BofA update shows where active managers are putting money
DENVER - Vox Royalty Corp. (TSX:VOXR)(NASDAQ:VOXR), a royalty company with a market capitalization of $167.6 million and strong liquidity position evidenced by a current ratio of 4.34, has executed a binding agreement to acquire a 1.5% gross revenue royalty on the Wyloo North iron ore project in Western Australia for A$1.5 million (approximately US$1 million), according to a press release statement issued Monday.According to InvestingPro analysis, Vox maintains a moderate debt level and has consistently raised its dividend for three consecutive years, demonstrating financial discipline in its acquisition strategy.
The royalty covers the first 15 million tonnes of iron ore production from the Wyloo North deposit, which is part of Fortescue Metals Group’s Greater Western Hub in the Pilbara region. The acquisition comes as Vox’s stock has shown strong momentum, with a 45% price increase over the past six months, according to InvestingPro data.
Wyloo North is a 7-kilometer-long iron ore deposit located within 30 kilometers of Fortescue’s producing Eliwana Iron Ore Operation, which currently produces 30 million tonnes of iron ore annually. According to resource data cited in the statement, the deposit contains iron ore with 59.6% Fe content, higher than the Greater Western Hub average of 56.8% Fe.
The deposit features mineralization with a combined strike length exceeding 7 kilometers in the central project area, with additional mineralization zones in the western and eastern regions. The ore bodies vary in dip from 20 to 60 degrees and reach thicknesses up to 95 meters.
Fortescue has conducted exploration at the site since 2006, including mapping and reverse circulation drilling programs. These efforts led to the consolidation of several exploration tenements into mining lease M47/1567, which now comprises the Wyloo North project.
Spencer Cole, Chief Investment Officer at Vox, stated that the acquisition aligns with the company’s focus on "large high-grade orebodies, operated by large-cap mining companies with medium-term development potential via existing infrastructure."
The company noted that potential upcoming catalysts for the royalty include updated resource classifications, environmental approval submissions, and ministerial decisions to commence mine development.
