry. With this dipole-dipole array it ispossible to electrically image features to depths of 750 meters with the TS2DIP inversion software developed by Zonge. Basic complex resistivity data (CRIP) were collected at 0.125 Hz. The current-controlled waveform produced by the GGT series transmitter at 0.125 Hz approximates an idealizedsquare wave. Deconvolution of the Fourier transform of digitized time-series voltage with an idealized current produces complex resistivity data. This allows four harmonic components to be calculated at the fundamental frequency of 0.125 Hz (0.375, 0.625, 0.875 and 1.125 Hz), providing a total of five measured frequencies per stack. Multiple stacks were collected at each setup.
  • Dipole-dipole voltage and phase data are displayed as “Apparent Resistivity”, “Raw Phase at 0.125 Hz” and “Three-frequency DC corrected Phase” (3-Pt DC Phase). Multifrequency resistivity and phase data obtained from this single frequency transmitted square wave signal provide sufficient bandwidth to correct “Raw Phase” data for array-based electromagnetic coupling. Induced polarization (IP) is determined from these corrected phase values. Other than differences due to electromagnetic (EM) coupling, phase isdirectly related to “induced polarization IP”. The “Three-frequency DC” (direct current) phase correction is based on a quadratic equation defined by three frequencies: the phase at 0.125 Hz (fundamental frequency)along with the third and fifth harmonic phase data. The “zero” frequency intercept defines a phase value that approximates the IP response. Since the contribution of electromagnetic coupling is theoretically “zero” at “zero” frequency, this results in a reasonably accurate measure of induced polarization IP.
  • Electromagnetic (EM) coupling levels encountered at Copper Springs were not unusual. EM coupling is proportional to frequency: CRIP data were collected at 0.125 Hz. EM coupling is proportional to the square of the dipole length: while the 250 meter dipole lengths used at Copper Springs will produce electromagnetic coupling, resistivities are reasonably high. EM coupling is inversely proportional to the survey resistivities: the moderately high resistivities encountered at Copper Springs produce minimal EM coupling. A comparison between “Raw Phase at 0.125 Hz” and “Three-frequency DC corrected Phase” (3-Pt DC Phase) pseudosections indicates the degree of the EM coupling present.

Deep Blue Geophysics – Interpretation of Zonge’s Data

  • Deep Blue Geophysics LLC (Deep Blue) completed specialized Data Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) and advanced 3D inversion services, for CCMM. This project focused on the integration of broadband Controlled-Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) and Magnetotelluric (MT) data collected by Zonge at the Copper Springs site.
  • Deep Blue performed a rigorous audit of all Zonge deliverables to ensure the highest data integrity before modeling. This included:
  • CSEM Analysis: Inspection of response data for each transmitter-receiver pair to ensure signal quality.
  • MT Analysis: Systematic review of MT response data for each receiver station to identify and mitigate environmental noise or artifacts.
  • Joint 3D Spectral IP Inversion Deep Blue employed proprietary DeepBlueEM3D platform to conduct a sophisticated 3D Spectral IP inversion, providing a 3D model of resistivity and chargeability. This workflow integrates the CSEM and MT data to provide a unified subsurface model.
  • Integrated Dataset: Zonge CSEM and MT data was collected at approximately 59 receiver stations using 7 transmitter dipoles
  • Modeling Parameters: Inversions utilized a frequency range of 0.125 Hz to 1000 Hz to resolve spectral IP (resistivity amplitude and phase).
  • Staged Modeling Workflow: 1. Stand-alone 3D inversion of MT data. 2. Stand-alone 3D inversion of CSEM data. 3. Joint 3D inversion of the combined MT-CSEM dataset.
  • Objective: Interpretation & Drill Targeting Following the inversion process, Deep Blue collaborated with Coyote Copper Mines to interpret the 3D volumes. This phase ensures that geophysical anomalies are cross-referenced with geological context to provide prioritized recommendations for future drill-hole locations.

HyperSpectral – Satellite Survey by Earth Daily (EDA)

  • EDA’s Base Earth Composites (BEC) are unique multispectral datasets that have been specifically engineered to provide the best quality and data coverage over any AOI across the globe.
  • ASTER data, considered the workhorse of remote sensing (RS) mineral exploration, is used as the base of our Fused BEC data, contributing 6 bands of SWIR data (30 m) to the composite. This is combined with 9 bands from the Sentinel-2 multispectral (MS) dataset to provide better coverage (more bands) and higher resolution (10/20 resolution predominately) over the VNIR.
  • EDA’s FUSED BEC’s are particularly valued for greenfields exploration, as they provide early indications of mineral alteration (mapping mineral groups as indices, band ratios and (R,G,B) images at a regional scale). This results in the generation of RS maps that may target alteration.
  • Airborne hyperspectral data (i.e. from USGS or other suppliers), such as AVIRIS Classic is a great source of mineral mapping data, with 224 bands of continuous data with a good medium spatial resolution of 15 m.
  • New spaceborne hyperspectral data (i.e. PRISMA or EnMap sensors), with hundreds of bands over the VNIR-SWIR provide the capability of mineral species mapping, despite their 30 m spatial resolution. This can be a huge advantage as you have much more confidence that targeted alteration is the ‘right’ composition for the deposit type you are targeting.
  • Data from the Bare Earth Composite (BEC) multispectral data products will provide insights on compositional variability across the Copper Springs project area. All data will be masked for water, vegetation, snow, cloud, cloud-shadow and topographic shadow (if needed), to eliminate the potential for false-positives. A suite of compositional mapping products from the BEC data will be generated for Fe-oxides, hydrothermal minerals, clays, micas, phyllosilicates and carbonates over the project AOI, and will be used to provide generalized guidance on alteration and lithology compositional characteristics across the AOI (Table 1). Additional processing will be undertaken using transforms like PCA and MNF to map any lithology or significant compositional differences across the study area.
  • ASTER Emissivity data is also available and will be checked in case it is helpful for highlighting the presence of silicates (i.e. quartz), but it does have limitations at a spatial resolution of 90 m, and there may be gaps in coverage in the north. Lastly, available DEM datasets (including those from AG) will be used to provide elevation and hillshade products to combine with selected BEC products as is found to be useful for visualization.

Jayant Bhandari – Why Societies Take Millennia to Change

April 29, 2026

Modern people believe technology, education, and new institutions can transform societies within a generation or two. They confuse surface-level change with the deep moral and psychological substrate that actually holds a civilization together.

On Investments

  • G2 Goldfields (GTWO; $10.25) is being acquired. There is a modest arbitrage upside, but the merger should also enable economies of scale, accelerate the path to production, and reduce corporate expenses. One could sell two July 17, 2026, $50 call options on the acquiring company, GMIN, for every 1,000 shares of GTWO at US$5.10 each, thereby “locking in” a roughly 15% return. Of course, if the merger does not proceed, one could be left exposed.
  • Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE: GORO; US$1.40) is also being acquired. The arbitrage value is approximately US$1.50. One could sell June 18, 2026, $1.50 put options on GORO for US$0.30 and expect them to expire unexercised.
  • Star Royalties (STRR; $0.50) is being acquired by Summit Royalties (SUM). There is a 7% arbitrage upside—modest, but still attractive. The merged entity will be run by Drew Clark, who has extensive experience acquiring royalties. I expect to hold SUM after the merger closes.

Coyote Copper Mines Inc. Begins Exploration Work on New Sulphide Copper Zone

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 16, 2026) – Coyote Copper Mines Inc. (TSXV: CCMM) (the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has begun work on a newly discovered zone, with exposed copper sulphide mineralization and magmatic breccias within the Copper Triangle of Arizona. Channel samples are being cut with a Diamond Saw and dispatched to American Assayers Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada for Analysis.

As outlined in CCMM’s April 9, 2026 press release, the Corporation has now initiated a multi-disciplinary exploration program across the project area.

Current program components

  • Hyperspectral and satellite surveys
  • Drone magnetic surveys
  • MT and 3D IP geophysical surveys
  • Relogging of historical drill core
  • Soil sampling
  • Mapping, logging, and chip sampling
  • Channel sampling
  • Drill permitting

Recent field efforts have led to the identification of a new mineralized zone, which includes a breccia pipe referred to as the Maher Breccia. The broader zone remains under active evaluation, with current project mapping indicating a strike length of more than 4 km and a width exceeding 600 m.

Dan Weir commented: “The 96 historical drill holes and the historical resource at the Copper Springs Project were largely focused on oxide and transition-zone copper mineralization. Finding sulphide copper and molybdenum mineralization at surface, rather than at depths of roughly 1,200 m like the Resolution deposit, is a game changer for us. This new zone has already attracted the attention of larger companies.”

Precious Metals Royalties Firm to Offer Dividends in Tether’s Tokenized Gold

Elemental Royalty signaled on Tuesday that investors will be able to receive dividends in the form of Tether’s XAUT, establishing a novel use case for tokenized gold on Wall Street.

The move is aimed at providing investors with direct ownership of physical gold, stemming from investments in gold royalties, the Colorado-based firm said in a press release. In total, investors are expected to receive a 12 cent dividend across several quarterly payments.

The company’s investors can still receive distributions in cash, as is traditional. But Elemental CEO David Cole described the company’s support of Tether’s product as innovative.

“The decision to offer investors a dividend in kind, in the form of Tether Gold, further differentiates Elemental as a forward-thinking, growth-oriented investment,” he said.

Elemental’s stock price fell 7.8% on Tuesday to $19.41, according to Yahoo Finance. The firm makes money by acquiring royalties tied to mining projects. Elemental said its approach avoids risks associated with owning and operating a mine, while maintaining the upside.

Tether’s legacy was built on tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar, but the stablecoin issuer has embraced tokenized gold as the precious metal’s price has surged 66% over the past year. Meanwhile, XAUT’s market capitalization has swelled to $2.5 billion from $714 million.

Gold Is the Real Bubble, Says Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood—Not AI

Earlier this month, the token’s total value peaked at $3.5 billion, according to CoinGecko, as the price of gold rose to new highs.

In January, YouTube rival Rumble said that it had adopted XAUT as a medium of exchange on its platform, allowing users to tip the token to creators alongside Bitcoin and Tether’s flagship stablecoin, USDT. To bolster the token’s use in payments, Tether also introduced the term Scudo, which represents 1/1,000th of a troy ounce of gold and its XAUT token.

Those moves were focused on consumers, but Elemental shows how tokenized gold can be used as a tool in real-world corporate finance, according to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino.

“This marks a major step forward for the gold industry and shows how tokenized assets can unlock new financial models that were previously out of reach,” he said in a press release, describing previous efforts to integrate the token on Wall Street as difficult.

Tether Will Keep Adding to $24 Billion Gold Stash Held in Former Nuclear Bunker, Says CEO

Earlier this month, Ardoino estimated that the company’s gold holdings stood at 140 tons, nestled within a former nuclear bunker in Switzerland. At the time, that sum was worth an estimated $24 billion. Tether partially backs its $183 billion USDT stablecoin with gold.

At a market capitalization of $2.2 billion, Tether’s XAUT faces competition from PAX Gold. The products debuted within months of each other more than six years ago.

Despite their time in the market, Wintermute is among market makers that have only recently moved to support the token. Last week, the company said that it had begun executing over-the-counter trades in XAUT and PAX Gold on behalf of financial institutions.

The firm that handles billions of dollars in daily trading volume noted that there is robust demand for trading tokenized gold round-the-clock amid de-dollarization pressures. Along those lines, the company forecast that tokenized gold could become a $15 billion market by year-end.

ELEMENTAL ROYALTY ANNOUNCES INAUGURAL DIVIDEND AND OPTION FOR QUALIFYING REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS TO RECEIVE TETHER GOLD

February 17, 2026 – Denver, Colorado: Elemental Royalty Corporation (“Elemental” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: ELE, NASDAQ: ELE) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved an inaugural dividend policy (the “Dividend Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, Elemental expects to declare an annual cash dividend to its shareholders of US$0.12 per Elemental common share, to be paid in quarterly instalments of US$0.03 per share, with the record date for the inaugural dividend to be paid at the end of the first calendar quarter of 2026, and at the end of each calendar quarter following for subsequent dividends.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it anticipates that qualifying registered shareholders will be able to elect to receive their dividend in the form of Tether Gold XAU₮ tokens, of par value to the dividend price, thereby providing Elemental shareholders with direct ownership of physical gold through their investment in gold royalties.

Highlights

  • Maiden Dividend Policy approved by the Board of Directors
  • Expected annual cash dividend of US$0.12 per Elemental share, paid quarterly
  • Anticipated that qualifying registered shareholders will be able to elect that their cash dividends be invested in Tether Gold’s XAU₮ token
  • The Dividend to shareholders is supported by Elemental’s strong projected revenue and cash flow growth profile in 2026 and beyond
  • Further information on how shareholders may elect to receive the dividend or dividend in kind, will be provided in due course

David M. Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Elemental Royalty, commented: “The approval of this dividend policy marks an important milestone in Elemental’s strategic trajectory and reflects our confidence in the strength and momentum of the business; we believe this is the right time to introduce a sustainable, long-term, dividend. The decision to offer investors a dividend in kind, in the form of Tether Gold, further differentiates Elemental as a forward-thinking, growth-oriented investment.”

Stefan Wenger, Chief Financial Officer of Elemental Royalty Corporation, commented“Our inaugural dividend is underpinned by Elemental’s strong balance sheet and future revenue outlook in the near and longer-term: as of December 31, 2025, we had approximately US$53 million of cash and no debt, providing substantial financial flexibility as we continue to invest in growth. We will continue to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, balancing returning capital to shareholders through a progressive dividend which we intend to maintain, or even increase, without compromising on our strategy of accretive growth through the acquisition and generation of precious metals streams and royalties.”

Juan Sartori, Executive Chairman of Elemental Royalty Corporation, commented“We believe the initiation of this dividend policy is a world first for a royalty company: we anticipate enabling qualifying shareholders to elect to have their cash dividend invested in the purchase of the Tether XAU₮ token, thereby facilitating  for shareholders greater exposure to physical gold through Tether Gold’s stablecoin and retaining real long-term value storage via a practical mechanism for gold-denominated investment returns.”

EMX Acquires a Royalty on a Development-Stage Copper Asset in Chile

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 12, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (“EMX” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 1.25% NSR royalty (the “Royalty”) over the Puquios development stage copper project in north central Chile, located near the city of La Serena. The Puquios project is owned by Cuprum Resources Chile SpA, an operating company jointly owned by Camino Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: COR; “Camino”) and Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd of Japan (“Nittetsu”). EMX purchased the Royalty from Santiago Metals Upper Holdco LLC, a company owned by a fund advised by Denham Capital Management LP (“Denham”), which owned and operated the project prior to its sale to Camino and Nittetsu. Camino and Nittetsu each have skilled and experienced mine development teams, and Denham has also financed the construction and operation of numerous mining operations in Chile and elsewhere in the world. Nittetsu has notably operated in partnership with Inversiones Errazuriz to construct and operate the Atacama Kozan (Los Bronces) copper-gold mine in central Chile and is currently constructing the Arqueros copper mine in the La Serena region.

The Puquios project is a supergene copper deposit in the foothills of the Andean mountain range and overlies a partially explored porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit. The current Proven and Probable reserves for the supergene Puquios deposit are 26.0 Mt averaging 0.494% copper1. A Prefeasibility Study for the project was published in March 2025, and shows robust economics for the project, including projected production of 223 million pounds of copper over a 14.2 year mine life (see Camino News Release dated March 17, 2025). Cuprum has obtained the necessary permits to commence construction of the project (including water rights) and Camino and Nittetsu are currently arranging project financing. Camino has provided a recent project update, highlighting the scalability of the project and its development status (see Camino News Release dated Oct 30, 2025).

The supergene copper deposit is located within a hilltop overlying a more extensive primary porphyry copper deposit that has only seen limited drilling. The underlying porphyry deposit remains open in multiple directions and at depth. Additionally, Puquios is positioned within a more extensive belt of hydrothermal alteration and copper and gold occurrences with numerous areas of historic mining and exploration. This belt extends for at least 8 km east to west within the Royalty footprint. The underlying porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit and extensive mineralization trend at Puquios provide EMX with considerable exploration upside and discovery optionality. Camino and Nittetsu are also evaluating the potential for new leach technologies to beneficiate the underlying sulfide copper mineralization, with Nittetsu’s technology demonstrating promising sulphide leaching results (also discussed in the Camino News Release dated Oct 30, 2025).

Commercial terms. EMX has paid Denham USD $6 million in exchange for the Royalty, with another USD $2 million payment due upon the commencement of construction of Puquios. Further, EMX has subscribed to a concurrent financing, where Camino is arranging a non-brokered private placement to raise total gross proceeds of CAD $5.5M for the advancement of Puquios through project financing and a final investment decision. EMX has subscribed to CAD $2.5 million of the financing for approximately 6.94 million shares at CAD $0.36 per share. EMX’s position in Camino provides exposure to Camino’s other exploration projects in Chile and Peru, notably including the Los Chapitos IOCG copper and gold project in Peru, also being explored in cooperation with Nittetsu.

1Notes on Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Reserves estimates for Puquios were reported in Camino News Release dated March 17, 2025 and were prepared by Jesse Aarsen, P.Eng. (who is also an Independent Qualified Person) using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards and have an effective date of September 21, 2021. The cut-off grade used for ore/waste determination is NSR >= US$5.59/t. Cut-off grade assumes US$3.19 /lb Cu, block recoveries from the block model, US$75/t cathode premium, 2% vendor royalty and US$0.30/lb SX/EW costs. The average associated metallurgical recovery for copper was modelled at 79%. Mineral Reserves were converted from Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources through the process of pit optimization, pit design, production schedule and are supported by a positive cash flow model. The Mineral Reserves reported are the tonnages delivered to the crusher, pre-delivery to the heap leach pad. Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in summation differences. Further information and details are available in the Puquios Project Technical Report entitled “Puquios Project – NI 43-101 Technical Report and Pre-feasibility Study, La Higuera, Coquimbo Region, Chile”, with an effective date of January 24, 2025, which is available on SEDAR+ under Camino’s filings. EMX has not performed sufficient work to verify the published data reported above, but EMX believes this information to be reliable and relevant.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 10, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (FSE: 6E9) (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce that the Supreme Court of British Columbia has granted the final order in connection with the Company’s plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement“) with Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. (TSXV: ELE) (OTCQX: ELEMF) (“Elemental Altus“) and 1554829 B.C. Ltd. (“Acquireco“), pursuant to which Elemental Altus will, among other things, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EMX.

Elemental Altus has filed an application to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq“) under the ticker symbol “ELE”. Due to the ongoing United States federal government shutdown, which presently includes the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC“), the Nasdaq has advised that it cannot further advance the listing application until such time as the SEC reopens to complete its review. EMX and Elemental Altus currently expect that the Nasdaq approval of Elemental Altus’s listing application should be forthcoming following the end of the government shutdown and reopening of the SEC and completion of its review process. Until trading commences on the Nasdaq, Elemental Altus’s common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol “ELE” and on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol “ELEMF”.

Subject to obtaining all required approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of all required conditions, the Arrangement is expected to close by mid-November 2025. Following closing of the Arrangement, the EMX shares are expected to be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange, NYSE American Exchange and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (the “De-Listing“). Following the De-Listing, it is anticipated that EMX will apply to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.

For a more detailed description of the Arrangement, please refer to EMX’s management information circular dated September 29, 2025, available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and on the Company’s website at https://emxroyalty.com/investors/special-meeting/.
