NEWS RELEASE
EMX Sells its Moroccan Portfolio and Forms Exploration Alliance with Avesoro
Vancouver, British Columbia, July 8, 2025 (NYSE American: EMX; TSX Venture: EMX) – EMX Royalty Corporation (“EMX”) is pleased to announce the execution of an exploration alliance agreement (the “Agreement”) in the country of Morocco with Avesoro Morocco LTD (“Avesoro”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Avesoro Holdings LTD, a privately owned, West Africa-focused mid-tier gold producer. The Effective date of the Agreement is March 19, 2025, and key conditions precedent for closing have now been completed. Avesoro Holdings, through its subsidiaries, operates gold mines in the country of Liberia and is looking to expand its operations elsewhere in the region. As such, Avesoro brings high levels of operational and exploration experience in western Africa to the alliance. In Morocco, EMX and Avesoro will work together to advance a portfolio of exploration projects that EMX has assembled and to cooperatively explore for new opportunities.
Avesoro will fully fund the alliance activities, which will include the advancement of certain projects in the EMX Moroccan portfolio, as well as new projects identified by the alliance for acquisition. Under the Agreement, Avesoro will acquire EMX’s operating entity in Morocco (“EMX Corp Morocco”, a wholly owned subsidiary of EMX) that currently domiciles EMX’s exploration projects and its Moroccan exploration staff. Projects slated for advancement under the alliance will be initially designated as Alliance Exploration Projects (“AEP’s”). These will be funded from an annual budget agreed upon by Avesoro and EMX. Once a project reaches an appropriate stage of advancement, it can be converted to a Designated Project (“DP”) and advanced from an independent pool of funding provided by Avesoro.
The initial term of the alliance will be two years but can be extended by mutual agreement. At the end of the alliance term, any AEP’s that have not become DP’s will revert to EMX.
Strategic rationale. The sale of EMX’s Moroccan business unit is the latest example of efficient execution of our Royalty Generation business. The exploration alliance with Avesoro will perpetuate EMX’s upside royalty exposure across a large portfolio of exploration assets in a highly prospective region, while reducing ongoing operational expenses.
Commercial Terms Overview. (all terms in USD)
Alliance stage:
Designated project stage:
Overview of EMX’s Moroccan Portfolio. EMX has been active in Morocco since 2021, conducting reconnaissance exploration programs that have resulted in the acquisition of 18 exploration projects in Morocco, comprising 860 square kilometers (see Figure 1). These include a combination of gold, copper and other base metal projects that are strategically located in several of Morocco’s key mineral belts, with three projects in the highly underexplored Moroccan Sahara region, 14 projects in the well-endowed Anti-Atlas belt, home to several of Morocco’s most significant mineral deposits, and one project in the High-Atlas belt.
Morocco is emerging as an attractive jurisdiction for mineral exploration and mineral resource development, benefiting from a stable regulatory framework, well-developed infrastructure, and highly prospective geological settings. The country hosts significant precious and base metal mines yet remains underexplored compared to other mining regions.
In advance of signing the Alliance, EMX and Avesoro have agreed upon extensive follow-up programs to continue to advance the projects. Nine of the existing EMX projects will be designated as AEP’s at the onset of alliance activities.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 2, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce the sale of its Nordic operational platform to First Nordic Metals Corporation (TSXV: FNM) (“FNM”), a current partner of EMX and operator on multiple EMX royalty properties in Sweden and Finland. This strategic divestment will include EMX’s infrastructure, exploration equipment and employees in the Nordic countries. EMX views this transaction as highly synergistic, as it will reduce EMX’s operational and administrative expenses while providing additional operational capacity for FNM to advance its Gold Line interests in Sweden and its Oijärvi gold project in Finland, where EMX holds royalty interests. EMX will also be granted future royalty interests on projects organically generated by FNM for a period of five years.
Strategic Rationale and Long-Term Benefits
This transaction is part of a broader initiative to streamline EMX’s global operations and reduce administrative costs while maintaining upside royalty exposure in partner-funded generative exploration efforts. EMX has been conducting generative exploration in the Nordic Countries for over 15 years and has generated a broad portfolio of royalties in the region, which will be retained by EMX. In addition, EMX will be granted future royalty interests on projects organically generated by FNM for a period of five years. This transaction fits EMX strategic objectives and provides an operational boost to an existing partner and operator.
Commercial Terms
As consideration for the sale, EMX will receive staged payments totaling 3.25 million SEK (approximately US$335,000) over a period of two years. The payments will be made in equal proportions of cash and the equivalent value in shares of FNM.
Additionally, FNM will grant EMX a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on any newly generated projects in Sweden and Finland during the next five years.

Summary of Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
Key Strategic Developments
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the period subsequent to quarter end, EMX has completed several key transactions that demonstrate our strategy of incremental revenue growth and disciplined capital management as we move into 2025. These key developments include:
Outlook
The Company is maintaining its 2025 guidance2 of GEOs sales of 10,000 to 12,000, adjusted royalty revenue of $26,000,000 to $32,000,000 and option and other property income of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.
Capital Management
For 2025, EMX has established the following capital allocation goals for 2025:
Portfolio Growth
The drivers for near and long term growth in cash flow will come from the material producing assets at Caserones in Chile and Timok in Serbia. At Caserones, Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin”) has initiated an exploration program which is intended to expand mineral resources and mineral reserves while at the same time looking to increase throughput at the plant. At Timok, Zijin Mining Group Co. (“Zijin”) continues to develop the Lower Zone copper porphyry block cave project while continuing to produce from the high-grade Upper Zone. Zijin also announced the recently discovered high-grade Malka Golaja Copper-Gold Deposit south of the Cukaru Peki mine and within EMX’s royalty footprint. Analysis of recent satellite imagery over the Brestovac license, which contains the Cukaru Peki Mine and is covered by EMX’s royalty, shows substantial development of new drill pads with numerous drill rigs visible in the images in the southeast corner of the license where Malka Golaja is located.
We anticipate the recently announced $10,000,000 acquisition of a royalty on the Chapi Copper Mine property in Peru will begin contributing to royalty revenue in 2026. We are excited by the addition of a high-quality copper royalty to the portfolio that has excellent upside development and exploration potential located in the prolific Paleocene-Eocene copper-molybdenum porphyry belt of Southern Peru.
In Türkiye, at Gediktepe, ACG Metals announced that the Sulphide Expansion Project remains on schedule for commissioning in Q1 2026, with no delays or cost overruns, reinforcing Gediktepe’s transition into a long-life, low-cost copper producer.
AbraSilver Resource Corp. continues to advance Diablillos in Argentina and announced that it expects to complete its definitive feasibility study by Q1 2026 and make a construction decision in the second half of 2026. At the Viscaria copper-iron-silver development project in Sweden, the Supreme Court of Sweden announced in April 2025 it will not grant leave to appeal Viscaria’s environmental permit. This decision means that Viscaria’s environmental permit can no longer be appealed and thus gains legal force. Viscaria now has all permits in place to start the construction of the industrial area including the enrichment plant, and to start operations in the mine. These developments are all examples of the upside optionality that exists throughout EMX’s global royalty portfolio.
EMX is well positioned to identify and pursue new royalty and investment opportunities, while continuing to grow a pipeline of royalty generation properties for partnership. As the Company continues to generate revenues from its producing royalty assets as well as from other option, advance royalty and pre-production payments across its global asset portfolio, various opportunities for capital redeployment will be evaluated. Such opportunities may include the direct acquisition of royalties, continued organic generation of royalties through partner funded projects and select strategic investments.
First Quarter Results for 2025
In Q1 2025, the Company recognized $11.4 million and $10.8 million in adjusted revenue and other income3 and adjusted royalty revenue3, respectively, which represented a 38% and 40% increase, respectively, compared to Q1 2024. The increase is largely due to a $1.3 million increase in royalty revenue from Gediktepe and a $1.0 million increase in royalty revenue from Caserones when compared to Q1 2024.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material assumptions, including those listed below, which could prove to be significantly incorrect, including disruption to production at any of the mineral properties in which the Company has a royalty, or other interest; estimated capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns; estimated metal pricing (including the estimates from the CIBC Global Mining Group’s Consensus Commodity Price Forecasts published on March 3, 2025), metallurgy, mineability, marketability and operating and capital costs, together with other assumptions underlying the Company’s resource and reserve estimates; the expected ability of any of the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, or other interest to develop adequate infrastructure at a reasonable cost; assumptions that all necessary permits and governmental approvals will remain in effect or be obtained as required to operate, develop or explore the various properties in which the Company holds an interest; and the activities on any on the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, or other interest will not be adversely disrupted or impeded by development, operating or regulatory risks or any other government actions.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, amongst others, failure to maintain or receive necessary approvals, changes in business plans and strategies, market conditions, share price, best use of available cash, copper, gold and other commodity price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks relating to the parties which produce the gold or other commodity the Company will purchase, regulatory restrictions, activities by governmental authorities (including changes in taxation), currency fluctuations, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility and competition.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions, the absence of control over mining operations from which the Company will receive royalties from, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, risks in the marketability of minerals, fluctuations in the price of gold and other commodities, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, stock market volatility, as well as those factors discussed in the Company’s MD&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and the most recently filed Annual Information Form (“AIF”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, actual events may differ materially from current expectations. More information about the Company, including the MD&A, the AIF and financial statements of the Company, is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the SEC’s EDGAR website at www.sec.gov. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained or incorporated by reference, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Future-Oriented Financial Information
This news release may contain future-oriented financial information (“FOFI”) within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, about prospective results of operations, financial position, GEOs and anticipated royalty payments based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action, which FOFI is not presented in the format of a historical balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company’s activities and results and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including the assumptions discussed under the headings above entitled “Outlook” and “Forward-Looking Statements” and assumptions with respect to the future metal prices, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, realization of mineral reserve estimates and the timing and amount of estimated future production. Management does not have, or may not have had at the relevant date, or other financial assumptions which may have been used to prepare the FOFI or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects are not, or may not have been at the relevant date of the FOFI, objectively determinable.
Importantly, the FOFI contained in this news release are, or may be, based upon certain additional assumptions that management believes to be reasonable based on the information currently available to management, including, but not limited to, assumptions about: (i) the future pricing of metals, (ii) the future market demand and trends within the jurisdictions in which the Company or the mining operators operate, and (iii) the operating cost and effect on the production of the Company’s royalty partners. The FOFI or financial outlook contained in this news release do not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with IFRS, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in any such document, and such variation may be material (including due to the occurrence of unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the preparation of the FOFI). The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments as at the applicable date. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed under the heading above entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s public disclosures, FOFI or financial outlook within this news release should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-IFRS financial measures in this press release, as discussed below. EMX believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. These non-IFRS financial measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
Non-IFRS financial measures are defined in National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”) as a financial measure disclosed that (a) depicts the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of an entity, (b) with respect to its composition, excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the entity, (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements of the entity, and (d) is not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. A non-IFRS ratio is defined by NI 52-112 as a financial measure disclosed that (a) is in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation, (b) has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements.
The following table outlines the non-IFRS financial measures, their definitions, the most directly comparable IFRS measures and why the Company use these measures.
Non-IFRS financial measure | Definition | Most directly comparable IFRS measure | Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors | |||
Adjusted revenue and other income | Defined as revenue and other income including the Company’s share of royalty revenue related to the Company’s effective royalty on Caserones. | Revenue and other income | The Company believes these measures more accurately depict the Company’s revenue related to operations as the adjustment is to account for revenue from a material asset | |||
Adjusted royalty revenue | Defined as royalty revenue including the Company’s share of royalty revenue related to the Company’s effective royalty on Caserones. | Royalty revenue | ||||
Adjusted cash flows from operating activities | Defined as cash flows from operating activities plus the cash distributions related to the Company’s effective royalty on Caserones. | Cash flows from operating activities | The Company believes this measure more accurately depicts the Company’s cash flows from operations as the adjustment is to account for cash flows from a material asset. | |||
Gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) | GEOs is a non-IFRS measure that is based on royalty interests and calculated on a quarterly basis by dividing adjusted royalty revenue by the average gold price during such quarter. The gold price is determined based on the LBMA PM fix. For periods longer than one quarter, GEOs are summed for each quarter in the period. | Royalty revenue | The Company uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance across the royalty portfolio for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. | |||
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA | EBITDA represents net earnings or loss for the period before income tax expense or recovery, depreciation and amortization, finance costs. Adjusted EBITDA adds all revenue from the Caserones Royalty less any equity income from the equity investment in SLM California (Caserones Royalty holder). Additionally, it removes the effects of items that do not reflect our underlying operating performance and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. These may include: share based payments expense; unrealized and realized gains and losses on investments; write-downs of assets; impairments or reversals of impairments; foreign exchange gains or losses; and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses or recoveries. | Earnings or loss before income tax | The Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are widely used by investors and analysts as useful indicators of our operating performance, our ability to invest in capital expenditures, our ability to incur and service debt and also as a valuation metric. | |||
Working capital | Defined as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital does not include assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale | Current assets, current liabilities | The Company believes that working capital is a useful indicator of the Company’s liquidity. |

North Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 12, 2025) – Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (“Lion One” or the “Company“) is pleased to report significant new high-grade gold results from 2,701.4 meters of underground infill and grade control drilling at its 100% owned Tuvatu Alkaline Gold Project in Fiji (“Tuvatu“). The drilling is focused on the Ura lode system which is currently being mined. The Company intersected high-grade mineralized structures in 21 holes, most of which did not exceed 150 m in length.
There are two primary targets for the Ura drilling reported in this release: the planned Ura shrinkage stope in development at the top of the Ura system, and the down-dip extension of the Ura lodes below current underground workings (Figure 1).
The Ura lode system is currently being mined from both the 1095 and 1116 levels of the mine. A shrinkage stope is being developed between the 1116 and 1156 levels of the mine. This shrinkage stope is scheduled for mining within the next three months and will be mined over a strike length of approximately 80 m, with narrow mining widths of approximately 1.5 m. This stope encompasses numerous very high-grade gold drill results, such as 54.16 g/t gold over 1.9 m, which includes 156.55 g/t gold over 0.6 m. Previous drilling in the shrinkage stope has returned similarly strong results over narrow widths, such as 168.95 g/t gold over 0.5 m (see press release dated March 25, 2025).
The Ura lode system remains open at depth and is largely untested below the currently modeled lodes. The second target for the drilling reported in this release is the down-dip extension of the Ura lodes. High-grade gold drill results were returned up to 90 m below the current underground workings, indicating the potential for at least 4 to 5 additional levels of mining below the current underground workings, most of which is outside the current resource. The system is a prime target for resource expansion and upgrade.
Highlights of New Drill Results:
*Drill intersects are downhole lengths, 3.0 g/t cutoff. True width not known. See Table 1 for additional data.

Ura Lode System
The Ura lode system was first discovered during the initial development of the mine decline in late 2022 and was initially modelled as a single lode. It is now understood to be a system of lodes, with at least three separate lodes already identified: Ura 1, Ura 2, and Ura 3. The Ura system remains largely untested outside of current mining areas. The system extends to surface and is open at depth.
The Ura 1, Ura 2, and Ura 3 lodes all consist of narrow high-grade structures with high grade gold intersections. The Ura 1 and Ura 3 lodes dip subvertically to the west and strike approximately 200° to the SSW. The Ura 2 lode strikes approximately 205° to the SSW and dips at approximately 45° to the west, toward the West Zone. The Ura 2 lode intersects the Ura 1 lode slightly below the 1116 level while the Ura 3 lode is located between the Ura 2 and Ura 1 lodes. All three lodes have current total strike lengths of approximately 220 m each and remain open both at depth and to the south. The west extent of the Ura 2 lode remains entirely untested.
The drilling reported in this news release was conducted from three underground drill stations; the 1095, 1116, and 1116.SP drill stations. The drilling targeted two areas: the Ura 1 shrinkage stope area in development between the 1116 and 1156 levels, and the Ura 1, Ura 2, and Ura 3 lodes down-dip of the current underground workings.
Drilling in the Ura shrinkage stope is being conducted on a 12.5 m grid to provide a detailed understanding of the structure and mineralization of the lode in advance of mining. The shrinkage stope is already under development and the first rise is complete. The stope is anticipated to be approximately 80 m long, 35 m tall, and 1.5 m wide. It is scheduled for mining over the next three months, with the bulk of production coming in July.

The Ura down-dip drilling reported in this release primarily targeted areas outside the current resource. The Ura system is largely untested below and to the west of the currently modeled lodes, and the system is a prime target for resource expansion. Limited drilling has been conducted below the current underground workings. High grade drill results were returned approximately 90 m below the current underground workings, and 55 m below the currently modeled lodes. This represents an additional four to five levels of mineralization below the current mine levels, with strong potential for mineralization to continue further at depth. The Ura down-dip drill program is targeting a 12.5 m drill hole density to bring these additional levels of mineralization into the resource and into the mine plan this year.

Left image: Section view looking east perpendicular to the Ura lodes with select high-grade intercepts highlighted. Right image: Section vier looking NNE approximately along srike of the Ura 1 and Ura 3 lodes. High grade gold mineralization has been intersected in the Ura lodes 90 m down-dip of the current underground workings, and 55 m down-dip of the currently modeled lodes. The system remains open at depth. Ura lodes shown in light purple, underground workings in grey.
