Vox Royalty Reports 2020 Financial Results and Strong Growth from 10 to 50 Royalties

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, April 26, 2021 /CNW/ - Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX) ("Vox" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: "The Company's significant achievements in 2020 have paved the way for another strong year for Vox investors in 2021. Vox started 2020 with one producing royalty, adding three further producing royalties through acquisitions and is now expected to finish 2021 with over seven producing royalties. This growth in producing royalties is expected to increase our annual royalty revenues by approximately C$2 million from 2020 to 2021. Our 40 operating partners continue to actively progress our exploration and development royalties towards production, which will support Vox's growth into 2022 and beyond."
