Rhea-AI Summary
Vox Royalty (VOXR) agreed through its subsidiary Vox Royalty Australia to acquire a 2.0% net smelter return royalty over the White Dam gold mine in South Australia for A$5 million in upfront cash. Completion is subject to customary conditions precedent.
The royalty applies to gold and copper production from the White Dam tenements, is uncapped, carries no buy-back or step-down rights, and continues for the full life of the tenements, including successors. White Dam, operated by Broken Hill Gold, was recommissioned in 2026, following historical production of about 180,000 oz of gold from 2010–2018. The royalty covers roughly 400 km² of tenure, including an area with a July 2026 high-grade gold-copper sulphide discovery and a 25,000 m drilling program, and a JORC 2012 mineral resource of ~102,000 oz of contained gold across indicated and inferred categories.

White Dam Gold Project Highlights
Broken Hill Gold poured first gold at the Project in April 2026 and is ramping up the recommissioned heap-leach operation, initially by re-treating material on the historic heap-leach pad while advancing a broader mine restart with fresh ore in 2027. Broken Hill Gold is targeting 15,000oz - 20,000oz of annual production(1).
White Dam historically produced ~180,000oz of gold from heap leaching 7.5Mt of ore at 0.94 g/t Au from 2010 to 2018. Production was from two pits, Hannaford and Vertigo, with the White Dam North resource remaining unmined to date.
On July 31, 2026, Broken Hill Gold announced a A
$13 million financing to fund production ramp-up and a planned expansion, and advance near mine exploration following the July 2026 White Dam North high-grade gold and copper discovery, including an engineering study to expand the heap-leach pad base and add approximately 4Mt of additional leach capacity to support the mine restart(2).The Project hosts a JORC (2012) mineral resource estimate comprising indicated resources of 1.2 Mt @ 0.7 g/t Au for approximately 28,600 ounces of contained gold and inferred resources of 3.4 Mt @ 0.7 g/t Au for approximately 73,500 ounces of contained gold (August 2020 estimate)(3).
The Royalty covers ~400km2 prospective mining and exploration tenure in the Curnamona Province near Broken Hill, with a 25,000-metre reverse-circulation ("RC") drilling program underway and an updated Vertigo deposit model expected in Q3 2026(2).
White Dam North Discovery (July 2026)
On July 23, 2026, Broken Hill Gold announced a significant high-grade gold and copper sulphide discovery at White Dam North, where RC drilling beneath the shallow oxide gold resource intersected sulphide mineralisation coincident with a magnetic anomaly that extends up to approximately 1 km along strike and remains open in all directions(4).
Significant assayed intercepts include:
WNRC006 - 20m @ 2.5 g/t Au and
0.5% Cu from 58m (including 3m @ 12.5 g/t Au and1.8% Cu from 68m);WNRC010 - 10m @ 3.4 g/t Au and
0.7% Cu from 54m (including 5m @ 5.0 g/t Au and1.0% Cu from 56m); andWNRC009 - 6m @ 0.8 g/t Au and
0.5% Cu from 45m.
The discovery highlights the copper potential of the tenements covered by the Royalty, which applies to both gold and copper. White Dam has historically produced copper concentrate in 2020 and 2021, having operated a SART (sulphidisation-acidification-recycling-thickening) copper-recovery plant as part of its gold-copper processing circuit.
Royalty Summary
The Royalty covers the mineral tenements that host the Project: ML 6275, ML 6395, MPL 95, MPL 105, MPL 106, MPL 107, MPL 139, EL 6435, and EL 6565 (collectively, the "White Dam Tenements").

Cautionary Statements to U.S. Securityholders
This press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ from the previous and current standards of the U.S. securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources,", "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced herein and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). In addition to NI 43-101, a number of resource and reserve estimates have been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (as such term is defined in NI 43-101), which differ from the requirements of NI 43-101 and U.S. securities laws but is defined in NI 43-101 as an "acceptable foreign code". Readers are cautioned that a qualified person has not carried out independent work to validate the JORC Code resource and reserve estimates referenced herein.
For U.S. reporting purposes, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which became effective February 25, 2019. The SEC Modernization Rules more closely align the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Issuers were required to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained or incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies domiciled in the U.S. subject to U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards that are required under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of the mineralization in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves without further work and analysis. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable without further work and analysis. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to a higher category without further work and analysis. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules or under the prior standards of SEC Industry Guide 7.
