EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where indicated)
For the period ended March 31, 2023

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

EMX Royalty Corporation (the "Company" or "EMX"), together with its subsidiaries operates as a royalty and prospect generator engaged in the exploring for, and generating royalties from, metals and minerals properties. The Company's royalty and exploration portfolio mainly consists of properties in North America, Turkey, Europe, Australia, and Latin America. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"), and the NYSE American under the symbol of "EMX", and also trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "6E9". The Company's head office is located at 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and continue in operation for the following twelve months.

Some of the Company's activities for royalty generation are located in emerging nations and, consequently, may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to other developed countries. Operations, the status of mineral property rights and the recoverability of investments in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, legal, regulatory and political situations.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are presented in United States ("US") dollars, unless otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the parent company and its subsidiaries.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's most recent annual financial statements, except as described below, and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties

The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are consistent with those applied in the Company's December 31, 2022, audited consolidated financial statements.

Page 7

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

New Accounting Policies

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may issue share purchase warrants and conversion options on convertible debentures or as part of units that have an exercise price denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of the Company, thus causing them to be classified as derivative liabilities. These instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss through the application of an appropriate valuation model.

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company has reviewed these updates and determined that many of these updates are not applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from discussion within these significant accounting policies.

Functional and Presentation Currency

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries was reassessed as a result of a change in underlying transactions, events and conditions. As a result of this reassessment, the Company changed, to US dollar, the functional currency of all entities that were previously Canadian dollar functional currency as at December 31, 2022. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The change in functional currency was accounted for on a prospective basis, with no impact of this change on prior year comparative information.

Translation of transactions and balances

Effective December 31, 2022, the Company elected to change its presentation currency from the Canadian dollar (“CAD” or “C$”) to the US dollar. The change in presentation currency is to better reflect the Company’s business activities and to improve investors’ ability to compare the Company’s financial results with other publicly traded precious metals royalty and streaming companies. The Company has applied the change to US dollar presentation currency retrospectively and restated the comparative financial information as if the US dollar presentation currency had always been the Company’s presentation currency.

3. RESTRICTED CASH

At March 31, 2023, the Company classified $4,490 (December 31, 2021 - $1,474) as restricted cash. This amount is primarily comprised of $3,517 in cash held in trust to acquire an additional 2.263% ownership in SLM California SpA (Note 6). This remaining amount consists of $144 (December 31, 2022 - $144) held as collateral for its corporate credit cards and cash of $829 (December 31, 2022 - $1,330) held by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which the full amount is for use and credit to the Company's exploration venture partners in the USA, Sweden, Norway, and Finland pursuant to expenditure requirements for ongoing property agreements. Partner advances expected to be used within the following twelve months are included with current assets.

4. INVESTMENTS

At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had the following investments:

		March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022

Non-current portion	$	4,099		$	4,152

Page 8

The Company receives investments as proceeds related to various property agreements and therefore may sell its holdings to the market where appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company realized $776 (2022 - $522) in proceeds from sales of investments.

5. TRADE RECEIVABLES AND OTHER ASSETS

The Company's trade receivables and other assets are primarily related to royalty revenue receivable, deferred compensation and milestone payments, refundable taxes and VAT recoverable from government taxation authorities, recoveries of royalty generation costs from project partners, prepaid expenses and reclamation bonds.

As at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, trade receivables and other assets were as follows:

Category		March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022

Less: current portion		(12,506	)		(11,574	)
Non-current portion	$	12,690		$	12,522

Non-current trade receivables and other assets are comprised of VAT, the deferred payments from Aftermath Silver Ltd. ("Aftermath") and AbraSilver Resource Corp. ("AbraSilver") expected to be collected after 12 months, and reclamation bonds held as security towards future royalty generation work and the related future potential cost of reclamation of the Company's land and unproven mineral interests.

The following table summarizes the Company's deferred compensation as at March 31, 2023, and changes during the three months then ended:

		Aftermath			Abrasilver		Total
Balance as at December 31, 2022	$	6,963		$	5,253	$	12,216
Interest accretion		173			146		319
Balance as at March 31, 2023		7,136			5,399		12,535

Non-current portion	$	4,636		$	5,399	$	10,035

As at March 31, 2023, the Company has no material reclamation obligations. Once reclamation of the properties is complete, the bonds will be returned to the Company.

The carrying amounts of the Company's trade receivables and other assets are denominated in the following currencies:

Currency		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

6. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATED ENTITIES

Caserones

In August 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an effective 0.418% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty on the operating Caserones mine in northern Chile for $34,100 in cash. To purchase the Caserones Royalty and for purposes of distributing payments received from the royalty interest, the Company formed a 50%-50% partnership, Minera Tercero SpA ("Tercero"), with Elemental Royalties Corp. which is accounted for as a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements.

Tercero was used to purchase a 43% interest in Sociedad Legal Minera California Una de la Sierra Pena Negra ("SLM California") through a Share Purchase Agreement for $68,200. Separately, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP ("Sprott") (Note 12) to finance its portion of the purchase price. SLM California has a right to 67.5% of the 2.88% Caserones NSR royalty. SLM California's sole purpose is to administer the company, pay Chilean taxes and distribute its royalty proceeds to the shareholders, including Tercero. The 50% interest of the Company in Tercero provides EMX with the right to an effective 0.418% royalty interest.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company increased its effective NSR to 0.7335% by acquiring an additional 16.23% interest in SLM California for $25,742 through its wholly-owned subsidiary EMX Chile SpA. Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company acquired an additional 2.263% interest in SLM California for cash consideration of $3,517 increasing the Company's royalty interest in the Caserones property to 0.7775%.

The Company through its Tercero and EMX Chile combined interests does not control operational decisions and is eligible to appoint a director to serve on the Board of SLM California. The Company's judgment is that it has significant influence, but not control and accordingly equity accounting is appropriate.

Tummarized financial information for the Company’s investment in SLM California and reflecting adjustments made by the Company, including adjustments made at the time of acquisition is as follows:

		March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Current assets	$	13,055		$	9,187
Total liabilities		(7,858	)		(5,298	)
Net assets (liabilities)		5,197			3,889
The Company's ownership %		37.7%			37.7%
Acquisition fair value and other adjustments		56,245			56,722
Carrying amount of investment in associated entity	$	58,206		$	58,189

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a cumulative loss of $586 (2022 - $Nil) on the revaluation of derivative liabilities. The fair values of derivative liabilities were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions as follows:

	March 31, 2023	December 31, 2022
Risk free interest rate	3.49%	N/A
Expected life (years)	2.46	N/A
Expected volatility	43.8%	N/A
Dividend yield	0%	N/A

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in the number of warrants outstanding.

12. LOAN PAYABLE

Sprott Credit Facility

In August 2021, the Company entered into a credit facility with Sprott for $44,000 (the "Sprott Credit Facility") with a maturity date of July 31, 2022. The credit facility carries an annual interest rate of 7%, payable monthly and the Company is required to maintain $1,500 in funds held as a minimum cash balance under the agreement. The Sprott Credit Facility includes a general security agreement over select assets of EMX.

In January 2022, for a fee of 1.5% of the outstanding loan balance or $660 to be paid on maturity, the Company entered into an amended agreement to extend the term of the Sprott Credit Facility to December 31, 2024. As a result of the modification of the Sprott Facility, the Company applied the non-substantial modification treatment in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments by restating the liability to the present value of revised cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate, with an adjustment to profit or loss. The fee incurred as part of the modification payable to the lender is considered to be part of the gain or loss on modification. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, as a result of the modification, the Company recognized a gain on modification of $4,005 and a revised effective interest rate of 12.39%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized an interest expense of $1,241 (2022 - $1,217) on the loan which was calculated using the revised annual effective interest rate and was included in finance expenses and other.

16. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company considers items included in shareholders' equity as capital. The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

As at March 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $27,706 (December 31, 2022 - working capital of $31,562). The Company has continuing royalty income that will vary depending on royalty ounces received and the price of minerals. The Company also receives additional cash inflows from the recovery of expenditures from project partners, and investment income including dividends from investments in associated entities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company re-negotiated the payment terms of the Sprott Credit Facility (Note 12).

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through public and/or private placements, sell assets, renegotiate terms of debt, or return capital to shareholders.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements other than as disclosed in Note 12.

Page 19

16. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Fair Value

The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

a) Level 1: inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.

c) Level 3: inputs that are less observable, unobservable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments' fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, derivative liabilities (Note 11) were added to the fair value hierarchy levels. Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statement of financial position are summarized in levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Assets		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investments - shares	$	9,421	$	529	$	-	$	9,950
Investments - warrants		-		267		-		267
Total	$	9,421	$	796	$	-	$	10,217

Liabilities		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Deriviative liablities - warrants	$	-	$	1,872	$	-	$	1,872
Total	$	-	$	1,872	$	-	$	1,872

The carrying value of cash, restricted cash, current trade receivables and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from joint venture partners and loan payable, approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company holds warrants exercisable into common shares of public companies and has issued warrants exercisable into common shares of the Company. These warrants do not trade on an exchange and are restricted in their transfer. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using observable market information and thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash and trade receivables. This risk is minimized by holding a significant portion of the cash funds in Canadian banks. The Company's exposure with respect to its trade receivables is primarily related to royalties, recovery of royalty generation costs, and the sale of assets.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates on cash and restricted cash. Management believes the interest rate risk is low given the interest rate on the Sprott Credit Facility (Note 12) is fixed.

Page 20

16. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities and other company investments. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Based on the March 31, 2023, portfolio values, a 10% increase or decrease in effective market values would increase or decrease net shareholders' equity by approximately $1,022.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure the Company's expenditures will not exceed available resources.

Commodity Risk

The Company's royalty revenues are derived from a royalty interest and are based on the extraction and sale of precious and base minerals and metals. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals discovered. Metal prices have historically fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company's royalty interests cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices.

Currency Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The Company operates in North America, Europe, Turkey, Latin America and Australia. The Company funds cash calls to its subsidiary companies outside of Canada in US dollars and a portion of its expenditures are also incurred in local currencies.

The exposure of the Company's cash, restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from joint venture partners and loan payable to foreign exchange risk as at March 31, 2023, was as follows:

Accounts		Canadian Dollar $			Turkish Lira TRY
Cash and cash equivalents		3,356			33
Accounts receivable		123			66,835
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(339	)		(437	)
Derivative warrant liability		(2,471	)		-
Net exposure		609			66,431
US dollar equivalent	$	450		$	3,462

The balances noted above reflect the foreign currency balances held within the parent company and any wholly owned subsidiaries. Balances denominated in another currency other than the currencies above are considered immaterial. Based on the above net exposure as at March 31, 2023, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the US dollar against the foreign currencies above would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $391 in the Company's pre-tax profit or loss.
