The Base Shelf Prospectus and Registration Statement, when made final and effective, will enable the Company to make offerings of up to C$200 million of common shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, units, or any combination thereof, during the 25-month period that ‎the Base Shelf Prospectus and Registration Statement remain valid. The specific terms of any offering will ‎be established in a prospectus supplement to the Base Shelf Prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian and U.S. securities ‎regulatory authorities in connection with any such offering. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of securities, the net proceeds from any sale of securities may be used by EMX for general corporate purposes, including funding ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements, to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time, and to fund capital projects and potential future acquisitions.

No securities may be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any province, territory, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such province, territory state or jurisdiction.
