SilverStream SEZC, dba Vox Royalty (“VOX”), is pleased to announce it has entered into a preliminary purchase agreement to acquire two royalties from ASX-listed Jervois Mining Limited (“Jervois” or “Company”).

Forest Reefs is a 1.5% NSR royalty over exploration license EL4620 targeting large porphyry copper gold, located in New South Wales and part of the land holdings of the Cadia Mine; which is operated by ASX-listed Newcrest Mining Limited.

Mt Moss is a 1.5% NSR royalty over base metal, magnetite and silver production from the Mt Moss Mine in Queensland. The mine is currently on care and maintenance and had a production capacity of approximately 0.5Mtpa magnetite prior to operations ceasing. Remaining resources were estimated (2012) as 11Mt @ 44.5% Fe in oxide (hematite) and 9.4Mt @ 45% Fe (magnetite). The mining lease (ML10171) is held by Mt Moss Mining Pty Ltd and also holds potential to produce copper and zinc concentrates as secondary products due to the skarn style classification of the deposit.

Kyle Floyd, CEO of Vox Royalty, commented, “We are pleased to announce this transaction with Jervois. It maximizes the value of the Jervois’ non-core holding of royalties and allows the Company to share in the value created in Vox’s impending public listing, whilst realizing capital that furthers the development of their core projects. Vox realizes continued growth and diversification of its royalty portfolio adding two royalties over interesting assets that have large potential.”
