Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 18, 2018) - EMX Royalty Corporation (TSXV: EMX) (NYSE American: EMX) ("EMX") is pleased to announce its acquisition of 2,020,202 common shares of Boreal Energy Metals Corp. ("BEMC"), representing an additional 4% equity stake in BEMC, and bringing EMX's aggregate interest to 9.9% of BEMC's issued and outstanding shares. EMX acquired the additional shares pursuant to the sale of the Njuggträskliden and Mjövattnet nickel-copper-cobalt projects in Sweden (the "Projects")1. The shares were issued to EMX at a deemed price of CDN $0.05 per share.

EMX has also been granted a 3% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the Projects, as well as other consideration to EMX's benefit. The TSX Venture Exchange has approved the transfer of the Njuggträskliden and Mjövattnet exploration licenses from EMX to BEMC, subject to customary final filings.

BEMC is a recently formed private company focused on battery metal assets in Scandinavia, and is a subsidiary of Boreal Metals Corporation ("Boreal") (TSXV: BMX). In addition to EMX's direct ownership in BEMC, which includes an initial 5.9% share equity position resulting from the sale of the Guldgruvan cobalt project2, EMX also has an indirect ownership interest via its 17.9% interest in Boreal, which owns the remaining 90.1% of BEMC. These interests provide EMX and its shareholders immediate exposure to equity upside, while the royalty interests provide longer term exposure to mineral production revenues and the optionality of continued exploration success and discovery.
