Strategic Royalty Acquisition Sparks Investor Interest in This Small-Cap

On an overall risk-off day, there was a notable development in the mining sector that stood out. A key announcement related to a producing asset led to increased investor interest and ultimately sent shares of one mining royalty company higher. Shares of Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX:VOXR) (NASDAQ:VOXR) were on the move higher as the company announced that they would be acquiring a cash-flowing 2.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the producing Kanmantoo copper-gold mine in South Australia for $11.7 million, funded through a drawdown from its credit facility with Bank of Montreal. Operated by Hillgrove Resources and located 55km from Adelaide, the royalty steps down to 0.5% after 85,000 tonnes of copper are produced, with approximately 72,435 tonnes remaining as of April 30, 2025. The Kanmantoo underground copper-gold mine is a fully operational site expected to produce 12,000 to 14,000 tonnes of copper in 2025, along with notable gold and silver byproducts. Previously mined as open pits from 2010 to 2020 with production of 137,000 tonnes of copper and over 55,000 oz of gold, underground operations began in May 2023 and reached commercial production by July 2024. The mine benefits from A$200 million in established infrastructure, including a 3.6Mtpa processing plant currently running at ~40% capacity, and offers significant expansion potential. With a total resource of 18.9Mt at an average grade of around 0.77% Cu and 0.14g/t Au, and a regional exploration target of 25–40Mt at up to 1.4% Cu, the site holds strong exploration upside. A 60,000m drilling program underway in 2025 aims to update the resource estimate and potentially extend mine life. Development is also accelerating at the gold-rich Nugent deposit, with first ore expected in Q4 2025 and recent high-grade drill results supporting its potential. Shares of VOXR are currently up 4.99% at $4.63 while U.S. listed shares (VOXR) are up 4.92% at $3.305 in mid-morning trading. Copyright © 2025 All rights reserved.
