TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2023 / Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX:VOXR)(NASDAQ:VOXR) ("Vox" or the "Company"), a returns focused mining royalty company, is pleased to announce that it has realized preliminary revenue(1) of $2,217,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 (compared to $1,750,000 for the comparable period in 2022).
Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: "I am pleased to announce our preliminary second quarter revenue, an increase of 25% over the prior year period, which is in line with expectations and supports our annual revenue guidance given on April 27,2023. Complementing the organic growth of the portfolio is the potential acquisition of additional royalties (as noted below) in Australia which continues to position Vox well for sustained growth in all key metrics."
Q2 2023 Preliminary Revenue
Quarterly revenue of $2,217,000 was largely driven by royalty revenue from the Company's Wonmunna iron ore royalty in Australia, as well as its Janet Ivy and Segilola gold royalties in Australia and Nigeria, respectively. These preliminary results should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, as and when released.
Corporate Update
On July 28, 2023, Vox entered into a royalty sale and purchase agreement (the "RSPA") with an Australian company to acquire a portfolio of development and exploration-stage royalties located in Australia (the "Portfolio"). A number of the royalties are subject to a right of first refusal, a right of first offer or a consent to assignment right (together, the "Rights") in connection with a proposed assignment thereof, and therefore it is not yet certain how many royalties the Company will acquire at closing, if any. The aggregate purchase price for the portfolio consists of cash and non-cash consideration, cash consideration being (i) up to A$8,000,000 payable at closing, subject to reduction if any of the Rights are exercised, and non-cash consideration being (ii) providing ongoing royalty-related services to the vendor from Vox's proprietary database of royalties. The Company expects closing of the transaction to occur later in Q3 2023 and will fund the acquisition of the Portfolio with cash on hand.
