Vox Royalty Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

 

1.Nature of operations

 

Vox Royalty Corp. (“Vox” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 20, 2018. Subsequently, on June 30, 2020, Vox redomiciled under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The Company’s registered office is held at c/o Centralis Cayman Limited, One Capital Place, George Town, Grand Cayman, PO Box 1564, Cayman Islands. The Company’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture under the ticker symbol “VOX”.

 

On February 26, 2020, the Company and SilverStream SEZC (“SilverStream”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the acquisition by AIM3 Ventures Inc. (“AIM3”) of all the issued and outstanding common shares of SilverStream (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SilverStream and AIM3 Merger Sub Cayman Ltd. (a subsidiary of AIM3) amalgamated and continued under the name of SilverStream SEZC. As a result of the amalgamation, SilverStream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIM3, and AIM3 is continuing on with the business of SilverStream SEZC. The Transaction closed on May 19, 2020. As a result, the consolidated statements of financial position are presented as a continuance of SilverStream and comparative figures presented in the consolidated statements are those of SilverStream. See Note 4 for details. Concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, AIM3 changed its name to Vox Royalty Corp.

 

Vox is a mining royalty and streaming company focused on building a portfolio of royalties and streams across a diverse mix of precious metals. Vox seeks to acquire a diverse mix of precious metal royalties and purchase agreements (“Stream”) over development stage assets, advanced stage development projects or operating mines. In return for making an upfront payment to acquire a Stream or royalty, Vox receives the right to purchase, at a fixed price per unit, a percentage of a mine’s production for the life of the mine, in the case of a Stream, or a portion of revenue generated from the mine, in the case of a royalty.

 

On April 30, 2020, SilverStream completed a stock-split, pursuant to which all the outstanding common shares were subdivided on the basis of 2.01857075172723 for every 1 pre-stock split common share. All share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the stock-split.

 

2.Basis of preparation

 

(a)Statement of compliance

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and apply the same accounting policies and application as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by IFRS for annual statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2021. For further information, see the Company’s annual financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved, and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 25, 2021.

 

(b)Basis of presentation

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

 

(c)Principles of consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, SilverStream SEZC (Cayman Islands), Vox Royalty Australia Pty Ltd. (Australia) and Vox Royalty Canada Ltd. (Canada).

 

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

(d)Currency translation

 

Functional and presentation currency

 

The functional currency for each entity within the Vox group is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates.

Vox Royalty Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“$”), which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise noted.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

In preparing the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the entity, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s United States dollar functional currency, being Canadian dollars (“C$”) and Australian dollars (“A$”), are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. All foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end foreign exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

 

(e)Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2022. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

 

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)

 

IAS 1 was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023.

 

IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”)

 

IAS 37 was amended. The amendments clarify that when assessing if a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes all costs that relate directly to the contract – i.e. a full-cost approach. Such costs include both the incremental costs of the contract (i.e. costs a company would avoid if it did not have the contract) and an allocation of other direct costs incurred on activities required to fulfill the contract – e.g. contract management and supervision, or depreciation of equipment used in fulfilling the contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022.

 

3.Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impact of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements were the same as those applied to the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

COVID-19 estimation uncertainty

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to COVID-19. The current and future impact on global commerce is far-reaching. To date there has been significant stock market volatility, significant volatility in commodity and foreign exchange markets, restrictions on the conduct of business in many jurisdictions including the temporary suspension of mining activities and mine development, and the global movement of people and some goods has become restricted. There is significant ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the extent and duration of the impacts that it may have on demand and prices for the commodities relating to the Company’s Streams and royalties, on the operations of its partners, on its employees and on global financial markets. In the current environment, assumptions about future commodity prices, exchange rates, and interest rates are subject to greater variability than normal, which could in future significantly affect the valuation of the Company’s assets, both financial and non-financial. As at March 31, 2021, the Company has not recorded any adjustments related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

4.Reverse take-over transaction

 

On May 19, 2020, AIM3 and SilverStream completed the Transaction. The Transaction constituted a reverse take-over (“RTO”), whereby, upon completion, the shareholders of SilverStream held a majority of the outstanding common shares of the resulting public entity (the “Resulting Issuer”). The substance of the Transaction is a reverse acquisition of a non-operating company. As a result, the Transaction has been accounted for as a capital transaction with SilverStream being identified as the acquirer and the equity consideration being measured at fair value, using the acquisition method of accounting. The RTO has been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as a continuation of the financial statements of SilverStream, together with a deemed issuance of shares equivalent to the shares held by the former shareholders of AIM3.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(Expressed in United States Dollars) 

  

Details of the Transaction are as follows:

 

-Prior to the Transaction, AIM3 effected a share consolidation on the basis of one common share for every 13.3125 shares issued and outstanding;
-AIM3 changed its name to Vox Royalty Corp.;
-AIM3 acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of SilverStream in exchange for post consolidation AIM3 shares, at an exchange ratio of one post-consolidation AIM3 share for each share of SilverStream; and
-Existing AIM3 post-consolidation stock options and warrants were replaced with stock options and warrants of the Resulting Issuer on an exchange ratio of 13.3125. The exercise prices of the instruments were multiplied by the share exchange ratio of 13.3125, to reflect the share consolidation. All other terms of the instruments remain unaltered.

 

Purchase price consideration paid     
   $ 
Fair value of AIM3 common shares (i)   1,612,323 
Fair value of AIM3 agent warrants (ii)   40,308 
Fair value of AIM3 options (iii)   87,814 
    1,740,445

Total identifiable assets acquired   488,915

    1,740,445 

 

(i)The fair value of the 800,000 common shares, retained by former AIM3 shareholders, was determined to be $1,612,323 based on the fair value of common shares issued through the private placement on May 7, 2020 (see Note 12). Immediately after the Transaction was completed, the number of shares held by AIM3 shareholders was approximately 2.49%.

 

(ii)The estimated fair value of 37,559 warrants issued as consideration are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: stock price - C$2.80 ($2.02) per share, expected dividend yield – 0%, expected volatility – 57%, risk-free interest rate – 0.28% and an expected life of 0.49 years. In making assumptions for expected volatility, Vox used the industry average as sufficient historical data was not available for the Company’s stock price.

  

(iii)The estimated fair value of 80,000 options issued as consideration are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: stock price - C$2.80 ($2.02) per share, expected dividend yield – 0%, expected volatility – 57%, risk-free interest rate – 0.28% and an expected life of 1 year. In making assumptions for expected volatility, Vox used the industry average as sufficient historical data was not available for the Company’s stock price.

  

(iv)The transaction costs relating to the RTO plus the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over identifiable assets acquired disclosed in the table above, has been recognized as reverse take-over acquisition costs, in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. In addition, the Company paid cash transaction costs of $520,142.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

 

Amounts receivable

 

On March 23, 2018, the Company executed a deed of variation agreement with Mantle Mining Peru S.A.C. (“Mantle”). Under the terms of the agreement, Mantle will pay SilverStream an aggregate of $3,700,000 over the term of the agreement, broken down as follows:

 

-   2018 - $200,000 (received)
-   2019 - $1,000,000 (received)
-   2020 - $1,000,000
-   2021 - $1,000,000
-   2022 - $500,000

 

The agreement with Mantle was recognized initially at the estimated fair value, based on contractual cash flows, discounted at an interest rate of 10%, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The interest rate was estimated based on interest rates available in the market on comparable terms issued to similar companies. The accretion income recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $23,111.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company provided for a provision for expected credit losses (“ECL”) of $1,500,000, representing the payments that are due under the terms of the agreement for 2021 and 2022. There is a degree of uncertainty in those years as to whether the Company will collect the remaining balance. As a result, in recognizing the estimated fair value of the receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has estimated $nil payments to be received in 2021 and 2022, other than the 2020 amount that is receivable at March 31, 2021.

 

Titan Minerals Ltd. (“Titan”), the parent company of Mantle, will pay the Company the 2020 payment in Titan stock. In return, SilverStream will pay Titan an equivalent amount, in Vox common shares, for a royalty both parties agree upon and negotiate in good faith.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit risk related to amounts receivables is disclosed in Note 21.

 

6.Investments

 

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held two investments, which had a total estimated fair value of $Nil.

Total      1,123,542    -    0.0%

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s investment activity was as follows:

 

-sold 6,509,599 common shares of Titan for total cash proceeds of AUD$604,580 ($401,834). The total realized loss on investment was $1,036,965; and
-sold 70,000 common shares of BK Gold Mines Pty Ltd. (“BKGM”) for total cash proceeds of AUD$14,000 ($9,713). The total realized loss on investment was $1,017.
-the Company recognized an impairment of $1,123,235 related to the common shares held in BKGM. The Company carried out an impairment assessment during the year ended December 31, 2020, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. The impairment was recognized as a result of the carrying amount of the asset exceeding its recoverable amount.

 

The Company applies the exception to equity accounting for its investments in BKGM and MCC Canadian Gold Ventures Inc. (“MCGV”). As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, SilverStream holds a 27.1% equity interest in BKGM and a 40% equity interest in MCGV. Management has determined that these investments qualify for the exemption from equity accounting given that they have the following typical characteristics of a venture capital investment:

 

-the businesses of BKGM and MCGV are unrelated as they are mining companies, not a royalty or streaming business which comprise the Company’s business;
-these investments are not for strategic interest, as the Company does not have an interest in operating mining companies and such activity is deleterious to the Company’s business and efforts; and
-Vox derives no synergy and it does not want to acquire these businesses, but rather exit with capital appreciation.

Share issuances for the three months ended March 31, 2021

 

On March 25, 2021, the Company closed an offering of units with a syndicate of underwriters pursuant to which the underwriters purchased, on a bought deal basis, 5,615,766 units at C$3.00 per share for total gross proceeds of C$16,847,298 ($13,242,786) (the “Offering”). The units were offered pursuant to a final prospectus supplement dated March 22, 2021 to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated October 2, 2020. Each unit issued consisted of one common share of the Company and one half of one share purchase warrant of the Company. In consideration for services provided in connection with the Offering, the underwriters received a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The value of the Financing was allocated $562 to share capital, $11,981,692 to additional paid-in capital, $1,372,247 to derivative liabilities and $111,715 to other income (expenses).

 

Each whole warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share at a price of C$4.50 for a period of 3 years. The warrants have been presented as a derivative liability (see Note 14). The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date was $1,372,247. The fair value of the warrants is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price C$2.62 ($2.13), expected dividend yield – 0%, expected volatility – 58%, risk-free interest rate – 0.46% and an expected life of 3 years. In making assumptions for expected volatility, Vox used the industry average as sufficient historical data was not available for the Company’s stock price.

 

A director of the Company subscribed for 33,300 units as part of the offering, for gross proceeds of C$99,900 ($78,526).

 

During the period, the Company issued 252,878 common shares for the purchase of the Breakwater royalty portfolio, as disclosed in Note 7, for total consideration of C$725,000 ($574,166). The value was allocated $25 to share capital and $574,141 to additional paid-in capital. The amount of the shares issued was based on the amount necessary to meet the estimated fair value of the royalty portfolio. The valuation methodologies used for the royalties include a conventional discounted cashflow approach and related transactional benchmarking.

 

During the period, the Company issued 90,794 common shares at a value of $187,975 related to RSUs exercised. The value was allocated $9 to share capital and $187,966 to additional paid-in capital. In addition, equity reserves were reduced by $187,975 and offset to additional paid-in capital.

 

Under the Company’s normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), the Company is able until November 18, 2021, to purchase up to 1,628,289 common shares. The NCIB provides the Company with the option to purchase its common shares from time to time. During the period, the Company, utilizing its NCIB, purchased and cancelled 280,800 common shares. The value was allocated $27 to share capital and $690,980 to additional paid-in capital.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 20,000 stock options were granted and vest in 3 equal amounts, with 1/3 on the grant date, 1/3 on March 31, 2021 and 1/3 on June 30, 2021. In making assumptions for expected volatility, the Company used the industry average as sufficient historical data was not available for the Company’s stock price.

 

Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan

 

The Company adopted a RSU Plan, which provides that the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, grant directors, officers, employees and consultants, non-transferable RSUs based on the value of the Company’s share price at the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to issue cash or to equity settle the vested RSUs. The RSUs issued were treated as equity-settled instruments and measured at the grant date fair value because the Company does not have a present obligation to settle the issued RSUs in cash.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 116,108 RSUs were granted and vest as follows: 25,802 RSUs on the grant date and 45,153 on each of the first and second anniversary dates. The share-based compensation expense related to the RSUs will be recorded over the vesting period.

On February 3, 2021, the Company held a Warrantholder Meeting (“Meeting”). At the Meeting, the holders of 2,289,667 common share purchase warrants that were originally set to expire on May 14, 2022 (“Warrants”), unanimously voted in favour to amend the Warrants to (a) remove the compulsory call option held by the Company, and (b) in conjunction with the foregoing, extend the term of the Warrants by 12 months, such that the warrants will now expire on May 14, 2023.

 

See Note 12 for warrants issuance as part of the Offering.

 

Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) Plan

 

The Company adopted a PSU Plan, which provides that the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, grant directors, officers, employees and consultants, non-transferable PSUs based on the value of the Company’s share price at the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to issue cash or to equity settle the vested PSUs. The PSUs issued were treated as derivative instruments because the number of shares to be eventually issued is based on a percentage of the common shares outstanding at the time the performance hurdle is met. The share-based compensation expense will be recorded over the vesting period, which is the date that specific share price hurdles are met.

 

The following summarizes the PSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

20. Segment information

 

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Company’s operating segments are components of the Company’s business for which discrete financial information is available and which are reviewed regularly by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company operated in one reportable segment being the acquisition of royalty interests and stream metal purchase agreements.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized royalty revenue from four of its royalties, Brauna, located in Brazil, Graphmada, located in Madagascar, and Koolyanobbing and Dry Creek, located in Australia. Royalty revenues generated from each geographic location is as follows:

21.  Financial instruments                

 

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no material changes to the risks, objectives, policies and procedures during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and amounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions and closely monitors its accounts receivable balances. The Company’s amounts receivable are subject to the credit risk of (i) the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Vox’s royalty and streaming portfolio, and (ii) Titan, as described in Note 5.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

 

The Company endeavors to have sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot be reasonably predicted.

 

At March 31, 2021, the Company has a cash balance of $10,723,135 (December 31, 2020 - $3,153,958) to settle current liabilities of $2,628,981 (December 31, 2020 - $226,420). All of the Company’s financial liabilities generally have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms, except for derivative liabilities (Note 14).

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

 

In addition to the commitments disclosed in Note 18, the Company is obligated to the following contractual maturities of undiscounted cash flows as at March 31, 2021:

 

   Carrying   Contractual                 
   amount   cash flows   Year 1   Year 2-3   Year 4-5   Thereafter 
   $   $   $   $   $   $ 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   2,628,981    2,628,981    2,628,981    -    -    - 
Total   2,628,981    2,628,981    2,628,981    -    -    - 

 

Currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because o f changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk related to cash in Canadian dollars, with a value of C$13,388,669 ($10,647,053) and derivative liabilities held in Canadian dollars, with an estimated fair value of C$2,484,829 ($1,976,007) as at March 31, 2021. The Company is therefore subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in the related currency relative to the US dollar. As at March 31, 2021, a 10% change in the Canadian dollar, would have an impact of $1,065,000 and $198,000, on cash and derivative liabilities, respectively, and on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company has cash balances with rates that fluctuate with the prevailing market rate. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in cash accounts or short-term interest-bearing securities issued by chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company does not use any derivative instrument to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.

 

Commodity and share price risk

 

The Company’s royalty streams are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of base metals are the primary drivers of the Company’s profitability and ability to generate free cash flow. All of the Company’s future revenue is not hedged in order to provide shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.

 

The Company’s financial results may be significantly affected by a decline in the price of base metals. The price of base metals can fluctuate widely, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying amounts for cash, current amounts receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments.

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities were estimated based on the assumptions disclosed in Note 14.

 

The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

-Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

-Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

-Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value after initial recognition, except for derivative liabilities, which are estimated using Level 3 inputs.

 

The following table provides information about financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position and categorized by level according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.

 

As at March 31, 2021:

The Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

22. Subsequent events

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, 1,693,095 common shares were issued related to RSUs exercised.

 

On May 18, 2021, the Company announced it entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Electric Royalties Ltd. (“Electric Royalties”), for Electric Royalties to acquire two graphite royalties, Graphmada and Yalbra, from Vox. Total consideration for the transaction is for the Company to receive C$2,850,000 in shares of Electric Royalties and a C$50,000 cash non-refundable exclusivity payment. Closing of the transaction is conditional upon completion of due diligence and customary conditions including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange as well as the execution of definitive transaction documentation.

 

On March 29, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a private Australian-registered entity pursuant to which Vox agreed to acquire a A$10/oz gold royalty on part of Norton Gold Fields Pty Ltd’s (“Norton”) Bullabulling Gold Project (“Bullabulling”) in Western Australia for total consideration of up to A$2,200,000, subject to receipt of approval or a “no-objection” letter from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board. On May 21, 2021, Vox received a no-objection letter from the Foreign Investment Review Board. On May 25, 2021, Vox paid upfront cash of A$1,200,000 and the Bullabulling transaction was completed. A first milestone payment is contingent upon Norton receiving approval of a mining proposal from DMIRS. Upon this milestone being achieved, Vox will pay a milestone payment of A$500,000, in cash or Vox shares, at the Company’s sole discretion. A second milestone payment of A$500,000 is contingent upon Vox receiving first royalty revenue from Bullabulling, and such milestone payment, may be settled in cash or Vox shares, at the Company’s sole discretion. Any issuance of Vox shares in connection with the milestone payments will require the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
