Indicated mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with a level of sufficient confidence to allow the application of Modifying Factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and test information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.
Inferred mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as that part of a mineral resource for which the quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply, but not verified, geological and grade or quality continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.
JORC Code: means the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia.

Leach: to dissolve minerals or metals out of rock with chemicals.
Measured mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.
Meta: a prefix that, when used with the name of a sedimentary or igneous rock, indicates that the rock has been metamorphosed.
Metamorphic rock: rock which has been changed from igneous or sedimentary rock through heat and pressure into a new form of rock.
Mineral reserve: is defined in NI 43-101 as the economically mineable part of a measured and/or indicated mineral resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level, as appropriate that includes application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could be reasonably justified.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
Mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as a concentration or occurrence of solid material in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.
Modifying Factors is defined in the CIM Definition Standards as considerations used to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.
Monzogranite: felsic, coarse-grained, intrusive igneous rock with subequal amounts of plagioclase and potassium feldspar.
Net smelter return royalty or NSR royalty: a type of royalty based on a percentage of the proceeds, net of smelting, refining and transportation costs and penalties, from the sale of metals extracted from concentrate and doré by the smelter or refinery.

Oxide: a compound of ore that has been subjected to weathering and alteration as a result of exposure to oxygen for a long period of time.
PERC Code: means the Pan-European Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Reserves prepared by the Pan-European Reserves and Resources Reporting Committee.
Phyllic alteration: Hydrothermal alteration often associated with porphyry systems which is characterized by sericite, quartz, and pyrite.
Porphyry: igneous rock consisting of large-grained crystals dispersed in a fine-grained matrix or ground mass.
Potassic alteration: Hydrothermal alteration often associated with porphyry systems which is characterized by potassium feldspar and secondary biotite.
Preliminary feasibility study or pre-feasibility study is defined in the CIM Definition Standards as a comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined. It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the Modifying Factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors which are sufficient for a qualified person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the mineral resource may be converted to a mineral reserve at the time of reporting. Such a study is at a lower confidence level than a feasibility study.
Probable mineral reserve: is defined in NI 43-101 as the economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource. The confidence in the Modifying Factors applying to a probable mineral reserve is lower than that applying to a proven mineral reserve. Probable mineral reserve estimates must be demonstrated to be economic, at the time of reporting, by at least a preliminary feasibility study.
Proven mineral reserve: is defined in NI 43-101 as the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource. A proven mineral reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors. Proven mineral reserve estimates must be demonstrated to be economic, at the time of reporting, by at least a preliminary feasibility study.
Pyroclastic: pertaining to clastic rock material formed by volcanic explosion or aerial expulsion from a volcanic vent; also, pertaining to rock texture of explosive origin.
Rhyodacite: fine-grained, extrusive igneous rock that is intermediate in composition between rhyolite and dacite; the extrusive equivalent to granodiorite.
Schist: a strongly foliated crystalline metamorphic rock, which readily splits into sheets or slabs as a result of the planar alignment of the constituent crystals. The constituent minerals are commonly specified (e.g. “quartz-muscovite-chlorite schist”).

Cautionary Notes Regarding Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates
This AIF has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates included in this AIF have been disclosed by the Company in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards based on information prepared by the current or previous owners or operators of the relevant properties (as and to the extent indicated by them). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.
Historical Estimates. An historical estimate is defined by NI 43-101 as “an estimate of the quantity, grade, or metal or mineral content of a deposit that an issuer has not verified as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve, and which was prepared before the issuer acquiring, or entering into an agreement to acquire, an interest in the property that contains the deposit”. NI 43-101 permits disclosure of an historical estimate that does not comply with NI 43-101 using the historical terminology if, among other things, the disclosure: (a) identifies the source and date of the historical estimate; (b) comments on the relevance and reliability of the historical estimate; (c) states whether the historical estimate uses categories other than those prescribed by NI 43-101; and (d) includes any more recent estimates or data available.
Mineral Resource and Reserve Disclosures According to an Acceptable Foreign Code. Under NI 43-101, “Acceptable Foreign Code” means the JORC Code, the PERC Code, the SAMREC Code, SEC Industry Guide 7 (now Regulation S-K 1300 as defined below), the Certification Code, or any other code, generally accepted in a foreign jurisdiction, that defines mineral resources and mineral reserves in a manner that is consistent with mineral resource and mineral reserve definitions and categories set out in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101..
NI 43-101 permits an issuer to make disclosure and file a technical report that uses mineral resource and mineral reserve categories of an Acceptable Foreign Code in certain circumstances, if the issuer includes in the technical report a reconciliation of any material differences between the mineral resource and mineral reserve categories used and the categories set out in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101.
As such, in addition to NI 43-101, certain estimates referenced in this AIF have been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code or the PERC Code (as such terms are defined in NI 43-101), which differ from the requirements of NI 43-101 and U.S. securities laws. Accordingly, information containing descriptions of the Company's mineral properties may not be comparable to similar information made public by Canadian or U.S. reporting companies. For more information, see “Reconciliation to CIM Definitions” below.
Reconciliation to CIM Definitions. In this AIF, EMX has disclosed current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates as well as certain historical estimates covering royalty properties that are not based on CIM Definition Standards, but are based on Acceptable Foreign Code or in reliance on the “historical estimates” provisions of NI 43-101. In each case, the estimates reported in this AIF are based on estimates disclosed by the relevant property owner or operator, without reference to the underlying data used to calculate the estimates. Accordingly, EMX is not able to definitively reconcile these estimates with that of CIM Definition Standards.
However, with respect to the Acceptable Foreign Codes used in this AIF, EMX believes that while the CIM Definition Standards are not identical to those of the JORC Code or the PERC Code, the mineral resource and mineral reserve definitions and categories are substantively the same as the CIM definitions mandated in NI 43-101 and will typically result in reporting of substantially similar mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates.
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
13

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
With respect to the “historical estimates”, the prescribed disclosure is included in this AIF in the relevant property descriptions or in Appendix “B”, as applicable.
With respect to United States investors, there are two important provisos to this assertion, being (i) SEC Industry Guide 7, which has been replaced by Regulation S-K 1300 effective as of January 1, 2021, prohibited the reporting of mineral resources, and only permitted reporting of mineral reserves, and (ii) it is now generally accepted practice that the SEC expects to see metals prices based on historical three year average prices, while each of CIM and the other JORC Code or the PERC Code permits the author of a mineral resource or mineral reserve estimate to use his or her discretion to establish reasonable assumed metal prices.
Technical and Third-Party Information
Except where otherwise stated herein, the disclosure in this AIF relating to properties and operations on the properties in respect of which EMX holds royalty or other similar interests, including under the headings “General Development of the Business”, “Mineral Properties“, “Technical Information“, Appendix A and Appendix B is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of these properties and other information and data available in the public domain as at December 31, 2023 (except where stated otherwise) and none of this information has been independently verified EMX.
As a royalty holder, EMX frequently has limited, if any, access to properties included in its royalty asset portfolio. Additionally, EMX may from time to time receive information from the owners and operators of the properties, which the Company is not permitted to disclose to the public. EMX is dependent on operators of the properties and their qualified persons for information, or on publicly available information, to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties for which EMX holds royalty interests. EMX generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although EMX does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third party information is complete or accurate.
The assumptions and methodologies underpinning estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves on a property, and the classification of mineralization in categories of measured, indicated and inferred and proven and probable within the estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves, respectively, and the assumptions and methodologies employed in proposed mining and recovery processes and production plans, were made by owners or operators and their qualified persons. EMX generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. EMX has not verified, and is not in a position to verify, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such third-party information and refers the reader to the public reports filed by the operators for information regarding the properties in which EMX holds a royalty or similar interest. Although EMX does not believe that such information is inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing stated in this paragraph operates to relieve the Company from liability for any misrepresentation contained in this AIF under applicable Canadian securities laws.
Some information publicly reported by operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by EMX’s royalty or other similar interest. EMX’s royalty or other similar interests in certain cases cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, mineral resources and production of a property.

Cautionary Notes to United States Investors
Regulation S-K 1300 Replacement of SEC Industry Guide 7. Mining disclosure under U.S. securities law was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The SEC has adopted final rules, effective February 25, 2019, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act (“Regulation S-K 1300”). As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the Regulation S-K 1300 and instead provides disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards.

Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained in this AIF and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. reporting companies.
Under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC 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 international standards. Readers are cautioned that despite efforts to harmonize U.S. mining disclosure rules with NI 43-101 and other international requirements, there are differences between the terms and definitions used in Regulation S-K 1300 and mining terms defined in the CIM Definition Standards, which definitions have been adopted by NI 43-101, and there is no assurance that any mineral reserves or mineral resources that an owner or operator 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 owner or operator prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards of Regulation S-K 1300.
Inferred Mineral Resources. U.S. investors are cautioned that “inferred mineral resources” have a lower level of confidence than that applying to “indicated mineral resources” and cannot be directly converted to a “mineral reserve”. Qualified persons have determined that it is reasonably expected that the majority of the reported “inferred mineral resources” could be upgraded to “indicated mineral resources” with continued exploration. Under Canadian rules, “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” exists or is economically or legally mineable.

Description of the Business
Overview
EMX Royalty Corporation is in the business of organically generating royalties derived from a portfolio of mineral property interests. The Company augments royalty generation with royalty acquisitions and strategic investments. EMX's royalty and mineral property portfolio consists of 282 properties in North America, Europe, Türkiye, Latin America, Morocco and Australia. The Company's portfolio is comprised of the following:
Producing Royalties6
Advanced Royalties11
Exploration Royalties149
Royalty Generation Properties116
Strategy
EMX's strategy is to provide our shareholders and other stakeholders exposure to exploration success and commodity upside through successful implementation of our royalty business. The Company believes in having a strong, balanced exposure to precious and base metals with an emphasis on gold and copper. The three key components of the Company's business strategy are summarized as:
Royalty Generation and Project Evaluation. EMX's 20-year track record of successful exploration initiatives has developed into an avenue to organically generate mineral property royalty interests. The strategy is to leverage in-country geologic expertise to acquire prospective properties on open ground, and to build value through low-cost work programs and targeting. These properties are sold or optioned to partner companies for retained royalty interests, advance minimum royalty ("AMR") payments and annual advance royalty ("AAR") payments, project milestone payments, and other consideration that may include equity interests. Pre-production payments provide early-stage cash flows to EMX, while the operating companies build value through exploration and development. EMX participates in project upside optionality at no additional cost, with the potential for future royalty payments upon the commencement of production.
Royalty Acquisition. The purchase of royalty interests allows EMX to acquire assets that range from producing mines to development projects. In conjunction with the acquisition of producing and pre-production royalties in the base metals, precious metals, and battery metals sectors, the Company will also consider other cash flowing royalty acquisition opportunities including the energy sector.

Strategic Investment. An important complement to EMX's royalty generation and royalty acquisition initiatives comes primarily from strategic equity investments in companies with what EMX considers to be under-valued mineral assets that have upside exploration or development potential. Exit strategies can include equity sales, royalty positions, or a combination of both.
EMX has a combination of producing royalties, advanced royalty projects and early-stage exploration royalty properties providing shareholder's exposure to immediate cash flow, near-term development of mines, and long-term exposure to class leading discoveries. Unlike other royalty companies, EMX has focused a significant portion of its expertise and capital toward organically generating royalties. We believe putting people on the ground generating ideas and partnering with major and junior companies is where EMX can generate the highest return for our shareholders. This diversified approach towards the royalty business provides a foundation for supporting EMX's growth and increasing shareholder value over the long term.
Specialized Skill and Knowledge
All aspects of EMX's business require specialized skills and knowledge. Such skills and knowledge include the areas of geology, finance, accounting and law.
Competitive Conditions
Competition in the mineral exploration and royalty industry is intense. EMX competes with other companies, many of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition and exploration of royalty and mineral property interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and consultants.
Raw Materials (Components)
Other than water and electrical or mechanical power - all of which are readily available on or near its properties - EMX does not require any raw materials with which to carry out its business.
Intangible Property
EMX does not have any need for nor does it use any brand names, circulation lists, patents, copyrights, trademarks, franchises, licenses, software (other than commercially available software), subscription lists or other intellectual property in its business.
Business Cycle & Seasonality
EMX's business model is diversified in order to address impacts from commodity prices and business cycles, however, its business is not seasonal.
Economic Dependence
EMX's business is not substantially dependent on any contract such as a contract to sell the major part of its products or services or to purchase the major part of its requirements for goods, services or raw materials, or on any franchise or license or other agreement to use a patent, formula, trade secret, process or trade name upon which its business depends.
Renegotiation or Termination of Contracts
It is not expected that EMX's business will be affected in the current financial year by the renegotiation or termination of contracts or sub-contracts.
Environmental Protection
All phases of EMX's exploration are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates.
Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which requires stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. While manageable, EMX expects this evolution (which affects most mineral exploration and royalty companies) might result in increased costs. Although EMX does not operate any mining assets, we believe we can make a positive impact by investing in streams and royalties on mines and projects where we believe environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) is well managed by our counterparties. ESG is a key filter and gating item,
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
18

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
and EMX's investment due diligence process includes an extensive assessment of counterparties’ ESG and health and safety management practices and local stakeholder engagement in addition to a review of geology, exploration, mineral reserve and mineral resource modelling, mine design and scheduling, geotechnics, mineral processing, tailings, permitting and legal, regulatory, tax and financial considerations.
Employees
At its financial year ended December 31, 2023, EMX had 46 employees and consultants working at various locations throughout the world.
Foreign Operations
EMX's mineral property interests are located in the North America, Fennoscandia, Australia, and Latin America, as well as in areas traditionally considered to be risky from a political or economic perspective, including Serbia, Türkiye, and Haiti. See “Risks and Uncertainties – Foreign Countries and Political Risks”
Those operations are subject to regulation (and changes thereto) in those jurisdictions with respect to land tenure, productions, export controls, taxation, environmental legislation, land and water use, local indigenous peoples’ interests, mine safety and expropriation of property. Although EMX, as a royalty interest holder, is not responsible for ensuring compliance with these laws and regulations, failure by the operators to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits could result in injunctive action, orders to suspend or cease operations, damages and civil and criminal penalties on the operators, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the results of the operations and financial condition of EMX.
Bankruptcy Reorganizations
There has not been any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings against EMX within the three most recently completed financial years or the current financial year.
Material Reorganizations
Except as disclosed under the heading “General Development of the Business – Three Year History”, there has not been any material reorganization of EMX or its subsidiaries within the three most recently completed financial years or the current financial year.
Social or Environmental Policies
EMX has implemented various social policies that are fundamental to its operations, such as policies regarding its relationship with the communities where the Company operates.
EMX is committed to the implementation of a comprehensive Health, Safety, Environment, Labor and Community Policy and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy (the “Policies”). EMX ensures these Policies are made known to all its managers, staff, contractors and exploration and joint venture partners, and that the requirements contained therein are adequately planned, resourced implemented and monitored wherever EMX is actively managing the project and where EMX has obtained a formal commitment from its exploration and joint venture partners to adopt the same Policies.
Environmental Policy
The Company believes that good environmental management at every project it manages, whether in the exploration phase, feasibility stage, project construction or mine site operation, requires proactive health and safety procedures, transparent interaction with local communities and implementation of prudent expenditures and business performance standards that constitutes the foundation for successful exploration and subsequent development if the results warrant it.
EMX will develop and implement appropriate standard operating procedures for different stages of its ground technical surveys, prospecting and evaluation and development work which procedures will be designed to meet all applicable environmental requirements and best environmental practices in the mineral exploration industry.

Community Relations, Communication and Notification Policy
Proactive interaction with the stakeholders on whom the Company's exploration and development programs may impact is considered an important part of the long-term investment that the Company is planning in its exploration programs in North America, Türkiye, Europe, Haiti, Australia, and Latin America.
EMX recognizes that from the inception of exploration activities or a new field work program, and as the exploration project progresses towards development, it will be important to:
communicate and proactively engage with all local communities and other stakeholders that may be affected by its exploration programs;
inform and obtain a consensus with the full range of stakeholders that may be impacted upon by exploration, evaluation and development; and
identify any vulnerable or marginalized groups within the affected communities (e.g., women, elders or handicapped) and ensure they are also reached by above information disclosure and consultation activities.
In these respects, EMX will work actively and transparently with governmental authorities, other elected parties, non-governmental organizations, and the communities themselves to ensure that the communities are aware of the activities of the Company, and that the impact and benefits of such activities are a benefit to the communities.
When detailed or advanced exploration activities, including drilling, evaluation and other such programs, are implemented, the Company will endeavor to identify how the impacts of such work on communities can best be managed, and how benefits can best be provided to communities through its activities. This will be undertaken in consultation with the affected communities.
Labour, Health and Safety Policy
The health and safety of its employees, contractors, affected communities and any other role players that may participate and be affected by the activities of EMX are crucial to the long-term success of the Company.
The Company will establish and maintain a constructive work-management relationship, promote the fair treatment, non-discrimination, and equal opportunity of workers in accordance with Performance Standards 2, Labor and Working Conditions of the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group.
Every effort will be made through training, regular reviews and briefings, and other procedures to ensure that best practice labour, health and safety and good international industry practices are implemented and maintained by EMX, including prompt and in-depth accident and incident investigation and the implementation of the conclusions thereof. The Company will take measures to prevent any child labour or forced labour.
The Company's aim is at all times to achieve zero lost-time injuries and fatalities.
Development Stage Environmental and Social Management Policy
EMX will communicate and consult with local communities and stakeholders with a view to fostering mutual understanding and shared benefits through the promotion and maintenance of open and constructive dialogue and working relationships.
Risks and Uncertainties
Investment in the Common Shares involves a significant degree of risk and should be considered speculative due to the nature of EMX's business and the present stage of its development. Prospective investors should carefully review the following factors together with other information contained in this AIF before making an investment decision.
Going Concern Risks
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,270,000 (December 31, 2022 - working capital of $31,562,000). As such, the consolidated financial statements of the Company contain a note that indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate profitable earnings, receive continued financial

20

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
support from strategic shareholders, complete additional financing and/or refinance its existing debt. While the Company expects to continue to successfully execute its financing plans, including raising funds through the issuance of equity and/or obtaining new debt or refinancing the existing senior secured credit facility, there can be no assurances that future equity financing, debt or debt refinancing alternatives will be available on acceptable terms to the Company or at all. Failure to generate profitable earnings or obtain such additional financing could result in the Company becoming unable to carry out its business objectives, and cast doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in other than the normal course of business may be at amount materially different than the Company’s estimates.
Mineral Property Exploration Risks
The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines. Certain operating risks include ensuring ownership of and access to mineral properties by confirmation that royalty agreements, option agreements, claims and leases are in good standing and obtaining permits for exploration activities, mine development, and mining operations.
The properties on which the Company holds a royalty or other interest are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of metals, including weather related events, unusual and unexpected geology formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, pit-wall failures, tailings dam breaches or failures, flooding, environmental hazards and the discharge of toxic chemicals, explosions and other conditions involved in the drilling, blasting, storage and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to property, injury or loss of life, environmental damage, work stoppages, delays in production, increased production costs and possible legal liability. Milling operations, waste rock dumps and tailings impoundments are subject to hazards such as equipment failure, or breaches in or the failure of retaining dams around tailings disposal areas and may be subject to ground movements or deteriorating ground conditions, or extraordinary weather events that may result in structure instability, or impoundment overflow, requiring that deposition activities be suspended. The tailings storage facility infrastructure, including pipelines, pumps, liners, etc. may fail or rupture. Should any of these risks or hazards affect a property on which the Company has a royalty or other interest, it may (i) result in an environmental release or environmental pollution and liability; (ii) cause the cost of development or production to increase to a point where it would no longer be economic to produce, (iii) result in a write down or write-off of the carrying value of one or more projects, (iv) cause extended interruption to the business, including delays or stoppage of mining or processing, (v) result in the destruction of properties, processing facilities or third party facilities necessary to the operations, (vi) cause personal injury or death and related legal liability, (vii) result in regulatory fines and penalties, revocation or suspension of permits or licenses; or (viii) result in the loss of insurance coverage. The occurrence of any of above-mentioned risks or hazards could result in an interruption or suspension of operation of the Mining Operations and have a material adverse effect on the Company and the trading price of the Company's securities as well as the Company's reputation.
The exploration for, development, mining and processing of mineral deposits involves significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenditures may be required to locate and establish mineral reserves to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the exploration or development programs planned by the owners or operators will result in profitable commercial mining operations. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: cash costs associated with extraction and processing, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices which are highly cyclical; government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection; and political stability. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, and the combination of these factors may result in one or more of the properties not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. Accordingly, there can be no assurance the properties on which the Company has a royalty or other interest which are not currently in production will be brought into a state of commercial production.
Conditions to be Satisfied Under Certain Agreements
EMX is currently earning an interest in some of its properties through option agreements and acquisition of title to the properties is only completed when the option conditions have been met. These conditions generally include making property payments, incurring exploration expenditures on the properties and can include the satisfactory completion of pre-feasibility or other studies. If the Company does not satisfactorily complete these option conditions in the time frame laid out in the option
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
21

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
agreements, the Company's title to the related property will not vest and the Company will have to write-off any previously capitalized costs related to that property.
Markets
The market prices for precious, base, and other metals can be volatile and there is no assurance that a profitable market will exist for a production decision to be made or for the ultimate sale of the metals even if commercial quantities of precious and other metals are discovered or are being mined, respectively.
No Control over Mining Operations
The Company is not directly involved in the ownership or operation of mines and has no contractual rights relating to the operation or development of any property on which it has a royalty or other interest. The operation of the properties in which EMX holds an interest is generally determined by third-party property owners and operators, and EMX has no or limited decision-making power as to how these properties are operated, and the operators’ failure to perform could affect revenue generated by EMX.
The Company will not be entitled to any material compensation if any of the operations do not meet their forecasted gold or other production targets in any specified period or if the operations shut down or discontinue their operations on a temporary or permanent basis. The properties may not commence commercial production within the time frames anticipated, if at all, or they may not meet ramp-up targets or complete expansion plans, and there can be no assurance that the gold or other production from such operations will ultimately meet forecasts or targets. At any time, any of the operators of the mining operations or their successors may decide to suspend or discontinue operations or may sell or relinquish operations, which may result in royalties or other monies not being paid or obligated to be paid to the Company.
The Company is subject to the risk that the any property or operation may shut down on a temporary or permanent basis due to issues including but not limited to economic conditions, lack of financial capital, flooding, fire, weather related events, mechanical malfunctions, community or social related issues, social unrest, the failure to receive permits or having existing permits revoked, collapse of mining infrastructure including tailings ponds, nationalization or expropriation of property and other risks. These issues are common in the mining industry and can occur frequently. There is a risk that the carrying values of the Company's assets may not be recoverable if the mining companies operating the counterparty cannot raise additional finances to continue to develop those assets. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, and the combination of these factors may result in the property or operation becoming uneconomic resulting in their shutdown and closure.
Reliance on Third Party Reporting
The Company relies on public disclosure and other information regarding the properties or operations it receives from the owners, operators and independent experts of such properties or operations, and certain of such information is included in this document. Such information is necessarily imprecise because it depends upon the judgment of the individuals who operate the properties or operations as well as those who review and assess the geological and engineering information. In addition, the Company must rely on the accuracy and timeliness of the public disclosure and other information it receives from the owners and operators of the properties or operations, and uses such information in its analyses, forecasts and assessments relating to its own business and to prepare its disclosure with respect to the royalties. If the information provided by such third parties to the Company contains material inaccuracies or omissions, the Company's disclosure may be inaccurate and its ability to accurately forecast or achieve its stated objectives may be materially impaired, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, some royalties or other interests may be subject to confidentiality arrangements which govern the disclosure of information with regard to the applicable interest and, as such, the Company may not be in a position to publicly disclose non-public information with respect to certain royalties or other interests. The limited access to data and disclosure regarding the operations of the properties in which EMX has an interest, may restrict the Company’s ability to enhance its performance which may result in a material and adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations and financial

22

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
condition. Although EMX attempts to obtain these rights when entering into new agreement, or amending existing agreements, there is no assurance that EMX’s efforts will be successful.
Unknown Defects or Impairments in EMX's Royalty or Other Interests
Unknown defects in or disputes relating to the royalty and other interests EMX holds or acquires, including defects in the chain or title to any of the properties underlying EMX’s royalty or other interests, may prevent EMX from realizing the anticipated benefits from its royalty and other interests and could have a material adverse effect on EMX's business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. It is also possible that material changes could occur that may adversely affect management's estimate of the carrying value of EMX's royalty and other interests and could result in impairment charges. While EMX seeks to confirm the existence, validity, enforceability, terms and geographic extent of the royalty and other interests EMX acquires, and the title of any properties underlying EMX’s royalty and other interests, there can be no assurance that disputes over these and other matters will not arise. Confirming these matters, as well as the title to a mining property on which EMX holds or seeks to acquire a royalty or other interest, is a complex matter, and is subject to the application of the laws of each jurisdiction, to the particular circumstances of each parcel of a mining property and to the documents reflecting the royalty or other interest. To the extent an owner or operator does not have title to the property underlying any of EMX’s royalty and other interests, it may be required to cease operations or transfer operational control to another party.
Similarly, royalty and other interests in many jurisdictions are contractual in nature, rather than interests in land, and therefore may be subject to change of control, bankruptcy or the insolvency of operators. EMX often does not have the protection of security interests over property that EMX could liquidate to recover all or part of EMX's investment in a royalty or other interest. Further, even in those jurisdictions where there is a right to record or register royalties or other interests held by EMX in land registries or mining recorders offices, such registrations may not necessarily provide any protection to the holder of such interests. Even if EMX retains its royalty and other interests in a mining project after any change of control, bankruptcy or insolvency of the operator, the project may end up under the control of a new operator, who may or may not operate the project in a similar manner to the current operator, which may negatively impact EMX. As a result, known title defects as well as unforeseen and unknown title defects may impact operations at a project in which EMX has a royalty or other interest and may result in a material and adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of EMX’s securities.
Operators' Interpretation of EMX's Royalty and Other Interests; Unfulfilled Contractual Obligations
EMX's royalty and other interests generally are subject to uncertainties and complexities arising from the application of contract and property laws in the jurisdictions where the mining projects are located. Operators and other parties to the agreements governing EMX's royalty and other interests may interpret EMX's interests in a manner adverse to the Company or otherwise may not abide by their contractual obligations, and EMX could be forced to take legal action to enforce its contractual rights. EMX may not be successful in enforcing its contractual rights, and EMX's revenues relating to any challenged royalty or other interests may be delayed, curtailed or eliminated during any such dispute or if EMX's position is not upheld, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Disputes could arise challenging, among other things:
the existence or geographic extent of the royalty or other interest;
methods for calculating the royalty or other interest, including whether certain operator costs may properly be deducted from gross proceeds when calculating royalties determined on a net basis;
third party claims to the same royalty interest or to the property on which EMX has a royalty or other interest;
various rights of the operator or third parties in or to the royalty or other interest;
production and other thresholds and caps applicable to payments of royalty or other interests;
the obligation of an operator to make payments on royalty and other interests; and
various defects or ambiguities in the agreement governing a royalty and other interest.
Rights of Other Interest Holders
Some royalty other interests are subject to: (i) buy-down right provisions pursuant to which an operator may buy-back all or a portion of the royalty or other interest, (ii) pre-emptive rights pursuant to which parties to operating and royalty agreements have the right of first refusal or first offer with respect to a proposed sale or assignment of such interest by or to EMX, (iii) claw-

23

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
back rights pursuant to which the seller of a royalty or other interest to EMX has the right to re-acquire the royalty or other interest, or (iv) a right to dispose of property interests which are subject to the royalty or other interest, for a return to EMX, if any, which may be lower than EMX’s assumptions regarding the asset. Holders may exercise these rights such that certain royalty, stream interests and working or other interests would no longer be held by EMX.
Revenue and Royalty Risks
EMX cannot accurately or reliably predict future revenues or operating results from mining activity. Management expects future revenues from the Timok Project in Serbia, Leeville royalty property in Nevada, Caserones royalty in Chile, and Gediktepe royalty in Türkiye, to fluctuate depending on the level of future production and metal prices. For the Leeville property in particular, there is also a risk that the operator may cease to operate in the Company's area of interest. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that royalty payments will continue or materialize and be received by the Company from either property.
EMX also earns or is due additional revenues including stages option payments, advanced annual royalty payments, management or operator fees, and anti-dilution provisions within various property agreements. There is a risk that these payments will not be received, and timing of any receipts may fluctuate. Further, certain payments may be dependent on milestone conditions, or the value may be based on certain market conditions including metal prices, or market price of equity interests received. At the time of entering into an agreement, management cannot reasonably estimate the value of these future receipts. In addition, EMX may not detect errors and payment calculations may call for retroactive adjustments. Each operator’s calculation of EMX’s royalty and other payments are subject to and dependent upon the adequacy and accuracy of its production, cost and accounting functions and errors may occur from time to time in the calculations made by an operator, and EMX does not have a contractual right to receive production information for all of its royalty and other interests. As such, EMX’s ability to detect payment errors through is limited, and the possibility exists that EMX will need to make retroactive royalty or other revenue adjustments.
Royalty Operation and Exploration Funding Risk
EMX's strategy is to seek exploration partners through options to fund exploration and project development. The main risk of this strategy is that the funding parties may not be able to raise sufficient capital to satisfy exploration and other expenditure terms in a particular option agreement. As a result, exploration and development of one or more of the Company's property interests may be delayed depending on whether EMX can find another party or has enough capital resources to fund the exploration and development on its own.
Fluctuating Metal Prices
The price of metals has fluctuated widely in recent years, and future serious price declines could cause continued development of and commercial production from mining operations to be impracticable. Factors beyond the control of the Company have a direct effect on global metal prices, which can and have fluctuated widely, and there is no assurance that a profitable market will exist for a production decision to be made or for the ultimate sale of the metals even if commercial quantities of precious and other metals are discovered on any of EMX's properties and the properties on which it holds royalties. Consequently, the economic viability of any of these projects and EMX's or the operator's ability to finance the development of its projects cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in metal prices.
In addition to adversely affecting the reserve estimates and financial conditions, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if the project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.
Extensive Governmental Regulation and Permitting Requirements Risks
Exploration, development and mining of minerals are subject to extensive laws and regulations at various governmental levels governing the acquisition of the mining interests, prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. In addition, the current and future operations, from exploration through development activities and production, require permits, licenses and approvals from some of these governmental authorities. EMX has, and believes the operators of properties on which it holds royalty interests have, obtained all government licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
24

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
operation of its business to date. However, additional licenses, permits and approvals may be required. The failure to obtain any licenses, permits or approvals that may be required or the revocation of existing ones would have a material and adverse effect on EMX, its business and results of operations.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities requiring EMX's or the project operator's operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. EMX and such operators may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of their mineral exploration activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of such laws, regulations and permits. Any such events could have a material and adverse effect on EMX and its business and could result in EMX not meeting its business objectives.
Foreign Countries and Political Risks
The Company operates in and holds royalties on properties in countries with varied political and economic environments. As such, it is subject to certain risks, including currency fluctuations and possible political or economic instability which may result in the impairment or loss of mineral concessions or other mineral rights, opposition from environmental or other non-governmental organizations, and mineral exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mineral exploration and mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Exploration and development may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on future exploitation and production, price controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine and site safety.
Notwithstanding any progress in restructuring political institutions or economic conditions, the present administration, or successor governments, of some countries in which EMX operates or holds royalty interests may not be able to sustain any progress. If any negative changes occur in the political or economic environment of these countries, it may have an adverse effect on the Company's operations in those countries. The Company does not carry political risk insurance.
Further, certain operators of properties on which the Company holds a royalty or other interest are subject to risks normally associated with the conduct of business in developing economies. Risks may include, among others, problems relating to power supply, labour disputes, delays or invalidation of governmental orders and permits, corruption, uncertain political and economic environments, civil disturbances and crime, arbitrary changes in laws or policies, foreign taxation and exchange controls, nationalization of assets, opposition to mining from environmental or other non-governmental organizations or changes in the political attitude towards mining, empowerment of previously disadvantaged people, local ownership requirements, limitations on foreign ownership, power supply issues, limitations on repatriation of earnings, infrastructure limitations and increased financing costs. These risks may limit, disrupt or negatively impact the operator’s business activities.
Natural Disasters, and Impact and Risks of Epidemics
Upon the occurrence of a natural disaster, pandemic or upon an incident of war (for example, the current and ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine), riot or civil unrest, the impacted country, and the overall global economy, may not efficiently and quickly recover from such an event, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Terrorist attacks, public health crises including epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks of new infectious diseases or viruses, and related events can result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains, operations, mobility of people, patterns of consumption and service and the financial markets, which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business, financial conditions, results of operations and other factors relevant to the Company.
Global markets have been adversely impacted by emerging infectious diseases and/or the threat of outbreaks of viruses, other contagions or epidemic diseases, including the COVID-19 pandemic . A significant new or resurgent outbreak of infectious disease, including COVID-19 and its variants, could result in a widespread crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn which could adversely affect the Company's business and the market price of the Common Shares. Many industries, including the mining industry, have been impacted by these market conditions. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, it may result in a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, availability of credit, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Company's business and the market price of the Company's securities. In addition, there may not be an adequate response to emerging infectious disease, or
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
25

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
significant restrictions and strict emergency measures may be imposed by a government, either of which may impact mining operations. There are potentially significant economic and social impacts of emerging infectious diseases, including labour shortages and shutdowns, delays and disruption in supply chains, social unrest, government or regulatory actions or inactions, including quarantines, declaration of national emergencies, permanent changes in taxation or policies, decreased demand or the inability to sell and deliver concentrates and resulting commodities, declines in the price of commodities, delays in permitting or approvals, suspensions or mandated shut downs of operations, governmental disruptions or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. At this time the Company cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations or financial results, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread, the duration of the outbreak, and the length restrictions or responses that have been or may be imposed by the governments. Given the global nature of the Company's operations, the Company may not be able to accurately predict which operations will be impacted or if those impacted will resume operations. Further, there are potentially significant economic losses from infectious disease outbreaks that can extend far beyond the initial location of an infection disease outbreak. Any new outbreaks or the continuation of the existing outbreaks or threats of any additional outbreaks of a contagion or epidemic disease could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business and operational results and financial conditions directly or due to a counterparty.
Financing and Share Price Fluctuation Risks
EMX has limited financial resources and has no assurance that additional funding will be available for further exploration and development of its projects. Further exploration and development of one or more of the Company's projects may be dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through equity or debt financing or other means. EMX can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain this financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of EMX's projects which could result in the loss of one or more of its properties. Furthermore, if EMX is required to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity securities, this could result in dilution to EMX’s existing shareholders.
The securities markets can experience a high degree of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered to be development stage companies such as EMX, may experience wide fluctuations in share prices which will not necessarily be related to their operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. There can be no assurance that share price fluctuations will not occur in the future, and if they do occur, there may be a severe impact on the Company's ability to raise additional funds through equity issues.
Uncertainty of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates
Any estimates for the properties in which the Company has a royalty or other interest, including historical estimates, may not be correct. The figures for mineral resources and mineral reserves, or historical estimates, are estimates only and no assurance can be given that the estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves, or historical estimates, will be recovered or that they will be recovered at the rates estimated. Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are based on limited sampling and geological interpretation, and, consequently, are uncertain because the samples may not be representative. Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates may require revision (either up or down) based on actual production experience. Market fluctuations in the price of metals, as well as increased production costs or reduced recovery rates, may render certain mineral reserves and mineral resources uneconomic and may ultimately result in a restatement of estimated mineral reserves and/or mineral resources.
Competition
EMX competes with many companies that have substantially greater financial and technical resources for project acquisition and development, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. Increased competition for royalty interests and resource investments could adversely affect EMX’s ability to acquire additional royalties and other investments in mineral properties.
The mineral exploration and mining businesses are competitive in all phases and many companies are engaged in the acquisition of mining interests, including large, established companies with substantial financial resources, operational capabilities and long earnings records. There has been significant growth in the royalty companies over the last several years and as a result, EMX may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring mineral interests, as competitors may have greater financial resources and technical personnel. There can be no assurance that EMX will be able to compete successfully against other companies in acquiring royalty interests.

Return on Investment Risk
Payment of dividends on the Common Shares is within the discretion of EMX’s Board of Directors and will depend upon EMX’s future earnings, cash flows, acquisition capital requirements and financial condition, among other relevant factors. EMX has not, since incorporation, paid any dividends on its Common Shares and has no present intention to pay dividends. Investors cannot expect to receive a dividend on an investment in the Common Shares in the foreseeable future, if at all.
No Assurance of Titles or Borders
The acquisition of the right to explore for and exploit mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process. There can be no guarantee that the Company has acquired title to any such surface or mineral rights or that such rights will be obtained in the future. To the extent they are obtained, titles to the Company's surface or mineral properties may be challenged or impugned and title insurance is generally not available. The Company's surface or mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. Such third-party claims and defects could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations.
Currency Risks
EMX’s royalty and other interests are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures, which may have a material adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations or financial condition. The Company's equity financings are sourced in Canadian dollars but much of its expenditures are in local currencies or U.S. dollars. At this time, there are no currency hedges in place. Therefore, a weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar or local currencies could have an adverse impact on the amount of funds available and work conducted.
Insured and Uninsured Risks
In the course of exploration, development and operation of mineral properties, the Company is subject to a number of risks and hazards in general, including adverse environmental conditions, operational accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to the Company's property or facilities and equipment, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Although the Company may maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers reasonable, its insurance may not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate future profitability and result in increased costs, have a material adverse effect on the Company's results and result in the decline in value of the securities of the Company.
Some work is carried out through independent consultants and the Company requires all consultants to carry their own insurance to cover any potential liabilities as a result of their work for the Company.
Environmental Risks and Hazards
The activities of the Company are subject to environmental regulations issued and enforced by government agencies. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement and involve increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There can be no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. Environmental hazards may exist on properties in which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present.
Changes in Climate Conditions and Legislation
A number of governments have introduced or are moving to introduce climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national, state or provincial, and local levels. Regulation relating to emission levels (such as carbon taxes) and energy efficiency is becoming more stringent. If the current regulatory trend continues, this may result in increased costs at some or all of the Company's operations.
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
27

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
In addition, the physical risks of climate change may also have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. Extreme weather events have the potential to disrupt operations at the Company's properties and may require the Company to make additional expenditures to mitigate the impact of such events.
The physical risks of climate change may also have an adverse effect on some of the Mining Operations. These risks include the following:
sea level rise: changes in sea level could affect ocean transportation and shipping facilities which are used to transport supplies, equipment and workforce and products from operations to world markets;
extreme weather events: extreme weather events (such as increased frequency or intensity of hurricanes, increased snowpack, prolonged drought) have the potential to disrupt mining operations. Extended disruptions to supply lines could result in interruption to production; and
resource shortages: mining operations depend on regular supplies of consumables (diesel, tires, sodium cyanide, et cetera) and reagents to operate efficiently. In the event that the effects of climate change or extreme weather events cause prolonged disruption to the delivery of essential commodities, production efficiency at mining operations is likely to be reduced.
There is no assurance that efforts to mitigate the risks of climate changes will be effective and that the physical risk of climate change will not have a material and adverse effect on the mining operations in which the Company has an interest and their profitability.
Key Personnel Risk
EMX's success is dependent upon the performance of key personnel working in management and administrative capacities or as consultants. The loss of the services of senior management or key personnel could have a material and adverse effect on the Company, its business and results of operations. Further, EMX may experience difficulty in attracting qualified management and technical personnel to efficiently operate its business. EMX is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of its key management, who contributions to immediate and future operations of EMX are of significant importance.
Conflicts of Interest
In accordance with the corporate laws of British Columbia, the directors and officers of a corporation are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. EMX's directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies or have significant shareholdings in other resource industry companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, such directors and officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation.
Passive Foreign Investment Company
United States (“U.S.”) investors in Common Shares should be aware that based on current business plans and financial expectations, EMX currently expects that it will be classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) under United States tax laws for the financial year ending December 31, 2023 and expects to be a PFIC in future tax years. If EMX is a PFIC for any tax year during a U.S. shareholder's ownership of Common Shares, then such U.S. shareholder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of Common Shares, or any so-called “excess distribution” received on its Common Shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distributions, unless the U.S. shareholder makes a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election (“QEF Election”) or a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the Common Shares. A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF Election generally must report on a current basis its share of EMX's net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which EMX is a PFIC, whether or not EMX distributes any amounts to its shareholders.
For each tax year that EMX qualifies as a PFIC, EMX intends to: (a) make available to U.S. shareholders, upon their written request, a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” as described in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g) (or any successor Treasury Regulation) and (b) upon written request, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all additional information that such U.S. shareholder is required to obtain in connection with maintaining such QEF Election with regard to EMX. EMX may elect to provide such information on its website www.EMXRoyalty.com. Each U.S. investor should consult its
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
28

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.
Corporate Governance and Public Disclosure Regulations
The Company is subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by a number of United States and Canadian governmental and self-regulated organizations, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the British Columbia and Alberta Securities Commissions, the NYSE American and the TSX-V. These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity and many new requirements have been created, making compliance more difficult and uncertain. The Company's efforts to comply with the new rules and regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Applicable securities laws require an annual assessment by management of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company may in the future fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, and the Company may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting.
Future acquisitions may provide the Company with challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in its acquired operations. Acquired corporations may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by securities laws currently applicable to the Company.
Any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within a control system include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by an unauthorized override of the controls. While the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected. In addition, should the Company expand in the future, the challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal control over financial reporting will increase and will require that the Company continue to improve its internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We may potentially in the future discover, areas of internal control over financial reporting that may require improvement. Whenever such a control deficiency is determined to exist, we could incur significant costs in remediation efforts implementing measures designed to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to a material weakness are remediated. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective now or in any future period, whether as a result of a newly- determined deficiency or because remediation efforts are ongoing, or if our independent auditors are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Information Systems and Cyber Security
The Company's information systems, and those of its counterparties under royalty agreements and vendors, are vulnerable to an increasing threat of continually evolving cybersecurity risks. Unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to these systems or the Company's information through fraud or other means of deceiving the Company's counterparties. The Company's operations depend, in part, on how well the Company and its suppliers, as well as counterparties under the royalty agreements, protect networks, equipment, information technology (“IT”) systems and software against damage from a number of threats. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
29

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
such failure, adversely impact the Company's reputation and results of operations. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increases in capital expenses.
The Company has entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other services in connection with its own operations. The Company also depends on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risk of failures. The Company can provide no assurance that it will not experience any known or unknown material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other data/information security breaches in the future. The Company's risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain an area of attention.
Any future significant compromise or breach of the Company's data/information security, whether external or internal, or misuse of data or information, could result in additional significant costs, lost sales, fines and lawsuits, and damage to the Company's reputation. In addition, as the regulatory environment related to data/information security, data collection and use, and privacy becomes increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to the Company's business, compliance with those requirements could also result in additional costs. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.
Activist Shareholders
Publicly traded companies are often subject to demands or publicity campaigns from activist shareholders advocating for changes to corporate governance practices, such as executive compensation practices, social issues, or for certain corporate actions or reorganizations. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to any such campaign, including proxy contests, media campaigns or other activities. Responding to challenges from activist shareholders can be costly and time consuming and may have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation. In addition, responding to such campaigns would likely divert the attention and resources of the Company's management and Board, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Even if the Company were to undertake changes or actions in response to activism, activist shareholders may continue to promote or attempt to effect further changes and may attempt to acquire control of the Company. If shareholder activists are ultimately elected to the Board, this could adversely affect the Company's business and future operations. This type of activism can also create uncertainty about the Company's future strategic direction, resulting in loss of future business opportunities, which could adversely affect the Company's business, future operations, profitability and the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
Reputation Damage
Reputational damage can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. While the Company does not ultimately have direct control over how it and its Directors, officers and employees are perceived by others, reputational loss could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial performance, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.
Potential Litigation
Potential litigation affecting the properties in which EMX holds its royalty or other interests could have an adverse effect on EMX. Such litigation could be brought by community, indigenous groups or host governments, litigation between joint venture partners or other litigation between operators and original party owners or neighboring property owners. As a royalty or other interest holder, EMX will not generally have any influence on the litigation and will not generally have access to data. Any such litigation that results in the cessation or reduction of production from a property (whether temporary or permanent) could have a material adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of EMX’s securities.
Significant Royalties
The Caserones Royalty, Timok Royalty and Gediktepe Royalties are currently significant to EMX, although as new assets are acquired or move into production, the materiality of each of EMX’s assets will be reconsidered. Any adverse development affecting the operation of, production from or recoverability of mineral reserves from Caserones, Timok or Gediktepe or any
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
30

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
other significant property in the asset portfolio from time to time, such as, but not limited to, unusual and unexpected geologic formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, sinkholes, pit wall failures, tailings dam failures, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage, or the inability to hire suitable personnel and engineering contractors or secure supply agreements on commercially suitable terms, may have a material adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, EMX has no control over operational decisions made by the third-party owners and operators of these projects. Any adverse decision made by the owners and operators, including for example, alterations to mine plans or production schedules, may impact the timing and amount of revenue that EMX receives and may have a material and adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, financial condition and results of operations. As these mines mature, EMX can expect overall declines in production over the years unless operators are able to replace reserves that are mined through mine expansion or successful new exploration.
Dependence on Royalty Payments
EMX is dependent to a large extent upon the financial viability and operational effectiveness of owners and operators of its relevant royalty properties. Payments from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues. Payments may be delayed by restrictions imposed by lenders, delays in the sale or delivery of products, the ability or willingness of smelters and refiners to process mine products, delays in the connection of wells to a gathering system, blowouts or other accidents, recovery by the operators of expenses incurred in the operation of the royalty properties, the establishment by the operators of reserves for such expenses or the insolvency of the operator. EMX’s rights to payment under the royalties must, in most cases, be enforced by contract without the protection of the ability to liquidate a property. This inhibits EMX’s ability to collect outstanding royalties from interest properties upon a default. Additionally, some agreements may provide limited recourse in particular circumstances which may further inhibit EMX’s ability to recover or obtain equitable relief in the event of a default under such agreements. In the event of a bankruptcy of an operator or owner, a creditor or the operator may seek to terminate the royalty or other agreement or otherwise limit EMX’s recovery in the insolvency proceeding. Failure to receive payments from the owners and operators of the relevant properties or termination of EMX’s rights may result in a material and adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations and financial condition.
Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $34,660,000 outstanding under the Sprott Credit Facility. The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance indebtedness depends on its future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond its control (including, in particular, the continued receipt of royalty and other interest payments). If any of these factors beyond its control arose, the Company may not continue to generate cash flow in the future sufficient to service debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to generate such cash flow, it may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. The Company’s ability to refinance indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time. The Company may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on its debt obligations.
Revenue from Royalties
The Company holds royalty interests that allow the mining operator to deduct certain costs, including, but not limited to, marketing and sales charges, sampling, transportation of minerals, refinery or smelter costs, taxes or other incidental and handling costs. Such costs will fluctuate in ways that are unpredictable and are beyond the control of the Company and can significantly impact the revenue the Company may receive on these mineral royalty interests. Increases in costs incurred by the mining operator on permitted cost deductions will likely result in a decline in the revenue received by the Company on these royalty interests and will impact overall revenue of the Company and could result in an adverse effect on the Company.
Material Transactions
EMX is continuously reviewing opportunities to acquire existing royalties, to create new royalty interests, or to acquire companies that hold royalties interests. At any given time, EMX has various types of transactions and acquisition opportunities in various stages of active review, including submission of indications of interest and participation in discussions or negotiations in respect of such transactions. This process also involves the engagement of consultants and advisors to assist in analyzing
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
31

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
particular opportunities. Any such acquisition or transaction could be material to EMX and may involve the issuance of securities by EMX or the incurring of indebtedness to fund any such acquisition. In addition, any such acquisition or other royalty transaction may have other transaction-specific risks associated with it, including risks related to the completion of the transaction, the project operators or the jurisdictions in which assets may be acquired. Additionally, EMX may consider opportunities to restructure its royalties where it believes such a restructuring may provide a long-term benefit to EMX, even if such restructuring may reduce near-term revenues or result in EMX incurring transaction-related costs. EMX may enter into one or more acquisitions, restructurings or other royalty transactions at any time.
Global Financial Conditions
Global financial conditions have been characterized by ongoing volatility. Global financial conditions could suddenly and rapidly destabilize in response to future events, as government authorities may have limited resources to respond to future crises. Global capital markets have continued to display increased volatility in response to global events. Future crises may be precipitated by any number of causes, including natural disasters, geopolitical instability, changes to energy prices or sovereign defaults.
Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could negatively impact EMX’s ability, or the ability of the operators of the properties in which EMX holds royalties or other interests, to obtain equity or debt financing or make other suitable arrangements to finance their projects. Additionally, EMX may be subject to counterparty risk and liquidity risk. EMX is exposed to various counterparty risks including, but not limited to (i) through financial institutions that hold EMX’s cash, (ii) through companies that have payables to EMX, (iii) through EMX’s insurance providers, and (iv) through EMX’s lenders. EMX is also exposed to liquidity risks in meeting its operating expenditure requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors may impact the ability of EMX to obtain loans or other credit facilities or obtain equity financing in the future or to obtain them on terms favourable to EMX. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, EMX’s operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of EMX securities could be adversely affected.
Changes in Tax Legislation and Reviews by Tax Authorities
Changes to, or differing interpretation of, taxation laws or regulations in any of the countries in which EMX’s assets or relevant contracting parties are located could result in some or all of EMX’s profits being subject to additional taxation.
No assurance can be given that new taxation rules or accounting policies will not be enacted or that existing rules will not be applied in a manner which could result in EMX’s profits being subject to additional taxation or which could otherwise have a material adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of EMX securities. In addition, the introduction of new tax rules or accounting policies, or changes to, or differing interpretations of, or application of, existing tax rules or accounting policies could make royalties or other investments by EMX less attractive to counterparties. Such changes could adversely affect EMX’s ability to acquire new assets or make future investments.
Furthermore, tax authorities in jurisdictions applicable to EMX may periodically conduct reviews of EMX’s tax filings and compliance. Those reviews could result in adverse tax consequences and unexpected financial costs and exposure.
Inability to Add Additional Reserves
The revenue generated by EMX is principally based on the exploitation of mineral reserves on assets underlying the royalty or other interests on which EMX has a royalty or other interest. Mineral reserves are continually being depleted through extraction and the long-term viability of EMX’s asset portfolio depends on the replacement of mineral reserves through new producing assets and increases in mineral reserves on existing producing assets. While EMX may be able to maintain all or a portion of its interest in its reserve inventory through acquisitions, its business model relies on the successful development of the non-producing properties in its asset portfolio. Exploration for minerals resources is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the operator of any given project will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of mineral resources on properties underlying the asset portfolio. Even in those cases where a significant mineral deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that the deposit can be economically extracted. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the mineral resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that new mineral reserves will be identified to replace or increase the amount of mineral reserves currently in the asset portfolio.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
This includes mineral resources, as the resources that have been discovered have not been subjected to sufficient analysis to justify commercial operations or the allocation of funds required for development. The inability to add additional mineral reserves or to replace existing mineral reserves through either the development of existing mineral resources or the acquisition of new mineral producing assets may result in a material and adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of EMX securities.
Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Laws
The Company is subject to the Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to third parties, including foreign governments and their officials, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In some cases, the Company invests in properties in certain jurisdictions where corruption may be more common, which can increase the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments in violation of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations and in violation of our policies. In addition, the operators of the properties may fail to comply with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations. Although the Company does not operate the properties on which it holds a royalty interest, enforcement authorities could deem us to have some culpability for the operators’ actions. Any violations of the applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws could result in significant civil or criminal penalties to us and could have an adverse effect on our reputation.
Long-term Investments
The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding long- term equity investments in other companies, including, but not limited to, exploration and mining companies. Just as investing in the Company is inherent with risks such as those set out in this annual information form, by investing in these other companies, the Company is exposed to the risks associated with owning equity securities and those risks inherent in the investee companies, including the loss of the full value of these investments. The Company generally does not actively trade these investments.
Common Shares may be Suspended from Trading
Each of the TSX-V and NYSE American has the right to suspend trading in certain circumstances. If the Common Shares are suspended from trading, the holders of Common Shares may not be able to dispose of their Common Shares on the TSX-V or the NYSE American (as the case may be).
TSX-V: The objective of the TSX-V's policies regarding continued listing privileges is to facilitate the maintenance of an orderly and effective auction market for securities of a wide variety of listed issuers, in which there is a substantial public interest, and that comply with the requirements of the TSX-V. The policies are designed and administered in a manner consistent with that objective. The TSX-V has adopted certain quantitative and qualitative criteria under which it will normally consider the suspension from trading and delisting of securities. However, no set of criteria can effectively anticipate the unique circumstances which may arise in any given situation. Accordingly, each situation is considered individually on the basis of relevant facts and circumstances. As such, whether or not any of the delisting criteria has become applicable to a listed issuer or security, the TSX-V may, at any time, suspend from trading and delist securities if in the opinion of the TSX-V, such action is consistent with the objective noted above or further dealings in the securities on the TSX-V may be prejudicial to the public interest. In addition, the TSX-V may at any time suspend from trading the Common Shares if it is satisfied that the Company has failed to comply with any of the provisions of its listing agreement with the TSX-V or other agreements with the TSX-V, or with any TSX-V requirement or policy.
NYSE American: The NYSE American may suspend trading in, and commence proceedings to delist, the Common Shares from time to time if it determines that EMX or the Common Shares fail to satisfy the applicable quantitative or qualitative continued listing criteria under the NYSE American listing standards. The NYSE American may also suspend trading in, and commence proceedings to delist, the securities of an issuer if the issuer or its management engage in operations that are in the opinion of the NYSE American contrary to the public interest. Typically, if an issuer or its NYSE American-listed securities fall below the NYSE American's quantitative or qualitative listing criteria, the NYSE American reviews the appropriateness of continued listing and may give consideration to any definitive action proposed by the issuer, pursuant to procedures and timelines set forth in the NYSE American listing standards, that would bring the issuer or such securities above the applicable continued listing standards. However, in certain cases, the failure of the issuer or its listed securities to meet certain continued listing criteria may result in immediate suspension and delisting by the NYSE American without such evaluation or follow-up procedures.

A substantial portion of the assets of EMX are located outside of Canada. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in EMX’s securities to collect from EMX judgments obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation of certain of the provinces and territories of Canada. It may also be difficult for investors in EMX’s securities to succeed in a lawsuit in the United States, based solely on violations of Canadian securities laws.
Environmental, Social and Governance Matters
Mining, extraction, processing, exploration and development activities in mining are subject to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) risks which could have a significant impact on project development, operational performance, reputation and social license to operate. ESG issues at the properties underlying EMX’s assets could have a material and adverse effect on EMX’s profitability, results of operations, financial condition, the trading price of EMX securities and EMX’s reputation.
Investors are increasingly seeking enhanced disclosure on the risks, challenges, governance implications and financial impacts of ESG matters faced by companies, including EMX itself and many of the operators of the properties in which EMX holds an interest. In connection with increased investor focus and additional disclosure, there is the potential for litigation in connection with such disclosure and with underlying ESG-related issues. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial cost and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm the reputation of EMX.
Supplies, Infrastructure and Employees
Natural resource exploration, development and mining activities are dependent on the availability of mining, drilling and related equipment and numerous consumables and services, including electricity and carbon-based fuels, in the particular areas where such activities are conducted. A limited supply, access restrictions or escalating prices of such equipment or supplies may affect the availability of such equipment or supplies to the owners and operators of properties in which EMX has a royalty or other interest, and may delay exploration, development or extraction activities. Certain equipment or supplies may not be immediately available, or may require long lead time orders or planning. The lack of availability on acceptable terms or the delay in the availability of any one or more of these items could prevent or delay exploration, development or production at the properties in which EMX has a royalty or other interest.
Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect the operations in which EMX has a royalty or other interest. Realized pricing underlying payments in respect of EMX’s diversified interests may differ from benchmark pricing due to product quality differences and transportation costs. From time to time, material differences in price may arise due to transportation bottlenecks or a lack of pipeline capacity. These differentials are expected to be volatile over time and change with market dynamics
Production from the properties in which EMX holds an interest depends on the efforts of operators’ employees. There is competition for geologists and persons with mining and oil and gas expertise. The ability of the owners and operators of such properties to hire and retain geologists and persons with expertise is key to those operations. Further, relations with employees may be affected by changes in the scheme of labour relations that may be introduced by the relevant governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which those operations are conducted. Changes in such legislation or otherwise in the relationships of the owners and operators of such properties with their employees may result in strikes, lockouts or other work stoppages, any of which could have a material adverse effect on such operations, results of operations and financial condition of EMX. If these factors cause the owners and operators of such properties to decide to cease production at one or more of the properties, such decision could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of EMX.
Indigenous Peoples
Various international and national, state and provincial laws, codes, resolutions, conventions, guidelines, treaties, and other principles and considerations relate to the rights of indigenous peoples. EMX holds royalty and other interests on operations located in some areas presently or previously inhabited or used by indigenous peoples. Many of these materials impose obligations on government to respect the rights of indigenous people. Some mandate consultation with indigenous people regarding actions which may affect indigenous people, including actions to approve or grant mining rights or permits. The obligations of government and private parties under the various international and national requirements, principles and considerations pertaining to indigenous people continue to evolve and be defined. EMX’s current and future operations are
TSX.V: EMX.V / NYSE: EMXEMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
34

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
subject to a risk that one or more groups of indigenous people may oppose continued operation, further development, or new development of those projects or operations on which EMX holds a royalty or other interest. This risk exists even where operators have sought to comply with applicable consultation obligations. Such opposition may be directed through legal or administrative proceedings or protests, roadblocks or other forms of public expression against EMX or the operators’ activities. Opposition by indigenous people to such activities may require modification of or preclude operation or development of projects or may require the entering into of agreements with indigenous people. Claims and protests of indigenous peoples may disrupt or delay activities of the operators of EMX’s royalty or other interests.
Potential Changes to Mining Legislation in Chile
The Company has a number of properties on which it holds a royalty or other interest located in each of Chile (in particular, Caserones). Chile has recently been experiencing periods of significant political volatility and changes in government. Government bodies and officials in Chile have made a variety of proposals regarding potential changes to mining legislation. The proposals are wide-ranging and have included potential changes in mining policies, royalties, taxation levels, ownership rights and the treatment of local communities.
In Chile, a draft constitution proposed to replace its current text was rejected by Chileans on December 17, 2023, representing the second draft rejected by voters in as many years, with the first having occurred in a national referendum held in September 2022. Drafting of new constitutions and the resulting votes have occurred over a period of political and legislative uncertainty in Chile which began in late 2019 and has been underscored by frequent wide scale public demonstrations demanding, among other things, constitutional, social and legal reforms. While the results of two recent plebiscites appear to confirm the status quo, there is no assurance that there will not be any constitutional or legislative changes in Chile in the future. Any constitutional or legislative changes in Chile that impact management of the country’s natural resources, or labor and social security legislation, among other matters, could affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in Chile.
On August 10, 2023, Law No. 21,591, also known as the Mining Royalty Law, was published in the Official Gazette of Chile, which eliminated the specific mining tax and established a new mining royalty tax. The new royalty tax comprises two main components: an ad valorem component which is only applicable to larger mining operations meeting certain annual sale thresholds, and a tax levied on mining operating margins. The new law also established maximum tax burdens on mining businesses. While the recent changes to mining taxes and royalties in Chile have no immediately measurable impact on the Company’s business, they do highlight the ability of the government to introduce tax and royalty reforms which could materially affect the Company’s business interests in Chile. Other changes could be considered or proposed in the future, including but not limited to increases to mining or income taxes, new royalties, changes to value added taxes, or increases or removal of maximum tax limits for mining companies. Such changes in the future could affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in Chile.

Introduction
EMX has been generating exploration projects for over 20 years and is now focused on entering into agreements to convert those assets into royalty interests, as well as directly acquiring new royalty properties. EMX has built a portfolio of precious metals, base metals, battery metals, and palladium-platinum royalty and mineral property interests that includes over 280 projects and spans six continents. These assets provide revenue streams to the Company from royalty payments, pre-production payments, and equity issuances while maintaining exposure to development and exploration upside optionality as projects are advanced by the operators and partners.
EMX supplements mineral property revenue streams and value creation by making strategic investments in undervalued companies or projects, with exit strategies that can include royalty positions, equity sales, or a combination of both. The Company's royalty, royalty generation, and strategic investment portfolio mainly consists of properties in North America, Europe, Türkiye, Australia, and Latin America.
The following disclosure has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards.

Caserones, Chile - The Caserones open pit mine is developed on a porphyry copper (molybdenum) deposit in the Atacama Region of Chile’s Andean Cordillera. As at December 31, 2023 EMX held an (effective) 0.7775% NSR royalty interest covering the Caserones mine, as well as other nearby exploration targets, within a mineral concession package totaling approximately 17,000 hectares. The mine is operated by Lundin. Caserones produces copper and molybdenum concentrates from a conventional crusher, mill, and flotation plant, as well as copper cathodes from a dump leach and solvent extraction and electrowinning plant.
In 2023, the Company increased its effective NSR royalty from 0.7335% to 0.7775% by acquiring an additional 2.26% interest in SLM California for $3,517,000 through its wholly-owned subsidiary EMX Chile SpA.
The Company’s effective share of the royalty revenue in Caserones totaled $10,407,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company's effective royalty distribution totaled $7,013,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These payments were based upon copper and molybdenum mine production between Q4 2022 and Q3 2023. These royalty distribution payments to EMX were after payment of Chilean taxes of approximately 27%.
Subsequent to December 31, 2023, EMX acquired an additional 2.737% ownership in SLM California, for cash consideration of $4,742,000 pursuant to an agreement with Franco Nevada. The acquisition provided EMX with a further 0.0531% (effective) NSR royalty interest in the Caserones royalty property, thereby increasing the Company’s effective NSR royalty interest to 0.8306%.
Lundin closed its acquisition of fifty-one percent (51%) of the equity of previous operator MLCC from JX Nippon and certain JX Nippon subsidiaries in July 2023 which established Lundin as the operator of Caserones (see Lundin news release dated July 13, 2023). In connection with the acquisition, Lundin filed the Caserones Technical Report that included mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.

The Caserones mineral resources and mineral reserves given above are presented on a 100% basis.
According to Lundin, the Caserones mineral resources and mineral reserves increased from the previous estimate due to higher metal price forecasts, block model updates, and changes to mineral resource classification.
Lundin reported copper production of 139,520 tonnes from Caserones for the full year 2023 (see Lundin January Release) Lundin also provided 2024 production guidance of 120,000 – 130,000 tonnes copper and 2,500 – 3,000 tonnes molybdenum. The cash cost is forecast to be $2.60/lb – $2.80/lb of copper, after by-product credits. The increase in Caserones cash costs compared to 2023 (i.e., $1.99/lb) reflects lower grades, higher operating costs, and lower by-product credits. The copper production outlook for both 2025 and 2026 was stated by Lundin as 125,000 – 135,000 tonnes, with molybdenum production of 1,500 - 2,000 tonnes in 2025 and 2,500 – 3,000 tonnes in 2026.
Exploration at Caserones is focused on near-mine and in-mine targets that will include $14,700,000 in expenditures and 12,900 meters of planned drilling as well as geophysical surveys in 2024 (see Lundin January Release). The 2024 drill program is underway with three rigs targeting Caserones deep sulfide mineralization and the Angelica prospect (see Lundin news release dated February 21, 2024), both of which are covered by EMX royalty ground.
Additional Information for the Caserones Royalty is included in the Technical Information section and Appendix B of the AIF.

The Timok Technical Report was filed by EMX on March 31, 2022 and is available on SEDAR+.
On September 1, 2023, EMX executed the Amended Timok Royalty Agreement for its Timok Royalty property with Zijin. EMX and Zijin agreed that the Timok Royalty will consist of a 0.3625% NSR royalty that is uncapped and cannot be repurchased or reduced. The royalty covers Zijin’s Brestovac exploration permit area (including the Cukaru Peki Mining licenses), as well as portions of Zijin’s Jasikovo-Durlan Potak exploration license north of the currently active Bor Mine. Subsequent to the execution of the Amended Timok Royalty Agreement, EMX received $6,676,000 in royalty proceeds from its Timok royalty property with Zijin. This included retroactive payments that date back to the commencement of production.
EMX earned $8,632,000 in royalty revenue from the Timok royalty property during the year ended December 31, 2023. This included a payment of $1,590,000 for production that took place from July through December, 2021 and a payment of $3,200,000 for the calendar year 2022.
Additional information for the Timok Royalty is included in the Technical Information section of this AIF as well as in Appendix B.
Gediktepe, Türkiye - The Gediktepe VMS polymetallic deposit is located in western Türkiye. The Gediktepe Royalties consist of: (i) a perpetual 10% NSR royalty over metals produced from the “oxide zone” (predominantly gold and silver) after cumulative production of 10,000 gold-equivalent oxide ounces; and (ii) a perpetual 2% NSR royalty over metals produced from the “sulfide zone” (predominantly copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold), payable after cumulative production of 25,000 gold-equivalent sulfide ounces (gold-equivalent as referenced from an underlying 2019 Share Purchase Agreement). The Gediktepe Royalties were acquired as part of the SSR Royalty Portfolio Transaction, and are being advanced by operator Lidya Madencilik Anayi ve Ticaret A.S. (“Lidya”), a private Turkish company.
The Gediktepe Mine reached a cumulative production of 10,000 gold equivalent ounces in June 2022. This triggered the 10% NSR royalty payments to EMX for all subsequent production of metals from the oxide zone mining operation.
EMX earned $6,694,000 in royalty revenue from the Gediktepe Mine for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2023 EMX also received $4,000,000 in milestone payments from Gediktepe which became due upon the first anniversary of commercial production for the oxide gold project. This payment was earned in 2022 and therefore recognized as a milestone payment in 2022. Milestone payments are included in option and other property income. The royalty revenue from Q4 represented a marked uptick in revenue to EMX, with revenue from November and December exceeding $1,000,000 each month for the first time.
Additional information for the Gediktepe Royalties is included in the Technical Information section of this AIF as well as in Appendix B.
Leeville, Nevada - The Leeville 1% gross smelter return ("GSR") royalty covers portions of West Leeville, Carlin East, Four Corners, Turf, Rita K, and other underground gold mining operations and deposits in the Northern Carlin Trend of Nevada (the "Leeville Royalty").

AbraSilver reported positive metallurgical test results in 2023 with overall recoveries for the JAC and Fantasma deposits ranging between 86%-93% for silver and 82%-91% for gold (see AbraSilver news release dated June 1, 2023). AbraSilver also reported on positive results from metallurgical optimization test work conducted for the Oculto deposit . From this work, the recovery rates at Oculto are expected to range between 82% - 86% for silver and 84% - 89% for gold. These results represent a significant increase over the recovery rates of 73.5% for silver and 86% for gold used in AbraSilver's preliminary economic assessment (see AbraSilver news release dated October 10, 2023).
Based upon the additional drilling and metallurgical work completed, AbraSilver reported an updated mineral resource estimate for the Oculto deposit, as well as first time mineral resource estimates for the JAC, Fantasma and Laderas deposits which are proximal to the west and southwest of Oculto (see AbraSilver news release dated November 27, 2023). The updated mineral resource estimates represent significant increases in measured and indicated average grades (32%) and contained silver (36%), which in part is due to contributions from the high-grade JAC deposit. The Diablillos measured and indicated mineral resources now total contained metal of 148,275 Koz silver and 1,360 Koz gold. All of the reported mineral resources represent oxide mineralization and are constrained by four conceptual open pits that have the potential to merge with further exploration (see AbraSilver news release dated November 27, 2023).

EMX retains a 2% NSR royalty covering Tartan Lake, which is owned and operated by Canadian Gold Corp. (TSX-V: CGC) (formerly Satori Resources Inc.) ("CGC"). CGC has an option to buyback each 1% of the NSR royalty for separate C$1,000,000 payments to EMX. The Tartan Lake Royalty Property hosts underground gold resources which are considered as historical by EMX. EMX’s interest in Tartan Lake was acquired in 2021 as part of the SSR Royalty Portfolio Transaction.
In Q2 2023, CGC announced a Phase 1 exploration program of 4,000 meters of drilling to extend Main Zone gold mineralization to depth (see CGC news release dated May 12, 2023). In Q3 2023, CGC disclosed Phase I results that included one of the best intercepts in the mine’s history from; TLMZ23-26, that extended mineralization 325 meters below the lower limit defined by the (historical) resource estimate, and which returned 12.0 g/t gold over 8.0 meters (1034-1042 m) within 53.7 meters (1000.3-1057 m)averaging 4.2 g/t gold (true width unknown) (see CGC news release dated August 23, 2023). Additional Phase I drill results reinforced the potential for a larger discovery below the (historical) mineral resource limit (see CGC news release dated September 27, 2023). CGC also provided an update on its regional field work at Tartan Lake, which included high-grade gold samples located approximately 1.4 kilometers from the Tartan mine.
Subsequently, CGC commenced a Phase 2 program with a minimum of 2,500 meters of drilling planned (see CGC news release dated November 8, 2023). The Phase 2 program will target extensions of the Main Zone gold mineralization (see CGC news release dated December 21, 2023).

Yenipazar, Türkiye - The Yenipazar polymetallic VMS deposit in central Türkiye is currently owned and advanced by Virtus Madencilik ("Virtus"), a private Turkish company that is partly owned by Trafigura Ventures V B.V. EMX holds a Net Profits Interest ("NPI") royalty that is set at 6% until US$165,000,000 in revenues are received, after which the NPI converts to a 10% interest. The Yenipazar Royalty was acquired by EMX in 2021 as part of the SSR Royalty Portfolio Transaction.
Previous owner Aldridge Minerals Inc. ("Aldridge") disclosed a historical feasibility study on the project in 2013, which was updated in 2014. This remains the most recent public disclosure of technical information and historical mining reserves and resources on the project. Since acquiring the royalty, EMX has maintained contact with Virtus and received updates on the status of the project. Virtus updated the feasibility study in 2019, but this in-house report remains unpublished as of the date of this document.
See Appendix B for information on historical resources and reserves at Yenipazar .
Akarca, Türkiye - The Akarca epithermal gold-silver deposit in western Türkiye was discovered by EMX in 2006 during a regional exploration program. The project was later sold to current owner Çiftay İnşaat Taahhüt ve Ticaret A.Ş. ("Çiftay"), a private Turkish company. Çiftay is responsible for making a series of pre-production gold bullion payments to EMX, and EMX retains a 1% NSR royalty on the initial 100,000 ounces of gold production from the project, a 2% NSR royalty on production on the next 400,000 ounces of gold produced, and a 3% NSR royalty on any production of gold after 500,000 ounces of gold are produced. The NSR royalties are uncapped and cannot be bought down
To date, over 350 exploration drill holes and 17 kilometers of trenching have been completed along with collection of over 6,500 rock and 3,500 soil samples and preparation of in-house (non-public) resource models for the gold-silver mineralized zones.
In 2020 Çiftay made the decision to halt further field work while awaiting permits and a court decision regarding land use designations in the area. EMX has maintained active discussions with Çiftay since that time, and Çiftay has informed EMX that it is awaiting a final legal ruling on the land use issue, which will allow Çiftay to resume its programs at Akarca. Çiftay is currently determining strategies for continued exploration and development of the project.
Sisorta, Türkiye - The Sisorta project consists of an oxide gold deposit with underlying copper and gold porphyry potential. EMX sold the project in 2016 to Bahar Madencilik Sinayi ve Ticaret Ltd Sti (“Bahar”), a privately owned Turkish company, retaining a royalty and advance royalty payment interests. The EMX royalties consist of a 3.5% NSR on any materials mined and processed on site at Sisorta, and a 5% NSR royalty on any materials shipped offsite for processing. Bahar, which operates the nearby Altintepe gold mine, commenced development of the Sisorta project in 2022, and construction continued to progress in Q4 2023. Bahar now anticipates commissioning of the leach pad and ADR plant in mid-2024.
Viscaria, Sweden - EMX holds an effective 0.5% to 1.0% NSR royalty interest on the Viscaria copper (iron) project located in the Kiruna mining district of Sweden which is operated by Stockholm listed Copperstone Resources AB ("Copperstone"). The Viscaria deposit contains elements of both VMS and iron oxide-copper-gold styles of mineralization and was mined from 1983-1996 by a partnership between LKAB and Outokumpu OYJ. Significant mineral resources remain in the historical mining area, most of which are covered by EMX’s royalty footprint.
In Q3 2023, Copperstone announced updated information for the environmental permit application timeline. A site inspection by the Land and Environmental Court was held on September 29, 2023 with the main hearing regarding consideration of the environmental permit scheduled for February, 2024 (see Copperstone news releases dated June 29, 2023 and September 25, 2023). Copperstone also announced that its application for land allocation has been approved and that the Swedish government has designated that the Viscaria project area can be used for mining (see Copperstone news release dated June 29, 2023).
In Q4 2023, Copperstone provided updated information for the environmental permit application timeline. On December 7 2023 Copperstone announced that the main hearing regarding consideration of the environmental permit is scheduled to commence on January 30 2024 and run through February 21 2024. The environmental permit is considered a key milestone preceding construction and development.
Copperstone also completed an additional 60,000 meters of drilling in 2023 and continued work on the Viscaria feasibility study.

Summary of United States
EMX added to its growing royalty portfolio during 2023 with the completion of seven new royalty agreements. There are now a total of 46 royalty properties or properties being advanced for a retained EMX royalty interest. Partners advanced and/or funded more than 14 project work programs, including nine drill projects For the year, partners spent more than $19,500,000 on EMX's early-stage U.S. Royalty generation portfolio. EMX advanced 40 additional projects that are available for partnership. EMX remains one of the largest mineral rights holders in the southwestern U.S., including key properties in the porphyry copper districts of Arizona and the Carlin-type gold deposit trends of Nevada.
Highlights of the United States
Swift, Nevada, USA - EMX’s Swift Royalty Property (3.25% production returns royalty), located in Nevada’s Cortez district, is owned by Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: RDG; OTCQB: RDGMF; FRA: 0GC0) (“Ridgeline”) and operated by NGM (i.e. Barrick and Newmount) in a joint venture with Ridgeline. Pursuant to the Swift joint venture agreement with NGM, NGM can incur a minimum of $20,000,000 in qualifying work expenditures over an initial five-year term to earn a 60% interest in Swift, and will have further options to increase its interest to a total of 75% (see Ridgeline news release dated August 10, 2023).
During 2023, Ridgeline reported on two reconnaissance “framework” holes that intersected Lower-Plate carbonate host rocks between depths of 570-830 meters with widespread intervals of Carlin-Type alteration and thick zones (i.e., 37.2-48.8 m) of anomalous gold (silver) mineralization (see Ridgeline news release dated February 16, 2023). The intercepts included 48.8 meters starting at 667.5 meters averaging 0.45 g/t Au in hole SW22-003 (true width not reported). NGM has proposed a budget of up to $5,000,000 to fund the next phase of framework drilling in 2024.
Selena, Nevada, USA - Ridgeline owns and operates EMX’s Selena Royalty Property (3.25% production returns royalty) which hosts multiple polymetallic carbonate replacement deposit (“CRD”) and skarn targets (i.e., Chinchilla Oxide, Chinchilla Sulfide, Jupiter, etc.) along an approximately 3.5 kilometer strike length (see Ridgeline investor presentation dated February 2024).
Drill intercepts reported from the Chinchilla oxide zone included 32.5 meters starting at 246.3 meters averaging 153.42 g/t Ag, 2.51% Pb, 1.60% Zn, and 0.1 g/t Au in hole SE 22-045 (true width estimated at 70-90% of reported interval length) (see Ridgeline news release dated January 24, 2023). Follow-up intercepts from a five hole, 2,000-meter drill program returned continuous intercepts of shallow-oxide, Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralization including a) hole SE23-048 with 10.9 meters averaging 94.1 g/t Ag, 1.3% Pb, 0.7% Zn, and 0.2 g/t Au starting at 85.3 meters vertical depth in the Upper Chinchilla Zone (true width estimated at 70-90% of the reported intercept length), as well as b) the first intercepts of Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralization from the Lower Chinchilla zone,

which effectively doubled the vertical extent of stacked zones of mineralization (see Ridgeline news releases dated October 12, and December 6, 2023).
South32 Portfolio, Arizona, USA - EMX executed exploration programs funded by South32 on a portfolio of seven projects. The properties were retained from a four-year Regional Strategic Alliance which concluded in late 2022 and are located in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Nevada. During 2023, the portfolio was advanced through drilling, permitting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys. Two of the projects were advanced to Designated Project status with the execution of separate exploration and option agreements based on encouraging exploration results (see EMX news release dated December 6, 2018 for terms of the Designated Project option agreements). Follow-up work to advance the portfolio will continue in 2024.
Hardshell, Arizona, USA - South32 continued to advance its Hermosa property, which includes EMX’s Hardshell royalty property. The Hermosa property is comprised of a) the Taylor polymetallic (Zn-Pb-Ag) development project adjacent to the north of Hardshell with CRD mineralization that projects down dip onto EMX’s royalty footprint, b) the Peake Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag prospect, which as currently outlined is partially covered by EMX’s royalty ground, and c) the Clark deposit to the east of Hardshell. EMX retains a 2% NSR royalty on Hardshell that is not capped nor subject to buy down.
South32’s advances during the year at Hermosa were summarized in a July 24, 2023 news release, its August 23, 2023 “Financial Results and Outlook Year Ended 30 June 2023” news release and investor presentation, and its February 14, 2024 “Financial Results and Outlook - half year ended 31 Dec 2023” news release and presentation.
Drilling at the Peake prospect, which is partially covered by EMX’s Hardshell royalty property, returned multiple copper-enriched polymetallic intercepts occurring as stacked horizons of disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralization (also see EMX new release dated October 2, 2023). Results from Hardshell included the best Peake drill intercept to date in hole HDS-813, with 139 meters (1302.7-1441.7 m) averaging 1.88% copper, 0.51% lead, 0.34% zinc, and 52 g/t silver, with a subinterval of 58.2 meters averaging 3.1% copper, 0.6% lead, 0.24% zinc, 74g/t silver and 0.015% molybdenum (true width unknown). South32 indicated that the upper and lower extents of the horizons tend to have polymetallic mineralization with the central component dominated by copper sulphides, predominantly chalcopyrite and mineralization within the stacked profile is approximately 130 meters thick, for an approximate 450 meter strike length and 300 meter width.
An updated JORC Code mineral resource estimate for Taylor was completed, with South32 noting that the Taylor resource remains open for expansion in multiple directions. EMX notes that this includes projections onto EMX’s Hardshell royalty property based upon drill intercepts of Taylor-style CRD mineralization.
Optimization of Taylor mine development took advantage of an accelerated FAST-41 permitting schedule.
The Taylor feasibility study was completed and the development of Taylor approved, including $2.16 billion in capital expenditures with first production expected in H2 FY2027.
South32 will follow-up on regional resource growth potential in 2024 with further drilling at the Peake prospect and other targets.
Scout Idaho Portfolio, Idaho, USA - In Q1 2023, EMX executed, via its wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration Inc. (“BCE”), definitive agreements to sell a) a portfolio of precious and base metal projects in Idaho acquired via staking between 2018-2022 and b) wholly-owned core drilling subsidiary, Scout Drilling LLC, to Scout Discoveries Corp ("Scout”), a private Idaho based company. In Q3 2023, Scout and EMX closed on an amended transaction for the sale of precious and base metal projects with amended terms that included a 19.9% equity position in Scout, carried through to a $5,000,000 capital raise (satisfied in December 2023), AAR payments for each project beginning upon the first anniversary, milestone payments and a retained 3.25% NSR royalty for each project, of which 1% can be bought down in two stages (0.5% for 600 gold ounces or the cash equivalent within eight years, and an additional 0.5% for 1,800 gold ounces or the cash equivalent before commercial production commences). In addition, Scout purchased Scout Drilling LLC to leverage low-cost in-house drilling to advance the portfolio of projects. Subsequently, Scout added the Cuddy Mountain porphyry copper project to its portfolio for consideration to EMX of additional Scout equity valued at $250,000 and the same commercial terms as noted above.
Scout commenced its exploration programs during 2023, including a Phase I core drilling program at the Erickson Ridge shear-hosted gold project. Erickson Ridge hosts a historical resource which is open in all directions with coincident geochemical/geophysical targets over more than 1.5 kilometers along strike. All five of Scout’s holes intersected gold mineralization

consistent with historical results (i.e., intercepts ranging from ~88 to 121 meters averaging ~0.5 to 1.2 g/t gold (true widths unknown).
Copper Warrior, Utah - EMX executed an option agreement for the Copper Warrior copper project in Utah with American West Metals Limited (ASX: AW1) (“American West”) in 2021. The agreement provided EMX with cash and share payments, as well as work commitments during American West’s earn-in period. Upon earn-in, EMX will retain a 2% NSR royalty and receive increasing AAR payments.
In 2023, American West completed a reconnaissance drill program consisting of nine reverse circulation holes totaling 867.16 meters that tested geophysical targets (see American West's “Quarterly Activities Report for the Period Ended December 2023” dated January 31, 2024). Three of the holes intersected zones of anomalous copper (silver) mineralization that included malachite (copper oxide) and fine, disseminated chalcopyrite (copper sulphide). Further drilling will be planned to test the highly prospective four kilometer strike length of the Lisbon Valley fault within the Copper Warrior project area.
Summary of Canadian Portfolio
At year-end, EMX’s portfolio in Canada contained 65 properties covering over 140,000 hectares of mineral and royalty ground held in Ontario, Québec, British Columbia and Manitoba. There are 44 partnered properties with a combination of royalties and/or ongoing cash payments, the majority of which are in the Red Lake District. Partners conducted multiple field programs during 2023, including drill programs on EMX’s royalty properties. EMX also has 21 properties available for partnership in the portfolio, with the company's programs advancing priority projects while also evaluating new royalty generation opportunities.
During 2023, EMX received C$245,000 in cash payments and C$57,000 in share equity payments while partners spent more than US$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures advancing the portfolio.
Summary of Chilean Portfolio
EMX’s early-stage porphyry copper/epithermal precious metals portfolio in Chile has seen a number of changes during the last several years due to poor market conditions. The portfolio now consists of a) seven royalty properties, b) 11 projects that were abandoned by partners and are now 100% controlled by EMX and available for partnership, and c) two projects (i.e., Block 2 and Limbo) that are marked for abandonment by EMX.
Highlights of Chilean Portfolio
Pampa Metals Corporation (CSE: PM, OTCQX: PMCF) (“Pampa”) completed a reconnaissance three-hole, 1,957 meter drill program at Block 4 to test coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies. All three holes intercepted narrow zones of anomalous copper, molybdenum, gold and silver mineralization indicative of the high levels of a porphyry copper system (see Pampa news releases dated June 5, and June 28, 2023). Subsequent to year-end, Pampa abandoned Block 4 with the property reverting to 100% EMX control and now available for partnership.
Summary of Northern Europe
EMX continued to advance its portfolio of projects in Northern Europe, acquiring new gold and battery metals projects totaling over 100,000 hectares in 2023. EMX also established new partnerships for seven EMX properties. EMX saw its highest levels of annual expenditures by partner companies on EMX royalty projects in Northern Europe with approximately US$15,000,000 spent by partners on early-stage exploration programs. EMX assisted with many of the partner-funded exploration and drilling programs in 2023 which created additional revenue streams in the form of management fees and cost recoveries. EMX is now working with its various partners to plan and execute additional exploration and drill programs in 2024.
Highlights of Northern Europe
Tomtebo, Sweden – On October 30, 2023, District Metals Corp (TSX-V: DMX) announced the execution of an Option Agreement with Boliden Mineral AB (STO:BOL) (“Boliden”), where Boliden will fund continued exploration and drilling on EMX’s Tomtebo polymetallic royalty property in the Bergslagen Mining Region of southern Sweden.

Vuostok, Sweden – Bayrock Resources Ltd. (an unlisted public Australian company) (“Bayrock”) conducted a 17 hole maiden drill program at EMX’s Vuostok battery metals royalty property in northern Sweden. Bayrock intersected magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulfide mineralization at shallow levels in eight of the 17 drill holes. Notable intercepts included drill hole VUO23011 with 6.2 meters averaging 1.2% Ni, 2.2% Cu, 0.04% Co from 11m downhole and drill hole VUO23013 with 6.9m averaging 1.2% Ni, 0.3% Cu, 0.05% Co from 5.1m downhole(see Bayrock news release dated September 20 2023). True widths not reported by Bayrock, but the mineralization at Vuostok is interpreted to be sub-horizontal, and thus the reported intercepts are likely close to true widths.
Stormyra, Espedalen, Norway – Kendrick Resources (LSE:KEN) (“Kendrick”) completed a 19 hole, 1,650 meter drill program at the Stormyra target on EMX’s Espedalen battery metals royalty property in central Norway. Notable intercepts included drill hole ESP2308 with 11.6 meters averaging 2.85% Ni, 1.04% Cu and 0.08% Co from an in-hole depth of 51 meters and 3.65 meters averaging 2.18% Ni, 0.77% Cu and 0.06% Co from an in-hole depth of 37.80 meters in hole ES2307. True widths not reported, but can be estimated at 70-80% according to published cross sections (see Kendrick news release dated May 4 2023). The program served to extend the drill define trend of nickel-copper sulfide mineralization to the south at the Stormyra prospect.
Mofjell, Norway – Mahvie Minerals (STO: MAHVIE) (“Mahvie”) conducted an 11 hole, 1,037 meter maiden drill program inside the workings of the historic Mofjell polymetallic underground mine in central Norway, an EMX royalty property. The Mjofell mine operated between 1928 and 1987 and produced 4.35 million tonnes at 3.61% Zn, 0.71% Pb, and 0.31% Cu (Bjerkgård, et. al (2013). The Mofjell Project: Summary and conclusions. NGU (Norwegian Geological Survey) Report 2013.048). Mahvie acquired the project from EMX in 2022 and has since executed exploration programs including the 2023 underground drill program. Mahvie intersected polymetallic sulfide mineralization in most of their drill holes. Notable intercepts include 16.94 meters averaging 5.00 % Zn, 0.35% Cu, 1.17% Pb, 15.87 g/t Ag and 0.29 g/t Au in drill hole MM003 from an in-hole depth of 76 meters (true widths not reported by Mahvie) (see Mahvie news release dated November 21 2023). EMX holds a 2.5% NSR royalty over the Mofjell project along with other considerations and an equity stake in Mahvie.
Summary of Australian Portfolio
EMX continued to execute its business model in Australia with several new agreements for EMX projects. This led to enhanced cash flow and recoveries for the calendar year 2023. EMX is now conducting additional reconnaissance programs to identify new projects for acquisition and partnership. Although EMX’s historic focus in Australia has been on gold projects, new partnerships at Copperhole Creek and Yarrol have diversified EMX’s royalty property exposures to include base metals and strategic commodities such as cobalt and manganese.
Highlights of Australian Portfolio
Copperhole Creek, Australia - The Company optioned the Copperhole Creek project in Queensland, Australia to Lumira Energy Limited (“Lumira”), a private Australian company in Q3 2023. Lumira exercised its option to acquire a 100% interest in the project in October 2023 with EMX retaining a 2.5% NSR royalty and other considerations. The Copperhole Creek prospect was drilled by BP Minerals in 1978 with two shallow reverse circulation drill holes, with a reported historical intercept of 12 meters of 3.27% Cu, 0.66% Zn, 0.26% Sn and 51 ppm Ag from 36 meters (true width not reported). Drilling was conducted by BP Mining Development Australia Pty Ltd in 1978 with results reported to the Queensland Geologic Survey in 1979 in a report titled Final Report on A.TO P.1806 (cr_7585.pdf). EMX has not performed sufficient work to verify the published assay results, and these data cannot be verified as being compliant with NI43-101 standards. EMX is not treating this data as current. However, EMX believes these results to be reliable and relevant. This drill intercept was never confirmed, however, EMX geologists have reported extensive expressions of copper mineralization in surface exposures throughout the area. EMX holds a 2.5% NSR royalty interest over the Copperhole Creek project along with other considerations including an equity stake in Lumira.
Yarrol, Queensland Australia - At the Yarrol project, in early 2023 EMX completed a 35 hole, 1,449 meter reconnaissance aircore drilling program targeting manganese-cobalt mineralization and completed a series of heavy mineral separation tests on selected drill samples. In April, 2023 EMX optioned the project to Many Peaks Minerals Ltd (ASX:MPK) (“MPK”) (then, Many Peaks Gold Ltd.) whom subsequently completed an 89 hole 2,585 meter aircore drill program which continued to target manganese-cobalt mineralization, a passive seismic survey and additional heavy mineral testwork. Results were summarized in MPK news releases dated May 25 and June 13 2023.
MPK also completed a five hole, 1,210 meter diamond drilling program targeting gold mineralization on the Yarrol gold project. Notable intercepts included 11.15 meters averaging 1.17 g/t Au in from an in-hole depth of 61 meters in drill hole YA188 and 16 meters averaging 0.75g/t Au from an in-hole depth of 42 meters in drill hole YAD189 at the True Blue prospect (see MPK news

releases dated August 29 2023 and January 29 2024). On August 29, 2023 MPK also reported additional sampling from drill hole DD22YA187, which had been drilled and reported by MPK in 2022. The intercepts reported in 2022 remained open and further sampling in 2023 led to a revised intercept of 40.8 meters averaging 2.80g/t Au from an in-hole depth of 38 meters (true widths not reported by operator) (see MPK news release dated September 29 2023).
MPK changed its name from "Many Peaks Gold Ltd" to Many Peaks Minerals Ltd in November 2023.
EMX holds a 2.5% NSR royalty over the Yarroll and Mt Steadman (see below) project areas along with other considerations as well as an equity stake in MPK.
Mt Steadman, Queensland Australia - MPK completed a two hole reverse circulation drill program at the Fitzroy gold prospect at Mt Steadman in addition to soil sampling and surface geochemistry programs. Results from the RC drill program included 8 meters averaging 2.63g/t Au from 8m drill depth in drill hole MS041 from an in-hole depth of 8 meters (true widths not reported by operator) (see MPK news release dated January 29 2024). The results represent a significant extension to the footprint of gold mineralisation at the Fitzroy prospect, with a more than 40% increase to the strike length of confirmed mineralisation on the project.
Koonenberry, Australia - Koonenberg Gold Ltd (ASX:KNB) ("KNB") completed exploration programs at EMX’s Koonenberry royalty property in New South Wales, Australia in 2023. The KNB programs targeted the Bellagio and Atlantis prospects, with results reported in news releases dated October 3, October 30 and December 12 2023. Significant drill intercepts included 10 meters averaging 1.61 g/t Au from an in-hole depth of 18 meters in drill hole 23BEAC002 (true widths not reported by operator)(see KNB news release dated October 3 2023). Thus far, drill defined quartz vein hosted mineralisation and visible gold have been defined over a broad 300m X 250m alteration zone at the Bellagio Prospect. EMX holds a 3% uncapped NSR royalty on the Koonenberry Gold project.
Summary of the Balkans and Morocco

Project Description, Location and Access
Caserones is located 162 km by road, southeast of Copiapó in the Atacama region of Chile, a well-established mining region. The closest large settlement is at Los Loros, 60 km northwest of Caserones. The Caserones Mine is accessible from Copiapó by road and there are regular scheduled flights to Copiapó from Santiago. The vertical relief in the Project area is very high with elevations ranging between 2,500 m and 5,500 m above sea level (masl). The mine is situated at the base of (the) highest peak in the area, Pt. Caserones at 5,505 masl. Elevations of the mine infrastructure vary from 3,200 m to 4,500 masl.

Lundin, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, holds a 51% majority interest in MLCC, the owner of Caserones. JX Nippon, together with certain of its affiliates, holds the remaining 49% interest. Lundin has the right to acquire up to an additional 19% interest in MLCC for $350 million over a five-year period commencing on July 13, 2024.
There is sufficient surface area for the open pit, waste rock storage facilities, plant, TSFs, associated infrastructure and other operational requirements for the life of mine plan contemplated in the Caserones Report.
The total mineral tenure consists of 291 mining concessions, covering a total area of 59,627.5 ha, all of which are located in the commune of Tierra Amarilla, Copiapó Province, Atacama Region. There are 257 exploitation concessions, covering approximately 55,672.5 ha. The remaining 34 concessions are exploration concessions, covering an area of 3,955 ha. The concessions and their expiration dates (if applicable) are set out in Item 4.3 of the Caserones Report.
The Caserones deposit and all the key Caserones infrastructure areas including the open pit, tailings storage facilities, and leach pads, are situated within the exploitation concession area. The exploitation concessions have an indefinite term. The only obligation under the Chilean Mining Code to maintain ownership of the exploitation concessions is to pay a “mining patent” fee of 1/10 UTM per ha. The annual total amount payable by MLCC under the Chilean Mining Code is approximately $400,000, subject to potential increases starting in 2025 pursuant to a recent law implemented at the end of 2023, known as N° 21.420. Caserones will have the option to request permission from the authorities to maintain the current amount, but there is no assurance that the authorities will approve Caserones’ request.
Exploration concessions have a duration of four years, with the possibility of a one-time renewal for an additional four year period if the title owner complies with the law requirements. At the end of the renewal period, to maintain rights, the concession, in part or in whole, must be converted to an exploitation concession. As with exploitation concessions, an annual mining patent fee must be made to keep the exploration concessions current over the granted terms. As of December 31, 2023, of the 34 exploration concessions, 32 have been fully granted and two are in the grant process.
MLCC holds two types of surface rights, located in the commune of Tierra Amarilla, province of Copiapó, Atacama Region:

a.property rights, covering 38,224 ha, which comprise the surface rights that allow mining activities on the surface land where the open pit, leach dump and waste dump are located; and
b.legal rights, consisting of 72 easements covering areas such as the power transmission line, water pipelines, and environmental commitments.
Approximately 28 km of the power transmission line and approximately 4 km of the proposed desalination water pipeline are not currently covered by easements and this omission is being rectified.
Annual taxes are payable on the surface rights under Chilean legislation (contribuciones), MLCC pays a total amount of approximately $600,000 per year.
A sliding-scale NSR which ranges from 1% to 2.88%, depending on the prevailing London Metal Exchange copper price at the time of payment, is payable on production from certain of the exploitation concessions covering an area of approximately 16,890 ha. The exploitation concessions that are subject to the royalty are also affected by a prohibition to sell and encumber granted in favour of the royalty holders. This prohibition will remain in force as long as the royalty remains as an MLCC obligation.
The property known as “Ramadilla del Norte y Potrero Grande”, which is the surface land on which the open pit is located, is subject to a mortgage constituted by MLCC in favour of Japan Bank for International Cooperation; Mizuho Corporate Bank, LTD; Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation; The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ LTD; and The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Tokyo Branch.
History
In January 1984, SMC California Uña de la Sierra Peña Negra & Compañia Minera Caserones carried out regional reconnaissance in the Andean range of Copiapó that included portions of the Caserones Mine area, and staked claims in the area. Between 1988 and 2000, four mining companies completed surface mapping of the Regalito prospect, initiating exploration by means of both reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD), including Compañia Minera Newmont Chile (Minera Newmont), Inversiones Mineras del Inca SA and Niugini Mining, BHP Chile Inc. and South American Gold and Copper Company.
Lumina Copper Canada conducted an exploration drilling and surface mapping campaign at the Caserones project (previously Regalito) between February 2004 and October 2004. A total of 32,189 m was drilled in 114 holes, of which 46 were DD. In parallel, the sample geology, geotechnical parameters and geochemistry were characterized. A mineral resource estimate was completed by Amec (2005). In 2006, as part of a due diligence evaluation, Pan Pacific Copper S.A. completed two twin drill holes to validate the 2004 drill campaign information. MLCC completed additional exploration programs between 2007–2009 to support the pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. In August 2009, MLCC completed a mineral resource estimate for Caserones, and open pit mining commenced in 2013.
In July 2023, Lundin acquired a 51% interest in Caserones from JX Nippon, which holds the remaining 49% interest.
Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Type
Regional, Local and Property Geology
The basement assemblage in the Caserones Mine area is a Carboniferous assemblage of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. This assemblage has been intruded by the Caserones Granite in the Upper Carboniferous and the El Colorado Granite in the Permo–Triassic. Overlying these units are Mesozoic volcanic assemblages and sedimentary rocks of the La Ternera, Quebrada Seca, and Monardes Formations. The Cenozoic is characterized by three volcanic assemblages, the Pircas Coloradas, Come Caballo, and Pulido Formations. During the Tertiary, several small stock-sized, porphyry intrusive bodies were emplaced.
The regional structure is characterized by a series of rigid blocks of granitic basement that occupy anticlinal cores that formed as a result of regional scale folding of the Mesozoic supracrustal sequences.
Mineralization

60

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
Alteration associated with the mineralization includes an older potassic zone, overprinted by phyllic alteration. An intense, texturally destructive silicification characterized by massive silica replacement in places, affects the central part of the deposit and may coincide locally with higher grade supergene copper mineralization.
The Caserones deposit is hosted in a monzogranite within the Caserones Granite. It is about 2,000 m long and has a width of approximately 1,500 m. The oxide and secondary copper zones form a surface parallel blanket over 1,200 m in diameter with a central “core” of at least 1,000 m in diameter where thicknesses average 300 m and exceed 400 m in the central part. The oxide zone forms a cap that sits on top of the secondary copper zone in the northwest margin of the deposit area. Flanking the oxide zone and overlying the supergene zone, is a zone of “leached” material. Primary copper mineralization remains open in all directions.
Copper mineralization consists of chalcanthite with subordinate chrysocolla, brochantite and minor amounts of malachite, azurite and antlerite in the oxide zone. Oxide minerals are predominantly fracture filling but can also occur as replacements of disseminated primary sulphides. In the supergene-enriched zone, the primary copper minerals are chalcocite and lesser covellite, forming disseminations or hairline veinlets. The leached zone contains only patchy, discontinuous copper mineralization. Primary sulphide mineralization generally comprises 2–5% sulphides, primarily pyrite, with lesser chalcopyrite, molybdenite, and bornite and rare sphalerite.
Molybdenite is present in all of the zones and generally occurs with quartz in veinlets and rarely as disseminated grains.
Deposit Types
The porphyry style mineralization at Caserones is a typical Andean porphyry copper/molybdenum deposit. A generic description from Pantaleyev (1995) summarizes the common features of porphyries as large zones of hydrothermally altered rock containing quartz veins and stockworks, sulphide-bearing veinlets, fractures, and lesser disseminations in areas up to 10 km2 in size, commonly coincident wholly or in part with hydrothermal or intrusion breccias and dike swarms. Deposit boundaries are determined by economic factors that outline ore zones within larger areas of low grade, concentrically zoned mineralization.
Exploration
Until 2011, exploration was limited to the area of the mine in support of pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. Initial prospecting, geophysical surveys and drilling was conducted on the Cerro Sur, Angelica and Caserones Sur prospects to the west and south of Caserones. Between 2011 and 2018, exploration activities were suspended during this period of mine operations. In 2019, exploration was reprised around the Caserones deposit and restarted on the Angelica prospect.
In 2021 and 2022, MLCC retained New Sense Spa, based in Santiago, to complete airborne magnetic surveys over two areas of the Caserones Project. The surveys were completed by helicopter, on 200 m spaced flight lines, with infill lines to 100 m spaced lines at the Angelica prospect, at a height of 100 m and 200 m above ground level. Two drilling campaigns were carried out in 2022-2023, in which 16 drillholes with a total of 6,653 m drilled.
Since the Caserones Transaction in July 2023, Lundin has secured drilling and geophysical contracts in preparation for the 2024 exploration season.
Drilling
Drilling from 2004 to 2023 comprised a total of 1,224 drill holes (206,081 m drilled), consisting of 815 RC holes (94,883 m drilled) and 374 diamond core holes (108,471 m drilled). Drilling from 2004 to 2022 supports the mineral resource estimate in the Caserones Report (drilling after 2022 is not included in estimation). Drilling and drill information prior to 2004 were excluded from estimation due to a lack of collar and downhole surveys, as well as the lack of QA/QC procedures.
Lithology, alteration, mineralogy, and mineral zone were routinely logged using abbreviations and very brief descriptions in 2004–2006. Geotechnical parameters logged included core recovery, rock hardness, rock quality designation (RQD), fracture frequency, fracture fill, and rock mass rating (RMR).
From 2007 to the effective date of the Caserones Report, drill logs have consisted of descriptions of the lithology, alteration, mineralization, and structure. Geotechnical logging captured in the geological database consists of core recovery, rock hardness, rock quality designation, fracture frequency, fracture fill and rock mass rating. All core was photographed.

Since the effective date of the Caserones Report, a total of 35 diamond drill holes totalling 7,352 m have been drilled. Drilling is generally representative of the mineralization, and drilled thicknesses approximate true thicknesses. All drill holes are within the resource model area. All drill holes have lithological and assay data available. The information was compared to the existing block model in the Caserones Report and determined to have a minimal effect on the average grade of the model.
The quantity and quality of the logged geological data, and the collar, and downhole survey data collected in the exploration and infill drill programs completed, are sufficient to support mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation and mine planning.
Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification
RC samples were collected on 2 m intervals at the drill using a cyclone. In certain areas where water was a problem, a rotary wet splitter was used. The entire sample is riffle split into quarters, where one quarter is bagged for sample analysis, one quarter (at roughly every 20 samples) is bagged as a field duplicate, and the remaining is sent for storage at Carrizalillo. The quarter split for assay analysis is weighed, identified, and recorded prior to being sent for analysis.
After the core is logged, it is sent to the core sampling facility and split using a hydraulic splitter. The half core sample is taken from the left side of the core and placed into a sample bag; and the half core from the right side is placed back in the core tray. A sample tag with a unique number is placed in the sample bag, and the sample number written on the bag. The core tray with the half core is weighed again to compare to the original weight. All details are recorded prior to shipping of the samples.
Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in La Serena, Chile was used for RC and core sample preparation and analysis from 2000–2006. At the time, the laboratory held ISO/IEC 17025 accreditations. Sample security at Actlabs consisted of placing the samples in the lockable sample preparation facility. SGS Minerals, Copiapó, was used for RC and core sample preparation and analysis from 2007–2017. The laboratory holds ISO 14001 and NCh-ISO17065:2013 accreditations. Currently, grade control samples are assayed at Bureau Veritas in Copiapó, which holds ISO/IEC 27001:2013 accreditations. All three laboratories are independent of Lundin and MLCC.
Depending on the laboratory, samples were crushed to 95% passing 10 mesh and pulverized to 95% passing 150 mesh (RC) or passing 10 mesh (core). Analytical methods consisted of acid digestion followed by atomic absorption readings for total copper (CuT), acid-soluble copper (CuAS), cyanide-soluble copper (CuCNS), and molybdenum. Density determinations were conducted in 2004–2008 using the wet/dry method.
QA/QC procedures used from 2004 onwards include submission of blanks, duplicates, and CRMs in the sample stream. The Caserones Report authors’ review of the results indicated no material issues arising from the QA/QC programs.
Drill core is stored at a secure site on core racks at the Carrizalillo base camp, which is fenced and guarded. The Caserones Report authors verified the data in their respective areas of expertise. Data verification included site visits.
The Caserones Report authors are of the opinion that the data are considered acceptable to support mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates and can be used for mine planning purposes.
Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing
The Caserones solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) plant started producing cathodes early in 2013 while the mineral processing facility has been producing copper and molybdenum concentrates since 2014. Ore feed grade has historically averaged 0.37% Cu to the flotation plant (concentrator) and 0.24% Cu to the dump leach. Primary and secondary sulphide ores are generally fed to the flotation plant and oxides mixed with some secondary sulphides are directed to the dump leach area. LOM projection of copper feed grade is expected to be 0.13-0.25% Cu to the dump leach and 0.31%-0.44% Cu to the flotation circuit.
Average monthly copper concentrate grade from the flotation circuit was 30.8% in 2023. The LOM projection for copper concentrate grade is expected to be 28-32% Cu, with the lower end of this range reflecting the gradual increase in the amount of primary mineralization (carrying mostly chalcopyrite as the copper-bearing mineral) as plant feed.
Historical overall copper recovery for the flotation circuit has been in the range of 80–85% and approximately 54% for the dump leach. Average overall plant copper recoveries in 2022 and 2023 were 88% and 86.1%, respectively. The projected LOM copper recovery for the flotation plant ranges between 82-86% and dump leach has been fixed at 53.7%.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
Projected molybdenum production is based on a 53–218 ppm Mo head grade, a fixed 50% Mo concentrate grade and recovery value in the range of 52%–74%, depending on initial Mo grades and Mo circuit utilization. In 2023, actual average monthly molybdenum recovery was 68.9% at a 53.0% Mo concentrate grade.
Samples selected for metallurgical testing were representative of the various types and styles of mineralization within the different zones and originated from a range of locations within the deposit zones. Samples were taken so that tests were performed on sufficient sample mass.
There are certain minor areas of the orebody that were identified as containing increased levels of antimony, arsenic, and mercury, which can lead to higher contents in the copper concentrate.
Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates
In order to estimate the mineral resource at Caserones, mineralization, lithology, and alteration models were constructed using bench/plans spaced at 15 m intervals. A review of the available data resulted in definition of 14 domains.
The mineral resource estimate is based on open pit mining methods and are constrained by an optimized pit which is based on copper and molybdenum block value cut-off. The authors of the Caserones Report reviewed the estimation methodologies, classification criteria and Mineral Resource reporting. The mineral resource estimate was prepared using Maptek Vulcan® software using industry standard techniques and in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards.
Density was estimated by mineralized zone using inverse distance squared interpolation, in a single pass. Lithology types were considered to be hard boundaries for the estimation. Lithologies with insufficient data to interpolate were assigned fixed density values. mineral resources were classified using a combination of drill hole spacing, number of drill holes and kriging variance. Mineral Resources are reported within an optimized constraining shell.
Mineral reserves have been estimated for Caserones assuming open pit methods with conventional methods for drilling, blasting, loading and haulage by large trucks. The basis for the mineral reserve estimate is the ore grade material contained within a set of operational phase designs currently being used at the site to guide mining operations. The phase designs include phases 5 through 10. Phases 5, 6 and 7 are the active phases. Phases 1–4 are mined out.
Mineral reserves are reported based on calculated block values with blocks routed to the process that generates the greatest revenue. In the case where material does not generate positive revenue in either of the processes (dump leach or concentrator), it is routed as waste.
Mineral reserves include consideration of mining, processing, general and administrative, and smelting, refining and transport costs.
See “Mineral Properties – Producing Royalties – Caserones, Chile” for the estimates of the mineral resource and mineral reserve at Caserones as of December 31, 2023.
Factors which may affect the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates include metal price and exchange rate assumptions; changes to the assumptions used to generate the copper grade cut-off grade; changes in local interpretations of mineralization geometry and continuity of mineralized zones; changes to geological and mineralization shape and geological and grade continuity assumptions; variations in density and domain assignments; geometallurgical and oxidation assumptions; changes to geotechnical, mining and metallurgical recovery assumptions; change to the input and design parameter assumptions that pertain to the conceptual pit constraining the estimate; changes to input cost assumptions; and assumptions as to the continued ability to access the site, retain mineral and surface rights titles, maintain environment and other regulatory permits, and maintain the social license to operate.
Mining Operations
Caserones is a large low-grade copper-molybdenum mine with a low waste to ore strip ratio. Caserones is an operating mine with mature mining practices. Mining is conducted via open pit methods, using a conventional truck and shovel fleet. The fleet is managed via a mine dispatch system. All equipment is operated locally.
There are six mine phases in the 2024 LOM plan, phases 5–10 (inclusive). Phases 1–4 are mined out. Phases 5, 6 and 7 are currently active phases. The phase designs are based on the optimized pit shells with the highest value material mined in the

63

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
earlier phases and lower-grade higher strip ratio material mined in later phases. Each phase was designed with double ramp access where possible.
A maximum vertical extraction of 10 benches or a maximum movement of 60 Mt ton per year is considered as a restriction for each phase. The concentrator was scheduled at 31.8 Mt in 2023, with the ability to ramp up beyond 35 Mt by 2027 (as determined by Lundin following the date of the Caserones Report). Oxide material is placed on the dump leach in the period in which that material is mined.
Bench design is driven by kinematics and stability of inter-ramps and final walls are driven by the quality of the lithologic model, the shear strength or rock mass strength as assessed using limit equilibrium. Key inputs to those analyses are the quality of the rock strength database, the rock quality database, the joint/fault strength database, the structural model (joints and faults) and the hydrogeologic model (pore pressures and dewatering).
Caserones operates 33 (300 t) haul trucks loaded by a combination of two electric rope shovels, one electric-hydraulic shovel, and two large front-end loaders. In addition to the mine-owned fleet, a second smaller diesel shovel (38yd3) is operated by a contractor to supplement loading capacity.
Processing and Recovery Operations
The Caserones mineral processing facility uses a conventional process flowsheet and conventional equipment. The facility currently treats copper oxides and sulphides via two treatment routes. Run-of-mine oxide ore is treated via a conventional dump leach. Pregnant leach solution from the dump leach is treated at a SX-EW plant to produce copper cathodes. Run-of-mine sulphide ore is treated via a conventional primary gyratory crusher and SAG-ball comminution circuit followed by a flotation circuit to produce separate copper and molybdenum concentrates. Flotation tailings are cycloned before storing the cyclone underflow and overflow in separate tailings sands and tailings fines management facilities, respectively.
The processing facilities have been in commercial operation since 2013. The grinding-flotation plant has treated on average 3,700-4,460 tph of operation in 2023, with a design capacity of 4,750 tph. The SX-EW plant has a nominal capacity of 34.5 ktpa.
The processing facilities historically produced approximately 100–120 ktpa copper concentrate, 1,700–2,500 tpa molybdenum concentrate and approximately 25 ktpa of copper cathodes. The copper concentrator treated 31.8 Mt in 2023. Ongoing improvements in plant availability and utilization coupled with mine-to-mill efforts will improve the fragmentation obtained from blasting and that plant throughput could ramp up beyond 35 Mt by 2027 (as determined by Lundin following the date of the Caserones Report).
The LOM schedule shows that the proportion of the plant feed made up of primary ore mineralization content will be generally increasing through the LOM. There will be a higher proportion of near-surface supergene ore available at the start of a new pushback, which will be followed by periods of mining mostly from the primary ore.
Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities
Caserones is an operating mine with well established infrastructure. The infrastructure includes waste rock facilities, dump leach and SX-EW facilities, truck shop, wash bay, fuel stations, explosive facilities, El Tambo and La Brea TSFs, camps and accommodations, power infrastructure, reagents storage facilities; administration building; mine and mill office building; sulphide concentrator (crushing, grinding, Cu and Mo flotation circuits), and an assay/metallurgical laboratory.
The camp is located 41 km from the active mine area (approximately one hour by bus) and is equipped for accommodation for 2,450 people with an occupancy rate between 80% to 90%. The mine roads are maintained by contract. The contractor provides both equipment and personnel.
Caserones is connected to Chile’s national grid via a 190 km double circuit 220 kV line which connects to the Maitencillo substation near Vallenar, close to the main north-south high voltage corridor. Power is supplied under a long-term contract to 2037.
The processing facility has fresh (raw) water and reclaimed water systems. Reclaimed water from the various thickener overflows is collected in a reclaimed water pond and reused in the plant. Reclaimed water from the tailings management facilities is also reused as process water, through this pond. Approximately 80% of process water is reclaimed water.

The Caserones fresh water supply comes from a wellfield connected to the Copiapó river basin. Water consumption in 2023 was approximately 365 l/s on average. Caserones has a 518 l/s water usage permit and 1,280.5 l/s of water rights.
Tailings are managed in two separate facilities. The La Brea TSF, located about 9 km west of the flotation plants, receives the fine fraction of the tailings. The coarse fraction of the tailings is sent to the El Tambo sand stacking facility immediately downstream to the south of the flotation plants.
The La Brea TSF is a valley tailings facility with one embankment (Main Dam). The Main Dam is constructed following the downstream construction method. The La Brea TSF also includes a tailings distribution system, non-contact water diversion channels, and a contact water recovery system. The Main Dam is constructed with permeable, compacted rockfill sourced from a nearby quarry. A transition layer and geomembrane/geotextile liner are placed on the upstream slope of the dam. The drainage system underlying the Main Dam comprises multiple lateral drains connected to a main drain. The purpose of these drains is to collect seepage from the tailings impoundment and direct this seepage to the reclaimed water recovery system. The La Brea TSF design includes a 5 m freeboard to manage the supernatant pond and to store the probable maximum precipitation extreme flood event inclusive of wind and wave run-up, and seismic settlement. The maximum credible earthquake for the La Brea TSF corresponds to an intraplate earthquake with 8.5 moment magnitude and a peak ground acceleration of 0.44 g. The La Brea TSF receives cyclone overflow thickened tailings at about 60% solids content. The thickened tailings are transported by gravity flow through pipelines and an open channel to a distribution box. From this box, tailings are discharged to the TSF through five main points. The La Brea TSF is authorized to provide 478 Mt of tailings storage capacity. The current phase under construction is Stage 10 with a design crest elevation of 2,927 m. The Stage 14 final design (crest elevation of 2,979 m) will provide tailings storage capacity until around 2036. Stages 15 and 16 (crest elevation of 3,005 m) have been requested to meet the LOM tailings storage requirements and are currently under the environmental authority’s evaluation. Conceptual design evaluations have been completed for the La Brea TSF up to 2050. The current La Brea TSF closure plan concept includes a dry cover graded to direct storm water through a spillway designed to conduct extreme flood events.
The coarse fraction of the tailings is sent to the El Tambo sand stacking facility where tailings are spiggotted in paddock style cells, allowed to drain, and then spread and compacted to achieve density specifications. The El Tambo TSF includes a starter dam (i.e., toe berm), drainage system, collection pond and a cut-off trench. The current approved design includes a maximum stack height of 300 m and final estimated total area of 300 ha. The El Tambo TSF is authorized to provide 570 Mt of tailings storage capacity.
Chile has a comprehensive regulatory framework in place governing both environmental approvals and associated construction and operating permits. The Environmental Impact Evaluation System (Sistema de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental, or SEIA) is administered by the Environmental Evaluation Service (Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental, or SEA), an arm of the Environment Ministry (Ministerio del Medio Ambiente, or MMA).
The original EIA was approved in 2010 and included baseline and supporting environmental studies (including soil, water, waste, air, noise, and closure), as well as potential project impacts and the respective reparation or compensation measures. Additional environmental evaluations were completed to change or adjust certain Project aspects. An Environmental and Social Management System was put in place in 2018 to monitor all commitments during the construction and operational stages, which has been updated as needed to reflect changes to the environmental, permitting, and social aspects that Caserones has undergone.
Caserones has most of the permits required for the LOM plan until 2037. There is one EIA currently in process and eventually other EIAs may be required. The Project Environmental Qualification Resolution (RCA) expires in 2037. As the LOM plan extends to 2042, a new RCA must be obtained to support the operations beyond 2037.
The current EIA in process considers the regularization of the infiltration control system (14 recovery wells) in the ravine La Brea and confluence with the Ramadillas river; design adjustments to the La Brea deposit and minor adjustments to installations that have been or will be carried out and which must have environmental approval. The EIA is currently in the process of evaluation (Addendum No. 3). The Environmental Qualification Resolution is expected to be obtained during the first half of 2024.
There are no communities within the Caserones footprint area or its immediate surroundings. There are, however, indigenous communities within the Caserones area of influence. Caserones has good working relationships with most local communities and the Caserones Mine has successfully operated without any major community issues since it was constructed.

Timok Royalty
The Company has royalties on properties in eastern Serbia's Timok Magmatic Belt (the “Timok Project”). These royalty interests include an uncapped 0.3625% NSR royalty on the Timok Project's Brestovac license covering the Cukaru Peki Upper Zone copper-gold mining operation and the Lower Zone porphyry copper-gold resource project (the “Timok Royalty”). Zijin controls 100% of the Timok Project.
EMX considers the Timok Project's Brestovac royalty property containing the Cukaru Peki Upper Zone and Lower Zone projects to be a property material to the Company for the purposes of NI 43-101. On March 31, 2022, EMX filed the Timok Technical Report under its profile on SEDAR+.
The following description of the Timok Project's Upper Zone Mine and Lower Zone resource project, and the NSR royalty interest of EMX with respect to the Timok Project is a direct reproduction of the summary from the Timok Technical Report, and accordingly, the Timok Technical Report is hereby incorporated by reference into this AIF.
"Introduction
EMX Royalty Corporation ("EMX" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: EMX; NYSE American: EMX) is required by Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") to prepare and file with certain Canadian securities commissions a Technical Report on the Timok Project (the "Project" or "Timok Project") with respect to its royalties on future production from the Project. The Project is located in the Bor District of eastern

Serbia and is owned and operated by Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. ("Zijin"), a publicly traded company listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
EMX's royalty on the Project initially resulted from prospect generation and organic royalty growth via the 2006 sale of its properties, including Brestovać West, to Reservoir Capital Corp. ("Reservoir Capital"), for uncapped net smelter return ("NSR") royalties of 2% for gold and silver and 1% for all other metals. Reservoir Capital later transferred those interests to Reservoir Minerals Inc. ("Reservoir Minerals"). Subsequently, EMX acquired 0.5% NSR royalty interests covering the Brestovać and Durlan Potok properties (EMX news releases, February 4, 2014 and October 5, 2020), which along with Brestovać West, are included in the Timok Project controlled by Zijin.
Thus, this amended and restated Technical Report has been prepared by Kevin Francis of Mineral Resource Management LLC ("MRM") for EMX which holds royalty interests (not direct ownership) in the Project. This Technical Report is dated March 25, 2022 and amends and restates the original Report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report - Timok Copper-Gold Project Royalty, Serbia" dated February 26, 2021 and with an effective date of June 19, 2018. This amended and restated Technical Report: a) corrects improper units in Tables 1-3 and 15-1.
Mining companies are not (typically) required to, and as a matter of practice, do not normally disclose detailed information to companies that hold a royalty interest in their operations unless legally or contractually mandated to do so. Zijin has not made any information available to EMX despite several requests. Therefore, access to information and details regarding the Project is limited to what is available in the public domain.
Pursuant to Part 9.2(2) of NI 43-101, the qualified person ("QP") preparing a technical report on Form 43-101F1 for an issuer that only has a royalty interest in a mineral project is not required to perform an onsite visit of the Project, nor is the QP required to complete those items under Form 43-101F1 that require data verification or inspection of documents. EMX is relying on the exemption available under Part 9.2(2) of NI 43-101 for the completion of this Technical Report.
All dollar amounts stated in this document are United States Dollars.
Location and Access
The Timok Project is located in eastern Serbia on a gently rolling plateau between 300 and 400 meters above sea level and has a moderate-continental climate. It occurs 5 kilometers south of the town of Bor, which is a regional administrative and mining center located approximately 250 kilometers by road southeast of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The site is favorably located for mining infrastructure (road, rail, power, water) and nearby the recently upgraded copper smelter complex in Bor. The Universal Transverse Mercator System (UTM) coordinates (the World Geodetic System, 1984) of the approximate center of the Čukaru Peki deposit are 4874888 N and 590706 E (UTM zone 34).
Description of State Royalty and EMX's Royalties
The Serbian government collects a royalty of 5% NSR for metallic raw materials (per the "Guide for Investors", Ministry of Natural Resources, Mining and Spatial Planning, 2011). Additional royalties that are due, such as EMX's royalty interests, are individually negotiated for each mineral permit.
EMX's Royalties
EMX's Brestovać Royalty. The Brestovać royalty was originally granted to Euromax by Reservoir Capital via a royalty agreement (the "Royalty Agreement") executed in 2010. EMX acquired Euromax's NSR royalty interests in 2013 (EMX news release, February 4, 2014).
As a subsequent event to the publication of the NI-43-101 Technical Report in 2022, EMX and Zijin executed a modified and restated royalty agreement in September 2023 where EMX now retains an uncapped 0.3625% NSR royalty over:

Other EMX Timok Royalty Properties. The Company also has two additional Timok royalty properties, including Brestovać West and Durlan Potok.
Brestovać West is covered by NSR royalties of 2% for gold and silver and 1% for all other metals. Brestovać West contains the Corridor Zone gold prospect and occurs directly west of Brestovać.
Durlan Potok is covered by a 0.3625% NSR royalty and occurs in the Timok Belt approximately 20 kilometers north of Brestovać and Čukaru Peki.
History
The earliest known historic exploitation (copper mining and smelting) occurred as early as 5500 BC, and continued during the Bronze Age and Roman era. In the late 19th century, prospecting in the Bor District led to the discovery of the copper and gold-rich Coka Dulkan and Tilva Ros deposits in 1902 with mining commencing in 1907 and continuing until 1941. Known historical exploitation in the Timok Project area of Brestovać-Metovnica was trial mining of copper and zinc mineralization in the 1930's.
The Bor mines and smelter were rehabilitated after the Second World War and operated to the 1990s by the Yugoslav State, and then later by the state- owned RTB Bor. During this period a number of significant porphyry and high-sulfidation ("HS")

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
epithermal deposits were discovered in the Bor District and put into production. The Timok Project mineralization had not yet been recognized. During 1990-2002, due to the political uncertainty and conflict in the former Yugoslavia, no significant mineral exploration was undertaken, although the Serbian government did issue exploration permits and concessions in 2002.
By 2004, mineral exploration activities in the Timok area were reinitiated with the arrival of western companies including Phelps Dodge (now Freeport), Eurasian Minerals (now EMX), Euromax and Dundee. Reservoir Minerals acquired Eurasian Minerals' Serbia exploration assets in 2006, which led to EMX's current Brestovac West retained royalty interests.
Significant exploration work on the Project commenced with the formation of the Reservoir/Freeport JV in 2010. JV field work during 2010-2016 included geological mapping, geochemical surveys, and geophysical surveys (e.g., CSAMT, etc.). These surveys covered target areas where Miocene sediments overlie the concealed and prospective Upper Cretaceous volcanic rocks that host mineralization in the Bor District. The CSAMT data contributed significantly to the discovery of the Upper Zone mineralization, which was announced on July 16, 2012 by Reservoir Minerals.
After acquiring a 55% equity interest under the JV agreement, Freeport gave notice to Reservoir Minerals in July 2012 that it had elected to sole fund expenditures through the completion of a feasibility study. JV drilling through 2016 carried out on the Upper Zone (59,333 m) and Lower Zone (42,380 m) deposits resulted in an historical Upper Zone resource estimate in 2014 that was updated in 2016 as a PEA. These historical mineral resources established a basis from which subsequent mineral resource estimates evolved. The historical estimates are superseded by the current Zijin estimates presented in this Technical Report.
In 2016, Reservoir announced a definitive agreement with Nevsun to combine their respective companies (Reservoir news release, April 24, 2016). This triggered the exercise by Reservoir of its right of first offer ("ROFO") in respect of the Timok JV agreement with Freeport. As a result, Reservoir acquired Freeport's interest in the Upper Zone of Čukaru Peki (thereby consolidating 100% control), and increased its interest in the Lower Zone (Reservoir news release, May 2, 2016). Nevsun closed the acquisition of Reservoir as announced in a June 23, 2016 news release.
In 2017, Nevsun reported an updated PEA for the Upper Zone with measured and indicated resources of 28.7 million tonnes averaging 3.7% copper and 2.4 g/t gold, and inferred resources of 13.9 million tonnes averaging 1.6% copper and 0.9 g/t gold at a Resource NSR cutoff of US$35/tonne (based upon $3.49/lb Cu, $1,565/oz Au, and technical and economic parameters given in the PEA study) (Nevsun news release, October 26, 2017 and SEDAR filed technical report titled "Technical Report for a Preliminary Economic Assessment Update for the Timok Project, Republic of Serbia" with an effective date of September 1, 2017 and report date of November 27, 2017 authored by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.). Site preparation activities in 2017 advanced the construction of a portal and exploration decline.
In 2018, an Upper Zone PFS was completed by Nevsun with a probable mineral reserve of 27 million tonnes at 3.3% copper and 2.1 g/t gold based upon metal prices of $3.00 per pound copper and $1,300 per ounce gold (Nevsun news release, March 28, 2018). Subsequently, an initial inferred resource estimate was announced for the Lower Zone porphyry project at a $25/tonne "dollar equivalent" cutoff of 1.659 billion tonnes averaging 0.86% copper and 0.18 g/t gold (Nevsun news release, June 26, 2018 and SEDAR filed Technical Report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report - Timok Copper- Gold Project, Serbia: Upper Zone Prefeasibility Study and Resource Estimate for the Lower Zone" with an effective date of June 19, 2018 and report date of August 7, 2018 authored by Hatch, SRK, and Knight Piesold).The mining method was assumed to be by block cave.
The mineral resource and reserve estimates by previous operator Nevsun are relevant. They use mineral resource and reserve categories as defined in the CIM Definition Standards (and by extension NI 43-101) and can be relied upon. The Nevsun mineral resource and reserve estimates provided the basis for Zijin's re-statement of current mineral resource and reserve estimates in its 2020 Annual Report.
Late in 2018, Nevsun announced that an offer by Zijin to purchase Nevsun had been successful (Nevsun news release, December 28, 2018). This provided Zijin with 100% control of the Upper Zone, and a joint venture interest with Freeport on the Lower Zone. In December, 2019 Zijin purchased Freeport's remaining 54% interest in the Lower Zone porphyry (Zijin news releases, November 3, 2019 and December 30, 2019). The end result of Zijin's acquisition activities from 2018-2019 was to consolidate 100% control of the Timok Project, which included the Cukaru Peki deposit's Upper and Lower Zones.
To date, there has been no significant production registered from the Brestovać - Metovnica permit or other Project permits.

Geology and Mineral Resource Estimates
Čukaru Peki is a copper-gold deposit comprised of two different types of mineralization - the high sulfidation style Upper Zone ("UZ") and the porphyry style Lower Zone ("LZ"). The deposit is located within the central zone (or Bor District) of the Timok Magmatic Complex. The Timok Magmatic Complex is located within the central segment of the Late Cretaceous Apuseni-Banat-Timok-Srednogorie magmatic belt in the Carpatho-Balkan region of southern-eastern Europe. The Apuseni- Banat- Timok-Srednogorie belt forms part of the western segment of the Tethyan Magmatic and Metallogenic Belt, which lies along the southern Eurasian continental margin and extends over 1,000 km from Hungary, through the Apuseni Mountains of Romania, to Serbia and Bulgaria and on to the Black Sea.
The Mineral Resource estimates for the Upper Zone and Lower Zone were reported in Zijin's 2020 Annual Report issued on April 28, 2021. The estimates reported by Zijin and set forth in Tables 1-1 and 1-2 have been conformed to the requirements of NI 43-101.
The 2020 Mineral Resource statement reported by Zijin for the Upper Zone of the Čukaru Peki deposit is shown in Table 1-1. The Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

Status of Development and Operations
Zijin has not provided public technical disclosure on the Timok Project regarding mining, economic analysis or other development considerations. However, there are relevant public disclosures that provide general context for the pace of development, expected production scope, and timing for production. In MRM's opinion, these disclosures provide important context for an overall understanding of EMX's Upper Zone royalty asset.
On April 22, 2020 International Mining published on their website the following regarding initial production at the Project. "CPM Consulting, which has a supervisory role at the massive Timok copper-gold project for Zijin Bor Copper, the Serbian unit of China's Zijin Mining Group, says the operation will produce 3.3 Mt/y (10,000 t/d) of ore from the Čukaru Peki Upper Zone mine. The operation also represents the first big European project for Chinese mining contractor JCHX, which set up local company JCHX Kinsey Mining Construction doo Bor to manage the mine construction. JCHX has been busy sinking the ventilation shaft at the site and developing the main decline. First copper from the Upper Zone mine is still expected by end 2021."
Zijin stated in a news release, dated June 16, 2021, that they "recently obtained the trial production permit for the processing facilities issued by the Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy, and have entered the trial production stage. At present, the construction of the processing facilities of the project has been completed, and trial production and operation, construction conclusion and greening, etc. are being conducted at full speed. It is planned that all work of the trial production stage shall be completed for submission to the Ministry of Mining for acceptance check before September of this year. This will achieve a smooth transition from mine infrastructure construction to production and operation."
MRM does not have the data or supporting information to independently verify the disclosures above, but believes that they were accurate and not misleading at the time of disclosure.
Conclusions and Recommendations
MRM is unaware of any significant factors or risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability for Zijin to advance the Timok Upper Zone development project to production, or of continuing to explore the Lower Zone resource project. The Upper Zone and Lower Zone are both covered by EMX royalty interests.
MRM recommends that EMX continue to request all current information related to the Timok Project from Zijin Mining Group to allow for an independent evaluation of the Project."
Gediktepe Royalties
The Company has NSR royalties (the “Gediktepe Royalties”) on the Gediktepe Mine development project in western Türkiye (the “Gediktepe Mine”), which is operated by Lidya Madencilik (Polimetal), a private Turkish company.
EMX considers that the Gediktepe Royalties is a property material to the Company for the purposes of NI 43-101. On March 31, 2022, EMX filed the Gediktepe Technical Report under its profile on SEDAR+.

The following description of the Gediktepe Mine and the royalty interest of EMX with respect to the Gediktepe Mine is a direct reproduction of the summary from the Gediktepe Technical Report, and accordingly, the Gediktepe Technical Report is hereby incorporated by reference into this AIF.
"Introduction
EMX Royalty Corporation (TSX Venture: EMX; NYSE American: EMX) ("EMX" or the "Company") entered into an agreement (the "Royalty Purchase Agreement") dated July 29, 2021, with SSR Mining Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries ("SSR Mining") to purchase a portfolio of royalty interests and deferred payments (the "Royalty Portfolio"). The Royalty Portfolio includes the Gediktepe Project Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalties (the "Gediktepe Royalties") on the oxide and sulfide mineralized zones of the Gediktepe polymetallic massive sulfide project in Western Turkey (the "Project"). The Project became material to EMX upon closing of the purchase of the Royalty Portfolio on October 21, 2021. EMX is required by Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") to prepare a Technical Report on the Project with respect to the Gediktepe Royalties.
EMX holds royalty interests (not direct ownership) in the Project. Mining companies are not (typically) required to, and as a matter of practice do not normally disclose detailed information to companies that hold a royalty interest in their operations unless legally or contractually mandated to do so. EMX has requested all the current technical data from the private Turkish operator, Polimetal Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. ("Polimetal"), in order to conduct a detailed independent assessment of Gediktepe for this Technical Report. However, EMX has not yet received this data, and according to the underlying royalty agreement, does not have data rights beyond onsite reviews. EMX will continue to request the Project data directly from Polimetal.
There have been two previous Technical Reports describing the Project filed on SEDAR: the first is titled "Technical Report - Prefeasibility Study - Gediktepe Project, Balıkesir Province, Turkey" with an effective date of June 1, 2016 ("PFS16") prepared by Resource Development Inc., SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc. and Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. for Alacer Gold Corp. ("Alacer") and Polimetal, and the second is titled "Gediktepe Prefeasibility Study" ("PFS19") dated April 3, 2019 with an effective date of March 26, 2019 prepared by OreWin Pty. Ltd. ("OreWin") for Alacer. These reports document the outcome of PFS-level technical work on Gediktepe's oxide and sulfide polymetallic mineralized zones performed on behalf of Polimetal, which was owned 50% by Lidya Madencilik San. ve Tic. A.Ş., a private Turkish company ("Lidya"), and 50% by Alacer, formerly a reporting issuer in Canada. The Project and Polimetal are now 100% controlled by Lidya. Lidya has also provided EMX with a 2020 internal report titled "Gediktepe Project Oxide Technical Report" ("TR20") with an effective date of March 1, 2020. The TR20 report was largely taken from PFS19, although updates and refinements to the oxide processing flowsheet were proposed. Unless otherwise specified, the contents of this Technical Report have been excerpted from, or based upon, the aforementioned PFS16, PFS19, and TR20 reports. In addition, information and Project updates verbally communicated by Lidya during two onsite field visits were noted, and where appropriate, used to provide more recent context for the status of the Project. For simplicity in this document, references to Lidya also refer to Polimetal, the operating entity, when citing information dated after July 2019, when Lidya acquired 100% interest in Polimetal.
Property Description and Ownership
The Gediktepe Project is located in the Balıkesir province of Western Turkey (Figure 1-1). The UTM Zone 35N, European Datum coordinates of the approximate center of the Project are 636,000E, 4,358,000N.

Figure 1-1: Project Area Location Map
EMX completed the purchase of the Gediktepe Royalties based upon the terms and conditions of the Royalty Purchase Agreement with SSR Mining and certain of its subsidiaries to purchase the Royalty Portfolio. The Royalty Portfolio included the Gediktepe Royalties consisting of: (i) a perpetual 10% NSR royalty over metals produced from the oxide zone (predominantly gold and silver) after cumulative production of 10,000 gold-equivalent oxide ounces; and (ii) a perpetual 2% NSR royalty over metals produced from the sulfide zone (predominantly copper, zinc, lead, silver, and gold), payable after cumulative production of 25,000 gold-equivalent sulfide ounces (gold equivalent as referenced from the 2019 Share Purchase Agreement between Alacer and Lidya).
The following Project license and permits have been confirmed as being current and in good standing.
The General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs (GDMPA) approved the merging of Operating License (OL) 20054077 and Exploration License (EL) 201400291 into one OL (RN 85535) on July 29, 2016. RN 85535 is valid until June 23, 2036. The Gediktepe OL (RN 85535) covers a total area of 1,486.99 ha and is held by Polimetal (now wholly owned by Lidya).
On February 21, 2018, the GDMPA also approved Polimetal's application for a production permit for clay and aggregate for three locations within RN 85535.
The Gediktepe mining licenses do not have any associated royalties to a third party other than EMX's Gediktepe Royalties and a government royalty, which consists of royalty rates defined by commodity and metal price.
As of the effective dates of the PFS19 and TR20 reports, a series of final permits were pending in anticipation of a follow-on Feasibility Study and initiation of construction. However, it is known from site visits conducted by DAMA in 2021 that Project construction and initial mining of the oxide phase of the Project had commenced, implying that the necessary permits had been received.
To DAMA's knowledge, there are no significant factors or risks that may affect access, title, or the right ability to perform work on the Project, and by extension Lidya's ability to meet its royalty payment obligations to EMX.
Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography
The Project is located 67 km (air distance) southeast of Balıkesir Province center and 38 km east-southeast of the Bigadiç township. It is accessed along 102 km of paved road from the city of Balıkesir (population 1,189,075) on highway D555 through

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
the town of Bigadiç (population 48,470). The closest settlements to the Gediktepe Project site are the Hacıömerderesi neighborhood, the Aşıderesi neighborhood, affiliated with the Hacıömerderesi neighborhood, and the Meyvalı neighborhood.
The terrain at the Project is mountainous with steep erosional valleys. Elevations in the Project area range from 974-1,482 m above sea level (masl). Coniferous trees cover most of the Project site, with occasional open meadows in areas of less-steep terrain.
The local climate is hot and arid during the summer and warm during the fall. There is snow from December through February but typically not as a significant accumulation. Spring is often the rainy period.
The main economic income sources in the area are forestry, agriculture, and animal husbandry.
As of the effective dates of PFS19 and the TR20 reports, an adequate water supply system needed to be established for the Project as there was no developed system in the area capable of supporting a project of Gediktepe's size. From DAMA's site visits, it appears that Lidya has been taking the steps to develop a pipeline to provide the necessary water for the Project.
A 39.6 km-long 34.5 kV power transmission line (PTL) was constructed between Dursunbey substation and Kürendere to provide power to the Project. This PTL will provide adequate electrical power for site operations.
Given Gediktepe's physiographic and climatic conditions DAMA believes that year-round operations of the Project are possible. Adequate local manpower is available to support mining operations. To DAMA's knowledge, with adequate power and access to suitable areas for Project infrastructure, the principal contingency requiring final confirmation of resolution is Polimetal's completion of the pipeline to provide an adequate water supply for the Project.
Geology
The Gediktepe regional geology comprises Upper Paleozoic metamorphic rocks and Lower to Middle Miocene intrusives and volcanics. These rocks are stratigraphically overlain by Triassic carbonates and fragmental units, Jurassic limestone, and an Upper Cretaceous ophiolitic mélange. Oligocene and Lower Miocene intrusions cut the Paleozoic metamorphic and Upper Cretaceous ophiolitic rocks, establishing in the region what is now called the Alaçam Mountains granites, which outcrop in an arc-shaped geometry over an area of nearly 30 km2. Lower Miocene volcanic rocks are positioned stratigraphically above Paleozoic to Upper Paleozoic metamorphics and Upper Cretaceous ophiolitic mélanges.
Upper Paleozoic metamorphics are the most common units at Gediktepe, with the stratigraphic sequence, from top to bottom, being:
Dacite and Pyroclastic (top)
Calcschist
Feldspar-Quartz Schist
Chlorite-Sericite Schist
Quartz Schist (bottom)
The second-most common rocks at the Project are the Lower to Middle Miocene volcanics, observable around Karadikmen Hill, southwest of Gediktepe. These rocks are comprised of altered dacite-rhyodacites characterized by lava flows and pyroclastics.
The youngest units at the Project are mineralized gossan and ferricrete, along with talus, colluvium, and alluvium, all being weathering products of the host rock.
Mineralization and Deposit Type
The Project is a massive sulfide deposit hosted in schists. The sulfide zone is polymetallic with potentially economic values of zinc, copper, gold, and silver. The upper portions of the Gediktepe deposit have been weathered, leached, and oxidized by naturally occurring acidic surface water and ground water. The oxide zone hosts gold-silver mineralization, but is nearly devoid of base metals.
Mineralization at the Project is associated with greenschist facies units that are interpreted to represent massive sulfide deposition that was syngenetic with sedimentary units. These units are now elongated along a north-easterly trending structural zone that has been metamorphosed to schist. The massive sulfide-type mineralization occurs as lens-shaped units trending

north-easterly and dipping at approximately 20° to 40° to the northwest. The major sulfide zone minerals are sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Pyrite is ubiquitous.
Potentially economic gold-silver-copper-zinc mineralization is present to varying degrees, and is divided into five main types, as summarized in Table 1-1.

The units are cut by later north-westerly trending post-mineralization structures.
The characteristics of the Gediktepe mineralization have been interpreted as a convex-up massive sulfide type deposit, which implies a syngenetic style of sulfide mineralization. Subsequent weathering and oxidation are responsible for the development of the oxide and gossan horizons.
History
Ownership History
The Gediktepe mining licenses are held by Polimetal Mining Industry and Trade Inc., otherwise known as Polimetal Madencilik San. ve Tic. A.Ş., which was formed in 2011 as a joint venture (JV) company between Lidya (50%) and Alacer (50%). The Gediktepe deposit was discovered in 2012-2013 by the JV. Alacer entered into an agreement (the "2019 Share Purchase Agreement") with Lidya in July 2019 to sell its 50% non-operating ownership interest in the Project to Lidya, whereby Alacer retained the Gediktepe Royalties, consisting of a) a 10% NSR royalty on all oxide ore production, and b) a 2% NSR on all sulfide ore production. The sale to Lidya resulted in Lidya consolidating 100% control of Polimetal and the Gediktepe Project. Subsequently, Alacer and SSR Mining completed a merger transaction in September 2020, whereby Alacer became a wholly owned subsidiary of SSR Mining. EMX purchased the Gediktepe Royalties from SSR Mining upon closing of the Royalty Purchase Agreement on October 21, 2021.
Historical Exploration and Drilling
There were five phases of core (DD) and reverse circulation (RC) exploration drilling at Gediktepe, commencing in 2013 and ending in 2018. This resulted in 438 DD holes totaling 56,898 meters and 191 RC holes totaling 13,229 meters. Of the total drillhole database, a subset of drilling comprised of 624 DD and RC holes totaling 68,968 m was used for geological modelling and resource estimation work in the PFS19 report by OreWin.
Historical Grade Estimation
Historical resource block model grades were estimated using either ordinary kriging (OK) or inverse distance weighting to the power of two (ID2). Depending on the domain being estimated, composites of either 1 m or 2 m (notional) length were used. The modelled estimates were assessed for levels of geological confidence, and classified into Measured, Indicated, and Inferred categories, referencing CIM guidelines (CIM, 2014). The Mineral Resource tonnages and grades were reported using NSR cut-offs and constrained within an optimized pit.

Historical Mineral Reserves
The historical PFS19 Gediktepe Mineral Reserves, reported according to the CIM guidelines, are summarized in Table 1-3. Due to their polymetallic nature, the oxide and sulfide portions of the historical Mineral Reserves are quoted at different NSR cut-offs based on metal prices, metal recoveries, and on and off-site processing costs.
Table 1-3 summarizes "Historical Estimates" within the meaning of NI 43-101. The source of the estimates is Section 15 of PFS19, as repeated in TR20. The historical estimates set forth in Table 1-3 do not use categories of mineral reserves other than the ones set out in the CIM Definition Standards and Section 1.3 of NI 43-101. For further details on the parameters utilized in the estimates, the reader is referred to Section 15 of PFS19.
A qualified person has not performed sufficient work to classify the historical reserve estimates as current mineral reserves, and DAMA is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral reserves. Significant data compilation, confirmation drilling, re-sampling, data verification and updating of metal prices, engineering assumptions, and economic parameters may be required by a qualified person before the historical estimates can be classified as current. The historical reserve estimates are considered to be relevant and are presented for informational purposes to describe the extent and nature of mineralization on the Project as presently understood. The historical reserve estimates should not be relied upon until verified by a qualified person.

Historical Mining Methods
The historical PFS19 and TR20 reports propose a conventional open pit mining operation using excavators and trucks. The operation will start with the oxide zone of the deposit based on AMC Consultants Pty Ltd's ("AMC") and Lidya's mining studies. After finishing the oxide zone, the sulfide zone of the reserve will be produced. Open pit mining will be carried out by conventional diesel-powered truck and excavator, with small mining equipment (3-4 m3-excavator) used for selective mining. An experienced mining contractor will be employed for both waste removal and ore mining. The mining activities will be supervised by Lidya's team. The oxide zone operation will be performed on benches of 5 m considering ore control block dimension & slope. The operation bench height might have to change to 2.5 m as sulfide zone mining starts in order to be more selective and to decrease dilution.
Historical Recovery Methods
The laboratory metallurgical test work programs demonstrated that oxide and sulfide types of material require different treatment methods for the Gediktepe deposit.
In the treatment of oxide material, two different cyanidation alternatives have been described in the PFS19 and TR20 reports. One flowsheet alternative summarized in PFS19 is a heap leach circuit with application of 45 days cyanidation followed by Merrill Crowe processing (zinc precipitation) to produce gold-silver dore. The other alternative proposed in the PFS19 is carbon in pulp (CIP) circuit comprising metal adsorption onto carbon, desorption of recovered metal and refining. The TR20 report focused entirely on a refined heap leach - Merrill Crowe recovery approach.
The sulfide sample test results showed that saleable flotation concentrate products can be produced from conventional comminution and flotation processes.
Historical Site Infrastructure
The Project requires several infrastructure items in order to operate, including: Heap Leach Pad, Waste Storage Facility, Water and Power Supply, Access Road, Mine Site Buildings, and Water Diversion Channels. Additional infrastructures will be added during the sulfide ore stage which include a Tailing Storage Facility (TSF), ROM Pad and Stockpile Area, and both Copper and Zinc Concentrate Areas.
Historical Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social or Community Impact
Various environmental baseline studies are described in PFS19 including an EIA. Another EIA report will be compiled when the Project design is finalized at the end of the Project feasibility studies, which remains pending as of the effective date of this Technical Report. The Project has had the support of the local community since 2012. There are no protection areas near the Project area.
Historical Other Relevant Data and Information
Various components of other relevant data and information have been addressed in TR20. The Project execution plan developed by Lidya includes two main stages; 1) Finalize detailed design and construction of the oxide portion of the Project, and 2) Further feasibility studies of the sulfide portion of the Project. Progress regarding the execution plan was observed during DAMA's site visits as outlined in Section 12 of the Technical Report.
Historical Conclusions and Recommendations
Recommendations from PFS19 and TR20 are included for the Mineral Resources, Mining Methods, Process and Metallurgical Test Work, and Site Infrastructure. Historical PFS19 and TR20 suggest further work be completed to reduce uncertainty in

78

Annual Information Form
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where indicated)
resource classification categories, mining methods, processing and metallurgical of sulfides, and infrastructure design in order to complete a feasibility study.
Data Verification
Polimetal (Lidya) granted DAMA (Sabri Karahan, General Manager, and Mustafa Atalay, Senior Geologist, CPG) and EMX personnel (Eric Jensen, EMX General Manager of Exploration) two limited pre-planned site visits. These site visits were on August 16, 2021, and December 9, 2021. EMX has requested access to technical and other key data (e.g., ESG, permitting, etc.) from Polimetal (Lidya). However, these requests have not yet been granted as of the effective date of this Technical Report.
EMX will continue seeking access to key data to further understand the Gediktepe Project's exploration potential, resources and reserves, and anticipated near term and life of mine production schedules.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Based upon the historical information available from the pre-feasibility reports, and a more recent internal report provided by Lidya, DAMA is unaware of any significant factors or risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability for Polimetal (Lidya) to continue to advance the Project to commercial production. The Project is covered by EMX NSR royalty interests as described in this Technical Report. Conclusions and recommendations include:
Resource classification categories assigned to Gediktepe estimates are sufficient for a prefeasibility assessment. However, more work is recommended in an effort to reduce uncertainty associated with variations in confidence levels of the resource classification categories.
A more detailed plan will need to be outlined to maintain grade control with a high degree of accuracy.
Mining studies have outlined a robust starter project focusing on the oxide portion of the deposit. As mining continues, precise pit slope excavation and management of in-pit water are crucial to liberate sulfide material found at the bottom of the pit and avoid prohibitive declines in recoveries.
Polimetal (Lidya) selected a two stage crushing, conventional heap - Merrill Crowe processing flowsheet. DAMA has noted the following risks for oxide processing: "clayey' nature of ore during blending, slumping in open pit operations, and accumulation of copper in leach solution during oxide processing. DAMA recommends further investigation, clarification, and planning be conducted to resolve these risks.
For the sulfide ore, OreWin identified risks associated with processing of enriched ore due to the pre-activation of zinc. OreWin recommends careful management of stockpile residence time to mitigate this risk. DAMA agrees with OreWin's assessment."

Summary of Historical Estimates of Mineral Reserves for Royalty Assets March 2024
The historical estimates of mineral reserves summarized in the following tables are relevant in that they provide context for the quantities and grades of mineralization as currently known to EMX. The historical estimates are relevant and reliable for providing this context. There are no more recent estimates or data available to EMX, unless otherwise noted. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral reserves and EMX is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral reserves. Compilation, review, and verification of geological, engineering, metallurgical, and other relevant data, as well as independent field assessment and sampling will be needed to establish the historical estimates as current mineral reserves.
Contained metal does not account for recovery losses. The historical estimates of mineral reserves reflect the most recent publicly disclosed figures for the royalty assets in which EMX has an interest. Rows and columns may not add up due to rounding. Unless otherwise noted, the historical estimates use mineral reserve categories of proven and probable as set out in section 1.3 of NI 43-101. Please refer to 'Notes' for additional information on each asset.

1.Gediktepe is considered by EMX to be a material property for purposes of NI 43-101. EMX filed the Gediktepe Technica Report on SEDAR+ on March 31, 2022. The Gediktepe Technical Report restates the Gediktepe historical mineral reserve estimates referenced from a technical report dated April 3, 2019 and filed on SEDAR+ by Alacer Gold Corp. (formerly a reporting issuer in Canada) entitled “Gediktepe 2019 Prefeasibility Study” which has an effective date of March 26, 2019. Basic assumptions for the historical mineral reserve estimate include: (a) reported using NSR based on metal prices of $1,300/oz Au, $18.5/oz Ag, $3.30/lb Cu, and $1.28/lb Zn, metal recoveries according to mineralization type, smelter terms for treatment and refining charges and transport including ocean freight for sulfide concentrates, (b) cut-offs applied were oxide $20.67/t and sulfide $17.74/t, (c) enriched mineralization with a Cu/Zn grade ratio < 0.75 considered as waste, and (d) includes mining losses and grade dilution not reported in the historical mineral resource.
The historical estimate should not be relied on until verified by a Qualified Person.

2.The historical mineral reserve estimate for Yenipazar is referenced from a technical report dated May 23, 2014 filed on SEDAR+ by Aldridge Minerals Inc. (formerly a reporting issuer in Canada) entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Yenipazar Optimization Study, Yozgat Province, Turkey” which has an effective date of April 15, 2014. Aldridge is now a privately held Turkish subsidiary of British Virgin Islands domiciled Virtus Mining Ltd. Basic assumptions for the historical mineral reserve estimate include: (a) open pit ptimizedon based upon the Lerchs-Grossman algorithm in CAE NPV Scheduler, (b) applied to resource blocks using mining, processing and G&A costs, pit slope criteria, and NSR block values, (c) Inferred resources considered as waste, (d) ptimized open-pit shell used as basis for pit design, € estimated in-pit tonnage contained within the operational pit that meets or exceeds the cut-off criteria and subsequently applied the ore criteria (mining losses and dilution) to that tonnage, (f) NSR cutoffs of US $17/t for oxide and US $20/t for copper enriched and sulphide mineralization.
Virtus’ in-house Yenipazar 2019 Optimization Study Update Report (July 30, 2019) was based upon the historical estimates from Aldridge’s 2014 Technical Report. There were no changes to the reported historical reserves. The Virtus report does not meet NI 43-101 disclosure requirements.
The historical estimate should not be relied on until verified by a Qualified Person.
Contained metal as thousands of troy ounces and thousands of metric tonnes calculated by EMX’s Qualified Person under NI 43-101.

Summary of Historical Estimates of Mineral Resources for Royalty Assets March 2024
The historical estimates of mineral resources summarized in the following tables are relevant in that they provide context for the quantities and grades of mineralization as currently known to EMX. The historical estimates are relevant and reliable for providing this context. There are no more recent estimates or data available to EMX, unless otherwise noted. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and EMX is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources. Compilation, review, and verification of geological, engineering, metallurgical, and other relevant data, as well as independent field assessment and sampling will be needed to establish the historical estimates as current mineral resources.
Contained metal does not take into account recovery losses. The historical estimates of mineral resources reflect the most recent publicly disclosed figures for the royalty assets in which EMX has an interest. Rows and columns may not add up due to rounding. Unless otherwise noted, the historical estimates use mineral resource categories of measured, indicated and inferred as set out in section 1.2 of NI 43-101. Please refer to 'Notes' for additional information on each asset.
