EMX Royalty Announces Q2 2025 Results; Increased 2025 Guidance and Significant Increases in Cash Flow from Operations

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 11, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to report results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted). EMX delivered revenue and other income of $14.7 million, adjusted royalty revenue[1] of $19.0 million and adjusted EBITDA1 of $12.1 million.

Dave Cole, EMX CEO, commented, “For the first half of 2025 we achieved growth in adjusted royalty revenue and adjusted EBITDA, and strengthened our financial position through disciplined capital management and opportunistic share buybacks. With rising commodity prices and growing revenue, we have increased our 2025 revenue guidance as we continue our momentum into the second half of 2025.”

Q2 2025 Financial Highlights

  • Adjusted royalty revenue1 of $8.2 million, similar to comparative quarter;
  • Adjusted cash flows from operating activities1 of $9.0 million, up 570% from the comparative quarter primarily due to the collection of $6.9 million and $1.5 million in deferred payments from AbraSilver Resources and Aftermath Silver, respectively;
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $4.9 million, similar to comparative quarter, demonstrating strong cash flow conversion; and
  • Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 of $17.2 million and working capital1 of $30.2 million, demonstrating financial flexibility for growth.

Key Strategic Developments

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, and the period subsequent to quarter end EMX completed several key transactions that demonstrate our strategy of incremental revenue growth and disciplined capital management. These key developments include:

  • In April 2025, the Company made a $10.0 million early repayment towards the Franco-Nevada credit facility, decreasing the principal outstanding from $35.0 million to $25.0 million;
  • In April 2025, the Company received an early Diablillos property payment from AbraSilver Resource Corp. totaling $6.9 million;
  • In June 2025 the Company received an early Berenguela property payment from Aftermath Silver Ltd. totaling $1.5 million;
  • The Company announced the sale of its Nordic operational platform to First Nordic Metals Corporation, a current partner of EMX and operator on multiple EMX royalty properties in Sweden and Finland. This strategic divestment included EMX’s infrastructure, exploration equipment and employees in the Nordic countries;
  • The Company executed an exploration alliance agreement in the country of Morocco with Avesoro Morocco Limited (“Avesoro”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Avesoro Holdings LTD, a privately owned, West Africa-focused mid-tier gold producer. In Morocco, EMX and Avesoro will work together to advance a portfolio of exploration projects that EMX has assembled and will 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; and
  • The Company commenced a new NCIB program during the quarter which allows for the repurchase and cancellation of 5,440,027 common shares over a 12-month period. We repurchased and cancelled 1,202,168 shares during the quarter for a total cost of $2.6 million. Subsequent to the end of the period, the Company repurchased 400,929 common shares under the new NCIB for a total cost of $1.2 million.

Outlook

Updated 2025 Guidance

Please see our “Forward-Looking Statements” below for more details on our guidance.

Updated 2025 Guidance[2]Original 2025 Guidance[3]
GEO sales[4]10,500 to 12,00010,000 to 12,000
Adjusted royalty revenue3$30,000,000 to $35,000,000$26,000,000 to $32,000,000
Option and other property income$1,000,000 to $2,000,000$1,000,000 to $2,000,000

Based on the Company’s existing royalties and information available from its counterparties, we now expect GEO sales3 to range from 10,500 to 12,000 GEOs and adjusted royalty revenue3 to range from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 in 2025. The noted increase in expected adjusted royalty revenue compared to the original guidance is due to the significant increases in metal prices to date in 2025.

Guidance is based on public forecasts, other disclosure by the owners and operators of our assets, historical performance and management’s understanding of the underlying producing assets. Additionally, the Company may receive information from the owners and operators of the properties, which the Company is not permitted to disclose to the public pursuant to the underlying agreement or the information has not been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, including National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).

Capital Management

For 2025, EMX continues to believe that capital management is critical to the success of the business and therefore maintain the following capital allocation goals for 2025:

  • Approximately 20% decrease in operating expenditures when compared to 2024, primarily resulting from a decrease in generative expenditures, weighted toward the second half of 2025;
  • Continued return of capital through our renewed Normal-Course Issuer Bid program in 2025;
  • Implementation of a measured and consistent debt repayment strategy; and
  • Evaluation of a potential revolving credit facility available to EMX to fund royalty acquisitions.

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.

AbraSilver Resource Corp. continues to advance Diablillos in Argentina, announced that it expects to complete its definitive feasibility study by Q1 2026 and make a construction decision in the second half of 2026 and released an updated MRE in Q2 2025.

At the Vittangi Graphite development project, an appeals review process was recently concluded for the issuance of an Exploitation Concession, a key step in the mine permitting process in Sweden. Talga Group now has all major permits in force for their Nunasvaara South Mine, which is part of Europe’s largest and highest grade JORC classified natural graphite resource. 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.

Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025

In Q2 2025, the Company recognized $8.7 million and $8.2 million in adjusted revenue and other income1 and adjusted royalty revenue[5], respectively, which represented a 1% decrease and a 5% increase, respectively, compared to Q2 2024. The noted decrease in GEOs compared to 2024 is due to EMX’s heavy exposure to copper-based assets, specifically, Caserones and Timok. With copper prices being relatively stable, a significant increase in gold prices will have a negative impact on the GEOs of a copper-based asset.

The following table is a summary of GEOs1 sold and adjusted royalty revenue1 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

In 2025, the Company recognized $20.1 million and $19.0 million in adjusted revenue and other income1 and adjusted royalty revenue1, respectively, which represented a 18% and 22% increase, respectively, compared to 2024. The increase is largely due to a $1.4 million increase in royalty revenue from Gediktepe and a $0.6 million increase in the Company’s share of royalty revenue from Caserones when compared to 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release may contain “forward looking information” or “forward looking statements” that reflect the Company’s current expectations and projections about its future results. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding the future price of copper, gold and other metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, the Company’s growth strategy and expectations regarding the guidance for 2025 and future outlook, including revenue and GEO estimates, anticipated reductions in operating expenditures, repayment of outstanding debt and the timing thereof, the acquisition of additional royalty and royalty generation interests and other investment opportunities, the purchase of securities pursuant to the Company’s NCIB, exploration and development plans at the Company’s royalty properties and the expected timing thereof or other statements that are not statements of fact. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “strategy,” “goals,” “objectives,” “potential,” “possible” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, conditions or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.

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 and July 1, 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 June 30, 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.

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 revenueThe 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 EBITDAEBITDA 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 capitalDefined as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital does not include assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for saleCurrent assets,
current liabilities
The Company believes that working capital is a useful indicator of the Company’s liquidity.

  • 0.5m interval with radioactivity between 346.5m and 347.0m, and
  • 0.5m interval with radioactivity between 354.0m and 354.5m, and
  • 27.5m interval with radioactivity between 360.5m and 388.0m, and
  • 6.0m interval with radioactivity between 394.0m and 400.0m, and
  • 2.5m interval with radioactivity between 407.0m and 409.5m.

Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:

“The substantial radioactive widths intersected in these drill holes were truly unexpected and highlight the significant potential we see at the Tetra Zone. Despite challenging drilling conditions and the non-traditional style of mineralization, each hole provides valuable insights into deposit model generation and drill plan adaptations. Notably, PLN25-217 confirms a theorized strike direction deviating from the current conductor model, and we will continue to explore this trend. To improve our conductor modeling around the Tetra Zone area, we are planning a ground geophysical program based on a tighter grid to support larger step-outs along the Tetra Zone, which stands to reduce the number of drill holes required for targeting. Additionally, we cored two drill holes at the JR Zone using casings set last winter with PLN25-215 and -216, which tested for crosscutting structures; those assays will be included in our maiden resource estimate, expected in Q4. We are very excited and look forward to further uncovering this unique system hosting the Tetra Zone.”

Handheld spectrometer composite parameters:
1: Minimum Thickness of 0.5m
2: CPS Cut-Off of 300 counts per second
3: Maximum Internal Dilution of 2.0m

The natural gamma radiation detected in the drill core, as detailed in this news release, was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 spectrometer which has been calibrated by Radiation Solutions Inc. The Company designates readings exceeding 300 cps on the handheld spectrometer (occasionally referred to as a scintillometer in industry parlance; this colloquial usage stems from historical naming conventions and the shared functionality of detecting gamma radiation between a spectrometer and a scintillometer)-as “anomalous”, readings above 10,000 cps as “highly radioactive”, and readings surpassing 65,535 cps as “off-scale”. However, readers are cautioned that spectrometer or scintillometer measurements often do not directly or consistently correlate with the uranium grades of the rock samples and should be regarded solely as a preliminary indicator of the presence of radioactive materials.

Samples from the drill core are split into half sections on site. Where possible, samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample is sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK while the other half remains on site for reference. Analysis includes a 63 element suite including boron by ICP-OES, uranium by ICP-MS and gold analysis by ICP-OES and/or AAS.

All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thicknesses are yet to be determined.

F3 – Increases Mineralized Strike Length of Tetra Zone System to 1.2km

Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 21, 2025) – F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) (“F3” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce that geochemistry results from re-logging and maiden geochemical analysis of historic holes on the Broach property have returned 423ppm uranium over 0.5m, 1.2km southeast along strike from the recently discovered Tetra Zone (See Figure 1 This development has significantly increased the prospective strike length of the mineralized corridor which hosts the Tetra Zone, where drilling is currently in progress.

The F3 team completed comprehensive re-logging of historic drillholes on the Broach property, including PAT-15-001, PAT-16-002 and PAT-16-004 (See Photo 1). Re-logs noted intense clay alteration and bleaching around the Athabasca Unconformity, including fracture-controlled silicification, particularly in PAT-16-002; these are features often found in proximity to uranium mineralization. Drill holes were re-sampled following F3’s internal sampling procedures and geochemical results are highlighted by drillhole PAT-16-002 which returned 423ppm uranium over 0.5m from 164.5 to 165.0m. PAT-16-002 is located 1.2km to the southeast of Tetra zone (See Figure 1.)

Hole PLN25-201, drilled earlier this year, which we interpret to have overshot the ground conductor, was collared approximately 300m to the northeast of PAT-16-002 and displays similar alteration including intense bleaching and alteration just below the unconformity.

Highlights of historic drill core analysis:

PAT-16-002:

  • 5.5m @ 63ppm U (160.0m to 165.5m), including:
  • 0.5m @ 423ppm U (164.5m to 165.0m)

Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:

“In 2016, a previous operator cored two drill holes targeting gravity anomalies approximately 1.2 km southeast of the Tetra Zone. One of these, PAT-16-002, was drilled 300 meters from our recent PLN25-201 hole, which was the first hole to target the ground conductor we defined last winter, and now host to the Tetra Zone. As no core samples from these historic holes were previously sent for analysis, F3 conducted geological re-logging and then maiden geochemical core sample analysis of the PAT-16-002 and PAT-16-004 cores. In PAT-16-002 we recognized strong clay alteration in the upper basement, with a 0.5-meter interval returning 423 ppm uranium—the highest uranium value recorded in any single exploration core sample from the PLN Project, outside of the JR and Tetra Zones. Only three other core samples across the project have approached this level, including one from PLN14-019 at 397 ppm, which sparked the 2022 exploration of the A1 conductor and lead to the discovery of the JR Zone, and two from PLN24-152, which intersected 0.014% U3O8 over 7 meters, including 0.051% U3O8 over 0.5 meters (see July 30, 2024, news release). The striking similarity in lithologies and alteration styles coupled with highly anomalous uranium values over a 1.2 km distance reinforces our belief of a potentially expansive mineralized system along strike from Tetra, significantly enhancing further discovery potential.”

EMX Sells its Moroccan Portfolio and Forms Exploration Alliance with Avesoro

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 8, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (“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:

  • Avesoro has made an execution payment to EMX of $650,000.
  • Avesoro will provide an initial pool of capital of at least $1.5 million/year to advance the alliance projects and to make new acquisitions within the country of Morocco. The initial term of the alliance will be two years.
  • Avesoro has agreed to provide the necessary funding to keep the projects in good standing during the term of the alliance.
  • At any time, Avesoro can elect to deem any of the projects a Designated Project (DP).
  • Any project that has not been converted to a DP by the end of the alliance term will be returned to EMX.

Designated project stage:

  • Avesoro will retain a 100% ownership in each of the DPs, with EMX retaining a 2% NSR royalty that is uncapped and cannot be repurchased or reduced.
  • Each DP will have a minimum $2,500,000 work commitment for the first five years and each DP will be funded from an independent pool of capital.
  • Commencing on the first anniversary of the nomination of the first DP, EMX will receive a $50,000 advance royalty payment, escalating by 15% per year until the advance royalty payment reaches $100,000.
  • EMX will also receive additional advance royalty payments for each subsequent project for which a positive feasibility study is delivered. These will begin at $50,000, escalating by 15% per year until the project reaches production or the advance royalty payment reaches $100,000.
  • EMX will also receive milestone payments of $500,000 for each project for which a feasibility study is delivered, and $1,000,000 for each project that reaches production.

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.

More information on the Projects can be found at www.EMXroyalty.com.

F3 – Hits 13.7% U3O8 Over 2.5m Within 5.5% Over 7.5m at JR

Engaged SLR for Mineral Resource Estimate

Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 16, 2025) – F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) (“F3” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce the final assay results of 2024 JR Zone drilling including drillhole PLN24-184 (See NR October 29, 2024) which returned 13.0m of 3.2% U3O8, including a high grade core with 2.5m of 13.7% U3O8. Exploration geochemical results are highlighted by PLN24-187 which targeted and intersected the A1 Extension 3.2km along strike from JR Zone, an interpreted continuation of the A1 Main Shear on the southeast side of the Harrison Fault and which intersected strongly elevated uranium values averaging 70ppm over 8.5m, with a peak of 244ppm at 549.0m.

Elevated uranium values of 111ppm U over 5.5m between 193.5 – 199.0m in PLN14-019 helped prioritize the A1 conductor which hosts the JR Zone. Continued anomalous intersects across the Harrison fault, A1 Extension and B1 areas highlight the complex geologic and structural setting which still hosts numerous high priority untested targets.

F3 is also pleased to announce the engagement of SLR International Corporation (“SLR”) to complete the maiden resource estimate for the Company. SLR brings deep familiarity with basement hosted uranium deposit modeling and resource estimation and is qualified to prepare a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Patterson Lake North Project, targeted for completion in Q4 2025.

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:

  • Avesoro has made an execution payment to EMX of $650,000.
  • Avesoro will provide an initial pool of capital of at least $1.5 million/year to advance the alliance projects and to make new acquisitions within the country of Morocco. The initial term of the alliance will be two years.
  • Avesoro has agreed to provide the necessary funding to keep the projects in good standing during the term of the alliance.
  • At any time, Avesoro can elect to deem any of the projects a Designated Project (DP).
  • Any project that has not been converted to a DP by the end of the alliance term will be returned to EMX.

Designated project stage:

  • Avesoro will retain a 100% ownership in each of the DPs, with EMX retaining a 2% NSR royalty that is uncapped and cannot be repurchased or reduced. 
  • Each DP will have a minimum $2,500,000 work commitment for the first five years and each DP will be funded from an independent pool of capital. 
  • Commencing on the first anniversary of the nomination of the first DP, EMX will receive a $50,000 advance royalty payment, escalating by 15% per year until the advance royalty payment reaches $100,000. 
  • EMX will also receive additional advance royalty payments for each subsequent project for which a positive feasibility study is delivered. These will begin at $50,000, escalating by 15% per year until the project reaches production or the advance royalty payment reaches $100,000.
  • EMX will also receive milestone payments of $500,000 for each project for which a feasibility study is delivered, and $1,000,000 for each project that reaches production.

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.

We structured the royalty to reflect our disciplined approach to capital allocation, and we expect to fund the investment using our existing cash and precious metal holdings. We are excited to support Milford Mining and look forward to closing the transaction in the near future.”

The closing and funding of the Royalty are subject to the execution of a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement“) between the Company and Milford. Certain key terms that have been agreed include:

  • The Royalty is a 5% royalty on the gross gold and silver ounces produced and sold from the Mine.

  • The Royalty will terminate when the payments made to Empress total US$12,000,000.
  • If certain minimum monthly gold and silver sales are not achieved by Milford Mining, Empress will receive a payment to top it up to the amount of the Royalty payments it would have received had these minimum sales levels been met.
