Commodity
Gold

Royalty
1% GSR

EMX’s Leeville royalty property is located on Nevada’s prolific Northern Carlin Trend, and covers portions of Nevada Gold Mines Leeville, Turf, and other underground gold mining operations. EMX’s 1% gross smelter return (“GSR”) royalty was added to the Company’s portfolio through the 2012 merger with Bullion Monarch. The Leeville royalty is a key Company asset and has provided a significant and ongoing revenue stream to EMX since its acquisition.

In recent years, Newmont has delineated a trend of sediment-hosted gold mineralization that extends southeast from the Leeville mining complex and across EMX’s royalty property. This gold trend includes the Rita K and Full House exploration projects which are partially covered by the Leeville royalty property. Mineralization remains open along the known structural and stratigraphic controls according to Nevada Gold Mines. These Nevada Gold Mines exploration successes underscore the prospectivity of the Leeville royalty property. From this exploration, Nevada Gold Mines released the Rita-K maiden resource and reserves in 2021 and developed a new portal to access Rita-K.
