07.08.2024  |  Accesswire

TORONTO, August 7, 2024 - Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX:VOXR)(NASDAQ:VOXR) ("Vox" or the "Company"), a returns focused mining royalty company, is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We're pleased to share another strong quarter of financial results, which included a 15% quarterly increase in gross profit and a 28% decrease in general and administration expenditures compared to Q2 2023. We also continued to accretively build the portfolio with the completion of another Australian royalty portfolio acquisition. During the quarter, we noted significant pre-production developments in our royalty portfolio that are expected to contribute to near-term revenues, including commencement of ore mining at Bulong/Myhree announced on 29 July. The quarter also saw record ore shipments, with Mineral Resources Ltd. achieving record quarterly loadout rates at Port Hedland in Western Australia, with Pilbara Hub shipments increasing 22% quarter on quarter, comprised of ore from our Wonmunna royalty asset and the Iron Valley mine (not royalty linked).

The Vox portfolio of royalties, with its weighting towards Australia, has the Company well positioned to realize sustained organic growth, alongside a robust pipeline of new opportunities. Further, there has been a concerted focus in strengthening the team and board, systems, and processes, in conjunction with lowering costs company wide. I am excited by our progress in these areas, which is expected to provide burgeoning operating leverage in the quarters and years ahead."
