**EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION**

**NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SECURITYHOLDERS**

<u>Date:</u> November 4, 2025 <br> <u>Time:</u> <u>10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time)</u> <br> <u>Place:</u> <u>Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia<br>Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8</u>

**NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN** that, pursuant to an order (the "**Interim Order**") of the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "**Court**") dated September 29, 2025, a special meeting (the "**Meeting**") of the shareholders ("**Shareholders**") and optionholders who have been issued stock options (each, an "**EMX Option**") under the EMX Option Plan (as defined below) ("**Optionholders**", and together with Shareholders, the "**Securityholders**") of EMX Royalty Corporation ("**EMX**") will be held on November 4, 2025 beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) and located at the offices of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP at Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8, for the following purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution (the "**Arrangement Resolution**"), the full text of which is set forth in Appendix A to the accompanying management information circular of EMX dated September 29, 2025 (the "**Circular**"), to approve a plan of arrangement (the "**Arrangement**") under the provisions of Division 5 of Part 9 of the *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia) ("**BCBCA**") involving EMX, Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. and 1554829 B.C. Ltd.; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to transact such further and other business as may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjourned or postponed Meeting.

Specific details of the matters to be put before the Meeting are set forth in the accompanying Circular.

**If the Arrangement Resolution is not approved by the Securityholders at the Meeting, the Arrangement will not be completed.**

The board of directors of EMX (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter), after receiving the unanimous recommendation of a special committee comprised solely of independent directors of EMX, unanimously recommends that the Securityholders vote **<u>FOR</u>** the Arrangement Resolution.

In addition to in person attendance, the Meeting can also be accessed via live webcast at <u>meetnow.global/M2JX4WC</u>. Any Securityholder attending the Meeting via the live webcast will not be able to vote during the Meeting. Only Securityholders or their duly appointed proxyholders who are present in person at the Meeting are able to vote during the Meeting. Accordingly, in order that as many common shares of EMX (each, an "**EMX Share**") and EMX Options as possible are represented at the Meeting, Securityholders are encouraged to vote their EMX Shares and/or EMX Options via proxy prior to the proxy cut-off time as further described below. The accompanying Circular provides a summary of the information Securityholders will need to attend the Meeting.

The record date for the determination of Securityholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting is September 25, 2025 (the "**Record Date**"). Only Securityholders whose names have been entered in the register of Securityholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

Each EMX Share entitled to be voted at the Meeting will entitle the holder thereof to one vote per EMX Share at the Meeting. Each EMX Option entitled to be voted at the Meeting will entitle the holder thereof to one vote per EMX Option at the

------

Meeting. The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting; (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders and Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes cast by certain Shareholders required to be excluded under Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - *Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions* of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

**A Securityholder may attend the Meeting in person or may be represented by proxy. Securityholders that are unable to attend the Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) in person are requested to date, sign and return the accompanying form of proxy or voting instruction form ("VIF"), as applicable, for use at the Meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement thereof), or alternatively, follow the instructions in such documents to vote electronically. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting in person, you may still vote in advance via proxy. In order to be acted upon at the Meeting, validly completed instruments of proxy must be received by Computershare Investor Services Inc., Attention: Proxy Department, by mail: 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6, or by facsimile: 1-866-249-7775 for toll free within North America or 1-416-263-9524 outside of North America, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, no later than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the time of the commencement of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.** Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Chair of the Meeting has the discretion to accept proxies received after such deadline. The Chair of the Meeting is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at their discretion, without notice. Registered Securityholders may use the internet (<u>www.investorvote.com</u>) or the telephone (1-866-732-8683) to transmit voting instructions on or before the date and time noted above and may also use the internet to appoint a proxyholder to attend and vote on behalf of such registered Securityholder, at the Meeting.

**If you wish that a person other than the management nominees identified on the form of proxy or VIF attend and vote at the Meeting as your proxy and vote your EMX Shares and/or EMX Options, including if you are not a registered Shareholder and wish to appoint yourself as proxyholder to attend and vote at the Meeting, you MUST submit your form of proxy (or proxies) or VIF, as applicable, in accordance with the instructions set out in the Circular. If submitting a proxy or VIF appointing a person other than the management nominees identified, you must return your proxy or VIF in accordance with the instructions set out in the Circular by 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025 (or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, by the time that is 48 hours prior to the adjourned or postponed Meeting, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). For information regarding voting or appointing a proxyholder by internet or voting online or by telephone, see the form of proxy and/or the section of the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part VIII - General Proxy Matters*".**

Securityholders who have questions about the information in the accompanying Circular or who need assistance with voting may contact EMX's proxy solicitation agent and securityholder communications advisor, Laurel Hill Advisory Group, by telephone at 1-877-452-7184 (toll free in North America) or 1-416-304-0211 (collect calls outside North America) or by email at <u>assistance@laurelhill.com</u>.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, registered Shareholders have a right to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. If the Arrangement Resolution is passed, a registered Shareholder that has duly and validly exercised their dissent rights in accordance with Sections 237 to 247 the BCBCA, as modified by the plan of arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court, will be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the fair value of their EMX Shares as of the close of business on the business day before the Arrangement Resolution was approved. This dissent right and the dissent procedures are described in the accompanying Circular.

A registered Shareholder wishing to exercise rights of dissent with respect to the Arrangement must send to EMX a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution, which written objection must be sent to EMX (i) c/o Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8 (Attention: Jessica Lewis) and (ii) with a copy by email to <u>jlewis@cassels.com</u>, to be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the day that is two business days prior to the date of the adjourned or postponed Meeting, and must otherwise strictly comply with the dissent procedures set forth in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the plan of arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court.

See the section entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Right to Dissent*" and Appendix L, "*Section 237 through Section 247 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)*" in the accompanying Circular.

The proxyholder has discretion under the accompanying form of proxy or VIF with respect to any amendments or variations of the matter of business to be acted on at the Meeting or any other matters properly brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, in each instance, to the extent permitted by law, whether or not the amendment, variation or other matter that comes before the Meeting is routine or contested. As of the date hereof, management of EMX knows of no amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters set forth in this Notice of Special Meeting. Securityholders that are planning on returning the accompanying form of proxy or VIF are encouraged to review the accompanying Circular carefully before submitting their form of proxy or VIF.

**EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION**

**LETTER TO SECURITYHOLDERS**

September 29, 2025

Dear Fellow Securityholders:

You are invited to attend a special meeting (the "**Meeting**") of the shareholders ("**Shareholders**") and optionholders who have been issued stock options (each, an "**EMX Option**") under the EMX Option Plan (as defined below) ("**Optionholders**", and together with Shareholders, the "**Securityholders**") of EMX Royalty Corporation ("**EMX**") to be held on November 4, 2025 beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) and located at the offices of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP at Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8. The Meeting can also be accessed via live webcast at <u>meetnow.global/M2JX4WC</u>. Any Securityholder attending the live webcast will not be able to vote during the Meeting. Only Securityholders or their duly appointed proxyholders who are present in person at the Meeting will be able to vote during the Meeting.

At the Meeting, you will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass a special resolution to approve the proposed plan of arrangement (the "**Arrangement**") under the *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia) involving EMX and Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. ("**Elemental Altus**") and 1554829 B.C. Ltd. ("**Acquireco**"). **Please complete the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form ("VIF") and, in the case of a form of proxy, submit it to our transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Investor Services Inc. and, in the case of a VIF, submit it as instructed on such form or, alternatively, follow the instructions in such documents to vote electronically, as soon as possible but no later than 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025, or if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the time of the commencement of any adjourned or postponed Meeting.**

**The Arrangement**

On September 4, 2025, EMX, Elemental Altus and Acquireco entered into an arrangement agreement (the "**Arrangement Agreement**"). Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and the accompanying plan of arrangement (the "**Plan of Arrangement**"), Elemental Altus has agreed to, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EMX ("**EMX Shares**") for 0.2822 (the "**Exchange Ratio**") Elemental Altus common shares (each, an "**Elemental Altus Share**") for each EMX Share (the "**Consideration**"). Optionholders will receive replacement options of EMX ("**Replacement Options**"), with each Replacement Option being exercisable to purchase from Elemental Altus a number of Elemental Altus Shares equal to the number of EMX Shares subject to such EMX Option immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Elemental Altus Shares) at an exercise price per Elemental Altus Share being the exercise price per EMX Share underlying such EMX Option immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Immediately following completion of the Arrangement and the concurrent Elemental Altus Financing (as defined below), subject to certain assumptions including that no additional EMX Shares are issued prior to the closing date of the Arrangement and that there are no Shareholders who exercise dissent rights, former Shareholders (including former holders of restricted share units of EMX) are anticipated to own approximately 49% of the outstanding shares of the combined company (the "**Combined Company**") and existing shareholders of Elemental Altus (the "**Elemental Altus Shareholders**") are anticipated to own approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company.

The Arrangement is currently anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Registered Shareholders are concurrently being provided with a letter of transmittal explaining how to exchange their EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares. Shareholders whose EMX Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee must contact their nominee to deposit their EMX Shares under the Arrangement.

------

No action needs to be taken by the Optionholders to receive their Replacement Options.

**Benefits to Securityholders**

In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendation that Securityholders vote <u>**FOR**</u> the Arrangement Resolution (as defined below), the board of directors of EMX (the "**Board**") and a special committee comprised solely of independent directors of EMX (the "**Special Committee**") reviewed and considered a significant amount of information as well as a number of factors relating to the Arrangement, with the benefit of advice from their respective financial and legal advisors and input from EMX's senior management team, a summary of which is presented below. A more fulsome description of the information and factors considered by the Board and the Special Committee is located in the accompanying management information circular of EMX (the "**Circular**"):

* **Top Quality, Globally Diversified Portfolio** The Combined Company will create a peer-leading revenue generating royalty company with combined revenue guidance of US$70 million in 2025 and analyst consensus revenue of US$80 million in 2026[<sup>1</sup>](#_ftn1), underpinned by strong growth visibility. The Combined Company is expected to maintain a gold focused portfolio with projected adjusted revenue relating to a commodity split of 67% precious metals and 33% base metals on a latest quarter revenue basis, providing exposure to record gold prices. The Combined Company will also continue with a strengthened asset portfolio, anchored by four cornerstone royalties with world-class operators, as well as diversification through exposure to 16 paying royalties and 200 total royalties, providing a balanced foundation of immediate cash flow and long-term upside.

* **Meaningful Scale.** The Combined Company results in a larger, well capitalized entity with a lower cost of capital, positioned to pursue further accretive royalty opportunities in the market. Graduating to become a mid-tier royalty company, with a materially higher combined revenue than the junior royalty companies, will fill a gap in the market left by recent industry consolidation. Further, the combined trading liquidity and expected indexation demand is anticipated to help close the valuation gap with peers. The Combined Company has a definitive trajectory, including the pursuit of a listing on NASDAQ, or at the discretion of Elemental Altus, NYSE American prior to the closing of the Arrangement.

* **Future Growth.** The Combined Company is expected to benefit from complementary management expertise, uniting Elemental Altus' proven track record of accretive royalty acquisitions with EMX's disciplined royalty generation and acquisition capabilities. Additionally, the royalty generation business presents a unique differentiator, offering low cost, organic growth.

* **Fairness Opinions.** The Board received a fairness opinion from CIBC World Markets and the Special Committee received a fairness opinion from Haywood, each dated September 4, 2025, and each to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, in each case based upon and subject to the respective assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth in each such opinion, as more fully described in the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Opinions of Financial Advisors*".

* **Support of Directors, Officers and Shareholders.** The boards of directors of each of EMX and Elemental Altus (subject to abstentions where legally required) and the Special Committee have unanimously recommended support for the Arrangement. Additionally, the directors and senior officers and certain shareholders of each of EMX and Elemental Altus have entered into voting and support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting and in favour of the Elemental Altus Resolutions (as defined below) at the special meeting (the "**Elemental Altus Meeting**") of Elemental Altus Shareholders to be held on November 4, 2025, as applicable. Additionally, the Elemental Altus Financing (as defined below) emphasizes strong investor confidence (including Tether (as defined below)) in the strategy and long-term vision of the Combined Company, and will provide it significant financial capacity and facilitate the Combined Company being unlevered upon completion of the Arrangement.

[1](#_ftnref1) Based on figures (i) with respect to EMX from National Bank Financial Inc. and as of August 12, 2025, and (ii) with respect to Elemental Altus from each of Raymond James Ltd. and National Bank Financial Inc. as of August 19, 2025 and from Canaccord Genuity Corp. as of May 26, 2025.

------

* **Negotiated Transaction.** The Arrangement Agreement is the result of a comprehensive negotiation process with respect to the key elements of the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Arrangement, which includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the Board and the Special Committee. The Arrangement provides for a 21.5% premium on the 20 day volume weighted average price to Shareholders and management of EMX who will be taking on management positions with the Combined Company including the CEO and CFO roles.

* **Other Factors.** The Board and the Special Committee also carefully considered the Arrangement with reference to current economics, industry and market trends affecting each of EMX and Elemental Altus in the royalty, metals and mining industry, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, risks, operating results and prospects of each of EMX and Elemental Altus, taking into account the results of EMX's due diligence review of Elemental Altus and its royalty interests.

We believe that the business combination with Elemental Altus brings with it an exciting future for EMX and our Securityholders. For additional information with respect to these and other reasons for the Arrangement, see the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Reasons for Recommendation of the Board*".

**Your vote is important.** Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting in person, we encourage you to vote promptly.

Regardless of whether Securityholders are attending the Meeting in person, Securityholders are encouraged to promptly submit the enclosed proxy form, or VIF, as applicable. Securityholders may vote online, by telephone or by mail. Proxies to be used at the Meeting, must be received by EMX's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025 (or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, by the time that is 48 hours prior to the commencement of the adjourned or postponed Meeting, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). See the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part VIII - General Proxy Matters*".

**Securityholders that have questions or require further assistance, please contact EMX's proxy solicitation agent and securityholder communications advisor, Laurel Hill Advisory Group, by: (i) telephone, toll-free for Securityholders in North America at 1-877-452-7184, or collect call for Securityholders outside of North America at 416-304-0211; or (ii) e-mail to** <u>**assistance@laurelhill.com**</u>**. See the back page of this Circular for other methods of contacting EMX's proxy solicitation agent and securityholder communications advisor.**

**Required Approval**

In order to become effective, the resolution approving the Arrangement (the "**Arrangement Resolution**"), the full text of which is set out in Appendix A to the accompanying Circular, must be approved by (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting; (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders and Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes cast by certain Shareholders required to be excluded under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - *Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions* of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("**MI 61-101**"). See the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Securities Law Matters - Canada*". Completion of the Arrangement is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Securityholders, the receipt of the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval (as defined below), the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Elemental Altus Financing, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("**TSX-V**") for the Arrangement, and the conditional approval or authorization for listing of the Elemental Altus Shares to be issued as the Consideration (and upon exercise of the Replacement Options and adjusted EMX Warrants) on the TSX-V and a U.S. stock exchange. The Arrangement will not proceed if any of such approvals are not obtained subject to limited exceptions in certain instances.

------

At the Elemental Altus Meeting, the Elemental Altus Shareholders will be asked to consider resolutions approving (a) a non-brokered private placement (the "**Elemental Altus Financing**") of 7,502,502 Elemental Altus Shares at a price of C$18.38 (or US$13.33) to raise gross proceeds of approximately US$100,000,000 (the "**Elemental Altus Financing Resolution**"), pursuant to the requirements of MI 61-101; (b) Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V. ("**Tether**") as a "Control Person" of Elemental Altus pursuant to TSX-V policies (the "**Elemental Altus Control Person Resolution**"); (c) the change of Elemental Altus' name to "Elemental Royalty Corp." (the "**Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution**", and collectively, the "**Elemental Altus Resolutions**"), and/or such other approvals, including disinterested or minority approvals, in each case as may be required by the TSX-V and/or applicable Securities Laws, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. The "**Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval**" means the approval of the Elemental Altus Resolutions (other than the Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution) at the Elemental Altus Meeting, which must be approved by at least (a) a simple majority of votes cast on the Elemental Altus Financing Resolution, excluding for this purpose votes cast by certain Elemental Altus Shareholders required to be excluded under MI 61-101, including without limitation, votes cast by Tether; and (b) a simple majority votes cast on the Elemental Altus Control Person Resolution, excluding for this purpose votes cast by Tether and its associates and affiliates.

**Support Agreements**

All senior officers and directors of EMX, along with certain Shareholders, who collectively hold approximately 22.62% of the outstanding EMX Shares and approximately 61.99% of the outstanding EMX Options, each as of the Record Date, have entered into voting and support agreements with Elemental Altus, pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their EMX Shares and/or EMX Options in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

**Board Recommendation**

The Board received an opinion from CIBC World Markets Inc. and the Special Committee received an opinion from Haywood Securities Inc., each dated September 4, 2025 and each to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, in each case based upon and subject to the respective assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth in such opinion. **The Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter), based on its considerations, investigations and deliberations of a number of factors, including (i) a thorough review of the Arrangement Agreement, (ii) consultation with representatives of EMX's management team, its financial and legal advisors, (iii) the fairness opinions of CIBC World Markets Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc., (iv) the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, (v) the reasons and risks relating to the Arrangement as further described in the accompanying Circular and (vi) other relevant matters, has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and unanimously recommends that the Securityholders vote** <u>**FOR**</u> **the Arrangement Resolution.** See the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Recommendation of the Board*".

The accompanying Circular contains a detailed description of the Arrangement, as well as detailed information regarding EMX and Elemental Altus and certain other information concerning the Combined Company following completion of the Arrangement. It also includes certain risk factors relating to completion of the Arrangement and the potential tax consequences to a Shareholder exchanging their EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares in connection with the Arrangement.

Additional important information is also contained in the Appendices to, and the documents incorporated by reference into, this Circular.

**Questions Relating to the Arrangement**

**Q. What is the proposed transaction?**

A. On September 4, 2025, EMX, Elemental Altus and Acquireco entered into the Arrangement Agreement, whereby the Parties agreed to, among other things, effect a business combination pursuant to a court-approved arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the BCBCA. Under the terms of the Arrangement, Shareholders will receive 0.2822 Elemental Altus Shares for each EMX Share. Optionholders will receive Replacement Options exercisable to purchase a number of Elemental Altus Shares equal to the number of EMX Shares subject to such EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Elemental Altus Shares) at an exercise price per Elemental Altus Share being the exercise price per EMX Share underlying such EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

------

The Arrangement cannot proceed unless a number of conditions are satisfied, including approval of Arrangement Resolution by the Securityholders. See "*Part II - The Arrangement Agreement"*.

**Q. What is the Recommendation of the Board?**

A. The Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter), based on, among a number of other factors, the fairness opinions of CIBC World Markets and Haywood (as discussed further in this Circular in the section "*Part I - The Arrangement - Opinions of Financial Advisors*"), and having received and reviewed the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, and other relevant matters, has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and unanimously recommends that the Securityholders vote <u>**FOR**</u> the Arrangement Resolution, the full text of which is set forth in Appendix A to this Circular, at the Meeting.

**Q. Why is the Board making this recommendation?**

A. In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendation, the Board and the Special Committee consulted with representatives of EMX's management team and their respective legal and financial advisors, and in the case of the Board, the Special Committee. The Board and the Special Committee also reviewed a significant amount of technical, financial and operational information relating to EMX and Elemental Altus and considered a number of factors and reasons, including those listed below.

The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the unanimous determination of the Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter) and the Special Committee that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and the unanimous recommendations of the Board and the Special Committee that Securityholders vote <u>**FOR**</u> the Arrangement Resolution.

* **Top Quality, Globally Diversified Portfolio** The Combined Company will create a peer-leading revenue generating royalty company with combined revenue guidance of US$70 million in 2025 and analyst consensus revenue of US$80 million in 2026[<sup>2</sup>](#_ftn2), underpinned by strong growth visibility. The Combined Company is expected to maintain a gold focused portfolio with projected adjusted revenue relating to a commodity split of 67% precious metals and 33% base metals on a latest quarter revenue basis, providing exposure to record gold prices. The Combined Company will also continue with a strengthened asset portfolio, anchored by four cornerstone royalties with world-class operators, as well as diversification through exposure to 16 paying royalties and 200 total royalties, providing a balanced foundation of immediate cash flow and long-term upside.

* **Meaningful Scale.** The Combined Company results in a larger, well capitalized entity with a lower cost of capital, positioned to pursue further accretive royalty opportunities in the market. Graduating to become a mid-tier royalty company, with a materially higher combined revenue than the junior royalty companies, will fill a gap in the market left by recent industry consolidation. Further, the combined trading liquidity and expected indexation demand is anticipated to help close the valuation gap with peers. The Combined Company has a definitive trajectory, including the pursuit of a listing on NASDAQ, or at the discretion of Elemental Altus, NYSE American prior to the closing of the Arrangement.

* **Future Growth.** The Combined Company is expected to benefit from complementary management expertise, uniting Elemental Altus' proven track record of accretive royalty acquisitions with EMX's disciplined royalty generation and acquisition capabilities. Additionally, the royalty generation business presents a unique differentiator, offering low cost, organic growth.

* **Fairness Opinions.** The Board received a fairness opinion from CIBC World Markets and the Special Committee received a fairness opinion from Haywood, each dated September 4, 2025, and each to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, in each case based upon and subject to the respective assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth in each such opinion, as more fully described in the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Opinions of Financial Advisors*".

------

[2](#_ftnref2) Based on figures (i) with respect to EMX from National Bank Financial Inc. and as of August 12, 2025, and (ii) with respect to Elemental Altus from each of Raymond James Ltd. and National Bank Financial Inc. as of August 19, 2025 and from Canaccord Genuity Corp. as of May 26, 2025.

------

* **Support of Directors, Officers and Shareholders.** The boards of directors of each of EMX and Elemental Altus (subject to abstentions where legally required) and the Special Committee have unanimously recommended support for the Arrangement. Additionally, the directors and senior officers and certain shareholders of each of EMX and Elemental Altus have entered into voting and support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting and in favour of the Elemental Altus Resolutions at the special meeting (the "**Elemental Altus Meeting**") of Elemental Altus Shareholders to be held on November 4, 2025, as applicable. Additionally, the Elemental Altus Financing emphasizes strong investor confidence (including Tether) in the strategy and long-term vision of the Combined Company, and will provide it significant financial capacity and facilitate the Combined Company being unlevered upon completion of the Arrangement.

* **Negotiated Transaction.** The Arrangement Agreement is the result of a comprehensive negotiation process with respect to the key elements of the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Arrangement, which includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the Board and the Special Committee. The Arrangement provides for a 21.5% premium on the 20 day volume weighted average price to Shareholders and management of EMX will be taking on management positions with the Combined Company including the CEO and CFO roles.

* **Other Factors.** The Board and the Special Committee also carefully considered the Arrangement with reference to current economics, industry and market trends affecting each of EMX and Elemental Altus in the royalty, metals and mining industry, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, risks, operating results and prospects of each of EMX and Elemental Altus, taking into account the results of EMX's due diligence review of Elemental Altus and its royalty interests.

Based on these and other considerations, investigations and deliberations of a number of factors, including: (i) a thorough review of the Arrangement Agreement, (ii) consultation with representatives of EMX's management team, its financial and legal advisors, (iii) the CIBC World Markets Opinion and the Haywood Opinion (as discussed further in this Circular in the section "*Part I - The Arrangement - Opinions of Financial Advisors*"), (iv) the reasons described in this Circular under the heading "*Part I - The Arrangement - Reasons for Recommendation of the Board*" and the risks described in this Circular under the heading "*Part III - Risk Factors*" and (v) such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, the Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter) and the Special Committee have each unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and unanimously recommend that the Securityholders vote <u>**FOR**</u> the Arrangement Resolution, the full text of which is set forth in Appendix A to this Circular, at the Meeting.

**Q. What percentage of the outstanding Elemental Altus Shares will former Shareholders of EMX and existing Elemental Altus Shareholders own, respectively, following completion of the Arrangement?**

A. Upon completion of the Arrangement and the Concurrent Elemental Altus Financing, subject to certain assumptions including that no additional EMX Shares are issued prior to the Effective Time and that there are no Dissenting Shareholders, former Shareholders of EMX (including former holders of EMX RSUs) and existing Elemental Altus Shareholders are expected to own approximately 49% and 51% of the issued and outstanding Elemental Altus Shares, respectively, based on the number of securities of EMX and Elemental Altus issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular.

**Q. What is required for the Arrangement to become effective?**

A. The obligations of EMX, Elemental Altus and Acquireco to consummate the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the required vote of Securityholders at the Meeting in accordance with the Interim Order, (ii) the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval by the required vote of Elemental Altus Shareholders at the Elemental Altus Meeting, (iii) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Elemental Altus Financing, (iv) the conditional approval or authorization for listing of the Consideration Shares (and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants) on the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange, (v) the Final Order having been obtained from the Court in form and substance satisfactory to each of Elemental Altus and EMX, each acting reasonably, and not having been set aside or modified in a manner unacceptable to either EMX or Elemental Altus, each acting reasonably, on appeal or otherwise, (vi) the Key Regulatory Approvals and Key Third Party Consents shall have been obtained and shall not have been modified or withdrawn, (vii) no prohibition at Law existing, including a cease trade order, injunction or other prohibition or order at Law or under applicable legislation, against Elemental Altus or EMX which shall prevent the consummation of the Arrangement, and (viii) the distribution of the securities pursuant to the Arrangement shall be exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Securities Laws either by virtue of exemptive relief from the securities regulatory authorities of each of the provinces and territories of Canada or by virtue of applicable exemptions under Securities Laws and shall not be subject to resale restrictions under applicable Securities Laws (other than as applicable to control persons or pursuant to Section 2.6 of NI 45-102). The Arrangement was also subject to the Consolidation being completed, which condition was satisfied on September 16, 2025.

------

**Q. When is the Arrangement expected to be completed?**

A. EMX currently anticipates that the Arrangement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. However, completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions and it is possible that factors outside the control of EMX and/or Elemental Altus could result in the Arrangement being completed at a later time, or not at all (for a description of risks relating to the Arrangement, see the section of the Circular entitled "*Part III - Risk Factors*"). Subject to certain limitations, each Party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement is not consummated by February 4, 2026, and in no event will completion of the Arrangement occur later than February 4, 2026, unless (i) extended by mutual agreement of the Parties or (ii) extended by any one Party for a period of not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days under certain conditions, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

**Q. What are the Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to the Shareholders?**

A. For a summary of certain of the material Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement applicable to Shareholders, see "*Part IV - Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations*". Such summary is not intended to be legal or tax advice. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the Arrangement to them with respect to their particular circumstances.

**Q. What are the United States federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement?**

A. For a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement applicable to Shareholders, see "*Part V - Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations*". Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal tax consequences of the Arrangement.

**Q. Are there any risks I should consider in connection with the Arrangement?**

A. Securityholders should consider a number of risk factors relating to the Arrangement and EMX in evaluating whether to approve the Arrangement Resolution. In addition to the risk factors described under the heading "*Risk and Uncertainties*" in the EMX AIF and under the heading "*Risk Factors*" in the Elemental Altus AIF, which risk factors are specifically incorporated by reference into this Circular, and the risk factors described under Appendix I, "*Information Concerning EMX"* appended to this Circular and under Appendix J, "*Information Concerning Elemental Altus*" appended to this Circular, the following is a list of certain additional and supplemental risk factors which Securityholders should carefully consider before making a decision regarding approving the Arrangement Resolution:

* the Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, and there is no certainty that all conditions will be satisfied or waived;

* Shareholders will receive a fixed number of Elemental Altus Shares and the market value of Elemental Altus Shares may fluctuate prior to and following completion of the Arrangement;

------

* the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances;

* while the Arrangement is pending, EMX is restricted from pursuing alternatives to the Arrangement and taking other certain actions;

* EMX could be required to pay Elemental Altus a termination fee of approximately C$15.75 million in specified circumstances;

* EMX will incur costs even if the Arrangement is not completed and EMX may have to pay various expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement, including up to C$2 million as an expense reimbursement to Elemental Altus if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances;

* if the Arrangement is not consummated by the Outside Date, either EMX or Elemental Altus may elect not to proceed with the Arrangement;

* EMX and Elemental Altus may become the targets of legal claims, securities class actions, derivative lawsuits and other claims, and any such claims may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed;

* uncertainty surrounding the Arrangement could adversely affect EMX's or Elemental Altus' retention of personnel and business relationships and could negatively impact future business and operations;

* the pending Arrangement may divert the attention of EMX's and Elemental Altus' management;

* Dissent Rights may result in payments that impair EMX's financial resources or result in Elemental Altus electing not to complete the Arrangement;

* EMX directors and officers may have interests in the Arrangement different from the interests of Securityholders following completion of the Arrangement;

* Tax consequences of the Arrangement may differ from anticipated treatment, including that if the Arrangement does not qualify as a tax-deferred Reorganization, some Shareholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes;

* the issuance of a significant number of Elemental Altus Shares and a resulting "market overhang" could adversely affect the market price of the Elemental Altus Shares after completion of the Arrangement;

* EMX has not verified the reliability of the information regarding Elemental Altus included in, or which may have been omitted from this Circular;

* there are risks related to the integration of EMX's and Elemental Altus' existing businesses;

* the relative trading price of the EMX Shares and Elemental Altus Shares prior to the Effective Time and the trading price of the Elemental Altus Shares following the Effective Time may be volatile;

* following completion of the Arrangement, the Combined Company may issue additional equity securities or incur additional debt;

* failure by Elemental Altus and/or EMX to comply with applicable Laws prior to the Arrangement could subject the Combined Company to penalties and other adverse consequences following completion of the Arrangement; and

------

* the Combined Company will have a significant shareholder, and dispositions of common shares of the Combined Company by the significant shareholder could have an adverse effect on the market price of the common shares of the Combined Company.

**Q. What will happen to EMX if the Arrangement is completed?**

A. If the Arrangement is completed, Elemental Altus will acquire, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, all of the EMX Shares and Amalco will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental Altus. Elemental Altus intends to have the EMX Shares delisted from the TSX-V and the NYSE American as promptly as possible following the Effective Date. In addition, subject to applicable Laws, Elemental Altus will apply to have EMX cease to be a reporting issuer in all jurisdictions in which it is a reporting issuer and thus will terminate EMX's public company reporting obligations in Canada following completion of the Arrangement.

**Q. What will happen if the Arrangement Resolution is not approved or the Arrangement is not completed for any reason?**

A. If the Arrangement Resolution is not approved or the Arrangement is not completed for any reason, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated and EMX will continue to operate independently. In certain circumstances, EMX or Elemental Altus will be required to pay to the other the Termination Fee in connection with such termination. In certain other circumstances in which the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, either Elemental Altus or EMX may be required to pay to the other an expense reimbursement in an amount equal to C$2 million or a termination fee of approximately C$15.75 million. If, for any reason, the Arrangement is not completed or its completion is materially delayed and/or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, the market price of the EMX Shares may be materially adversely affected and EMX's business, financial condition or results of operations could also be subject to various material adverse consequences, including that EMX would remain liable for costs relating to the Arrangement.

**Q. Why am I being asked to approve the Arrangement?**

A. Pursuant to the Interim Order and the BCBCA, in order to proceed with the Arrangement, EMX is required to obtain the approval of its Securityholders by special resolution passed by (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting; (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders and Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes cast by certain Shareholders required to be excluded under MI 61-101. If the requisite approval of the Securityholders for the Arrangement Resolution is not obtained, the Arrangement will not be completed.

**Q Should I send in my proxy now?**

A: Yes. Once you have carefully read and considered the information in this Circular, you should complete and submit the enclosed form of proxy or VIF. You are encouraged to vote well in advance of the proxy cut-off time at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025 to ensure your EMX Shares and/or EMX Options are voted at the Meeting. If the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, your proxy must be received not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays recognized in the province of British Columbia) prior to the time of the commencement of the reconvened Meeting. Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chair of the Meeting in their discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Chair of the Meeting has the discretion to accept proxies received after such deadline. The Chair of the Meeting is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at their discretion, without notice.

**Q. Are Shareholders entitled to Dissent Rights?**

A. Yes. Pursuant to the Interim Order, Registered Shareholders have Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. If the Arrangement Resolution is passed, a Registered Shareholder that has duly and validly exercised their Dissent Rights in accordance with the provisions of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court, will be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the fair value of their EMX Shares as of the close of business on the business day before the Arrangement Resolution was approved. Dissent Rights and the dissent procedures are described in the accompanying Circular.

------

A Registered Shareholder wishing to exercise rights of dissent with respect to the Arrangement must send to EMX a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution, which written objection must be sent to EMX (i) c/o Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8 (Attention: Jessica Lewis) and (ii) with a copy by email to <u>jlewis@cassels.com</u>, to be received by no later 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the day that is two business days prior to the new date of the Meeting, and must otherwise strictly comply with the dissent procedures set forth in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court.

A. If your EMX Shares are not registered in your name, but are held in the name of an Intermediary (usually a bank, trust company, securities broker or other financial institution), your Intermediary is required to seek your instructions as to how to vote your EMX Shares. Your Intermediary will have provided you with a package of information, including these meeting materials and either a form of proxy or a VIF. Carefully follow the instructions accompanying the form of proxy or VIF. EMX Shares held by Intermediaries can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Non-Registered Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the Intermediary is prohibited from voting EMX Shares for their clients.

Additionally, EMX may use the Broadridge QuickVote<sup>TM</sup> service to assist Shareholders with voting their EMX Shares. Certain Non-Registered Shareholders who have not objected to EMX knowing who they are (NOBOs) may be contacted by Laurel Hill Advisory Group, EMX's proxy solicitation agent and securityholder communications advisor, to conveniently obtain a vote directly over the telephone. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides the appropriate instructions with respect to the EMX Shares to be represented at the Meeting.

The financial statements of EMX were audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The financial statements of Elemental Altus were audited in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Circular are reported in U.S. dollars and have been prepared by Elemental Altus management in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with IFRS Accounting Standards.

**Pro Forma Financial Information**

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Circular give effect to the Arrangement and certain related adjustments described in the notes accompanying such financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma interim consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2025 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Elemental Altus as of June 30, 2025, with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position of EMX as of June 30, 2025, giving effect to the Arrangement as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma interim consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of income and comprehensive income of Elemental Altus for the six months ended June 30, 2025 with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of income of EMX for the six months ended June 30, 2025, giving effect to the Arrangement as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 combines the audited consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss of Elemental Altus for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the audited consolidated statement of loss of of EMX for the year ended December 31, 2024, giving effect to the Arrangement as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes:

* the Elemental Altus Annual Financial Statements incorporated by reference into this Circular,

* the Elemental Altus Interim Financial Statements incorporated by reference into this Circular,

* the EMX Annual Financial Statements incorporated by reference into this Circular, and

* the EMX Interim Financial Statements incorporated by reference into this Circular.

The historical consolidated financial statements of EMX and Elemental Altus have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and in their presentation and reporting currency of U.S. dollars. Adjustments were made to EMX's financial statements to conform EMX's historical accounting presentation to Elemental Altus' accounting presentation. See Appendix M "*Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information*" attached to this Circular.

The final purchase consideration for the acquisition of EMX will be based on the actual closing price per Elemental Altus Share on the Effective Date, which could differ materially from the assumed closing price per Elemental Altus Share used to estimate the purchase consideration for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Further, no effect has been given to any other new EMX Shares that may be issued (e.g. pursuant to the exercise or settlement of outstanding EMX Convertible Securities) subsequent to the date of this Circular and prior to the closing of the Arrangement. The stock price used for the preliminary purchase consideration for the acquisition of EMX is the closing price of Elemental Altus Shares on September 4, 2025 ($20.50 per share (on a post-Consolidation basis assuming the Consolidation had occurred as of September 4, 2025)), the most recent date practicable prior to the date of this Circular.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what the Combined Company's financial condition and results of operations following completion of the Arrangement would have been had the Arrangement occurred on the dates indicated. It also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of the operations of the Combined Company following completion of the Arrangement. The actual financial position and results of operations of the Combined Company following completion of the Arrangement may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information due to a variety of factors.

------

The unaudited pro forma information and adjustments, including the allocation of the purchase price, are based upon preliminary estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, current available information and certain assumptions that Elemental Altus believes are reasonable in the circumstances, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The actual adjustments to the consolidated financial statements of Elemental Altus upon closing of the Arrangement will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, the price of Elemental Altus Shares used to value the Consideration, the actual expenses of the Arrangement and other additional information that becomes available after the date of this Circular. As a result, it is expected that actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material.

Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are being made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities Laws, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada and furnished to Securityholders in the United States solely to explain the proposals to be considered at the Meeting, each as described in more detail in this Circular. Securityholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act. Securityholders in the United States should also be aware that other requirements under Canadian Laws may differ from those required under United States corporate laws and U.S. Securities Laws and United States federal and state securities legislation.

**THE CONSIDERATION SHARES AND THE REPLACEMENT OPTIONS ISSUABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES IN ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES OF ANY STATE PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.**

Each of the (i) Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for EMX Shares and (ii) Replacement Options to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for EMX Options have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any other U.S. Securities Laws, and are being issued in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption on the basis of the approval of the Court, and similar exemptions from the registration requirements under applicable state U.S. Securities Laws. Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act exempts the issuance of any securities issued in exchange for one or more *bona fide* outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, that is expressly authorized by Law to grant such approval, after a hearing upon the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue the securities have the right to appear and receive timely and adequate notice thereof. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be considered. The Court issued the Interim Order on September 29, 2025 and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement by the Shareholders, a hearing of the application for the Final Order is currently scheduled to take place at the courthouse of the Court at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 0C8 on November 7, 2025 at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time), or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard. All persons who will receive Consideration Shares or Replacement Options in the Arrangement are entitled to appear and be heard at this hearing. The Final Order will constitute a basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the Consideration Shares to be received by Securityholders in exchange for their EMX Shares, and the Replacement Options to be issued to Optionholders in exchange for their EMX Options, each pursuant to the Arrangement. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed of the Parties' intended reliance on the Final Order as the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption.

The exemption pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act will not be available for the issuance of any Elemental Altus Shares that are issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options or the EMX Warrants. Therefore, the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants may not be exercised or converted in the United States or by or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, nor may Elemental Altus Shares be issued upon such exercise or conversion, unless pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state U.S. Securities Laws (in which case they will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act), or following registration under such Laws. Elemental Altus has agreed that, on or as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, it will file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC to register the issuance of Elemental Shares upon exercise of the Replacement Options from time to time after the Effective Time. Elemental Altus has no present intention to register under the U.S. Securities Act the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the EMX Warrants and no assurance can be made that Elemental Altus will register, or has taken effective steps to register, such Elemental Altus Shares in the future.

------

The Consideration Shares issuable in exchange for EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (which, for avoidance of doubt, does not include Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options or EMX Warrants) will be, upon completion of the Arrangement, freely tradeable under the U.S. Securities Act, except by persons who are "affiliates" (within the meaning of Rule 144) of Elemental Altus at such time or were affiliates of Elemental Altus within 90 days before such time. The determination of whether a person is an "affiliate" depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. Persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of an issuer (e.g., Elemental Altus) generally include individuals or entities that directly or indirectly control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, the issuer, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as certain major shareholders of the issuer. Any resale of such Consideration Shares by such an "affiliate" (or former "affiliate") may be subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, absent an exemption or exclusion therefrom. See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Securities Law Matters - United States*".

Information concerning the operations and business of Elemental Altus and EMX contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian Securities Laws, which differ from the requirements of U.S. Securities Laws. Securityholders in the United States should be aware that although the unaudited historical interim financial statements and audited historical annual financial statements of EMX and other financial information included or incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in U.S. dollars, such financial statements and other financial information included or incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (annual statements) and IAS 34 (quarterly statements), which differ in certain material respects from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States, or GAAP, and thus may not be comparable in all respects to financial statements and information of United States companies prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial statements of Elemental Altus for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were audited in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and IFRS. Elemental Altus' auditor is required to be independent with respect to Elemental Altus within the meaning of the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia Code of Professional Conduct. The financial statements of EMX for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were audited in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. EMX's auditor is required to be independent with respect to EMX within the meaning of the Code of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia and in accordance with the U.S. Securities Laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB.

Shareholders subject to United States federal taxation should be aware that the tax consequences to them of the Arrangement under certain United States federal income tax laws described in this Circular are a summary only. They are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of participating in the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Consideration Shares acquired in exchange for EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and/or Replacement Options issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for the EMX Options. See "*Part V - Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations*" for certain information concerning the tax consequences of the Arrangement for U.S. Holders who are United States taxpayers.

The enforcement by Securityholders of rights, claims and civil liabilities under the U.S. Securities Laws may be affected adversely by the fact that EMX and Elemental Altus are organized or incorporated under the Laws of Canada, that most of the officers and directors of EMX and Elemental Altus are residents of countries other than the United States, that most or all of the experts named in this Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein are residents of countries other than the United States, and that substantial portions of the assets of EMX and Elemental Altus are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Securityholders to effect service of process within the United States upon EMX, Elemental Altus and their respective officers, directors or experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities Laws of the United States or "blue sky" Laws of any state within the United States. In addition, Securityholders should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities Laws of the United States or "blue sky" Laws of any state within the United States or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities Laws of the United States or "blue sky" Laws of any state within the United States.

**No intermediary, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by EMX.**

**THE ARRANGEMENT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY SUCH STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED ON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE ARRANGEMENT OR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.**

**Cautionary Note to United States Securityholders Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources**

This Circular has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ in certain material aspects from the previous and current standards of the U.S. Securities Laws and the U.S. Securities Act. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced herein and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards.

In contrast, the SEC's rules for disclosure regarding mineral properties, including with respect to estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources, are set forth in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("**Subpart 1300**") promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, which differs in certain material respects from NI 43-101. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, EMX is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under Subpart 1300 and provides disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that information regarding EMX's mineral properties, including with respect to estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources, contained or incorporated by reference herein are not directly comparable with, and may differ in certain material respects from, similar information disclosed by United States companies that disclose information regarding mineral properties in accordance with Subpart 1300. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserve". Under U.S. standards under Subpart 1300, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made by a "qualified person" (as such term is defined under Subpart 1300) that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. United States investors should also understand that "inferred mineral resources" have a high level of geological uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of "reserves" are also not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves reported in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as "reserves" under Subpart 1300. Accordingly, information contained in this Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the U.S. Securities Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

**Currency Exchange Rates**

EMX and Elemental Altus publish their consolidated financial statements in United States dollars. In this Circular, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and references to "**dollars**", "**US$**" or "**$**" are to United States dollars and references to <sup>"</sup>**C$**<sup>"</sup> are to Canadian dollars.

On September 4, 2025, the trading day immediately prior to the Announcement Date, the average daily exchange rate as reported by the Bank of Canada was US$1.00 = C$1.3829 or C$1.00 = US$0.7231. On September 25, 2025, the Bank of Canada daily average exchange rate for U.S. dollars published on the Bank of Canada's website was US$1.00 = C$1.3927 or C$1.00 = US$0.7180.

**The Arrangement**

***Details of the Arrangement***

On September 4, 2025, EMX, Elemental Altus and Acquireco entered into the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Parties have agreed to effect a business combination.

The Arrangement will be effected pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the BCBCA. The Parties intend to rely upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Replacement Options pursuant to the Arrangement.

If completed, the Arrangement will result in Elemental Altus acquiring, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, all of the issued and outstanding EMX Shares on the Effective Date, and Amalco will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental Altus. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, beginning at the Effective Time, the transactions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement will take place that will result in, among other things, Shareholders (excluding Dissenting Shareholders) receiving 0.2822 Elemental Altus Shares for each EMX Share and Optionholders receiving appropriately adjusted Replacement Options in exchange for their EMX Options held at the Effective Time.

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Details of the Arrangement*".

***Background to the Arrangement***

The Arrangement Agreement is the result of arm's length negotiations among representatives of Elemental Altus and EMX and their respective legal and financial advisors, as more fully described herein.

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Background to the Arrangement*".

***Recommendation of the EMX Board***

The Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter), based on its considerations, investigations and deliberations of a number of factors, including: (i) a thorough review of the Arrangement Agreement, (ii) consultation with representatives of EMX's management team, its financial and legal advisors, (iii) the CIBC World Markets Opinion and the Haywood Opinion, (iv) the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, (v) the factors and reasons described in this Circular under the heading "*Part I - The Arrangement - Reasons for Recommendation of the Board*" and the risks described in this Circular under the heading "*Part III - Risk Factors*" and (vi) such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, unanimously determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of EMX and authorized EMX to enter into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. **Accordingly, the Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter) unanimously recommends that Securityholders vote** <u>**FOR**</u> **the Arrangement Resolution**.

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Recommendation of the Board*".

***Reasons for the Recommendation of the EMX Board***

In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendation, the Board and the Special Committee consulted with representatives of EMX's management team and their respective legal and financial advisors, and in the case of the Board, the Special Committee. The Board and the Special Committee also reviewed a significant amount of technical, financial, legal and operational information relating to Elemental Altus and EMX and considered a number of factors and reasons, including those listed below. The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the unanimous determination of the Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter) and the Special Committee that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and the unanimous recommendation of each of the Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter) and the Special Committee that Securityholders vote <u>**FOR**</u> the Arrangement Resolution.

* **Top Quality, Globally Diversified Portfolio** The Combined Company will create a peer-leading revenue generating royalty company with combined revenue guidance of US$70 million in 2025 and analyst consensus revenue of US$80 million in 2026[<sup>3</sup>](#_ftn3), underpinned by strong growth visibility. The Combined Company is expected to maintain a gold focused portfolio with projected adjusted revenue relating to a commodity split of 67% precious metals and 33% base metals on a latest quarter revenue basis, providing exposure to record gold prices. The Combined Company will also continue with a strengthened asset portfolio, anchored by four cornerstone royalties with world-class operators, as well as diversification through exposure to 16 paying royalties and 200 total royalties, providing a balanced foundation of immediate cash flow and long-term upside.

------

[3](#_ftnref3) Based on figures (i) with respect to EMX from National Bank Financial Inc. and as of August 12, 2025, and (ii) with respect to Elemental Altus from each of Raymond James Ltd. and National Bank Financial Inc. as of August 19, 2025 and from Canaccord Genuity Corp. as of May 26, 2025.

------

* **Meaningful Scale.** The Combined Company results in a larger, well capitalized entity with a lower cost of capital, positioned to pursue further accretive royalty opportunities in the market. Graduating to become a mid-tier royalty company, with a materially higher combined revenue than the junior royalty companies, will fill a gap in the market left by recent industry consolidation. Further, the combined trading liquidity and expected indexation demand is anticipated to help close the valuation gap with peers. The Combined Company has a definitive trajectory, including the pursuit of a listing on NASDAQ, or at the discretion of Elemental Altus, NYSE American prior to the closing of the Arrangement.

* **Future Growth.** The Combined Company is expected to benefit from complementary management expertise, uniting Elemental Altus' proven track record of accretive royalty acquisitions with EMX's disciplined royalty generation and acquisition capabilities. Additionally, the royalty generation business presents a unique differentiator, offering low cost, organic growth.

* **Fairness Opinions.** The Board received a fairness opinion from CIBC World Markets and the Special Committee received a fairness opinion from Haywood, each dated September 4, 2025, and each to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, in each case based upon and subject to the respective assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth in each such opinion, as more fully described in the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Opinions of Financial Advisors*".

* **Support of Directors, Officers and Shareholders.** The boards of directors of each of EMX and Elemental Altus (subject to abstentions where legally required) and the Special Committee have unanimously recommended support for the Arrangement. Additionally, the directors and senior officers and certain shareholders of each of EMX and Elemental Altus have entered into voting and support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting and in favour of the Elemental Altus Resolutions at the special meeting (the "**Elemental Altus Meeting**") of Elemental Altus Shareholders to be held on November 4, 2025, as applicable. Additionally, the Elemental Altus Financing emphasizes strong investor confidence (including Tether) in the strategy and long-term vision of the Combined Company, and will provide it significant financial capacity and facilitate the Combined Company being unlevered upon completion of the Arrangement.

* **Negotiated Transaction.** The Arrangement Agreement is the result of a comprehensive negotiation process with respect to the key elements of the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Arrangement, which includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the Board and the Special Committee. The Arrangement provides for a 21.5% premium on the 20 day volume weighted average price to Shareholders and management of EMX will be taking on management positions with the Combined Company including the CEO and CFO roles.

* **Other Factors.** The Board and the Special Committee also carefully considered the Arrangement with reference to current economics, industry and market trends affecting each of EMX and Elemental Altus in the royalty, metals and mining industry, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, risks, operating results and prospects of each of EMX and Elemental Altus, taking into account the results of EMX's due diligence review of Elemental Altus and its royalty interests.

***Haywood Opinion***

In connection with the Arrangement, at a meeting of the Special Committee held on September 4, 2025, Haywood provided the Special Committee with an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of such date, and based upon its analysis and subject to all of the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out in the Haywood Opinion, and such other matters as Haywood considered relevant, the Consideration to be received by Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

***Arrangement Steps***

The following summary description of the Plan of Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, which is attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement and Appendix D to this Circular, which has been filed by EMX on its SEDAR***+*** profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u> and on EDGAR at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Meeting, the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is obtained at the Elemental Altus Meeting, the Final Order approving the Arrangement is issued by the Court and the applicable conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Elemental Altus Financing and the conditional approval or authorization for listing of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants on the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange), the Arrangement will take effect commencing and effective as at the Effective Time (which will be at 12:01 a.m. (Pacific time)) on the Effective Date (which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025). Commencing at the Effective Time, each of the events set out below shall be deemed to occur sequentially in the following order without any further authorization, act or formality on the part of any person, at five-minute intervals starting at the Effective Time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) each EMX Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a Dissenting Shareholder shall be, and shall be deemed to be, assigned and transferred to EMX in exchange for a debt claim against EMX in an amount determined in accordance with Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan of Arrangement);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) each EMX RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX RSU Holder, immediately vested and exercised in exchange for one EMX Share (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan of Arrangement, and provided that no share certificates or DRS statements shall be issued with respect to such EMX Shares);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) EMX and Acquireco shall amalgamate to form one corporate entity, with the same effect as if they had amalgamated under Section 269 of the BCBCA except the separate legal existence of Acquireco will not cease and Acquireco will survive the amalgamation notwithstanding the issue by the Registrar of a certificate of amalgamation and the assignment of a new incorporation number (Acquireco, as such surviving entity, may be referred to as "Amalco"). Such amalgamation is intended to qualify as an amalgamation as defined in subsection 87(1) of the Tax Act. Upon such amalgamation, the steps set out at subsection 3.1(c)(i) through (xvi) of the Plan of Arrangement with respect to Amalco shall, and shall be deemed to, occur concurrently, including the following the step at Section 3.1(c)(xii) of the Plan of Arrangement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) each EMX Share outstanding, including any EMX Shares issued pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Plan of Arrangement (subject to Section 3.2 and Article 5 of the Plan of Arrangement), shall be cancelled in exchange for the Consideration and the registered holders of such EMX Shares immediately prior to such cancellation shall cease to be the registered holders of such EMX Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) concurrently with (and no earlier than) the issuance of the Consideration in Section 3.1(c)(xii) of the Plan of Arrangement, Elemental Altus shall, and shall be deemed to, issue such number of Elemental Altus Shares to Tether as is required pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Elemental Altus Financing Subscription Agreement if the conditions set out therein have been satisfied or waived as of such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) notwithstanding the EMX Option Plan, each EMX Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX Option Holder, be exchanged for a Replacement Option, each such Replacement Option being exercisable to purchase from Elemental Altus a number of Elemental Altus Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of EMX Shares subject to the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per Elemental Altus Share underlying a Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (X) the exercise price per EMX Share underlying the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (Y) the Exchange Ratio (provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is intended that (i) the provisions of Subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of EMX Options for Replacement Options pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the Plan of Arrangement and (ii) such exchange of options be treated as other than the grant of a new stock right or a change in the form of payment pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of a Replacement Option will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time such that the In-The-Money Value of the Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Value of the EMX Option for which it was exchanged immediately before the exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 3.1(e) of the Plan of Arrangement, each EMX Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the U.S. Tax Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of such EMX Option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the U.S. Tax Code. Except as provided in Section 3.1(e) of the Plan of Arrangement, all terms and conditions of each Replacement Option, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the EMX Option for which it was exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the EMX Option Plan and any document evidencing an EMX Option shall thereafter evidence, and be deemed to evidence, a Replacement Option; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) notwithstanding the EMX DSU Agreements, each EMX DSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX DSU Holder, immediately vested, and shall be exchanged for the right to receive payment from Amalco of a cash amount equal to the Value per Settled DSU (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan of Arrangement).

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Details of the Arrangement - Arrangement Steps*".

***Effect of the Arrangement***

If completed, the Arrangement will result in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) each EMX RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to be immediately vested and shall settle in exchange for one EMX Share (provided that no share certificates or DRS statements shall be issued with respect to such EMX Shares) (subject to any applicable withholdings), and shall be cancelled and cease to be outstanding. Such EMX Shares shall be exchanged for the Consideration, and each such EMX RSU shall be immediately cancelled by EMX and the holders of such EMX RSUs shall cease to be holders thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the issuance of 0.2822 Elemental Altus Shares for each EMX Share held by Shareholders (including former RSU holders as described in (a) above) as at the Effective Time (excluding Dissenting Shareholders);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) each EMX Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be exchanged for a Replacement Option to acquire from Elemental Altus the number of Elemental Altus Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of (A) the number of EMX Shares subject to the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per Elemental Altus Share underlying a Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (X) the exercise price per EMX Share underlying the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (Y) the Exchange Ratio (provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent), and all terms and conditions of each Replacement Option, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the EMX Option for which it was exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the EMX Option Plan and any document evidencing an EMX Option shall thereafter evidence, and be deemed to evidence, a Replacement Option;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) each EMX DSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be immediately vested and be exchanged for the right to receive payment from Amalco of a cash amount equal to the Value per Settled DSU (subject to applicable withholdings); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) in accordance with the terms of the EMX Warrant Certificate, each holder of EMX Warrants shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of such holder's EMX Warrant, in lieu of EMX Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, and for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the Consideration which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EMX Shares to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such holder's EMX Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time.

***Procedure for Exchange of EMX Shares***

A Letter of Transmittal for the Registered Shareholders is enclosed with this Circular. If the Arrangement becomes effective, in order to receive a physical certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing Consideration Shares to which the Shareholder is entitled under the Plan of Arrangement in exchange for the EMX Shares, a Registered Shareholder must deliver the Letter of Transmittal properly completed and duly executed, together with share certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing its EMX Shares and all other required documents to the Depositary at the address set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. If the Arrangement is not completed, the Letter of Transmittal will be of no effect and the Depositary will return all share certificates or DRS Advices representing the EMX Shares to the holders thereof as soon as practicable at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal.

Shareholders whose EMX Shares are registered in the name of an Intermediary must contact their Intermediary to receive the Consideration.

If a Shareholder following the Effective Date fails to deliver and surrender its EMX Shares to the Depositary by the date that is six years after the Effective Date, then the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing such Consideration Shares, to which such former Shareholder was entitled, shall be delivered to Elemental Altus by the Depositary and the share certificates or DRS Advices shall be cancelled by Elemental Altus, and the interest of the former Shareholder in such Consideration Shares to which it was entitled shall be terminated as of such date.

Only Registered Shareholders are required to submit a Letter of Transmittal. A beneficial owner of EMX Shares holding EMX Shares through an Intermediary should contact that Intermediary for instructions and carefully follow any instructions provided by such Intermediary.

While EMX RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exercised in exchange for one EMX Share (less applicable tax withholdings), no share certificates or DRS statements shall be issued with respect to such EMX Shares and former RSU holders will not be required to submit a Letter of Transmittal in order to received the Consideration for such EMX Shares.

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Procedure for Exchange of EMX Shares*".

***Exchange of EMX Options for Replacement Options***

Optionholders do not need to take any actions to receive their Replacement Options. Notices of adjustment in respect of Replacement Options will be delivered to the Optionholders as soon as practicable following the completion of the Arrangement.

***Fractional Consideration under the Arrangement***

Elemental Altus will not issue any fractional Consideration Shares in connection with the Arrangement. Instead, the number of Consideration Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole Consideration Share with no consideration being paid for any fractional Consideration Share.

***Withholding Rights***

Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary and their respective agents, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct or withhold from any consideration or any other amount otherwise payable, issuable or otherwise deliverable to any Securityholder or any other person under the Plan of Arrangement (including any payment to Dissenting Shareholders and holders of EMX DSUs or any consideration delivered to holders of EMX RSUs) such amounts as Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, may reasonably determine, is required to deduct or withhold from such payment under any provision of the Tax Act, U.S. Tax Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of any federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign tax law as is required to be so deducted or withheld by Elemental Altus, Amalco or the Depositary or any other person, as the case may be.

------

See *"Part I - The Arrangement - Withholding Rights*".

***Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement***

In considering the recommendation of the Board and the Special Committee, Securityholders should be aware that certain members of the Board and the senior officers of EMX have interests in the Arrangement or may receive benefits that may differ from, or be in addition to, the interests of Securityholders generally. The Special Committee and the Board were made aware of these interests and considered them, along with the other matters described above in the section entitled "*Reasons for the Recommendation of the EMX Board*", when evaluating and negotiating the Arrangement Agreement and recommending approval of the Arrangement by the Securityholders, as applicable.

See *"Part I - The Arrangement - Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement*".

***Approval of Securityholders Required for the Arrangement***

If the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is not obtained by the Elemental Altus Shareholders, the Arrangement will not be completed, as the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Elemental Altus Financing is a condition precedent to the completion of the Arrangement.

The Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution is required to be approved by 66 2/3% of the cast by all Elemental Altus Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Elemental Altus Meeting. However, the approval of the Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution is not a condition precedent to the completion of the Arrangement.

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Approval of Elemental Altus Shareholders Required for the Arrangement"*

***Court Approvals***

The Arrangement requires approval by the Court under the BCBCA. Prior to the mailing of this Circular, on September 29, 2025, EMX obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters.

Under the Arrangement Agreement, if the Interim Order is obtained and Securityholder Approval is received, EMX is required to seek the Final Order as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within five Business Days thereafter. If the Meeting is held as scheduled and is not adjourned and/or postponed and the Securityholder Approval is obtained, it is expected that EMX will apply for the Final Order approving the Arrangement on November 7, 2025.

At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the procedural and substantive fairness and reasonableness of the Plan of Arrangement. The Court has broad discretion under the BCBCA when making orders with respect to the Plan of Arrangement. The Court may approve the Plan of Arrangement, either as proposed or amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit.

Following completion of the Arrangement, the EMX Shares will be delisted from the TSX-V and the NYSE American as promptly as possible.

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Stock Exchange Listing Approvals and Delisting Matters*".

***Swedish FDI** **Approval***

Under the Swedish FDI Act, there are certain activities which trigger the obligation of investors to notify the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products and obtain Swedish FDI Approval for transactions before they are consummated.

The Arrangement Agreement contemplates that the Parties shall reasonably cooperate, acting in good faith, to determine whether it is necessary or advisable to obtain the Swedish FDI Approval in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, if the Parties determine that the Swedish FDI Approval is necessary or advisable, Acquireco and Elemental shall, within ten Business Days of the date of such determination, submit a notification to the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products and Acquireco and Elemental will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such notification is complete on the day of submission.

The Parties have concluded, in light of the pre-closing divestiture by EMX's Swedish subsidiaries of certain licenses and the sale of certain of EMX's Swedish subsidiaries, that it is not necessary to obtain the Swedish FDI Approval in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Regulatory Matters - Swedish FDI Approval*".

In addition to certain covenants, representations and warranties made by each of EMX and Elemental Altus in the Arrangement Agreement, each Party has provided certain non-solicitation covenants, agreeing not to solicit, promote, facilitate or knowingly encourage an Acquisition Proposal from any third party. However, a Party may, prior to obtaining the EMX Securityholder Approval or Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval, as applicable, respond to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that a Party determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, subject to the other Party's right to match any such Superior Proposal within five Business Days.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of EMX and Elemental Altus and by each Party in certain circumstances as more particularly set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, including the failure to obtain the requisite Securityholder Approval or Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval. Subject to certain limitations, each Party may also terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement Agreement is not consummated by the Outside Date, which date can be extended by written agreement of the Parties or by any one Party for a period of not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days under certain conditions, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

In certain circumstances, EMX or Elemental Altus, as applicable, will be required to pay the other Party a Termination Fee equal to approximately C$15.75 million.

**PART I - THE ARRANGEMENT**

**Details of the Arrangement**

On September 4, 2025, EMX, Elemental Altus and Acquireco entered into the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Parties have agreed to effect a business combination. The Arrangement will be effected pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the BCBCA. The Parties intend to rely upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Replacement Options pursuant to the Arrangement.

If completed, the Arrangement will result in Elemental Altus acquiring, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, all of the issued and outstanding EMX Shares on the Effective Date, and Amalco will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental Altus. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, at the Effective Time, Shareholders (excluding Dissenting Shareholders) will receive 0.2822 Elemental Altus Shares for each EMX Share and Optionholders will receive appropriately adjusted Replacement Options in exchange for their EMX Options held at the Effective Time.

For further information in respect of the Combined Company, see Appendix K to this Circular, *"Information Concerning Combined Company Following Completion of the Arrangement"*.

**Background to the Arrangement**

The execution of the Arrangement Agreement represents the culmination of a significant effort by EMX to explore various business, operational and strategic growth opportunities with a view to enhancing shareholder value. The Arrangement Agreement is the result of arm's length negotiations among representatives of EMX and Elemental Altus and their respective financial and legal advisors and the following is a summary of the material events that preceded the execution of the Arrangement Agreement and public announcement of the Arrangement.

Management of EMX and the Board regularly review and assess EMX's operations, financial performance, and competitive position and relevant industry developments. In connection with this review and assessment, management and the Board periodically consider potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions, business combinations, partnerships and other alternatives that might advance EMX's business and growth objectives, which include the continued execution of a standalone business plan. To facilitate this review, management regularly holds strategy sessions and EMX occasionally engages external financial and legal advisors to provide advice and analysis with respect to any such alternatives. Such review includes evaluating partners and financing sources, engaging in discussions with other parties and the consideration of inquiries from third parties relating to such transactions, and evaluating risks and opportunities.

As part of this evaluation, over the past decade or so, EMX has had ordinary course engagement with several industry peers for the purpose of seeking opportunities for collaboration, asset acquisitions and, in some circumstances, evaluation of more transformational strategic alternatives, including the potential for corporate-level business combinations. At each such juncture, the Board has carefully reviewed and considered such inquiries or proposals in order to determine whether pursuing them would be in the best interests of EMX, its Shareholders and other stakeholders, having regard to EMX's operations, financial performance and industry conditions.

One such entity EMX engaged with over this period was Elemental Altus, and in September 2023, Dave Cole, Chief Executive Officer of EMX, met with a director of Elemental Altus to socialize the prospect of a business combination between the two companies. Both companies agreed to sign a confidentiality agreement to allow the respective management teams to evaluate each other's business, assets and financial condition. Between October 2023 and January 2024, internal reviews were completed and the desirability to complete a proposed transaction was considered. Dialogue in support of understanding the respective assets of the two companies continued between the respective management teams. The companies completed due diligence on one another's assets, with a focus on evaluating potential synergies of the combined businesses, as well as respective net asset values. Technical due diligence information was also shared via data rooms. In addition, both parties had already obtained a level of familiarity with the other's assets through the numerous interactions in prior periods, as well as through existing shared assets.

On February 7, 2024, Elemental Altus submitted to EMX an indicative non-binding expression of interest to the CEO of EMX, reflecting an at-market merger of the two companies. The expression of interest proposed the board of directors and management of the Combined Company include representatives from both Elemental Altus and EMX, along with granting certain investor rights for pro forma significant shareholders of the Combined Company. On February 29, 2024, EMX engaged CIBC to provide financial advisory services in connection with this expression of interest and to assess its strategic alternatives, including any alternative transactions.

------

While the Board, in consultation with CIBC, recognized various strategic benefits and synergies that may arise from a potential transaction with Elemental Altus, ultimately there was no alignment in terms of the consideration being offered to Shareholders from a financial point of view and the pro forma ownership of the combined entity on a go-forward basis. Following deliberations, in March 2024, discussions with Elemental Altus were discontinued.

During the summer of 2024, communications between management of each company continued with the aim of aligning on the consideration being offered to Shareholders from a financial point of view in a manner that would warrant engaging in evaluating and negotiating a business combination transaction. After deliberating with the Board, CIBC and Cassels (legal counsel to EMX), on August 29, 2024, EMX delivered to the CEO of Elemental Altus a revised non-binding expression of interest to Elemental Altus reflecting a merger of the two companies, with an increase in the proposed pro rata share ownership in favour of EMX and revised composition of board and management, and removed the grant of investor rights to significant shareholders. On September 26, 2024, Elemental Altus responded reverting to their proposal to pursue a transaction on the terms set out in the expression of interest in the Elemental Altus offer that was submitted February 7, 2024. After consultation with the Board, EMX determined no further action was warranted.

In early October 2024, EMX and Elemental Altus extended the confidentiality agreement for an additional year to enable continued sharing of technical and financial data and to evaluate each company using customary valuation metrics. However, in early November 2024, it was determined by the Board, in consultation with CIBC, that merger discussions with Elemental Altus be discontinued in part because the 25% increase in outstanding Elemental Altus Shares as a result of recent acquisitions made by Elemental Altus, as well as relative net asset values, that impacted the relative valuations of the two companies.

In early May 2025, David Cole informed the Board of an unsolicited expression of interest received from a United States-based royalty issuer ("**Party A**") regarding a potential merger with EMX. The Board discussed that, although there was no formal offer presented, it was open to exploring a potential transaction. EMX reviewed publicly available information regarding Party A in order to obtain an understanding of its assets and relative net asset value. This was followed by an in-person meeting of management of the respective companies. EMX ultimately determined that, based on the available information, data and evaluations, a business combination with Party A was not practical at that time. All discussions were terminated.

On May 27, 2025, EMX received an unsolicited expression of interest to complete a take-private transaction of EMX in an all-cash transaction priced at an unspecified premium to EMX's current trading price. The Board reviewed the terms of the proposal and noted that the absence of a proposed acquisition price made evaluation of the proposal difficult. Following consultation with CIBC and Cassels, the Board determined that it could maintain communication but that EMX would not pursue the proposal without pricing, and there were no further material discussions on this matter.

In early July 2025, while attending a conference in Florida, Stefan Wenger, Chief Financial Officer of EMX, met with Frederick Bell, Chief Executive Officer of Elemental Altus and Elemental Altus' new Executive Chairman, Juan Sartori. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce EMX to representatives of Tether, who had recently become a 31.9% shareholder of Elemental Altus, as well as to discuss the possibility of re-engaging in business combination discussions. A subsequent meeting of members of management of each company was held in New York, which involved a discussion regarding pursuing a potential business combination transaction, including how to ensure a business combination would deliver value to the shareholders of both companies, and the general terms around offering a premium to the then-current price of the EMX Shares, the desire to maintain the generative business within the combined entity and the potential to draw upon talent from both management teams. On July 14, 2025, David Cole received a revised non-binding expression of interest (the "**LOI**") from Elemental Altus, reflecting a proposed all share merger with EMX at a 20% premium to the 20-day volume weighted trading price of EMX Shares; it also included a thirty (30) day period of exclusivity. The Board reviewed and considered the LOI and consulted with Cassels and CIBC in connection with the same. On July 16, 2025, Cassels delivered a memorandum and slide deck to the Board regarding their fiduciary duties, duty of care and business judgement rule, as well as specific considerations and duties in the context of considering a business combination transaction. On July 17, 2025, the Board met to receive a presentation from Cassels on the legal and fiduciary duties of directors in the context of a potential business combination transaction, including the proposed transaction with Elemental Altus. Cassels also provided an overview of MI 61-101, conflict of interests, and additional procedural safeguards it recommended be followed in order to ensure any proposed transaction was evaluated as part of a robust process. At the same meeting, CIBC provided a comprehensive financial analysis of the potential transaction, including an evaluation of net asset value, risk profile and market comparison (including a market study of potential premiums for this type of transaction). While the Board determined that the transaction terms were not sufficiently compelling for EMX to agree to enter into exclusive negotiations at that time, it was agreed that discussions continue.

------

Later that day on July 17, 2025, David Cole contacted Juan Sartori to advance discussions, during which time an increase to the premium offered to Shareholders was discussed.

At a subsequent meeting of the Board on July 18, 2025, David Cole provided an update on these discussions. The Board, together with its financial and legal advisor, discussed the benefits and risks of entering into exclusive negotiations with Elemental Altus, the nature of the transaction and the necessity of ensuring any exclusivity period was limited in its timeframe. Following this meeting, on July 18, 2025, EMX provided a revised LOI to Elemental Altus, which reflected, among other things, an increased premium to the 20-day volume weighted trading price of EMX Shares.

During this same meeting on July 18, 2025, the Board determined it be prudent to, and did, establish the Special Committee to oversee management's review and assessment of a potential transaction with Elemental Altus, other possible alternative transactions, including a sale of some or all of the EMX Shares to one or more third parties, along with maintaining the status quo. The directors identified the desirability of having independent oversight of the negotiation of the transaction, especially given that certain members of management could retain a role with any combined company, and to a lesser extent, given that management could be entitled to customary change of control payments in connection with the execution of any proposed transaction. Accordingly, the Special Committee was comprised of Sunny Lowe (Chair), Dawson Brisco and Geoff Smith, each of whom confirmed their independence. The Special Committee's mandate included, among others, the following responsibilities and rights: (i) to consider, review and evaluate a potential transaction with Elemental Altus and other possible alternative transactions that may be available to EMX, including maintaining the status quo; (ii) to supervise the negotiation, the terms and conditions of, and preparation of legal agreements and documentation in connection with, a potential transaction; (iii) to advise the Board whether or not any potential transaction is in the best interests of EMX and should be recommended to Shareholders for approval; (iv) to supervise the preparation of, and review any, documentation and public disclosure related to a potential transaction; (v) to report to the Board its findings and recommendations in respect of a potential transaction and any related matters; and (vi) to consider all matters, do all things and exercise all powers necessary, appropriate or incidental to the foregoing that the Special Committee determines to be necessary or advisable.

Ms. Lowe, as Chair of the Special Committee, sought legal advice from Cassels on July 19, 2025, and following that discussion scheduled an inaugural Special Committee meeting on July 22, 2025, with invited guests present. During that meeting of the Special Committee on July 22, 2025, David Cole provided an update on the potential transaction with Elemental Altus, including an overview of his discussions with Messrs. Bell and Sartori, and the opportunity to achieve the desired increase to the consideration premium offered to Shareholders in the proposed transaction. The Special Committee emphasized that the discussions between the parties should focus on pro forma ownership of the Shareholders in the combined entity to ensure that Shareholders benefited from a premium being paid by Elemental Altus, recognizing a significant focus of the earlier discussions was bringing together the two companies on a merger of equals basis. CIBC provided insights into the valuation discussions with Elemental Altus and the strategic rationale that supported pursuing a premium for the benefit of Shareholders that captures the ongoing interest of Shareholders in the combined entity. The Special Committee met *in camera* following these discussions to further discuss the potential transaction and to retain independent advisors. At this meeting, with the advice of Cassels, the Special Committee determined to pursue an engagement of an independent financial advisor to the Special Committee.

On July 26, 2025, the Special Committee met to discuss the status of discussions with Elemental Altus. David Cole provided an update on the discussions that had taken place since the last meeting of the Special Committee, noting that the discussions remained constructive and reflected a shared desire to continue advancing the conversations. Michael Winn, the Executive Chairman of EMX, provided an update on the concurrent discussions with Tether regarding the potential combination of EMX and Elemental Altus and noted that they reflected a similar tone. CIBC provided an updated comprehensive financial analysis resulting from additional diligence and sharing of financial models, including updated asset information, and the accretive impact on cash flow analysis. Following this meeting, which included an *in camera* session, the Special Committee instructed management to continue to negotiate towards the desired pro forma ownership and consideration premium desired by EMX.

------

On July 30, 2025, the Special Committee met again to receive an update on discussions with Elemental Altus. Michael Winn informed the Special Committee that a revised LOI was received from Elemental Altus that reflected a proposed increase in the premium offered to Shareholders to a 25% premium to the 20-day volume weighted EMX Share trading price, which exchange ratio would be determined at the time of execution of definitive agreements. The revised LOI, along with the potential for an increased investment in Elemental Altus by Tether by way of an equity financing, were discussed. CIBC provided financial insights, and Cassels provided a further overview of the revised LOI, including the implications of the 30-day exclusivity period. After discussion, the Special Committee determined that the proposed transaction set out in the LOI merited engaging in exclusive negotiations and recommended to the Board that the revised LOI be approved and executed. The Board authorized execution, and EMX and Elemental executed the LOI on July 31, 2025.

On the afternoon of August 1, 2025, Fasken, legal counsel to Elemental Altus, provided Cassels with a preliminary draft of the Arrangement Agreement. The initial draft of the Arrangement Agreement generally proposed reciprocal terms and conditions be applicable to Elemental Altus and EMX, including with respect to the non-solicitation covenants, "fiduciary out" provisions, and representations and warranties and other covenants. On August 1, 2025, Cassels also provided a due diligence request list regarding Elemental Altus to Fasken, with such list supplemented by additional request lists or correspondence over the course of the negotiations.

On August 4, 2025, Fasken provided a due diligence request list regarding EMX to Cassels, with such list supplemented by additional request lists or correspondence over the course of the negotiations. Over the course of the negotiations, a due diligence review was carried out by each of the companies and their respective advisors.

On August 6, 2025, management of EMX met with Cassels to discuss key issues on the preliminary draft Arrangement Agreement. On August 7, 2025, the Special Committee met with management and Cassels to discuss such key issues. Cassels provided an overview of the matters arising from the preliminary draft Arrangement Agreement (including a summary of management's views thereon), including the quantum of and circumstances under which the Termination Fees would be payable, Expense Reimbursement, interim restrictive covenants, conditions precedent, deal protection mechanisms and rights of termination, and a negotiation strategy was developed on such matters based on the Special Committee's instructions. In addition, consideration was given to the implications of the proposed Tether financing of Elemental Altus, including TSX-V requirements and potential for Elemental Altus Shareholder approval in light of the "control person" involvement, as well as the potential requirement to obtain Elemental Altus Shareholder approval under securities laws due to the involvement of a related party to Elemental Altus, the implications of the voting thresholds, and the need to obtain further information regarding the terms and structure of the proposed additional equity investment in Elemental Altus by Tether. The Special Committee met *in camera*, with Cassels present, and the identity of an independent financial advisor to the Special Committee was discussed and confirmed.

On August 11, 2025, Fasken provided Cassels with a preliminary draft of the Plan of Arrangement and the form of Voting Support Agreement.

On August 14, 2025, the Special Committee engaged Haywood as independent financial advisor to the Special Committee.

On August 15, 2025, the Special Committee held a meeting where Michael Winn provided an update on the proposed equity investment in Elemental Altus by Tether, including quantum, pricing and timing of same. Cassels provided an overview as to how the proposed terms of the investment could trigger Elemental Altus Shareholder approval under securities laws and the requirements of the TSX-V, and the potential impacts to the transaction and value if a financing were not completed. The need for a condition precedent solely in favour of EMX with respect to the proposed financing for completion of the Arrangement was confirmed (which later was ultimately agreed by Elemental Altus, provided that the Arrangement and the financing of Elemental Altus by Tether close concurrently) noting the critical nature of the financing for the pro forma combined entity and the importance of transaction certainty, noting still that further information regarding the financing was necessary to continue to advance discussions. The requirement for Elemental Altus to complete a share consolidation in connection with obtaining a U.S. stock exchange listing was also discussed, including the impact and risk exposure on EMX. The Special Committee continued discussions *in camera* following presentations from management.

------

Over the course of the next week, Elemental Altus and EMX, through their respective counsel, advanced the drafts of the various agreements and discussed requirements around Elemental Altus Shareholder approval.

On August 22, 2025, the Special Committee met to receive an update on the status of discussions regarding the potential transaction with Elemental Altus. Cassels informed the meeting that counsel to the parties had aligned as to the securities laws and stock exchange requirements for the proposed structure of the financing. CIBC provided views on the impact of the proposed additional equity investment by Tether on pro forma ownership of the combined company. It was agreed that management discuss with Elemental Altus finalizing the terms of the financing, including the necessity for cross-conditionality between the financing and the Arrangement. The Special Committee continued discussions in camera following the presentations from management.

Later that day on August 22, 2025, David Cole received an unsolicited inbound email from a separate North American-based royalty company ("**Party B**") requesting a discussion around a potential strategic transaction involving EMX and Party B. The correspondence did not contain specific terms, but indicated Party B would deliver a "compelling premium to Shareholders alongside the creation of a public SpinCo which would hold EMX's exploration and royalty generation assets".

On August 23, 2025, the Special Committee met to discuss the inbound from Party B. At the invitation of the Special Committee, Michael Winn provided an overview of the expression of interest, noting that while a premium to the EMX Share trading price was referred to, it was not specified. While the proposal was still in a preliminary form, the Special Committee gave careful consideration to its potential strategic and financial merits, given the potential implications on the Company's ongoing strategic review and concurrent negotiations with Elemental Altus. Cassels discussed the legal implications of this inbound offer, including the importance of carefully assessing the offer, ensuring appropriate process is undertaken, while observing the exclusivity provisions of the LOI. CIBC presented its views from a financial and strategic point of view of Party B and the potential premium. Following the discussions, the Special Committee agreed that it would be premature to form a view on the relative merits of the Party B proposal. The Special Committee agreed that management and advisors would seek to obtain additional information regarding Party B, and Party B's financing capability and ability to deliver a binding proposal. The meeting concluded with the Special Committee noting that, while the Party B approach remained preliminary and non-binding, it was appropriate for the Special Committee to continue its assessment in parallel with ongoing efforts to negotiate the Proposed Transaction with Elemental Altus, while ensuring that EMX remained compliant with its contractual obligations under the existing LOI. The Special Committee continued discussions *in camera* following the discussions.

On August 26, 2025, David Cole received an unsolicited non-binding indicative term sheet from Party B proposing a premium to the 20-day volume weighted EMX Share trading price and the concurrent creation of a spin-off company for certain EMX assets, with the ultimate structure of such proposed transaction dependent on the results of each company's due diligence, among other things. The non-binding term sheet from Party B requested a 30-day exclusivity period and outlined a six-week due diligence period. The Special Committee met that same day to discuss the status of the potential transaction with Elemental Altus and the unsolicited term sheet from Party B, including with the benefit of additional financial advice from CIBC, including with respect to Party B and its assets, production targets, cash flows and market expectations, along with a discussion on estimated transaction economics as compared to the proposed transaction with Elemental Altus. In its deliberations, the Special Committee undertook a comparative assessment of the proposal from Party B against the potential transaction with Elemental Altus across several key dimensions. It was determined that further input regarding evaluation of both transactions be provided by CIBC and Haywood before determining a go-forward strategy. At this meeting, status of discussions with Elemental Altus were also considered and discussed, including confirmation of the proposed equity financing by Tether to raise US$100 million for the combined company. The Special Committee met *in camera* with Cassels, where it was determined to engage an independent legal advisor to the Special Committee, and to obtain additional financial advice from Haywood. EMX verbally updated Elemental Altus regarding the inbound, as it was required to do under its exclusivity agreement, and immediately following the August 28, 2025 Special Committee meeting noted below, EMX provided a written summary of the terms of the unsolicited non-binding indicative term sheet from Party B to Elemental Altus as it was required to do under its exclusivity agreement.

------

Subsequent to the August 26, 2025 meeting of the Special Committee, the Special Committee formally engaged Blakes on August 27, 2025 as independent legal counsel to the Special Committee.

On August 28 and 29, 2025, the Special Committee met to further discuss the proposal from Party B and the proposed transaction with Elemental Altus, including key outstanding issues to negotiate in order to finalize the Arrangement Agreement and how to ensure that the Company had appropriate recourse in the event the Tether investment in Elemental Altus was not completed, given such financing would be a condition to closing in favour of EMX. The Special Committee also reviewed the benefits and risks associated with pursuing different strategic approaches given the unsolicited expression of interest from Party B and the potential transaction with Elemental Altus, and on what basis it would consider extending exclusivity with Elemental Altus. At these meetings, CIBC, Cassels, Haywood and Blakes provided strategic, financial and legal advice and reviewed various strategic approaches with the management team, the Board and the Special Committee, including negotiation of additional protections in exchange for a limited extension to exclusivity, which was set to expire on August 30, 2025. In assessing the alternatives, the Special Committee engaged in a comparative analysis of the overall transaction value, strategic rationale, financing certainty, and transaction risks associated with each proposal. The Elemental Altus transaction was viewed as being materially more advanced, given the parties had been engaging in diligence for over a year, and meaningful negotiations for several weeks, with a clear path to signing, an established financing commitment from Tether, and greater alignment with EMX's long-term strategic goals. In contrast, Party B's expression of interest required a six-week due diligence period, lacked specificity of certain terms, was less favourable to the Shareholders compared to the potential transaction with Elemental Altus and introduced a risk associated with a spinout of certain assets. The Special Committee also considered the potential disruption that could result from the termination of discussions with Elemental Altus to engage with Party B. Following extensive deliberations, it was ultimately determined that proceeding to finalize the potential transaction with Elemental Altus was in the best interests of EMX, as opposed to diverting from the Elemental Altus transaction to explore whether a transaction with Party B was viable. The Special Committee determined that in light of the circumstances, it was appropriate to seek an improvement in the transaction terms with Elemental Altus prior to agreeing to extend the exclusivity arrangements among the parties. EMX proposed an improvement on certain financial terms of the proposed transaction, and ultimately after negotiation between EMX and Elemental Altus, the parties agreed to a reduction in the percentage basis for calculating the Termination Fee from 3% to 2.5% of equity value. On these terms, the Parties entered into an extension agreement on August 29, 2025 for a limited extension of the exclusivity period under the LOI in order to afford the Parties additional time to finalize the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and ancillary transaction documentation, with such extension expiring on September 9, 2025.

Between August 29, 2025 and September 3, 2025, management provided updates to the Chair of the Special Committee who in turn communicated with Blakes to provide input into the final negotiations of the Arrangement Agreement and related documents.

On September 2, 2025, the Parties determined the exchange ratio, which reflected a 25% premium to the prevailing 20-day volume weighted trading price (per the methodology agreed in the executed LOI).

From receipt of the initial draft agreement on August 1 to September 4, 2025, Cassels and Fasken exchanged various drafts of the Arrangement Agreement, Plan of Arrangement, and form of Voting and Support Agreement. Drafts of these agreements sent by Cassels to Fasken reflecting input from the Special Committee, management, Cassels, Blakes and U.S. counsel to EMX (Crowell & Moring LLP).

On September 3, 2025, the Board met to discuss the proposed transaction with Elemental Altus, including an overview of the revised terms of the Arrangement Agreement, due diligence and regulatory materials and a tax summary. Cassels provided a transaction presentation, with an overview of the key components of the transaction agreements, shareholder approval thresholds and other related matters. CIBC provided to the Board an updated fairness presentation and summary overview of the financial considerations. The meeting was recessed to permit time for the Special Committee to convene a separate meeting.

Following the Board meeting, the Special Committee met *in camera* with Haywood and Blakes. Blakes provided an update on the status of the Arrangement Agreement, including the key terms that remained outstanding and were subject to final negotiation. Haywood provided to the Special Committee a fairness presentation with respect to the transaction, and a summary of the financial considerations.

------

On September 4, 2025, the Board convened a meeting to further consider the merits of the Arrangement and final terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement. Cassels provided an update on the resolution on the final issues required to settle the Arrangement Agreement. At this meeting, CIBC referred the Board to the previously delivered fairness presentation and updated the Board on the financial metrics previously discussed, including approach to financial analysis, valuation methodologies with respect to the exchange ratio, a bring down on the premium in terms of EMX value summary and share price of the Tether financing of Elemental Altus. Following the bring-down overview, CIBC delivered its oral fairness opinion, subsequently confirmed by delivery of the written CIBC Fairness Opinion, that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out therein, based upon its analysis and subject to all of the information set out in CIBC's presentation, CIBC is of the opinion that, as of the date thereof, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. The meeting was recessed to permit time for the Special Committee to convene a separate meeting.

The Special Committee convened with representatives of Blakes and Haywood in attendance. During the meeting, the Special Committee considered certain key terms and conditions of the Arrangement in relation to, among other things, the value to be delivered to Shareholders through the implied premium in the transaction, the ability of EMX to enter into a Superior Proposal, having secured the reduced Termination Fee, the agreement of Elemental Altus to pay a break fee in the event that the Tether financing was not completed, and other favourable terms achieved by EMX through a robust negotiation process. Haywood then provided an update to its fairness presentation provided at the September 3, 2025 meeting and Haywood delivered its oral fairness opinion, subsequently confirmed by delivery of the written Haywood Fairness Opinion, that, subject to the assumptions, limitations, and qualifications set out therein, based upon its analysis and subject to all of the information set out in Haywood's presentation, Haywood is of the opinion that, as of the date thereof, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. Following a discussion of the benefits and risks associated with the Arrangement and other factors the Special Committee deemed relevant, the Special Committee unanimously determined to recommend at the reconvened meeting of the Board, that the Board: determine that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX; approve the Arrangement, and unanimously recommend to the Shareholders that they vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting.

The Board reconvened and received the recommendation of the Special Committee. Following a discussion of the benefits and risks associated with the Arrangement and other factors the Board deemed relevant, the Board then unanimously (with Messrs. Cole and Winn having declared an interest in the Arrangement and having recused themselves and abstained) determined: that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and is fair; that the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement, and EMX's entry into the Arrangement Agreement and performance of the transactions contemplated thereby is in the best interests of EMX; and to unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

EMX and Elemental Altus executed the Arrangement Agreement and the Voting Support Agreements and Elemental Altus and Tether executed the Elemental Altus Financing Subscription Agreement on September 4, 2025, and EMX and Elemental Altus jointly announced the Arrangement Agreement and the Elemental Altus Financing on September 4, 2025.

**Recommendation of the Board**

The Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter), based on its considerations, investigations and deliberations of a number of factors, including: (i) a thorough review of the Arrangement Agreement, (ii) consultation with representatives of EMX's management team, its financial and legal advisors, (iii) the CIBC World Markets Opinion and the Haywood Opinion, (iv) the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, (v) the factors and reasons described in this Circular under the heading "*Part I - The Arrangement - Reasons for Recommendation of the Board*" and the risks described in this Circular under the heading "*Part III - Risk Factors*" and (vi) such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, unanimously determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of EMX and authorized EMX to enter into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. **Accordingly, the Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter) unanimously recommends that the Securityholders vote** <u>**FOR**</u> **the Arrangement Resolution.**

------

**Reasons for Recommendation of the Board**

In reaching their conclusions and formulating their recommendations, the Board and the Special Committee consulted with representatives of EMX's management team and their respective legal and financial advisors, and in the case of the Board, the Special Committee. The Board and the Special Committee also reviewed a significant amount of technical, financial and operational information relating to EMX and Elemental Altus and considered a number of factors and reasons, including those listed below. The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the unanimous determinations of the Board and the Special Committee that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and the unanimous recommendation of the Board (subject to two directors declaring an interest and abstaining from voting on the matter) and the Special Committee that Securityholders vote <u>**FOR**</u> the Arrangement Resolution.

* **Top Quality, Globally Diversified Portfolio** The Combined Company will create a peer-leading revenue generating royalty company with combined revenue guidance of US$70 million in 2025 and analyst consensus revenue of US$80 million in 2026[<sup>4</sup>](#_ftn4), underpinned by strong growth visibility. The Combined Company is expected to maintain a gold focused portfolio with projected adjusted revenue relating to a commodity split of 67% precious metals and 33% base metals on a latest quarter revenue basis, providing exposure to record gold prices. The Combined Company will also continue with a strengthened asset portfolio, anchored by four cornerstone royalties with world-class operators, as well as diversification through exposure to 16 paying royalties and 200 total royalties, providing a balanced foundation of immediate cash flow and long-term upside.

* **Meaningful Scale.** The Combined Company results in a larger, well capitalized entity with a lower cost of capital, positioned to pursue further accretive royalty opportunities in the market. Graduating to become a mid-tier royalty company, with a materially higher combined revenue than the junior royalty companies, will fill a gap in the market left by recent industry consolidation. Further, the combined trading liquidity and expected indexation demand is anticipated to help close the valuation gap with peers. The Combined Company has a definitive trajectory, including the pursuit of a listing on NASDAQ, or at the discretion of Elemental Altus, NYSE American prior to the closing of the Arrangement.

* **Future Growth.** The Combined Company is expected to benefit from complementary management expertise, uniting Elemental Altus' proven track record of accretive royalty acquisitions with EMX's disciplined royalty generation and acquisition capabilities. Additionally, the royalty generation business presents a unique differentiator, offering low cost, organic growth.

* **Fairness Opinions.** The Board received a fairness opinion from CIBC World Markets and the Special Committee received a fairness opinion from Haywood, each dated September 4, 2025, and each to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, in each case based upon and subject to the respective assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth in each such opinion, as more fully described in the section in the accompanying Circular entitled "*Part I - The Arrangement - Opinions of Financial Advisors*".

* **Support of Directors, Officers and Shareholders.** The boards of directors of each of EMX and Elemental Altus (subject to abstentions where legally required) and the Special Committee have unanimously recommended support for the Arrangement. Additionally, the directors and senior officers and certain shareholders of each of EMX and Elemental Altus have entered into voting and support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting and in favour of the Elemental Altus Resolutions at the special meeting (the "**Elemental Altus Meeting**") of Elemental Altus Shareholders to be held on November 4, 2025, as applicable. Additionally, the Elemental Altus Financing emphasizes strong investor confidence (including Tether) in the strategy and long-term vision of the Combined Company, and will provide it significant financial capacity and facilitate the Combined Company being unlevered upon completion of the Arrangement.

[4](#_ftnref4) Based on figures (i) with respect to EMX from National Bank Financial Inc. and as of August 12, 2025, and (ii) with respect to Elemental Altus from each of Raymond James Ltd. and National Bank Financial Inc. as of August 19, 2025 and from Canaccord Genuity Corp. as of May 26, 2025.

------

* **Negotiated Transaction.** The Arrangement Agreement is the result of a comprehensive negotiation process with respect to the key elements of the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Arrangement, which includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the Board and the Special Committee. The Arrangement provides for a 21.5% premium on the 20 day volume weighted average price to Shareholders and management of EMX will be taking on management positions with the Combined Company including the CEO and CFO roles.

* **Other Factors.** The Board and the Special Committee also carefully considered the Arrangement with reference to current economics, industry and market trends affecting each of EMX and Elemental Altus in the royalty, metals and mining industry, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, risks, operating results and prospects of each of EMX and Elemental Altus, taking into account the results of EMX's due diligence review of Elemental Altus and its royalty interests.

In making its determinations and recommendations, the Board also observed that a number of procedural and legal safeguards were in place and are present to protect the interests of EMX, the Securityholders and other EMX stakeholders. The procedural and legal safeguards include, among others:

* **Ability to Respond to Unsolicited Superior Proposals.** Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Board will remain able to respond to any unsolicited *bona fide* written proposals that, having regard to all of its terms and conditions, would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, constitute or reasonably be expected to constitute a Superior Proposal, provided that EMX is not in material breach of its non-solicitation covenants under the Arrangement Agreement.

* **Reasonable Break Fee.** The amount of the Termination Fee that EMX may be required to pay in certain circumstances (approximately C$15.75 million) falls within the range considered reasonable for a transaction of this nature and size. In the Board's view, this fee should not preclude a third party from making a Superior Proposal for EMX.

* **Fairness of the Conditions.** The Arrangement Agreement provides for certain conditions with respect to completion of the Arrangement, which conditions are not unduly onerous or outside market practice and could reasonably be satisfied in the judgment of the Board.

* **Securityholder Approval.** The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting; (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders and Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes cast by certain Shareholders required to be excluded under MI 61-101.

* **Extensive Due Diligence.** EMX, including its management and technical services team, with assistance from outside financial, technical and legal advisors, completed a detailed diligence review of Elemental Altus, including the Elemental Altus Material Royalty Interests, and was satisfied by such review.

* **Court and Regulatory Approvals.** The Plan of Arrangement must be approved by the Court, which will consider, among other things, the substantive and procedural fairness and reasonableness of the Plan of Arrangement to Securityholders. The Arrangement Agreement also contains a condition precedent that all Regulatory Approvals shall be obtained prior to closing.

* **Dissent Rights.** The terms of the Plan of Arrangement provide that Registered Shareholders who oppose the Arrangement may, upon compliance with certain conditions, exercise dissent rights and, if ultimately successful, receive fair value for their EMX Shares (as described in the Plan of Arrangement). See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Right to Dissent*" in this Circular for detailed information regarding the dissent rights of Registered Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement.

------

The Board and the Special Committee also considered a number of other factors and risks relating to the Arrangement including:

* The challenges inherent in combining two businesses of the size and complexity of EMX and Elemental Altus and the risks from international business activities;

* The risk that expected benefits to the Combined Company are not realized;

* The risk that changes in Law or regulation could adversely impact the expected benefits of the Arrangement to EMX, Securityholders and other stakeholders;

* The risk that the Elemental Altus Shares to be issued as consideration are based on a fixed exchange ratio and will not be adjusted based on fluctuations in the market value of EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares;

* The conditionality of the Arrangement upon, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Elemental Altus Financing and the conditional approval or authorization for listing of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants on the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange;

* The potential risk of diverting management's attention and resources from the operation of EMX's business in the ordinary course while working toward the completion of the Arrangement;

* The potential negative effect of the ongoing Arrangement process on EMX's business, including its relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and operators of the properties in which EMX holds an interest;

* The potential adverse impact that business uncertainty pending the completion of the Arrangement could have on EMX's ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the completion of the Arrangement;

* The risk that the Arrangement may not be completed despite the Parties' efforts or that completion of the Arrangement may be unduly delayed, even if Securityholder Approval is obtained, including the possibility that Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval may not be obtained, that other conditions to the Parties' obligations to complete the Arrangement may not be satisfied, and the potential resulting negative impact this could have upon EMX's business;

* The restrictions contained in the Arrangement Agreement on EMX's ability to solicit interest from third parties, given the nature of the deal protections and "fiduciary out" in the Arrangement Agreement, as well as the fact that if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, EMX will be required to pay the Termination Fee to Elemental Altus and, if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated under certain other circumstances, EMX will be required to pay an expense reimbursement in an amount equal to C$2 million to Elemental Altus;

* The fact that if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated and the Board decides to seek another transaction or business combination, it may be unable to find a party willing to pay greater or equivalent value compared to the consideration payable to the Shareholders under the Arrangement;

* The fact that certain of EMX and Elemental Altus' respective royalty and stream interests relate to mineral properties in various jurisdictions, including developing countries, and as such, the interests of the Combined Company will be exposed to various levels of foreign, political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties;

------

* The restrictions on the conduct of EMX's business prior to the completion of the Arrangement, which could delay or prevent EMX from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the Arrangement;

* The risks that the actual performance of EMX and Elemental Altus may materially differ from the financial projections prepared by the respective management team of each of EMX and Elemental Altus in connection with the Arrangement;

* The right of Elemental Altus to terminate the Arrangement Agreement under certain circumstances; and

* The fact that EMX has incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction costs and expenses in connection with the Arrangement, regardless of whether the Arrangement is completed.

The Board and the Special Committee also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors relating to the Arrangement including those matters described under the headings "*Part III - Risk Factors* - *Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement*" and "*Part III - Risk Factors* - *Risk Factors Related to the Operations of the Combined Company*". Each of the Board and the Special Committee believed that overall, the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement to EMX outweighed these risks and negative factors.

The information and factors described above and considered by the Board and the Special Committee in reaching its determinations are not intended to be exhaustive but include material factors considered by the Board and the Special Committee. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with the evaluation of the Arrangement and the complexity of these matters, the Board and the Special Committee did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, individual members of the Board and the Special Committee may have given different weight to different factors and may have applied different analyses to each of the material factors considered by the Board and the Special Committee.

In connection with CIBC World Market's mandate under the CIBC World Markets Engagement Agreement, CIBC World Markets has prepared the CIBC World Markets Opinion.

The CIBC World Markets Opinion should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Board or EMX's management with respect to the Arrangement or the Consideration provided for pursuant to the Arrangement.

In connection with this mandate, Haywood has prepared the Haywood Opinion. The Haywood Opinion states that, based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, Haywood is of the opinion that, as of September 4, 2025, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

The Haywood Opinion was only one of many factors taken into consideration by the Special Committee in its (i) evaluation of the Arrangement, (ii) determination that the Arrangement is in the best interests of EMX and (iii) recommendation that Securityholders vote for the Arrangement Resolution. The Haywood Opinion should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Special Committee, the Board or EMX's management with respect to the Arrangement or the Consideration provided for pursuant to the Arrangement.

**Arrangement Steps**

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Meeting, the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is obtained at the Elemental Altus Meeting, the Final Order approving the Arrangement is issued by the Court and the applicable conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Elemental Altus Financing and the conditional approval or authorization for listing of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants on the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange), the Arrangement will take effect commencing and effective as at the Effective Time.

------

The Arrangement involves a number of steps, which will be deemed to occur sequentially commencing at the Effective Time without any further act, authorization or formality by any person, except as expressly provided in the Plan of Arrangement. The following description of the steps of the Plan of Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan of Arrangement which is attached as Appendix D to this Circular.

In particular:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) each EMX Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a Dissenting Shareholder shall be, and shall be deemed to be, assigned and transferred to EMX in exchange for a debt claim against EMX in an amount determined in accordance with Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan of Arrangement), and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the registered holders of such EMX Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall: (A) cease to be the registered holders of such EMX Shares and shall cease to have any rights as a Shareholder (other than the right to be paid the fair value for such EMX Share as set out in Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement); (B) be removed from the register of Shareholders in respect of the EMX Shares; and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so assign and transfer such EMX Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) EMX shall be deemed to be the transferee of such EMX Shares and shall be entered in the register of EMX Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of EMX in respect of the EMX Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) each EMX Share so assigned and transferred to EMX pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Plan of Arrangement shall be cancelled and cease to be outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) each EMX RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX RSU Holder, immediately vested and exercised in exchange for one EMX Share (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan of Arrangement, and provided that no share certificates or DRS statements shall be issued with respect to such EMX Shares), and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX RSU Holder shall: (A) cease to be the holder of any EMX RSUs and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX RSUs (other than, for certainty, the right to receive the Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(xii) of the Plan of Arrangement); (B) be removed from the register of EMX RSU Holders; and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX RSUs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each EMX RSU so exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Plan of Arrangement shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the EMX RSU Plan and all agreements relating to the EMX RSUs shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) EMX and Acquireco shall amalgamate to form one corporate entity, with the same effect as if they had amalgamated under Section 269 of the BCBCA except the separate legal existence of Acquireco will not cease and Acquireco will survive the amalgamation notwithstanding the issue by the Registrar of a certificate of amalgamation and the assignment of a new incorporation number (Acquireco, as such surviving entity, may be referred to as "**Amalco**"). Such amalgamation is intended to qualify as an amalgamation as defined in subsection 87(1) of the Tax Act. Upon such amalgamation, the steps set out at Sections 3.1(c)(i) through (xvi) of the Plan of Arrangement with respect to Amalco shall, and shall be deemed to, occur concurrently, including the following Section 3.1(c)(xii):

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) each EMX Share outstanding, including any EMX Shares issued pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Plan of Arrangement (subject to Section 3.2 and Article 5 of the Plan of Arrangement), shall be cancelled in exchange for the Consideration and the registered holders of such EMX Shares immediately prior to such cancellation shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) cease to be the registered holders of such EMX Shares and shall cease to have any rights as an EMX Shareholder (other than the right to be paid the Consideration pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) be removed from the register of EMX Shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so cancel such EMX Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) subject to Article 6 of the Plan of Arrangement, be entered in the register of holders of Elemental Altus Shares as the registered holder of such Elemental Altus Shares so received pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(xii) of the Plan of Arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) concurrently with (and no earlier than) the issuance of the Consideration in Section 3.1(c)(xii) of the Plan of Arrangement, Elemental Altus shall, and shall be deemed to, issue such number of Elemental Altus Shares to Tether as is required pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Elemental Altus Financing Subscription Agreement if the conditions set out therein have been satisfied or waived as of such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) notwithstanding the EMX Option Plan, each EMX Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX Option Holder, be exchanged for a Replacement Option, each such Replacement Option being exercisable to purchase from Elemental Altus a number of Elemental Altus Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of EMX Shares subject to the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per Elemental Altus Share underlying a Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (X) the exercise price per EMX Share underlying the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (Y) the Exchange Ratio (provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is intended that (i) the provisions of Subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of EMX Options for Replacement Options pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the Plan of Arrangement, and (ii) such exchange of options be treated as other than the grant of a new stock right or a change in the form of payment pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of a Replacement Option will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time such that the In-The-Money Value of the Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Value of the EMX Option for which it was exchanged immediately before the exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 3.1(e) of the Plan of Arrangement, each EMX Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the U.S. Tax Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of such EMX Option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the U.S. Tax Code. Except as provided in Section 3.1(e) of the Plan of Arrangement, all terms and conditions of each Replacement Option, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the EMX Option for which it was exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the EMX Option Plan and any document evidencing an EMX Option shall thereafter evidence, and be deemed to evidence, a Replacement Option; and, upon the occurrence of the foregoing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX Option Holder shall: (A) cease to be the holder of any EMX Options and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX Options (and shall instead, for certainty, be a holder of the applicable number of Replacement Options and have rights as a holder of Replacement Options); (B) be removed from the register of EMX Option Holders (and be added to the register of Replacement Options maintained by or on behalf of Amalco in respect of the Replacement Options); and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX Options for Replacement Options; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each EMX Option so exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the Plan of Arrangement shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) notwithstanding the EMX DSU Agreements, each EMX DSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX DSU Holder, immediately vested, and shall be exchanged for the right to receive payment from Amalco of a cash amount equal to the Value per Settled DSU (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan of Arrangement), and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX DSU Holder shall: (A) cease to be a holder of any EMX DSUs and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX DSUs (except the right to receive a cash amount per EMX DSU equal to the Value per Settled DSU); (B) be removed from the register of EMX DSUs; and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX DSUs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each EMX DSU so exercised and exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1(f) of the Plan of Arrangement shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the EMX DSU Agreements shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect.

If completed, the Arrangement will result in the issuance of 0.2822 Elemental Altus Shares for each EMX Share held as at the Effective Time by former Shareholders (excluding Dissenting Shareholders) and appropriately adjusted Replacement Options for EMX Options held by former Optionholders at the Effective Time. Following completion of the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Financing, subject to certain assumptions including that no additional EMX Shares are issued prior to the Effective Time and that there are no Dissenting Shareholders, former Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders), including former holders of EMX RSUs, are anticipated to own approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding Elemental Altus Shares, and existing Elemental Altus Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding Elemental Altus Shares, in each case based on the number of securities of Elemental Altus and EMX issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular.

The respective obligations of EMX and Elemental Altus to complete the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement are subject to a number of conditions which must be satisfied or waived in order for the Arrangement to become effective. Upon all of the conditions being satisfied or waived, EMX is required to file a copy of the Final Order with the Registrar in order to give effect to the Arrangement. See "*Part II - The Arrangement Agreement*".

**For full particulars in respect of all of the events which will occur pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, see the full text of the Plan of Arrangement which is attached as Appendix D to this Circular.**

**Effect of the Arrangement**

***Effect on EMX Shares***

If completed, the Arrangement will result in the issuance of 0.2822 Elemental Altus Shares for each EMX Share, with respect to each EMX Share held by Shareholders as at the Effective Time (excluding Dissenting Shareholders). As at the close of business on September 25, 2025, there were 108,964,292 EMX Shares outstanding (on a non-diluted basis). If completed, the Arrangement will result in Elemental Altus, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, becoming the owner of all of the EMX Shares on the Effective Date, and Amalco will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental Altus.

------

Assuming that there are no Dissenting Shareholders and assuming no EMX Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting of the EMX Convertible Securities prior to the Effective Time, there will be, immediately following the completion of the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Financing, approximately 63,590,821 Elemental Altus Shares issued and outstanding. Immediately following completion of the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Financing: (i) former Shareholders of EMX (including former holders of EMX RSUs) are expected to hold approximately 31,321,178 Elemental Altus Shares, representing approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding Elemental Altus Shares; and (ii) existing Elemental Altus Shareholders are expected to hold approximately 32,269,643 Elemental Altus Shares, representing approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding Elemental Altus Shares, in each case on a non-diluted basis based on the number of securities of Elemental Altus and EMX issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular.

***Effect on EMX Options***

As at the close of business on September 25, 2025, there were 6,125,000 EMX Options outstanding. The Arrangement, if completed, will result in each EMX Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, being exchanged for a Replacement Option exercisable to purchase a number of Elemental Altus Shares equal to the number of EMX Shares subject to such EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Elemental Altus Shares) at an exercise price per Elemental Altus Share being the exercise price per EMX Share underlying such EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The exercise price per Elemental Altus Share underlying a Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (X) the exercise price per EMX Share underlying the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (Y) the Exchange Ratio (provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent), and all terms and conditions of each Replacement Option, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the EMX Option for which it was exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the EMX Option Plan.

It is intended that (i) the provisions of Subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of EMX Options for Replacement Options and (ii) such exchange of options be treated as other than the grant of a new stock right or a change in the form of payment pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, if required, the exercise price of a Replacement Option will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time such that the In-The-Money Value of the Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Value of the EMX Option for which it was exchanged immediately before such exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each EMX Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the U.S. Tax Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of such EMX Option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the U.S. Tax Code.

For greater certainty, each Replacement Option shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the EMX Option Plan and the agreement evidencing the grant of such EMX Option with respect to such terms and conditions. Any document previously evidencing EMX Options will thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence the Replacement Option exchanged therefor and no certificate evidencing a Replacement Option will be issued.

***Other EMX Convertible Securities***

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, if the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Meeting, the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is obtained at the Elemental Altus Meeting, the Final Order approving the Arrangement is issued by the Court and the applicable conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Elemental Altus Financing and the conditional approval or authorization for listing of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants on the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange), then, commencing and effective as at the Effective Time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) each EMX RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to be immediately vested and shall settle in exchange for one EMX Share (provided that no share certificates or DRS statements shall be issued with respect to such EMX Shares) (subject to any applicable withholdings), and shall be cancelled and cease to be outstanding. Such EMX Shares shall be exchanged for the Consideration, and each such EMX RSU shall be immediately cancelled by EMX and the holders of such EMX RSUs shall cease to be holders thereof;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) each EMX DSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be immediately vested and be exchanged for the right to receive payment from Amalco of a cash amount equal to the Value per Settled DSU (subject to applicable withholdings); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in accordance with the terms of the EMX Warrant Certificate, each holder of EMX Warrants shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of such holder's EMX Warrant, in lieu of EMX Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, and for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number of Elemental Altus Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EMX Shares to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such holder's EMX Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, no fractional Elemental Altus Shares will be issued upon exercise of the EMX Warrants, nor shall any compensation be made for such fractional Elemental Altus Shares, if any.

***Change of Control Provisions***

The Arrangement will constitute a change of control where that term is defined in the EMX Option Plan and the EMX RSU Plan, and certain employment agreements entered into by EMX with their executive officers, as described below. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, each EMX Option outstanding as at the Effective Time shall be exchanged at the Effective Time for a Replacement Option. Each EMX RSU outstanding at the Effective Time shall be deemed to be vested and settled for EMX Shares to be exchanged (subject to any applicable withholding) for the Consideration. Each EMX DSU outstanding at the Effective Time will be deemed to be vested and exchanged at the Effective Time for a cash payment. Each EMX Warrant will be adjusted in accordance with its terms to entitle the respective holder thereof to receive the Consideration in lieu of EMX Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. See "*Part I - The Arrangement* - *Effect of the Arrangement* - *Other EMX Convertible Securities*" above for further information.

In addition, EMX has entered into employment agreements with certain of its executive officers pursuant to which those officers may receive change of control payments or other benefits. In particular, certain officers of EMX have individual employment agreements that provide for change of control payments in the event of termination of employment under certain circumstances upon, or withing a certain period following, a change of control event. See "*Part I - The Arrangement* - *Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement*" in this Circular for further information.

***Corporate Structure***

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will receive Elemental Altus Shares in exchange for their EMX Shares. The rights of Shareholders are currently governed by the BCBCA and by EMX's notice of articles and articles. Since Elemental Altus is also a BCBCA corporation, the rights of Elemental Altus Shareholders are governed by the BCBCA and by Elemental Altus' notice of articles and articles. Therefore, the rights and privileges under the BCBCA of the Shareholders who receive Elemental Altus Shares will remain unchanged after the Arrangement. Shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding all of the implications of the effects of the Arrangement on such Shareholders' rights.

Except with the prior written consent of EMX or Elemental Altus, EMX Supporting Shareholders and Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholders further agreed: (i) not to, directly or indirectly, option, sell, assign, dispose of, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey (each, referred to in this section as a "**Transfer**") any relevant securities or any rights or interest to any person, other than (A) when exercising or settling securities under the EMX Equity Incentive Plans or the Elemental Altus Omnibus Compensation Plan, as applicable; (B) when a Transfer of shares to cover the exercise price or tax liabilities resulting from such exercises occurs; and (C) when there is a Transfer to close family members or entities, trusts or accounts controlled by or benefiting the EMX Supporting Shareholder or the Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder, as applicable, as long as the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Voting Agreement and that any entity receiving the securities remains controlled by the EMX Supporting Shareholder or the Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder, as applicable, until the earlier of the Voting Agreement ending or the Effective Time; and (ii) not to exercise any Dissent Rights or rights of appraisal in respect of the Arrangement Resolution and the Elemental Altus Resolutions, as applicable, or any resolution approving the Arrangement.

The Voting Agreements shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of: (i) the Effective Time; and (ii) the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The Voting Agreements may terminate: (i) at any time upon mutual written agreement of the EMX Supporting Shareholder or Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder and Elemental Altus or EMX, as applicable; (ii) by the EMX Supporting Shareholder or Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder, if Elemental Altus or EMX, without the prior written consent of the EMX Supporting Shareholder or Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder, varies the terms of the Arrangement Agreement in a manner that is materially adverse to the EMX Supporting Shareholder or Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder, as applicable; or (iii) by Elemental Altus or EMX if the EMX Supporting Shareholder or Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder has not complied with its covenants to Elemental Altus or EMX contained in the respective Voting Agreement, provided that Elemental Altus or EMX, as applicable, has notified the EMX Supporting Shareholder or Elemental Altus Supporting Shareholder in writing of any of the foregoing events and the same has not been cured within ten business days of the date such notice was received by such shareholder.

**Procedure for the Arrangement Becoming Effective**

The Arrangement is proposed to be carried out pursuant to the provisions of Division 5 of Part 9 of the BCBCA. The following procedural steps must be taken for the Arrangement to become effective:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by the requisite majorities of Securityholders at the Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order and applicable Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval must be obtained by the requisite majority of Elemental Altus Shareholders at the Elemental Altus Meeting in the manner required by applicable Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Arrangement must be approved by the Court pursuant to the Final Order;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) all conditions precedent to the Arrangement set forth in the Arrangement Agreement must be satisfied or waived by the appropriate Party (including satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Elemental Altus Financing and the conditional approval or authorization for listing of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants on the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Final Order and related documents, in the form prescribed by the BCBCA, must be filed with the Registrar.

**Timing**

If the Meeting is held as scheduled and is not adjourned and/or postponed, and the Securityholder Approval is obtained (and the Elemental Altus Meeting is held as scheduled and the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is obtained), it is expected that EMX will apply for the Final Order approving the Arrangement on November 7, 2025. If the Final Order is obtained in a form and substance satisfactory to EMX and Elemental Altus, and all other conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived by the applicable Party, EMX expects the Effective Date to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025. However, it is not possible at this time to state with certainty when the Effective Date will occur as completion of the Arrangement may be delayed beyond this time if the conditions to completion of the Arrangement cannot be met on a timely basis. Subject to certain limitations, each Party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement is not consummated by the Outside Date, which date can be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties or extended by any one Party for a period of not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days under certain conditions, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

The Arrangement will become effective as of the Effective Time on the Effective Date, which is expected to be the date of the filing with the Registrar of a copy of the Final Order, together with such other materials as may be required by the Registrar.

Although EMX's and Elemental Altus' objective is to have the Effective Date occur as soon as reasonably practicable after the Meeting, the Effective Date could be delayed, however, for a number of reasons, including an objection before the Court at the hearing of the application for the Final Order. EMX and/or Elemental Altus may determine not to complete the Arrangement without prior notice to or action on the part of Securityholders or Elemental Altus Shareholders.

**Procedure for Exchange of EMX Shares**

In order to receive the Consideration, Registered Shareholders must deposit with the Depositary (at the address specified on the last page of the Letter of Transmittal) the validly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal together with the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing the Registered Shareholder's EMX Shares and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require and such other documents and instruments as would have been required to effect such transfer under the BCBCA, the *Securities Transfer Act* (British Columbia) and the articles of EMX. Registered Shareholders who do not have their EMX Share certificates or DRS Advices should refer to "*Part I - The Arrangement - Lost Certificates*".

------

EMX currently anticipates that the Arrangement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Registered Shareholders will have received a Letter of Transmittal with this Circular. The Letter of Transmittal will also be available under EMX's profile on SEDAR+ at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u> and on EDGAR at <u>www.sec.gov</u>. Additional copies of the Letter of Transmittal will also be available by contacting the proxy solicitation agent of EMX by using the contact details listed on the back page of this Circular.

**The exchange of EMX Shares for Consideration Shares in respect of any Non-Registered Shareholder is expected to be made with the Non-Registered Shareholder's Intermediary account through the procedures in place for such purposes between CDS or DTC and such Intermediary. Non-Registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediary if they have any questions regarding this process and to arrange for their Intermediary to complete the necessary steps to ensure that they receive the Consideration Shares in respect of their EMX Shares.**

The use of mail to transmit certificates or DRS Advices representing EMX Shares and the Letter of Transmittal will be at the risk of Registered Shareholders. EMX recommends that such certificates, DRS Advices and documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary and a receipt therefor be obtained or that registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, be used.

The instructions for exchanging EMX Shares and depositing such EMX Shares with the Depositary are set out in the Letter of Transmittal. Except as otherwise provided in the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, all signatures on (i) the Letter of Transmittal, and (ii) certificates representing EMX Shares, must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

To prevent a delay in receiving the Consideration, Registered Shareholders should consider re-registering their EMX Shares with an Intermediary prior to the Effective Date.

From and after the Effective Time, each certificate or DRS Advice that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented EMX Shares will be deemed to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the Consideration Shares in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. All dividends and distributions made after the Effective Time with respect to any Consideration Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement but for which a certificate or DRS Advice has not been issued shall be paid or delivered to the Depositary as agent for the holder of such Consideration Shares. Subject to the foregoing, the Depositary shall pay and deliver to any such holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after application therefor is made by such holder to the Depositary in such form as the Depositary may reasonably require, such dividends and distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, net of any applicable withholding and other taxes.

**Subject to applicable legislation relating to unclaimed personal property, if any former Shareholder fails to deliver to the Depositary the certificate(s), DRS Advice(s), documents or instruments required to be delivered to the Depositary as required by the Plan of Arrangement in order for such former Shareholder to receive the Consideration, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date: (i) such former Shareholder shall be deemed to have donated and forfeited to Elemental Altus or its successors, all such Consideration held by the Depositary in trust for such former Shareholder to which such former Shareholder is entitled under the Plan of Arrangement, in each case, together with all entitlements to any dividends or distributions thereon; (ii) any payment made by way of cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) and any other right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Elemental Altus and shall be paid over by the Depositary to Elemental Altus or as directed by Elemental Altus; (iii) any certificate representing EMX Shares formerly held by such former Shareholder shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature; (iv) the Consideration Shares which such former Shareholder was entitled to receive shall be transferred to Elemental Altus and cancelled without any repayment of capital in respect thereof, and any certificates representing such Consideration Shares shall be delivered by the Depositary to Elemental Altus for cancellation and the interest of such former Shareholder in such Consideration Shares (and any dividends or distributions thereon) shall be terminated.** None of Elemental Altus, Amalco or any of their respective successors, shall be liable to any person in respect of any Consideration (including any Consideration previously held by the Depositary in trust for any such former Shareholder) which is forfeited to Elemental or Amalco or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

------

**Exchange of EMX Options for Replacement Options**

Optionholders do not need to take any actions to receive their Replacement Options. Notices of adjustment in respect of Replacement Options will be delivered to the Optionholders as soon as practicable following the completion of the Arrangement.

**Treatment of Fractional Consideration Shares**

In no event will any Shareholder be entitled to a fraction of a Consideration Share and no certificates or DRS Advices representing fractional Consideration Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates or DRS Advices by Shareholders pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and no cash will be paid in lieu thereof. Where the aggregate number of Consideration Shares to be issued to a Shareholder would result in a fraction of a Consideration Share being issuable, the number of Consideration Shares to be received by such Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Consideration Share and no Shareholder will be entitled to any compensation in respect of a fractional Consideration Share.

**Return of EMX Shares**

If the Arrangement is not completed, any certificates or DRS Advices representing deposited EMX Shares will be returned to the depositing Shareholder at Elemental Altus' expense upon written notice to the Depositary from Elemental Altus by returning the certificates or DRS Advices representing deposited EMX Shares (and any other relevant documents) by first class insured mail in the name of and to the address specified by the Shareholder in the Letter of Transmittal or, if such name and address is not so specified, in such name and to such address as shown on the register of EMX Shares maintained by Computershare on behalf of EMX.

**Mail Service Interruption**

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Circular, the Letter of Transmittal, the Arrangement Agreement or Plan of Arrangement, certificates or DRS Advices representing the Consideration Shares and certificates or DRS Advices representing EMX Shares to be returned if applicable, will not be mailed if Elemental Altus determines that delivery thereof by mail may be delayed.

Persons entitled to certificates, DRS Advices and other relevant documents which are not mailed for the foregoing reason may take delivery thereof at the office of the Depositary at which the Letter of Transmittal related thereto was deposited until such time as Elemental Altus has determined that delivery by mail will no longer be delayed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing section, certificates, DRS Advices and other relevant documents not mailed for the foregoing reason will be conclusively deemed to have been delivered on the first day upon which they are received at the office of the Depositary at which the EMX Shares were deposited.

**Lost Certificates**

In the event any certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding EMX Shares that were exchanged in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a certificate representing Elemental Altus Shares that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. When authorizing such delivery of a certificate representing Elemental Altus Shares that such holder is entitled to receive in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the holder to whom a certificate representing such Elemental Altus Shares is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Elemental Altus Shares, give a bond satisfactory to Elemental Altus, Amalco and the Depositary in such amount as Elemental Altus, Amalco and the Depositary may direct, or otherwise indemnify Elemental Altus and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to Elemental Altus and the Depositary, against any claim that may be made against Elemental Altus, Amalco or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall otherwise take such actions as may be reasonably required by Elemental Altus, Amalco and the Depositary.

------

**Withholding Rights**

Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary and their respective agents, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or any other amount payable or otherwise deliverable to any Securityholder or any other person under the Plan of Arrangement (including any payment to Dissenting Shareholders) such Taxes or other amounts as Elemental Altus, Amalco the Depositary or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, may reasonably determine is required to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the U.S. Tax Code or any other applicable Law in respect of Taxes. For the purposes hereof, all such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made on account of the obligation to make payment to such person hereunder, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity by or on behalf of Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary or any of their respective agents, as the case may be. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a Shareholder exceeds the Consideration payable to such Shareholder pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, subject to the prior approval of any of Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Consideration Shares payable to such Shareholder pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with all applicable deduction or withholding requirements, and Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, shall: (a) remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale of such Consideration Shares (after deduction of all reasonable fees, commissions or costs in respect of such sale) to the appropriate Governmental Entity in satisfaction of such deduction or withholding requirement; and (b) if applicable, deliver to such Shareholder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale of such Consideration Shares after making the remittance in (a). Any sale of Consideration Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement will be made in accordance with applicable Laws and at prevailing market prices and none of Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, shall be under any obligation to obtain a particular price, or indemnify any former Shareholder in respect of a particular price, for the Consideration Shares so sold. None of Elemental Altus, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale or disposition of Consideration Shares under Section 5.4 of the Plan of Arrangement.

**Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement**

The directors and senior officers of EMX may have interests in the Arrangement that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Securityholders. These interests include those described below. The Board and the Special Committee were aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, when evaluating and negotiating the Arrangement Agreement and recommending approval of the Arrangement by the Securityholders.

***Ownership of EMX Shares and EMX Convertible Securities***

The table below sets out for each director and senior officer of EMX as of the Record Date the number of EMX Shares, EMX Options, EMX RSUs, EMX DSUs and EMX Warrants beneficially owned or controlled or directed by each of them and their associates and affiliates. Only the EMX Shares and EMX Options will be entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

Elemental Altus will, for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Date, directly honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former employees, officers and directors of EMX and its subsidiaries and acknowledges that such rights shall survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect.

**Expenses of the Arrangement**

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, subject to certain enumerated exceptions therein, all fees, costs and expenses of the Parties incurred in connection with the Arrangement are to be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs or expenses. These include legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees, and non-recurring expenses in connection with the Arrangement and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, including costs related to obtaining required securityholder and court approvals. Assuming successful completion of the Arrangement, it is estimated that such costs and expenses related to the Arrangement to be incurred by EMX will be approximately $6.5 million.

EMX is required to pay to Elemental Altus up to C$2 million as an expense reimbursement if either Party terminates the Arrangement Agreement as a result of the EMX Securityholder Approval not being obtained at the Meeting, provided that such Party may not terminate for such reason if the failure to obtain the EMX Securityholder Approval has been principally caused by a breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties, or the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements, under the Arrangement Agreement.

Elemental Altus is required to pay to EMX up to C$2 million as an expense reimbursement if either Party terminates the Arrangement Agreement as a result of the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is not being obtained at the Elemental Altus Meeting, provided that such Party may not terminate for such reason if the failure to obtain the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval has been principally caused by a breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties, or the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements, under the Arrangement Agreement.

**Approval of Securityholders Required for the Arrangement**

Pursuant to the Interim Order, the number of votes required to pass the Arrangement Resolution shall be: (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting; (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders and Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes cast by certain Shareholders required to be excluded under MI 61-101. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Board, without further notice to or approval of the Securityholders, to amend the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, to the extent permitted by the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, and, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, to decide not to proceed with the Arrangement. If the Arrangement Resolution is not approved by the Securityholders, the Arrangement will not be completed. See Appendix A to this Circular for the full text of the Arrangement Resolution. See also "*Part VIII - General Proxy Matters - Procedure and Votes Required*".

**Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval Required**

Pursuant to applicable Law, the number of votes required to obtain the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is (a) with respect to the Elemental Altus Financing Resolution, simple majority of votes cast at the Elemental Altus Meeting, excluding the votes cast by certain Elemental Altus Shareholders required to be excluded under MI 61-101; and (b) with respect to the Elemental Altus Control Person Resolution, a simple majority of votes cast at the Elemental Altus Meeting, excluding Elemental Altus Shares held or controlled by Tether and its associates and affiliates. If the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is not obtained by the Elemental Altus Shareholders, the Arrangement will not be completed, as the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Elemental Altus Financing is a condition precedent to the completion of the Arrangement.

------

The Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution is required to be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the cast by all Elemental Altus Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Elemental Altus Meeting. However, the approval of the Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution is not a condition precedent to the completion of the Arrangement.

**Court Approvals**

***Interim Order***

On September 29, 2025, the Court granted the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. The Interim Order is attached as Appendix B to this Circular.

***Final Order***

The BCBCA provides that an arrangement requires Court approval. Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Interim Order, and if the Arrangement Resolution is approved by Securityholders at the Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order, EMX will apply to the Court for the Final Order.

Under the Arrangement Agreement, if the Interim Order is obtained and Securityholder Approval is received, EMX is required to apply for the Final Order as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within five Business Days thereafter. The application for the Final Order approving the Arrangement is scheduled for November 7, 2025 at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time), or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard, at the Supreme Court of British Columbia, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 0C8. At the hearing, any Securityholder and any other interested party, including holders of EMX Convertible Securities, who wish to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or argument may do so, subject to filing with the Court and serving upon EMX on or before 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on November 5, 2025, a Response to Petition, including their address for service, together with all materials on which he, she or it intends to rely at the application. The Response to Petition and supporting materials must be delivered, within the time specified, to Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8, Attention: Jessica Lewis. See Appendix C to this Circular, "*Petition and Notice of Hearing of Petition*".

Each of the (i) Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for EMX Shares and (ii) Replacement Options to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for EMX Options have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. Securities Laws, and are being issued in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption on the basis of the approval of the Court, and similar exemptions from the registration requirements under applicable state U.S. Securities Laws. The Court has been advised that if the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options are approved by the Court, EMX and Elemental Altus intend to rely upon the Final Order of the Court approving the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options as a basis for the exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of the issuance pursuant to the Arrangement of the Consideration Shares and Replacement Options. Therefore, subject to the additional requirements of Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act, should the Court make a Final Order approving the Arrangement and such issuance of the Consideration Shares and Replacement Options, such Consideration Shares and Replacement Options issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be exempt from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act.

EMX has been advised by its counsel that the Court has broad discretion under the BCBCA when making orders with respect to the Arrangement and that the Court, in hearing the application for the Final Order, will consider, among other things, the procedural and substantive fairness and the reasonableness of the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options to the Securityholders and any other interested party as the Court determines appropriate, both from a substantive and a procedural point of view. The Court may approve the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options, either as proposed or as amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court thinks fit. Depending upon the nature of any required amendments, EMX and/or Elemental Altus may determine not to proceed with the Arrangement, in which case the Consideration Shares and Replacement Options will not be issued.

------

**Right to Dissent**

**The following is only a summary of the Dissent Rights and the provisions of the BCBCA relating to a Dissenting Shareholder's dissent and appraisal rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court, as described below). Such summary is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of its EMX Shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA (which is attached as Appendix L to this Circular) as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court. It is recommended that any Registered Shareholder wishing to avail himself or herself of the Dissent Rights seek legal advice, as failure to strictly comply with the provisions of the BCBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and any other order of the Court) may prejudice their Dissent Rights and result in the loss of all rights thereunder.**

**The statutory provisions dealing with the right of dissent are technical and complex. Any Dissenting Shareholders should seek independent legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the procedures set forth in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court, may result in the loss the Shareholder's Dissent Rights.**

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each Registered Shareholder has Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution under Sections 237 through 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court. Any Registered Shareholder who duly and validly exercises such Dissent Rights, will be entitled, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid by EMX the fair value of the EMX Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as of the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution is adopted. Shareholders are cautioned that fair value could be determined to be less than the value of the Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement and that the proceeds of disposition received by a Dissenting Shareholder may be treated in a different, and potentially more adverse, manner under Canadian and United States federal income tax Laws than had such Shareholder exchanged their EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement and that an investment banking opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration payable in a sale transaction, such as the Arrangement, is not an opinion as to, and does not otherwise address, "fair value" under Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA. If a Shareholder dissents, there can be no assurance that the amount such Shareholder receives as fair value for its EMX Shares will be more than or equal to the Consideration under the Arrangement. In addition, any judicial determination of fair value will result in delay of receipt by a Dissenting Shareholder of consideration for such Dissenting Shareholder's Dissent Shares.

Persons who have their EMX Shares registered in the name of an Intermediary, or in some other name, who wish to exercise Dissent Rights should be aware that only the registered owner of such EMX Shares is entitled to dissent. In many cases, EMX Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (a) in the name of an Intermediary that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the EMX Shares; or (b) in the name of a depositary (such as CDS) of which the Intermediary is a participant. A Non-Registered Shareholder will not be entitled to exercise its Dissent Rights directly (unless the EMX Shares are re-registered in the Non-Registered Shareholder's name). A Non-Registered Shareholder that wishes to exercise Dissent Rights should immediately contact the Intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Shareholder deals in respect of its EMX Shares and either (i) instruct the Intermediary to exercise the Dissent Rights on the Non-Registered Shareholder's behalf (which, if the EMX Shares are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, may require that such EMX Shares first be re-registered in the name of the Intermediary), or (ii) instruct the Intermediary to re-register such EMX Shares in the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder, in which case the Non-Registered Shareholder would be able to exercise the Dissent Rights directly. In addition, pursuant to Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA (which is attached as Appendix L to this Circular), as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court, a Dissenting Shareholder may not exercise Dissent Rights in respect of only a portion of such Dissenting Shareholder's EMX Shares held on such Dissenting Shareholder's own behalf, but may dissent only with respect to all EMX Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder on such Dissenting Shareholder's own behalf. If a Dissenting Shareholder is exercising Dissent Rights on behalf of a Non-Registered Shareholder, the Dissenting Shareholder may dissent only with respect to all EMX Shares beneficially owned by such Non-Registered Shareholder and registered in the Dissenting Shareholder's name.

The Dissent Procedures require that a Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent must send a written notice of objection to the Arrangement Resolution to EMX (i) c/o Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8 (Attention: Jessica Lewis) and (ii) with a copy by email to <u>jlewis@cassels.com</u>, to be received by no later 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025 or, in the case of any adjourned or postponed Meeting, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the day that is two Business Days prior to the new date of the Meeting, and must otherwise strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures described in this Circular. **Failure to strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures may result in loss of the Dissent Rights. Any Shareholder wishing to exercise Dissent Rights should seek independent legal advice.**

------

To exercise Dissent Rights, a Shareholder must dissent with respect to all EMX Shares of which it is the registered and beneficial owner. A Shareholder who wishes to dissent must deliver a written Notice of Dissent to EMX as set forth above and such Notice of Dissent must strictly comply with the requirements of Section 242 of the BCBCA as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court. **Any failure by a Shareholder to fully comply with the provisions of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court, may result in the loss of that holder's Dissent Rights.** Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to exercise Dissent Rights must cause each Registered Shareholder holding their EMX Shares to deliver the Notice of Dissent, or, alternatively, make arrangements to become a Registered Shareholder.

To exercise Dissent Rights, a Registered Shareholder must prepare a separate Notice of Dissent for themselves, if dissenting on their own behalf, and for each other Non-Registered Shareholders who beneficially owns EMX Shares registered in the Registered Shareholder's name and on whose behalf the Registered Shareholder is dissenting; and must dissent with respect to all of the EMX Shares registered in their name or if dissenting on behalf of a Non-Registered Shareholder, with respect to all of the EMX Shares registered in their name and beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder on whose behalf the Registered Shareholder is dissenting. The Notice of Dissent must set out the number of EMX Shares in respect of which the Dissent Rights are being exercised (the "**Notice Shares**") and: (a) if such EMX Shares constitute all of the EMX Shares of which the Registered Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner and the Registered Shareholder owns no other EMX Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect; (b) if such EMX Shares constitute all of the EMX Shares of which the Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner, but the Shareholder owns additional EMX Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Shareholders, the number of EMX Shares held by each such Shareholder and a statement that written notices of dissent are being or have been sent with respect to such other EMX Shares; or (c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Shareholder who is not the beneficial owner of such EMX Shares, a statement to that effect and the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder and a statement that the Shareholder is dissenting with respect to all EMX Shares of the Non-Registered Shareholder registered in such Registered Shareholder's name.

The delivery of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive a Shareholder of the right to vote at the Meeting on the Arrangement Resolution; however, a Shareholder is not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to any of his or her EMX Shares if the Shareholder votes in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. A vote against the Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Notice of Dissent.

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved by the Shareholders, and EMX notifies a registered holder of Notice Shares of EMX's intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution, such Shareholder, if he or she wishes to proceed with the dissent, must within one month after the date of such notice from EMX, send to EMX a written notice that such holder requires the purchase of all of the Notice Shares in respect of which such holder has given Notice of Dissent. Such written notice must be accompanied by the certificate or certificates representing those Notice Shares (including a written statement prepared in accordance with Section 244(2) of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, Interim Order, and any other order of the Court, if the dissent is being exercised by the Registered Shareholder on behalf of a Non-Registered Shareholder), whereupon, subject to the provisions of the BCBCA relating to the termination of Dissent Rights, the Registered Shareholder becomes a Dissenting Shareholder, and is bound to sell and EMX is bound to purchase those EMX Shares. Such Dissenting Shareholder may not vote, or exercise or assert any rights of a Shareholder in respect of such Notice Shares, other than the rights set forth in Sections 237 through 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and any other order of the Court.

Dissenting Shareholders who duly exercise such rights of dissent and who:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value from EMX for the Dissent Shares in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights, will be deemed to have irrevocably assigned and transferred such Dissent Shares to EMX, as provided in Section 3.1(a) of the Plan of Arrangement, in exchange for a debt claim against EMX in an amount determined in accordance with Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for the Dissent Shares in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights, will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder who has not exercised Dissent Rights, as at and from the time specified in Section 3.1(c) of the Plan of Arrangement and be entitled to receive only the Consideration.

In no case will EMX or Elemental Altus or any other person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of EMX Shares at or after the Effective Time, and as of the Effective Time, the names of each Dissenting Shareholder will be removed from the register of Shareholders in respect of the EMX Shares.

If a Dissenting Shareholder is ultimately entitled to be paid by EMX for their Dissent Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder may enter into an agreement with EMX for the fair value of such Dissent Shares. Otherwise, such Dissenting Shareholder, or EMX, may apply to the Court, and the Court may determine the payout value of the Dissent Shares and make consequential orders and give directions as the Court considers appropriate. There is no obligation on EMX to make an application to the Court. The Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive the fair value that the EMX Shares had as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Arrangement Resolution is adopted at the Meeting. After a determination of the fair value of the Dissent Shares, EMX must then promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder.

In no circumstances will Elemental Altus, EMX or any other person be required to recognize a person as a Dissenting Shareholder: (a) unless such person is the registered holder of the EMX Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights are purported to be exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time; (b) has exercised his, her or its Dissent Rights in strict compliance with the procedures set out in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as may be modified by the Interim Order, and any other order of the Court and Section 4.1 of the Plan of Arrangement, and has neither withdrawn, nor been deemed to have withdrawn, such exercise of Dissent Rights. Holders of EMX Convertible Securities will not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights in respect of EMX Convertible Securities.

Dissent Rights with respect to Notice Shares will terminate and cease to apply to the Dissenting Shareholder if, before full payment is made for the Notice Shares, the Arrangement in respect of which the Notice of Dissent was sent is abandoned or by its terms will not proceed, a court permanently enjoins or sets aside the corporate action approved by the Arrangement Resolution, or the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Notice of Dissent with EMX's written consent. If any of these events occur, EMX must return the share certificate(s) or DRS statement representing the EMX Shares to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder regains the ability to vote and exercise its rights as a Shareholder.

The discussion above is only a summary of the Dissent Rights, which are technical and complex. A Shareholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights must strictly adhere to the procedures established in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and any other order of the Court, and failure to do so may result in the loss of that holder's Dissent Rights.

**Each Shareholder wishing to avail themselves of the Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with Sections 237 through 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order (which are attached to this Circular as Appendices L, D and B, respectively) and any other order of the Court, and seek their own legal advice.**

**The Arrangement Agreement provides that it is a condition to the obligations of Elemental Altus that holders of no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding EMX Shares shall have exercised Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. See "*****Part II -** **The Arrangement Agreement - Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective*****" below.**

**Stock Exchange Listing Approvals and Delisting Matters**

EMX is a reporting issuer under the Canadian Securities Laws in British Columbia and Alberta, and is a foreign private issuer (as such term is defined under Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act) under U.S. Securities Laws. The EMX Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V and the NYSE American in the United States under the symbol "EMX", and also trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "6E9". On September 4, 2025, the last trading day on which the EMX Shares traded prior to the announcement of the Arrangement Agreement, the closing price of the EMX Shares on the TSX-V was C$5.27 and on the NYSE American was US$3.82. On September 25, 2025, the closing price of the EMX Shares on the TSX-V was C$6.36 and on the NYSE American was US$4.59.

------

Elemental Altus is a reporting issuer under the Canadian Securities Laws in all of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Elemental Altus Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V under the symbol "ELE" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "ELEMF". Elemental Altus is pursuing a listing on a U.S. Exchange prior to the closing of the Arrangement. On September 4, 2025, the last trading day on which the Elemental Altus Shares traded prior to the announcement of the Arrangement Agreement, the closing price of the Elemental Altus Shares on the TSX-V was C$20.50 and on the OTCQX was US$14.99 (on a post-Consolidation basis assuming the Consolidation had occurred as of September 4, 2025). On September 25, 2025, the closing price of the Elemental Altus Shares on the TSX-V was C$22.88 and on the OTCQX was US$16.39.

Following the Effective Date, the EMX Shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX-V and the NYSE American and EMX expects that Elemental Altus will apply to the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities to have EMX cease to be a reporting issuer. The TSX-V has conditionally approved the Arrangement and the delisting of the EMX Shares, subject to filing certain documents with the TSX-V. For information with respect to the trading history of the EMX Shares, see Appendix I to this Circular, "*Information Concerning EMX.*"

It is a condition to completion of the Arrangement that the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange shall have conditionally approved or authorized the listing, subject only to satisfaction of the customary listing conditions, of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants. Accordingly, Elemental Altus has applied to obtain the conditional approval of the listing of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants for trading on the TSX-V. Elemental Altus has informed EMX that it has applied for the approval of the listing of the Elemental Altus Shares (including the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants) on NASDAQ, however such listing will be subject to Elemental Altus satisfying the initial listing conditions of NASDAQ with respect to the listing of such Elemental Altus Shares. The TSX-V has conditionally approved the listing of the Elemental Altus Shares to be issued under the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants, subject to filing certain documents following the closing of the Arrangement.

**Regulatory Matters**

***Swedish FDI Approval***

Under the Swedish FDI Act, there are certain activities which trigger the obligation of investors to notify the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products and obtain Swedish FDI Approval for transactions before they are consummated.

The Arrangement Agreement contemplates that the Parties shall reasonably cooperate, acting in good faith, to determine whether it is necessary or advisable to obtain the Swedish FDI Approval in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, if the Parties determine that the Swedish FDI Approval is necessary or advisable, Acquireco and Elemental shall, within ten Business Days of the date of such determination, submit a notification to the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products and Acquireco and Elemental will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such notification is complete on the day of submission.

The Parties have concluded, in light of the pre-closing divestiture by EMX's Swedish subsidiaries of certain licenses and the sale of certain of EMX's Swedish subsidiaries, that it is not necessary to obtain the Swedish FDI Approval in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

------

**Securities Law Matters**

***Canada***

<u>Reporting Issuer Status</u>

EMX is a reporting issuer under the Canadian Securities Laws in British Columbia and Alberta. The EMX Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V and the NYSE American in the United States under the symbol "EMX", and also trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "6E9". If the Arrangement is completed, EMX will, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental Altus on the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date, the EMX Shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX-V and the NYSE American and EMX expects that Elemental Altus will apply to the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities to have EMX cease to be a reporting issuer.

Elemental Altus is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Elemental Altus Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V under the symbol "ELE" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "ELEMF".

<u>Distribution and Resale of Consideration Shares</u>

The distribution of the Consideration Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute a distribution of securities which is exempt from the prospectus requirements of Canadian Securities Laws and is exempt from or otherwise is not subject to the registration requirements under applicable securities legislation. The Consideration Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement will not be legended and may be resold through registered dealers in each of the provinces and territories of Canada provided that: (i) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined in NI 45-102, (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for Elemental Altus Shares, (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of such sale, and (iv) if the selling securityholder is an insider or officer of Elemental Altus, the selling securityholder has no reasonable grounds to believe that Elemental Altus is in default of applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

<u>MI 61-101</u>

As a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Laws, EMX is subject to the requirements of MI 61-101. MI 61-101 regulates insider bids, issuer bids, business combinations and related party transactions to ensure equality of treatment among securityholders, generally by requiring enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of securityholders, excluding interested parties or related parties and their respective joint actors and, in certain instances, independent valuations and approval and oversight of certain transactions by a special committee of independent directors.

As previously described in this Circular, all of the issued and outstanding EMX Shares will be exchanged for Elemental Altus Shares under the terms of the Plan of Arrangement. Unless certain exceptions apply, the Arrangement would be considered a "business combination" in respect of EMX pursuant to MI 61-101 since the interest of a holder of a EMX Share may be terminated without the holder's consent. Accordingly, unless no related party of EMX is entitled to receive a "collateral benefit" in connection with the Arrangement, the transaction would be considered a "business combination" and subject to minority approval requirements at the Meeting (each as defined in MI 61-101).

If "minority approval" is required, MI 61-101 requires that, in addition to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, the Arrangement Resolution would also require the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes cast in respect of EMX Shares held by "interested parties", which includes "related parties" who receive a "collateral benefit" (as such terms are defined in MI 61-101) as a consequence of the transaction.

MI 61-101 excludes from the meaning of "collateral benefit" certain benefits to a related party that are received solely in connection with the related party's service as an employee, director or consultant of the issuer, of an affiliated entity of the issuer or of a successor to the business of the issuer where: (a) the benefit is not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related party for securities relinquished under the transactions; (b) the benefit is not, by its terms, conditional on the related party supporting the transaction in any manner; (c) full particulars of the benefit are disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction; and (d) either (i) the related party and their associated entities beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, less than 1% of each class of the outstanding securities of the issuer (the "**1% Test**"), or (ii) the related party discloses to an independent committee of the issuer the amount of the consideration that they expect to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the transaction, in exchange for the equity securities they beneficially own and the independent committee acting in good faith determines that the value of the benefit, net of any offsetting costs to the related party, is less than 5% of the value of the consideration the related party will receive pursuant to the terms of the transaction for the equity securities it beneficially owns, and the independent committee's determination is disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction (the "**5% Test**").

------

In connection with the Arrangement, the outstanding EMX Convertible Securities will be treated as set forth under "*Part I - The Arrangement* - *Effect of the Arrangement* - *Effect on EMX Options*" and "*Part I - The Arrangement* - *Effect of the Arrangement* - *Other EMX Convertible Securities*" in this Circular, and certain officers of EMX are entitled to certain rights upon and/or following a change of control as set forth under "*Part I - The Arrangement* - *Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement*" in this Circular, and EMX has considered whether any of these matters may constitute a "collateral benefit" for purposes of MI 61-101 such that the Arrangement would therefore constitute a "business combination" under MI 61-101.

The Board has determined that the aforementioned benefits and payments, other than with respect to each of (a) David Cole, Director, President and Chief Executive Officer; (b) Michael Winn, Executive Chairman; (c) Eric P. Jensen, General Manager of Exploration; and (d) David Johnson, Chief Geologist, fall within an exception to the definition of "collateral benefit" for the purposes of MI 61-101, since the benefits are received solely in connection with their services as an employee or director of EMX or of any affiliated entities of EMX, and satisfy the requirements of the 1% Test.

As of the date of this Circular, David Cole beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, 2,732,091 EMX Shares, 598,000 EMX Options and 325,000 EMX RSUs. Such EMX Options and EMX RSUs provide for the issuance of up to 923,000 EMX Shares upon the vesting and exercise or settlement thereof. As such, David Cole holds a total of 3,655,091 EMX securities (representing approximately 2.51% of the outstanding EMX Shares on a non-diluted basis and 3.33% of the EMX Shares on a partially diluted basis) for the purpose of the 1% Test. In connection with the completion of the Arrangement, David Cole will be entitled to receive benefits and/or payments on account of his EMX Options and EMX RSUs. In addition, David Cole is expected to become an officer of Elemental Altus effective upon the completion of the Arrangement. EMX has determined it may not rely on the 5% Test with respect to the benefit that will be received by David Cole, as the value of the benefit David Cole will receive as a result of the Arrangement, net of any offsetting costs to David Cole, is not less than 5% of the value of the amount of consideration that David Cole expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the Arrangement, in exchange for the EMX Shares beneficially owned by David Cole.

As of the date of this Circular, Michael Winn beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, 1,668,641 EMX Shares, 548,000 EMX Options and 325,000 EMX RSUs.

In connection with the completion of the Arrangement, Michael Winn will be entitled to receive benefits and/or payments on account of his EMX Options and EMX RSUs and change of control under his employment agreement. EMX has determined it may not rely on the 5% Test with respect to the benefit that will be received by Michael Winn, as the value of the benefit Michael Winn will receive as a result of the Arrangement, net of any offsetting costs to Michael Winn, is not less than 5% of the value of the amount of consideration that Michael Winn expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the Arrangement, in exchange for the EMX Shares beneficially owned by Michael Winn.

As of the date of this Circular, Eric P. Jensen beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, 1,052,000 EMX Shares, 450,000 EMX Options and 250,000 EMX RSUs.

Jensen holds a total of 1,752,000 EMX securities (representing approximately 0.97% of the outstanding EMX Shares on a non-diluted basis and 1.60% of the EMX Shares on a partially diluted basis) for the purpose of the 1% Test. In connection with the completion of the Arrangement, Eric P. Jensen will be entitled to receive benefits and/or payments on account of his EMX Options and EMX RSUs. EMX has determined it may not rely on the 5% Test with respect to the benefit that will be received by Eric P. Jensen, as the value of the benefit Eric P. Jensen will receive as a result of the Arrangement, net of any offsetting costs to Eric P. Jensen, is not less than 5% of the value of the amount of consideration that Eric P. Jensen expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the Arrangement, in exchange for the EMX Shares beneficially owned by Eric P. Jensen.

------

As of the date of this Circular, David Johnson beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, 1,026,294 EMX Shares, 450,000 EMX Options and 250,000 EMX RSUs. Such EMX Options and EMX RSUs provide for the issuance of up to 700,000 EMX Shares upon the vesting and exercise or settlement thereof. As such, David Johnson holds a total of 1,726,294 EMX securities (representing approximately 0.94% of the outstanding EMX Shares on a non-diluted basis and 1.57% of the EMX Shares on a partially diluted basis) for the purpose of the 1% Test. In connection with the completion of the Arrangement, David Johnson will be entitled to receive benefits and/or payments on account of his EMX Options and EMX RSUs. EMX has determined it may not rely on the 5% Test with respect to the benefit that will be received by David Johnson, as the value of the benefit David Johnson will receive as a result of the Arrangement, net of any offsetting costs to David Johnson, is not less than 5% of the value of the amount of consideration that David Johnson expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the Arrangement, in exchange for the EMX Shares beneficially owned by David Johnson.

As a result, such benefits may constitute a "collateral benefit" in connection with the Arrangement and, accordingly, the Arrangement may be a "business combination" necessitating "minority approval" under MI 61-101, comprised of a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes cast by any shareholder required to be excluded pursuant to Section 8.1 of MI 61-101. EMX will treat all votes cast at the Meeting in respect of EMX Shares held, directly or indirectly, by David Cole, Michael Winn, Eric P. Jensen and David Johnson as excluded votes for the purposes of "minority approval" and MI 61-101.

As a result of the foregoing and the provisions of MI 61-101, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by (i) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting; (ii) at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all Shareholders and Optionholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding (in respect of (iii) only) votes cast by David Cole, Michael Winn, Eric P. Jensen and David Johnson. As of September 25, 2025, being the Record Date for the Meeting, David Cole, Michael Winn, Eric P. Jensen and David Johnson held an aggregate of 6,479,026 EMX Shares.

No formal valuation under MI 61-101 is required to be obtained by EMX in connection with the Arrangement as no interested party (as defined in MI 61-101) would, as a consequence of the Arrangement, directly or indirectly acquire EMX or the business of EMX, or combine with EMX, through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with joint actors.

Except as described in this Circular, EMX has not received any *bona fide* prior offer that relates to the subject matter of or is otherwise relevant to the Arrangement during the 24 months before the date of the Arrangement Agreement.

***United States***

Each of the (i) Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for EMX Shares and (ii) Replacement Options to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for EMX Options have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any other U.S. Securities Laws, and are being issued in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption on the basis of the approval of the Court, and similar exemptions from the registration requirements under applicable state U.S. Securities Laws. Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act exempts the issuance of any securities issued in exchange for one or more *bona fide* outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, that is expressly authorized by Law to grant such approval, after a hearing upon the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue the securities have the right to appear and receive timely and adequate notice thereof. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options will be considered. The Court has been advised that if the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options are approved by the Court, EMX and Elemental Altus intend to rely upon the Final Order of the Court approving the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options as a basis for the exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of the Consideration Shares and Replacement Options to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement. Therefore, subject to the additional requirements of Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act, should the Court make a Final Order approving the Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares and Replacement Options, such Consideration Shares and Replacement Options issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act. The Court granted the Interim Order on September 29, 2025, and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement by Securityholders and satisfaction of certain other conditions, a hearing in respect of the Final Order is expected to be held on November 7, 2025 by the Court. All persons who will receive Consideration Shares or Replacement Options in the Arrangement are entitled to appear and be heard at this hearing, provided they satisfy the applicable conditions set forth in the Interim Order. See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Court Approvals*".

------

**The exemption pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act will not be available for the issuance of any Elemental Altus Shares that are issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options or the EMX Warrants. Therefore, the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants may not be exercised or converted in the United States or by or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, nor may Elemental Altus Shares be issued upon such exercise or conversion, unless pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state U.S. Securities Laws (in which case they will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act), or following registration under such Laws. Elemental Altus has agreed that, on or as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, it will file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC to register the issuance of Elemental Shares upon exercise of the EMX Replacement Options from time to time after the Effective Time. Elemental Altus has no present intention to register under the U.S. Securities Act the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the EMX Warrants and no assurance can be made that Elemental Altus will register, or has taken effective steps to register, such Elemental Altus Shares in the future.**

Elemental Altus has applied to list the Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants on the TSX-V. Elemental Altus has informed EMX that it has applied for the approval of the listing of the Elemental Altus Shares (including the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants) on NASDAQ, subject to Elemental Altus satisfying the initial listing conditions of NASDAQ. The TSX-V has conditionally approved the listing of the Elemental Altus Shares to be issued under the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants, subject to filing certain documents following the closing of the Arrangement.

The Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement and Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of Replacement Options following registration on Form S-8, will be, upon completion of the Arrangement, freely tradeable under the U.S. Securities Act, except by persons who are "affiliates" (within the meaning of Rule 144) of Elemental Altus at such time or were affiliates of Elemental Altus within 90 days before such time. The determination of an "affiliate" depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. Persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of an issuer (e.g., Elemental Altus) generally include individuals or entities that directly or indirectly control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, the issuer, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as certain major shareholders of the issuer.

Any resale of such Consideration Shares by such an "affiliate" (or were "affiliates" of Elemental Altus within 90 days prior to the Effective Date) will be subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, absent an exemption or exclusion therefrom. Subject to certain limitations, such "affiliates" (and former "affiliates") may immediately resell Consideration Shares outside the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. If available, such "affiliates" (and former "affiliates") may also resell such Consideration Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act.

<u>Resales by Affiliates Pursuant to Rule 144</u> 

In general, under Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, persons who are affiliates of Elemental Altus after the Effective Date (or were affiliates of Elemental Altus within 90 days prior to the Effective Date) may sell, the Consideration Shares they receive in connection with the Arrangement, provided that the number of such securities sold, together with all other shares of the same class sold for their account, during any three-month period, does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then-outstanding shares of the same class (the "**1% Alternative**") or (ii) if such class is listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, the average reported weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the notice of sale on Form 144 (the "**4 Week Alternative**"), and subject to specified requirements on (for equity securities) manner of sale, electronic filing requirements, aggregation rules (including sales by certain related persons) and the availability of "adequate current public information." For so long as Elemental Altus is not listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, only the 1% Alternative is available for sales in the United States. After Elemental Altus has been a U.S. reporting company for at least 90 days and is a U.S. reporting issuer that is current in its SEC filings, Consideration Shares they receive in connection with the Arrangement may be sold either under the 1% Alternative or under the 4 Week Alternative and in compliance with the other requirements set forth in Rule 144, including filing a Form 144 electronically before placing any order to sell.

------

<u>Resales by Affiliates Pursuant to Regulation S</u>

In general, under Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, persons who are affiliates of Elemental Altus following the Effective Date (or were affiliates of Elemental Altus within 90 days prior to the Effective Date) solely by virtue of their status as an officer or director of Elemental Altus may sell their Consideration Shares outside the United States in an "offshore transaction" (within the meaning of Rule 902(h) of Regulation S) if neither the seller, an affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on any of their behalf engages in "directed selling efforts" in the United States and provided that no selling commission, fee or other remuneration is paid in connection with such sale other than the usual and customary broker's commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent. For purposes of Regulation S, "directed selling efforts" means "any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the securities being offered". Also, under Regulation S, subject to certain exceptions contained in Regulation S, an "offshore transaction" is a transaction in which the offer of the applicable securities is not made to a person in the United States, and either (a) at the time the buy order is originated, the buyer is outside the United States or the seller reasonably believes that the buyer is outside of the United States, or (b) the transaction, which has not been pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States, is executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market (which would include a sale on the TSX-V). Certain additional restrictions, set forth in Rule 903 of Regulation S, are applicable to sales outside the United States and to "U.S. persons" (as such term is defined in Regulation S) by a holder of Consideration Shares who is an affiliate of Elemental Altus upon completion of the Arrangement (or was an affiliate of Elemental Altus within 90 days prior to such time) other than solely by virtue of their status as an officer or director of Elemental Altus.

<u>Exercise of Replacement Options and EMX Warrants</u>

Each Replacement Option (whether vested or unvested) shall remain outstanding in accordance with the terms of the EMX Option Plan, and following the Effective Time, upon exercise of such Replacement Option, such Replacement Option shall entitle the holder to receive, pursuant to the terms of the Replacement Option and in accordance with the terms of the EMX Option Plan, such number of Elemental Altus Shares as set forth under the terms of the Plan of Arrangement. The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption does not exempt the issuance of securities upon the exercise of the Replacement Options or EMX Warrants. As a result, the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants may not be exercised in the United States or by or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, nor may Elemental Altus Shares be issued upon such exercise, unless pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state U.S. Securities Laws or pursuant to a registration under such U.S. Securities Laws. Elemental Altus has agreed that, on or as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, it will file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC to register the issuance of Elemental Shares upon exercise of the EMX Replacement Options from time to time after the Effective Time. Prior to the issuance of any Elemental Altus Shares pursuant to any such exercise of EMX Warrants after the Effective Time, if any, Elemental Altus may require evidence reasonably satisfactory to Elemental Altus to the effect that the issuance of such Elemental Altus Shares does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state U.S. Securities Laws.

------

Elemental Altus Shares received upon exercise of the Replacement Options (unless and until such Elemental Altus Shares have been registered on Form S-8) and EMX Warrants after the Effective Time, if any, by holders in the United States will, subject to certain exceptions, be "restricted securities", as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act, and may not be resold unless such securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state U.S. Securities Laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Subject to certain limitations as noted above and as set forth in the U.S. Securities Laws, the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon the exercise of Replacement Options and EMX Warrants may be resold outside the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S in an "offshore transaction" (within the meaning of Rule 902(h) of Regulation S) or within the United States subject to an available exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act.

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. Securities Laws applicable to the resale of Consideration Shares received upon completion of the Arrangement or the exercise of Replacement Options and EMX Warrants or the resale of the Elemental Altus Shares to be received upon such exercise. **All holders of such securities are urged to consult with counsel to ensure that the resale of their securities complies with applicable securities legislation.**

**PART II - THE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT**

**The Arrangement Agreement**

The following summarizes the material provisions of the Arrangement Agreement. This summary may not contain all of the information about the Arrangement Agreement that is important to Securityholders. The rights and obligations of the Parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Circular. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Arrangement Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein and has been filed by EMX on its SEDAR+ profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u> and on EDGAR at <u>www.sec.gov</u>. Capitalized terms not expressly defined in this Circular have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Arrangement Agreement.

In reviewing the Arrangement Agreement and this summary, please remember that this summary has been included to provide Securityholders with information regarding the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and is not intended to provide any other factual information about EMX, Elemental Altus, Acquireco or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Arrangement Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants by each of the Parties to the Arrangement Agreement, which are summarized below. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the other Parties to the Arrangement Agreement and:

* were not intended as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the Parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

* have been qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made to the other Party in connection with the negotiation of the Arrangement Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Arrangement Agreement; and

* may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by Elemental Altus Shareholders or other investors or are qualified by reference to a Material Adverse Effect, or in the case of EMX, by the EMX Disclosure Letter and, in the case of Elemental Altus, by the Elemental Altus Disclosure Letter.

Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties in the Arrangement Agreement and described below may have changed since the date of the Arrangement Agreement and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included in this Circular. Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the Arrangement Agreement should not be read alone, but instead should be read together with the information provided elsewhere in this Circular and in the documents incorporated by reference into this Circular.

In particular, some of the representations and warranties are subject to a contractual standard of materiality or Material Adverse Effect different from that generally applicable to public disclosure, or are used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Parties to the Arrangement Agreement. For the foregoing reasons, readers should not rely on the representations and warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement as statements of factual information at the time they were made or otherwise.

Nothing contained in the Arrangement Agreement shall prohibit a Party or its board of directors from (i) making any disclosure to its security holders (through a director's circular or otherwise) in response to an Acquisition Proposal (which response shall comply with the terms, conditions, covenants and requirements set out in the Arrangement Agreement) (or in the event of an EMX Change in Recommendation or an Elemental Altus Change in Recommendation, as applicable, in the circumstances described in the Arrangement Agreement), if such Party's board of directors, acting in good faith and upon the advice of outside legal counsel, first determines that such disclosure is required by Law, a Governmental Entity or an Order of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) calling or holding a meeting of its security holders validly and legally requisitioned in accordance with applicable Laws, or (iii) taking any other action with respect to an Acquisition Proposal to the extent ordered or otherwise required by Law, a Governmental Entity or an Order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

For the complete text of the applicable provisions, see section 7.2 of the Arrangement Agreement.

***Right to Accept a Superior Proposal***

If Elemental Altus or Acquireco, on the one hand, or EMX, on the other receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal at any time prior to obtaining (w) the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval, where the Receiving Party is Elemental Altus or Acquireco or (x) the Securityholder Approval, where the Receiving Party is EMX, the Receiving Party may (y) make an EMX Change in Recommendation or an Elemental Altus Change in Recommendation, as applicable, or (z) enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case if, and only if:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the person or persons making the Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non- disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement, restriction or covenant contained in any Contract entered into with the Receiving Party or a subsidiary of the Receiving Party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Receiving Party has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement in all material respects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Receiving Party has delivered to the other Party or Parties, as applicable, a written notice which shall include: (i) confirmation that the Receiving Party's board(s) of directors has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (ii) confirmation that the Receiving Party's board(s) of directors has resolved to, as applicable (A) approve, recommend or enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, and/or (B) make an EMX Change in Recommendation or an Elemental Altus Change in Recommendation, as applicable; (iii) the value and financial terms that the Receiving Party's board(s) of directors, after consultation with its financial advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Superior Proposal; (iv) the identity of the person making the Superior Proposal and a copy of any Alternative Transaction Agreement relating to such Superior Proposal; and (v) copies of any material financing documents provided to the Receiving Party in connection therewith (with customary redactions) (a "**Superior Proposal Notice**");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) at least five Business Days (the "**Matching Period**") have elapsed from the date on which the other Party or Parties, as applicable, received the Superior Proposal Notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) during any Matching Period, the other Party or Parties, as applicable, has had the opportunity (but not the obligation) to offer to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) if the other Party or Parties, as applicable, has or have offered to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement before the expiry of the Matching Period, the board of directors of the Receiving Party has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal compared to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the other Party or Parties, as applicable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) prior to or concurrently with entering into an Alternative Transaction Agreement in respect of the Superior Proposal, the Receiving Party shall terminate the Arrangement Agreement and pay the Termination Fee.

During any Matching Period, or such longer period as the Receiving Party may approve in writing, in its sole discretion: (i) the other Party or Parties, as applicable, shall have the opportunity (but not the obligation) to offer to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal and the board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party will review any such offer to amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, in order to determine whether such offer would, upon acceptance by the Receiving Party, result in such Acquisition Proposal that constituted a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal, and (ii) the Receiving Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with the other Party or Parties, as applicable, to make such mutually agreed amendments to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement as would enable the other Party or Parties, as applicable, to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement on such amended terms. If the board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Receiving Party shall advise the other Party or Parties, as applicable, and the Parties shall amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement to reflect such offer made by the other Party or Parties, as applicable, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing. If the board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, determines that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects the other Party's offer to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement, if any, the Receiving Party may, subject to compliance with the other provisions hereof, terminate the Arrangement Agreement and enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

------

Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Receiving Party's securityholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal, and the other Party or Parties, as applicable, shall be afforded a new five Business Day Matching Period which shall commence on the date on which the other Party or Parties, as applicable, received the Superior Proposal Notice with respect to each new Acquisition Proposal from the Receiving Party.

The board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party shall promptly, as applicable, where EMX is the Receiving Party, reaffirm the EMX Board Recommendation or where Elemental Altus or Acquireco is the Receiving Party, reaffirm the Elemental Altus Board Recommendation, by news release after any Acquisition Proposal which is determined to not be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the Receiving Party determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Receiving Party shall provide the other Party or Parties, as applicable and their outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such news release and shall give reasonable and due consideration to any comments made by the other Party or Parties, as applicable, and their outside legal counsel.

In the event that the Receiving Party provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the other Party or Parties, as applicable, on a date that is less than ten Business Days before the EMX Meeting (or the Elemental Altus Meeting, as applicable), the Receiving Party may, and the other Party or Parties, as applicable, shall be entitled to require the Receiving Party, and the Receiving Party shall upon such request, proceed with, or adjourn or postpone the EMX Meeting (or the Elemental Altus Meeting, as applicable), in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement to a date specified by the other Party or Parties, as applicable that is not more than fifteen Business Days after the scheduled date of the EMX Meeting (or the Elemental Altus Meeting, as applicable); provided that in no event shall such adjourned or postponed EMX Meeting or the Elemental Altus Meeting, as applicable, be held on a date that is less than five Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

For the complete text of the applicable provisions, see section 7.3 of the Arrangement Agreement.

**Expenses and Termination Fees**

The Parties have agreed that all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs or expenses, except in the circumstances described below.

For the complete text of the applicable provisions, see section 7.4 of the Arrangement Agreement.

***Termination Fee***

If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated as a result of a Party entering into an agreement, understanding or arrangement to effect an Acquisition Proposal that is a Superior Proposal, subject to certain limitations, an Elemental Altus Change in Recommendation or EMX Change in Recommendation, as applicable, in respect of the Arrangement or applicable shareholder approval is not obtained following an Elemental Altus Change in Recommendation or EMX Change in Recommendation, as applicable, (unless basis for the change is the occurrence of a material adverse effect with respect to EMX or Elemental Altus, as applicable) and such Party terminates the Arrangement Agreement or the material breach of such Party's non-solicitation covenants, then such Party will pay the applicable Termination Fee to the other Party.

In addition to the foregoing, the Arrangement Agreement may terminated due to the failure of EMX to obtain Securityholder Approval at the Meeting or Elemental Altus to obtain Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval at the Elemental Altus Meeting (such Party, the "**Non-Approving Party**") if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) prior to such holding of the Elemental Altus Meeting or the EMX Meeting, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal with respect to Elemental Altus by any person or group of persons (other than EMX or any of its affiliates) is made to Elemental Altus and publicly announced by Elemental Altus or the person or group of persons who made such Acquisition Proposal, and such Acquisition Proposal has not expired or been withdrawn or terminated at least five Business Days prior to the Elemental Altus Meeting; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) within twelve (months following the date of such termination, either (i) any Acquisition Proposal is consummated (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (a) above), or (ii) Elemental Altus or one or more of its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, accepts, approves or enters into a legally binding agreement in respect of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (a) above) and such Acquisition Proposal is later consummated or effected (whether or not within such twelve month period),

provided that, for the purposes of the above "20%" in the definition of "Acquisition Proposal" shall be deemed to be references to "50%". If so terminated, then the Non-Approving Party will pay to the other Party the Termination Fee within two Business Days following the closing of the applicable transaction.

Elemental Altus shall also be required to pay the Elemental Altus Termination Fee to EMX if the Elemental Altus Financing is terminated or the condition to completing the Elemental Altus Financing is not completed.

***Expense Reimbursement***

In the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by EMX or Elemental Altus, where (i) the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Elemental Altus Meeting; or (ii) the Securityholder Approval is not obtained at the Meeting, respectively, such terminating Party is entitled to an expense reimbursement payment of C$2 million provided that no expense reimbursement shall be payable to the terminating Party if such terminating Party has failed to obtain its requisite shareholder approval at its securityholder meeting (if held prior to such time) or a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the terminating Party has occurred prior to its securityholder meeting.

***Termination***

Subject to payment of the Termination Fee where applicable, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated and the Arrangement abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by mutual written agreement of EMX and Elemental Altus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by either EMX or Elemental Altus if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, provided that such termination right shall not be available to a Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations or whose breach of any of its representations and warranties under the Arrangement Agreement has been the principal cause of the failure of the Effective Time to occur by the Outside Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, there shall be enacted, enforced, amended or made any applicable Law that makes consummation of the Arrangement illegal or otherwise prohibits or enjoins EMX, Elemental Altus or Acquireco from consummating the Arrangement and such Law (if applicable) or enjoinment shall have become final and non-appealable, provided that the enactment, enforcement, amendment or making of such Law or enjoinment was not caused by, or is a result of, a breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties or the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants under the Arrangement Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Securityholder Approval is not obtained at the Meeting in accordance with the Interim Order, provided that a Party may not terminate if the failure to obtain the Securityholder Approval has been principally caused by a breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties, or the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements, under the Arrangement Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Elemental Altus Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, provided that a Party may not terminate if the failure to obtain the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval, if required, has been principally caused by a breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties, or the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements, under the Arrangement Agreement; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) by Elemental Altus if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the EMX Board makes an EMX Change in Recommendation (unless the basis for the EMX Change in Recommendation is within the circumstances described in the Arrangement Agreement resulting from a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Elemental Altus);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) prior to Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval, Elemental Altus enters into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, provided that concurrently with such termination, Elemental Altus pays the Elemental Altus Termination Fee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) subject to the notice and cure provisions set out in the Arrangement Agreement, a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of EMX set out in the Arrangement Agreement (other than the non-solicitation provisions) shall have occurred that would cause the conditions precedent to the benefit of Elemental Altus not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured or is not cured in accordance with the notice and cure provisions set out in the Arrangement Agreement; provided that any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be deemed to be incapable of being cured and provided further that Elemental Altus is not then in breach of the Arrangement Agreement so as to directly or indirectly cause any of the conditions to the obligations of EMX not to be satisfied;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) EMX is in breach or default of any of its non-solicitation obligations in any material respect or covenants set forth in the Arrangement Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) a Material Adverse Effect in respect of EMX has occurred and is continuing such that the corresponding condition is incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) by EMX if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Elemental Altus Board makes an Elemental Altus Change in Recommendation (unless the basis for the Elemental Altus Change in Recommendation is within the circumstances described in the Arrangement Agreement resulting from a Material Adverse Effect with respect to EMX);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) prior to the Securityholder Approval, EMX enters into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, provided that concurrently with such termination, EMX pays the EMX Termination Fee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) subject to the notice and cure provisions set out in the Arrangement Agreement, a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Elemental Altus set out in the Arrangement Agreement (other than the non-solicitation provisions) shall have occurred that would cause the conditions precedent to the benefit of EMX not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured or is not cured in accordance with the notice and cure provisions set out in the Arrangement Agreement; provided that any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be deemed to be incapable of being cured and provided further that EMX is not then in breach of the Arrangement Agreement so as to directly or indirectly cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Elemental Altus not to be satisfied;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Elemental Altus Financing Subscription Agreement is terminated for any reason (for greater certainty, other than where the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date and such non-occurrence did not result from a breach of the Elemental Altus Financing Subscription Agreement by any party thereto) and/or the corresponding condition is incapable of being satisfied by the Effective Date, *including* as a result of a breach of the Elemental Altus Financing Subscription Agreement by any party thereto, but *excluding*, in all cases, either the termination of the Elemental Altus Financing Subscription Agreement and/or the corresponding condition being incapable of being satisfied solely due to the Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval not being obtained at the Elemental Altus Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Elemental Altus is in breach or default of any of its non-solicitation obligations in any material respect or covenants set forth in the Arrangement Agreement; or

For the complete text of the applicable provisions, see section 8.2 of the Arrangement Agreement.

**Amendments**

Subject to the provisions of the Interim Order, the Final Order and the Plan of Arrangement, the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the Meeting or the Elemental Altus Meeting, but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties without, subject to applicable Laws, further notice to or authorization on the part of the Securityholders and any such amendment may, subject to the Interim Order, the Final Order, the Plan of Arrangement and applicable Law, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) waive any inaccuracies or modify any representation or warranty contained in the Arrangement Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants contained in the Arrangement Agreement and waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the Parties; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) waive compliance with or modify any mutual conditions precedent contained in the Arrangement Agreement.

For the complete text of the applicable provisions, see section 8.3 of the Arrangement Agreement.

------

**PART III - RISK FACTORS**

**Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement**

The completion of the Arrangement involves certain risks. In addition to the risk factors described under the heading "*Risk Factors*" in each of the EMX AIF and Elemental Altus AIF, which risk factors are specifically incorporated by reference into this Circular, and the risk factors described under "*Appendix I - Information Concerning EMX - Risk Factors*" and "*Appendix J - Information Concerning Elemental Altus - Risk Factors*" in this Circular, the following are additional and supplemental risk factors which Securityholders should carefully consider before making a decision regarding approving the Arrangement Resolution. Readers are cautioned that such risk factors are not exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties, including those currently unknown or considered immaterial to EMX or Elemental Altus, may also adversely affect EMX or Elemental Altus prior to completion of the Arrangement, or the Combined Company if the Arrangement is completed.

***The Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, and there is no certainty that all conditions will be satisfied or waived***

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Court, Securityholder Approval and Elemental Altus Shareholder Approval, none of which are within the control of either EMX and Elemental Altus to obtain. In addition, completion of the Arrangement is conditional upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Elemental Altus Financing. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or that the Arrangement will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. If, for any reason, the Arrangement is not completed or its completion is substantially delayed, the market price of EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares may be materially adversely effected. In such events, EMX's or Elemental Altus' business, financial condition or results of operations could also be subject to material adverse consequences.

It is also a condition to completion of the Arrangement that the Key Regulatory Approvals shall have been obtained, including that the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange shall have conditionally approved the listing, subject only to satisfaction of the customary listing conditions, of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants. Accordingly, Elemental Altus has applied to obtain the conditional approval of the listing of the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants for trading on the TSX-V. Elemental Altus has informed EMX that it has applied for the approval of the listing of the Elemental Altus Shares (including the Consideration Shares and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants) on NASDAQ, however such listing will be subject to Elemental Altus satisfying the initial listing conditions of NASDAQ with respect to the listing of such Elemental Altus Shares. The TSX-V has conditionally approved the listing of the Elemental Altus Shares to be issued under the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Shares issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants, subject to filing certain documents following the closing of the Arrangement.

***Shareholders will receive a fixed number of Elemental Altus Shares and the market value of Elemental Altus Shares may fluctuate prior to and following completion of the Arrangement***

Shareholders will receive a fixed number of Elemental Altus Shares under the Arrangement, rather than a variable number of Elemental Altus Shares with a fixed relative market value. As the number of Elemental Altus Shares to be received in respect of each EMX Share under the Arrangement will not be adjusted to reflect any change in the relative market value of EMX Shares (or in the relative market value of Elemental Altus Shares), the number of Elemental Altus Shares received by Shareholders under the Arrangement may vary significantly from the relative market value of EMX Shares expressed at the dates referenced in this Circular. There can be no assurance that the relative market price of EMX Shares on the Effective Date will be the same or similar to the relative market price of such shares on the date of the Meeting. The underlying cause of any such change in relative market price may not constitute a Material Adverse Effect, the occurrence of which in respect of a Party could entitle the other Party to terminate the Arrangement Agreement, or otherwise entitle either Party to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, the number of Elemental Altus Shares being issued in connection with the Arrangement will not change despite decreases or increases in the market prices of EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares. Many of the factors that affect the market prices of the EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares are beyond the control of EMX or Elemental Altus, respectively. These factors include fluctuations in commodity prices, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, changes in the regulatory environment, adverse political developments, prevailing conditions in the capital markets and interest rate fluctuations. There can also be no assurance that the trading price of the Elemental Altus Shares will not decline following the completion of the Arrangement.

------

***The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances***

Each of EMX and Elemental Altus has the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can either of EMX or Elemental Altus provide any assurance, that the Arrangement will not be terminated by either EMX or Elemental Altus before the completion of the Arrangement. For instance, EMX has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement if there is a Material Adverse Effect relating to Elemental Altus. Conversely, Elemental Altus has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement if there is a Material Adverse Effect relating to EMX. There is no assurance that a Material Adverse Effect relating to EMX will not occur before the Effective Date, in which case Elemental Altus could elect to terminate the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement would not proceed. Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the trading price of the EMX Shares or otherwise adversely affect the business of EMX. If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, EMX may be required to pay the Termination Fee or expense reimbursement of up to C$2 million in certain circumstances.

***While the Arrangement is pending, EMX is restricted from pursuing alternatives to the Arrangement and taking other certain actions***

Under the Arrangement Agreement, EMX is restricted, subject to certain limited exceptions, from making, soliciting, initiating, promoting or otherwise knowingly facilitating, including by way of furnishing information, permitting any visit to its facilities or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding an Acquisition Proposal. In addition, the Arrangement Agreement restricts EMX from taking specified actions until the Arrangement is completed without the consent of Elemental Altus, which may adversely affect the ability of EMX to execute certain business strategies, including, but not limited to, the ability in certain cases to enter into or amend contracts, acquire or dispose of assets, incur indebtedness or incur capital expenditures. These restrictions may prevent EMX from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Arrangement. If the Arrangement is not completed for any reason, the announcement of the Arrangement, the dedication of EMX's resources to the completion thereof and the restrictions that were imposed on EMX under the Arrangement Agreement may have an adverse effect on the current future operations, financial condition and prospects of EMX as a standalone entity.

***EMX could be required to pay Elemental Altus a termination fee of approximately C$15.75 million in specified circumstances***

The Arrangement Agreement provides that EMX will be required to pay a termination fee of approximately C$15.75 million to Elemental Altus, upon termination of the Arrangement Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including, among others, where: (i) Elemental Altus terminates the Arrangement Agreement as a result of an EMX Change in Recommendation (subject to the exceptions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement); (ii) Elemental Altus terminates the Arrangement Agreement due to a material breach by EMX of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement; (iii) EMX terminates the Arrangement Agreement due to EMX entering into an agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal; (iv) by Elemental Altus in the event of certain breaches by EMX of its representations and warranties or certain failures to perform covenants and agreements set forth in the Arrangement Agreement or by either Party if the Securityholder Approval is not obtained, and subject to certain conditions if, prior to the holding of the Meeting, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal is made with respect to EMX and within 12 months of the date of termination, an Acquisition Proposal is consummated or EMX enters into a binding agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

The Termination Fee that may be payable by EMX to Elemental Altus may discourage other parties from attempting to enter into a business transaction with EMX, even if those parties would otherwise be willing to enter into an agreement with EMX for a business combination and would be prepared to pay consideration with a higher price per share or cash market value than the per share market value proposed to be received or realized in the Arrangement. In addition, payment of such amount may have a material adverse effect on the business and affairs of EMX. See "*Part II* - *The Arrangement Agreement - Expenses and Termination - Termination*".

------

***The Termination Payment, if triggered, and the terms of the Voting Agreements, may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire EMX***

Under the Arrangement Agreement, EMX is required to pay to Elemental Altus a Termination Fee of C$15.75 million in specified circumstances (see "*The Arrangement Agreement - Expenses and Termination Fees*"). The Termination Payment may discourage other parties from making an Acquisition Proposal, even if those parties would otherwise be willing to offer greater value to Shareholders than that offered by Elemental Altus under the Arrangement.

Furthermore, certain Shareholders holding approximately 22.62% of the issued and outstanding EMX Shares have entered into Voting Agreements with Elemental Altus. The Voting Agreements set forth, among other things, the agreement of the EMX Supporting Shareholders to (i) vote all of their securities entitled to vote for the approval of the Arrangement Resolution, and; (ii) vote all of their securities entitled to vote against any Acquisition Proposal, and/or any matter that could reasonably be expected to delay, prevent, impede or frustrate the successful completion of the Arrangement or any other transaction contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (See "*The Arrangement - Voting Agreements*"). As a result, the Voting Agreements may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire the EMX Shares, even if those parties would otherwise be willing to offer greater value to Shareholders than that offered by Elemental Altus under the Arrangement.

***EMX will incur costs even if the Arrangement is not completed and EMX or Elemental Altus may have to pay various expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement, including up to C$2 million as an expense reimbursement if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances***

Certain costs related to the Arrangement, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees, must be paid by EMX even if the Arrangement is not completed. EMX is liable for its own costs incurred in connection with the Arrangement.

EMX is required to pay to Elemental Altus an amount up to C$2 million as an expense reimbursement if either Party terminates the Arrangement Agreement as a result of the EMX Securityholder Approval not being obtained at the Meeting, provided that such Party may not terminate for such reason if the failure to obtain the EMX Securityholder Approval has been principally caused by a breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties, or the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements, under the Arrangement Agreement.

EMX and Elemental Altus have also incurred and expect to incur additional material non-recurring expenses in connection with the Arrangement and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, including costs related to obtaining required securityholder and court approvals. Additional unanticipated costs or expenses may be incurred by Elemental Altus in the course of coordinating the businesses of the Combined Company.

***If the Arrangement is not consummated by the Outside Date, either EMX or Elemental Altus may elect not to proceed with the Arrangement***

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, either EMX or Elemental Altus may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement has not been completed by February 4, 2026, unless (i) extended by mutual agreement of the Parties or (ii) extended by any one Party for a period of not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days under certain conditions, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

***EMX and Elemental Altus may become the targets of legal claims, securities class actions, derivative lawsuits and other claims and any such claims may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed***

EMX and Elemental Altus may be the target of securities class actions and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed. Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into an agreement to acquire a public company or to be acquired. Third parties may also attempt to bring claims against EMX and Elemental Altus seeking to restrain the Arrangement or seeking monetary compensation or other remedies. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Arrangement, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed.

------

***Uncertainty surrounding the Arrangement could adversely affect EMX's or Elemental Altus' retention of personnel and business relationships and could negatively impact future business and operations***

The Arrangement is dependent upon satisfaction of various conditions, and as a result its completion is subject to uncertainty. In response to this uncertainty, EMX's suppliers may delay or defer decisions concerning EMX. Any change, delay or deferral of those decisions by suppliers could negatively impact the business, operations and prospects of EMX, regardless of whether the Arrangement is ultimately completed, or of Elemental Altus if the Arrangement is completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees of EMX may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Elemental Altus until Elemental Altus' strategies with respect to such employees are determined and announced. This may adversely affect EMX's ability to attract or retain key employees in the period until the Arrangement is completed or thereafter.

***The pending Arrangement may divert the attention of EMX's and Elemental Altus' management***

The pendency of the Arrangement could cause the attention of EMX's and Elemental Altus' management to be diverted from the day-to-day operations and suppliers may seek to modify or terminate their business relationships with either party. These disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Arrangement and could have an adverse effect on the business, operating results or prospects of EMX and Elemental Altus regardless of whether the Arrangement is ultimately completed, or of Elemental Altus if the Arrangement is completed.

***Dissent Rights may result in payments that impair EMX's financial resources or result in Elemental Altus electing not to complete the Arrangement***

Registered Shareholders have the right to exercise certain Dissent Rights and demand payment of the fair value of their EMX Shares in cash in connection with the Arrangement in accordance with the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and any other order of the Court. If there are significant number of Dissenting Shareholders, a substantial cash payment may be required to be made to such Dissenting Shareholders that could have an adverse effect on EMX's financial condition and cash resources if the Arrangement is completed. Additionally, if holders of more than 5% of the EMX Shares elect to exercise their Dissent Rights, Elemental Altus may elect to not complete the Arrangement. See "*Part I* - *The Arrangement - Right to Dissent*".

***EMX directors and officers may have interests in the Arrangement different from the interests of Securityholders following completion of the Arrangement***

Certain of the directors and executive officers of EMX negotiated the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, and the Board (subject to abstentions) and the Special Committee have each unanimously recommended that Securityholders vote **FOR** the Arrangement. These directors and executive officers may have interests in the Arrangement that are different from, or in addition to, those of Securityholders generally. These interests include, but are not limited to, the continued employment of certain senior officers of EMX by Elemental Altus, the appointment of certain directors of EMX to the board of directors of the Combined Company, the acceleration of payments or vesting of equity-based awards and cash payments in connection with change of control provisions. Securityholders should be aware of these interests when they consider the Board's and the Special Committee's unanimous recommendations to the Securityholders. The Board and the Special Committee were aware of, and considered, these interests when it determined that the Arrangement Agreement was in the best interests of EMX and made its unanimous recommendation to the Securityholders. See "*Part I - The Arrangement - Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement*".

***Tax consequences of the Arrangement may differ from anticipated treatment, including that if the Arrangement does not qualify as a tax-deferred Reorganization, some Shareholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes***

There can be no assurance that the CRA, the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities will agree with the Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement, as applicable, as set forth in this Circular. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that applicable Canadian and U.S. income tax Laws, regulations or tax treaties will not change (legislatively, judicially or otherwise) or be interpreted in a manner, or that applicable taxing authorities will not take an administrative position, that is adverse to EMX, Elemental Altus or their respective shareholders following completion of the Arrangement. Taxation authorities may also disagree with how EMX or Elemental Altus, following the Arrangement, calculate or have in the past calculated their income or other amounts for tax purposes. Any such events could adversely affect Elemental Altus, its share price or the dividends that may be paid to the Elemental Altus Shareholders following completion of the Arrangement.

------

Although EMX and Elemental Altus intend that the Arrangement will qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-deferred Reorganization, it is possible that the IRS may assert that the Arrangement fails to qualify as such. If the IRS were to be successful in any such contention, or if for any other reason the Arrangement was to fail to qualify as a tax-deferred Reorganization, each U.S. Holder of EMX Shares would recognize a gain or loss with respect to all of such U.S. Holder's EMX Shares, as applicable, based on the difference between: (i) the fair market value of the Elemental Altus Shares received; and (ii) that U.S. Holder's tax basis in such U.S. Holder's EMX Shares. See "*Part V* - *Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations*".

***The issuance of a significant number of Elemental Altus Shares and a resulting "market overhang" could adversely effect the market price of the Elemental Altus Shares after completion of the Arrangement and Elemental Altus Financing***

On completion of the Arrangement, together with the Elemental Altus Financing, a significant number of additional Elemental Altus Shares will be issued and available for trading in the public market. The increase in the number of Elemental Altus Shares may lead to sales of such shares or the perception that such sales may occur (commonly referred to as "market overhang"), either of which may adversely affect the market for, and the market price of, the Elemental Altus Shares.

***EMX has not verified the reliability of the information regarding Elemental Altus included in, or which may have been omitted from this Circular***

Unless otherwise indicated, all historical information regarding Elemental Altus contained in this Circular, including all Elemental Altus financial information, has been derived from Elemental Altus' publicly disclosed information or provided by Elemental Altus. Although EMX has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of such information, any inaccuracy or material omission in Elemental Altus' publicly disclosed information, including the information about or relating to Elemental Altus contained in this Circular, could result in unanticipated liabilities or expenses, increase the cost of integrating the companies or adversely affect our operational and development plans and our results of operations and financial condition.

**Risk Factors Related to the Operations of the Combined Company**

***There are risks related to the integration of EMX's and Elemental Altus' existing businesses***

The ability to realize the benefits of the Arrangement will depend in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as on Elemental Altus' ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities, capital funding opportunities and operating synergies from integrating EMX's and Elemental Altus' businesses following completion of the Arrangement. Many operational and strategic decisions and certain staffing decisions with respect to the Combined Company have not yet been made. These decisions and the integration will require the dedication of substantial management effort, time and resources which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities of the Combined Company, and from operational matters during this process. The integration process may result in the loss of key employees and the disruption of ongoing business, customer and employee relationships that may adversely affect the ability of Elemental Altus, following completion of the Arrangement, to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.

The consummation of the Arrangement may pose special risks, including one-time write-offs, restructuring charges and unanticipated costs. Although EMX, Elemental Altus and their respective advisors have conducted due diligence on the various operations, there can be no guarantee that the Combined Company will be aware of any and all liabilities of EMX or the Arrangement. As a result of these factors, it is possible that certain benefits expected from the combination of EMX and Elemental Altus may not be realized. Any inability of management to successfully integrate the operations could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company.

------

***The relative trading price of the EMX Shares and Elemental Altus Shares prior to the Effective Time and the trading price of the Elemental Altus Shares following the Effective Time may be volatile***

The relative trading price of the EMX Shares have been and may continue to be subject to and, following completion of the Arrangement, the Elemental Altus Shares may be subject to, material fluctuations and may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including:

* changes in the market price of commodities;

* current events affecting the economic situation in Canada, U.S. and internationally;

* trends in the global mining and royalty and streaming industries;

* regulatory and/or government actions, rulings or policies;

* changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts or rating agencies;

* acquisitions and financings;

* the economics of current and future projects and operations of EMX and Elemental Altus;

* quarterly variations in operating results;

* the operating and share price performance of other companies, including those that investors may deem comparable;

* the issuance of additional equity securities by EMX or Elemental Altus, as applicable, or the perception that such issuance may occur; and

* purchases or sales of blocks of EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares as applicable.

***Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition of the Combined Company***

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this Circular are presented for illustrative purposes only to show the effect of the Arrangement, and should not be considered to be an indication of the financial condition or results of operations of the Combined Company following completion of the Arrangement. For example, the pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of EMX and Elemental Altus and do not represent a financial forecast or projection. In addition, the pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this Circular is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the Arrangement. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Combined Company's results of operations or financial condition following completion of the Arrangement. Accordingly, the historical and pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this Circular do not necessarily represent Elemental Altus' results of operations and financial condition had EMX and Elemental Altus operated as a combined entity during the periods presented, or of the Combined Company's results of operations and financial condition following the Arrangement.

In preparing the pro forma condensed combined financial statements contained in this Circular, Elemental Altus has given effect to, among other items, the completion of the Arrangement and the issuance of the Consideration Shares. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect all of the costs that are expected to be incurred Elemental Altus in connection with the Arrangement. For example, the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating Elemental Altus and EMX is not reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. See also the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in Appendix M "*Unaudited pro forma Financial Information*" attached to this Circular.

------

***Mineral reserve and mineral resource figures pertaining to EMX's and Elemental Altus' royalty and stream interests are only estimates and are subject to revision based on developing information***

Information pertaining to the mineral reserves and mineral resources of EMX and Elemental Altus' royalty and stream interests presented in this Circular, or incorporated by reference herein, are estimates and no assurances can be given as to their accuracy. Such estimates are, in large part, based on interpretations of geological data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques. Actual mineralization or formations may be different from those predicted. Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are materially dependent on the prevailing price of minerals and the cost of recovering and processing minerals at the individual mine sites. Market fluctuations in the price of minerals or increases in recovery costs, as well as various short-term operating factors, may cause a mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period.

The estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources attributable to any specific royal or stream interest of EMX or Elemental Altus are based on accepted engineering and evaluation principles. The estimated amount of contained minerals in proven mineral reserves and probable mineral reserves does not necessarily represent an estimate of a fair market value of the evaluated properties.

***Following completion of the Arrangement, the Combined Company may issue additional equity securities or incur additional debt***

Following completion of the Arrangement, the Combined Company may issue equity securities or incur additional debt to finance its activities, including in order to finance acquisitions and to sustain its increased capital requirements. If the Combined Company were to issue equity securities, a holder of Elemental Altus Shares may experience dilution in the Combined Company's cash flow or earnings per share. Moreover, as the Combined Company's intention to issue additional equity securities becomes publicly known, the Combined Company's price may be materially adversely affected. If the Combined Company were to incur additional debt, the Combined Company may be required to make significant interest and principal payments.

***Failure by Elemental Altus and/or EMX to comply with applicable Laws prior to the Arrangement could subject the Combined Company to penalties and other adverse consequences following completion of the Arrangement***

Elemental Altus is subject to various Canadian, U.S., and other foreign anti-corruption Laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the *Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act* (Canada) and the *United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act*. EMX is similarly subject to various Canadian, U.S., and other foreign anti-corruption Laws and regulations such as the *Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act* (Canada) and the *United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act*. The foregoing Laws prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, such Laws require the maintenance of records relating to transactions and an adequate system of internal controls over accounting. There can be no assurance that either Party's internal control policies and procedures, compliance mechanisms or monitoring programs will protect it from recklessness, fraudulent behavior, dishonesty or other inappropriate acts or adequately prevent or detect possible violations under applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption legislation. Any failure by Elemental Altus or EMX to comply with anti-bribery and anti-corruption legislation could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and may subject Elemental Altus to other liabilities, including fines, prosecution, potential debarment from public procurement and reputational damage, all of which could have an adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of Elemental Altus following completion of the Arrangement. Investigations by governmental authorities could have an adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of the Combined Company following completion of the Arrangement.

Elemental Altus and EMX are also subject to a wide variety of Laws relating to the environment, health and safety, taxes, employment, labour standards, money laundering, terrorist financing and other matters in the jurisdictions in which they hold royalty and stream interests. A failure by either of Elemental Altus or EMX to comply with any such legislation prior to the Arrangement could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and may subject Elemental Altus and EMX to other liabilities, including fines, prosecution and reputational damage, all of which could have an adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of the Combined Company following completion of the Arrangement. The compliance mechanisms and monitoring programs adopted and implemented by either of Elemental Altus or EMX prior to the Arrangement may not adequately prevent or detect possible violations of such applicable Laws. Investigations by governmental authorities could also have an adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of the Combined Company following completion of the Arrangement.

------

***The Combined Company may be subject to tax in various jurisdictions***

The Combined Company will have operations in various provinces, states and countries and be subject to differing tax laws and rates. Taxation authorities may disagree with how Elemental Altus and EMX calculate or have in the past calculated their income or other amounts for tax purposes. The tax treatment of the Combined Company is subject to changes in tax laws, regulations and treaties, or the interpretation thereof. Any such events or changes could adversely affect the Combined Company or its share price following completion of the Arrangement.

***The Combined Company will have a significant shareholder, and dispositions of common shares of the Combined Company by the significant shareholder could have an adverse effect on the market price of the common shares of the Combined Company. In addition, the significant shareholder may influence the Combined Company through its shareholdings.***

Following completion of the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Financing, Tether will own approximately 26.4% of the common shares of the Combined Company. In addition, Tether holds an option to acquire (but not the obligation to acquire) an additional 3,444,458 Elemental Altus Shares from an existing Elemental Altus Shareholder. If such option is exercised, following completion of the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Financing, Tether will own approximately 31.8% of the Combined Company. If Tether were to sell a substantial number of common shares of the Combined Company in the public market, the market price of the common shares could fall. Further, as long as Tether maintains its ownership interest in the Combined Company, it may be able to exert influence over matters that are to be determined by votes of the holders of common shares of the Combined Company. There is a risk that the interests of Tether differ from those of other shareholders of the Combined Company.

**PART IV - CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Tax Act relating to the exchange of EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement generally applicable to an EMX Shareholder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) deals at arm's length with EMX, Acquireco, Amalco and Elemental Altus, (ii) is not affiliated with EMX, Acquireco, Amalco or Elemental Altus, and (iii) holds all EMX Shares, and will hold all Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement, as capital property (a "**Holder**"). EMX Shares and Elemental Altus Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to a Holder unless the Holder holds or uses, or is deemed to hold or use the shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or acquired the shares in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act as of the date hereof and the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act which have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) in writing prior to the date hereof (the "**Proposed Amendments**"), and assumes all such Proposed Amendments will be enacted in their present form, although no assurances can be given in this regard. Except for the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in Law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative action or decision, or changes in the administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed herein.

In addition, this summary is not applicable to a Holder (a) that is a "financial institution" for purposes of the "mark-to-market property" rules in the Tax Act; (b) that is a "specified financial institution" (as defined in the Tax Act); (c) an interest in which is, or whose EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares are, a "tax shelter investment" (as defined in the Tax Act); (d) that has made a "functional currency" reporting election under the Tax Act to report its "Canadian tax results" (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than Canadian currency; (e) that has or will enter into a "derivative forward agreement" or "synthetic disposition arrangement" (each as defined in the Tax Act) with respect to the EMX Shares or the Elemental Altus Shares; (f) that is a "foreign affiliate", as defined in the Tax Act, of a taxpayer resident in Canada; (g) that receives dividends on the EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares under or as part of a "dividend rental arrangement" (as defined in the Tax Act); or (h) that is exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act. This summary does not address the tax considerations applicable to holders of EMX Convertible Securities and EMX DSUs. Such holders should consult their own legal and tax advisors.

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada and is, or becomes, or does not deal at arm's length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the Arrangement, controlled by a non-resident person, or group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm's length, for the purposes of the "foreign affiliate dumping" rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

**THIS SUMMARY IS OF A GENERAL NATURE ONLY AND IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE OF ALL POSSIBLE RELEVANT CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS. THIS SUMMARY IS NOT, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER AND NO REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER ARE MADE. ACCORDINGLY, HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARRANGEMENT HAVING REGARD TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.**

***Holders Resident in Canada***

The following portion of this summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act or any applicable tax treaty (a "**Resident Holder**").

Certain Resident Holders whose EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to make an irrevocable election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have such shares and every other "Canadian security" (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year of the election, and in all subsequent taxation years, deemed to be capital property. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding whether such an election is available and advisable in their particular circumstances.

------

*Exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares*

A Resident Holder who receives Elemental Altus Shares in exchange for EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will not realize a capital gain or capital loss as a result of the Amalgamation. Such Resident Holder will be deemed to have disposed of such EMX Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the Resident Holder's adjusted cost base of such shares immediately before the Arrangement and to have acquired the Elemental Altus Shares at a cost equal to the Resident Holder's deemed proceeds of disposition of their EMX Shares.

The adjusted cost base of all Elemental Altus Shares owned by the Resident Holder immediately after the exchange will be determined by averaging the cost of the Elemental Altus Shares acquired on the exchange with the adjusted cost base of any other Elemental Altus Shares, if any, held by the Resident Holder as capital property.

*Dividends on Elemental Altus Shares*

A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any taxable dividends received or deemed to be received on Elemental Altus Shares during such taxation year.

In the case of a Resident Holder that is an individual (including certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to "taxable dividends" received from a "taxable Canadian corporation" (each as defined in the Tax Act). Taxable dividends received from a taxable Canadian corporation which are designated by such corporation as "eligible dividends" will be subject to an enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit regime in accordance with the rules in the Tax Act. There may be limitations on the ability of Elemental Altus to designate dividends as eligible dividends.

In the case of a Resident Holder that is a corporation, the amount of any such taxable dividends that are included in its income for a taxation year will generally be deductible in computing its taxable income for that taxation year. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat a taxable dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances.

A Resident Holder that is a "private corporation" or a "subject corporation", each as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable to pay a tax under Part IV of the Tax Act (which may be refundable, subject to the detailed rules in the Tax Act) on dividends received or deemed to be received on Elemental Altus Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder's taxable income for the taxation year.

*Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares*

A Resident Holder that disposes or is deemed to dispose of Elemental Altus Shares will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the holder of the Elemental Altus Share immediately before the disposition. The taxation of capital gains and capital losses is described immediately below under the heading "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders Resident in Canada - Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses*".

*Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses*

Generally, and subject to and in accordance with the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a "**taxable capital gain**") realized by it in that year and is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an "**allowable capital loss**") realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for a taxation year may be carried back to any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward to any subsequent taxation year and deducted against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, subject to the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss realized on the disposition of a share by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may, to the extent and under the circumstances specified by the Tax Act, be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to have been received by such Resident Holder on such share (or on a share for which such a share is substituted or exchanged). Similar rules may apply where a Resident Holder that is a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns any such shares, directly or indirectly, through a partnership or trust. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

------

*Additional Refundable Tax*

A Resident Holder (including a Resident Dissenting Holder) that is throughout the relevant taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) or at any time in the taxation year a "substantive CCPC" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on certain investment income, including amounts in respect of taxable capital gains, interest and certain dividends. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

*Alternative Minimum Tax*

Capital gains realized and dividends received or deemed to be received, by a Resident Holder (including a Resident Dissenting Holder) that is an individual or a trust, other than certain specified trusts, may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of alternative minimum tax.

*Dissenting Resident Holders*

A Resident Holder who validly exercises their dissent rights (a "**Resident Dissenting Holder**") will be entitled to be paid the fair value of the EMX Shares by Amalco on or after the Effective Time in accordance with the Dissent Rights, and will receive a cash payment from Amalco in respect of the fair value of the Resident Dissenting Holder's EMX Shares. Such a Resident Dissenting Holder will be considered to have disposed of the EMX Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount received by the Resident Dissenting Holder (less any interest awarded by a court). Based on our understanding of CRA's administrative policy, such Resident Dissenting Holder should realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition received, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Dissenting Holder of the EMX Shares. See also above under the heading "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders Resident in Canada - Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses*"*.*

Interest, if any, awarded to a Resident Dissenting Holder by a Court will be included in the Resident Dissenting Holder's income for the purposes of the Tax Act.

**Resident Holders who wish to exercise Dissent Rights should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences applicable to their particular circumstances**.

*Eligibility for Investment*

The Elemental Altus Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement would, if issued on the date hereof, be "qualified investments" under the Tax Act for trusts governed by registered disability savings plans, registered education savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered retirement savings plans, tax-free savings accounts, and first home savings accounts (collectively "**Registered Plans**") or a deferred profit sharing plan ("**DPSP**"), each as defined under the Tax Act, provided that, at all that time, the Elemental Altus Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" as defined for purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX-V and each U.S. Exchange).

Notwithstanding that Elemental Altus Shares may be a "qualified investment" for a trust governed by a Registered Plan, the holder, annuitant or subscriber of a Registered Plan, as the case may be (a "**Controlling Individual**"), will be subject to a penalty tax if such shares are a "prohibited investment" (as defined in the Tax Act) for the Registered Plan. Elemental Altus Shares will generally not be a "prohibited investment" for a Registered Plan provided that the Controlling Individual deals at arm's length with Elemental Altus for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a "significant interest" (as defined in the Tax Act for the purposes of the prohibited investment rules) in Elemental Altus. In addition, Elemental Altus Shares will not be a "prohibited investment" if the Elemental Altus Shares are "excluded property" for a trust governed by a Registered Plan within the meaning of the Tax Act.

------

Resident Holders that intend to hold Elemental Altus Shares in a Registered Plan or a DPSP should consult their own tax advisors in regard to their particular circumstances.

**Holders Not Resident in Canada**

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who for the purposes of the Tax Act or any applicable tax treaty and at all relevant times, (i) is not and is not deemed to be a resident in Canada and (ii) does not and will not use or hold, and is not and will not be deemed to use or hold, EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a "**Non-Resident Holder**"). Special rules not discussed in this summary may apply to a non-resident insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an "authorized foreign bank" as defined in the Tax Act. Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

*Exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares*

The tax consequences discussed above under the heading "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders Resident in Canada - Exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares"* will generally be applicable to Non-Resident Holders who exchange EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. In addition, if a Non-Resident Holder holds EMX Shares as "taxable Canadian property" for purposes of the Tax Act (see also discussion below under the heading "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders Not Resident in Canada - Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares*"), the Elemental Altus Shares received in consideration will be deemed to be "taxable Canadian property" of the Non-Resident Holder at any time that is within sixty (60) months after the Effective Time.

*Dividends on Elemental Altus Shares*

Dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on Elemental Altus Shares to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to withholding tax under the Tax Act at a rate of 25% on the gross amount of such dividend, unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or convention. Under the *Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980)*, as amended (the "**U.S. Treaty**"), the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder who is resident in the U.S. for purposes of the U.S. Treaty, is the beneficial owner of the dividends, and is fully entitled to benefits under the U.S. Treaty (a "**U.S. Treaty Holder**") is generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The rate of withholding tax is further reduced to 5% in the case of a U.S. Treaty Holder that is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of Elemental Altus. The *Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting* (the "**MLI**") of which Canada is a signatory, affects many of Canada's bilateral tax treaties (but not the U.S. Treaty), including the ability to claim benefits thereunder.

*Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares*

A Non-Resident Holder who disposes of their Elemental Altus Shares will generally not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on the disposition nor will capital losses arising therefrom be recognized under the Tax Act, unless the Elemental Altus Shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the Non-Resident Holder and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention, including as a result of the application of the MLI.

Generally, Elemental Altus Shares will not be "taxable Canadian property" of a Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition provided that such shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" (as defined in the Tax Act, which currently includes the TSX-V and each U.S. Exchange) unless, at any time during the 60-month period preceding the disposition: (a) one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder does not deal at arm's length, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, held 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital stock of the issuer; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the share was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, "Canadian resource property" or "timber resource property" (both as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such properties (whether or not such property exists). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a share may also be deemed to be "taxable Canadian property" to a Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act in certain other circumstances.

Even if a share is taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder at a particular time, such Non-Resident Holder may be exempt from tax on any capital gain realized on the disposition of such share by virtue of an applicable income tax treaty or convention, including as a result of the application of the MLI to which Canada is a signatory.

------

In the event that the Elemental Altus Shares constitute taxable Canadian property (other than treaty-protected property) of a particular Non-Resident Holder, the tax consequences as described above under "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders Resident in Canada - Exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares*" and "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders Resident in Canada - Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses*" will generally apply.

Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.

*Dissenting Non-Resident Holders*

A Non-Resident Holder who validly exercises their dissent rights (a "**Non-Resident Dissenting Holder**") will be entitled to be paid the fair value of the EMX Shares by Amalco on or after the Effective Time in accordance with the Dissent Rights, and will receive a cash payment from Amalco in respect of the fair value of the Non-Resident Dissenting Holder's EMX Shares.

Based on our understanding of CRA's administrative policy, such a Non-Resident Dissenting Holder will be considered to have disposed of the EMX Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount received by the Non- Resident Dissenting Holder (less any interest awarded by a court) and will generally be treated in the manner as described above under "*Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders Not Resident in Canada - Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares*"*.* A Non-Resident Dissenting Holder will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax under the Tax Act on any amount of interest received.

**Non-Resident Holders who wish to exercise Dissent Rights should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences applicable to their particular circumstances.**

**PART V - CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from the exchange of EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement and to a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from the exchange of EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement. This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder in light of such holder's own personal circumstances. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder (as discussed below), including specific tax consequences to a holder under an applicable tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal net investment income, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax consequences to holders of the receipt of the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable income tax reporting requirements. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

This summary does not discuss the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to holders of EMX Convertible Securities with respect to such securities. Holders of EMX Convertible Securities should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement to them in light of their own personal circumstances.

No opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the IRS has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement or the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any particular person of the exchange of EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement, or the ownership and disposition of such Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. Each holder of EMX Shares should consult its own tax advisor regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of the exchange of EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. Further, this summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of transactions effected prior or subsequent to, or concurrently with, the Arrangement that, in each case, are not part of the Plan of Arrangement.

**Scope of This Disclosure**

***Authorities***

This summary is based on the U.S. Tax Code, proposed, final and temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations, published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the U.S. Treaty, and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this Circular. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a prospective or retroactive basis which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

------

***U.S. Holders***

For purposes of this summary, the term "**U.S. Holder**" means a beneficial owner of EMX Shares (or, after the Arrangement, Elemental Altus Shares) participating in the Arrangement or exercising Dissent Rights (with respect only to EMX Shares) pursuant to the Arrangement, that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation created or organized in or under the Laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

***Non-U.S. Holders***

For purposes of this discussion, a "**Non-U.S. Holder**" is any beneficial owner of EMX Shares that is neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

***Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed***

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement or the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement to holders of EMX Shares that are subject to special provisions under the U.S. Tax Code, including holders that: (a) are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar; (e) own EMX Shares (or after the Arrangement, Elemental Altus Shares) as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction; (f) acquired EMX Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) hold EMX Shares (or after the Arrangement, Elemental Altus Shares) other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); (h) except as explicitly provided below, own, directly, indirectly, or by attribution, 5% or more, by voting power or value, of the outstanding EMX Shares (or after the Arrangement, Elemental Altus Shares); (i) are subject to special tax accounting rules in respect of the Elemental Altus Shares; (j) are controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies or shareholders of such corporations; (k) are corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; (l) are Non-U.S. Holders which are corporations organized outside the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia that are nonetheless treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (m) are U.S. Holders that are subject to taxing jurisdictions other than, or in addition to, the United States or that hold EMX Shares (or after the Arrangement, Elemental Altus Shares) in connection with a trade or business, permanent establishment, or fixed base outside the United States; (n) are former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; (o) are partnerships and other pass-through entities or S corporations and owners of such entities; or (p) acquired EMX Shares by gift or inheritance. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the U.S. Tax Code, including those holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisors regarding all U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S., tax consequences relating to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (including any other "pass-through" entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds EMX Shares (or after the Arrangement, Elemental Altus Shares), the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners (or owners) of such partnership of participating in the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners (or owners). This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such partnership or partner (or owner). Partners (or owners) of entities and arrangements that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S., tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

**Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders**

***Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders***

<u>Tax Consequences if the Arrangement Qualifies as a Reorganization</u>

The exchange of EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement is intended to be treated as a tax-deferred "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a "**Reorganization**"). There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the qualification of the Arrangement as a Reorganization or that, if challenged, a U.S. court would not agree with the IRS. In addition, no opinion of counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement has been obtained and none will be requested. Accordingly, there is a risk that the exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will not be treated as made pursuant to a Reorganization.

If the exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares pursuant to the Arrangement is treated as made pursuant to a Reorganization, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, the exchange will have the following U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders:

* a U.S. Holder will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares;

* the aggregate tax basis of Elemental Altus Shares received by a U.S. Holder in the Arrangement will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of EMX Shares surrendered in exchange therefor; and

* the holding period of Elemental Altus Shares received by a U.S. Holder will include the holding period of the EMX Shares surrendered.

U.S. Holders that own, directly, indirectly, or by attribution, 5% or more, by voting power or value, of the outstanding Elemental Altus Shares after the exchange of their EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be required to enter into a "gain recognition agreement" within the meaning of Section 1.367(a)-8 of the U.S. Treasury Regulations in order to benefit from Reorganization treatment. If such a U.S. Holder does not enter into a "gain recognition agreement", the exchange of shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be a taxable transaction with respect to such U.S. Holder, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described immediately below, except that no loss will be recognized if the exchange of EMX Shares for the Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement is otherwise treated as made pursuant to a Reorganization.

A U.S. Holder who acquired different blocks of EMX Shares with different holding periods and tax bases must generally apply the foregoing rules separately to each identifiable block of EMX Shares. Any such holder should consult its own tax advisor with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular Elemental Altus Shares received in the Arrangement.

<u>Tax Consequences if the Arrangement Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization</u>

If the exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares pursuant to the Arrangement is not treated as made pursuant to a Reorganization, or is otherwise taxable to a U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the amount realized in the exchange and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the EMX Shares exchanged. The amount realized will be the fair market value of the Elemental Altus Shares received (determined as of the time of the exchange). A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in Elemental Altus Shares received in the exchange would be equal to their fair market value as of the date of the exchange, and the U.S. Holder's holding period for Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement would commence on the day following the exchange.

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, any gain or loss generally would be capital gain or loss, which would be long-term capital gain or loss if such EMX Shares are held for more than one year. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

------

<u>Application of the PFIC Rules to the Arrangement</u>

Gain on the disposition of stock in a corporation treated as a "passive foreign investment company" under Section 1297 of the Code (a "**PFIC**") with respect to a U.S. Holder is subject to special adverse U.S. federal income tax rules unless such U.S. Holder has timely made certain elections, as discussed more fully below (together with the rules governing the determination of whether a non-U.S. corporation qualifies as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder) under "*Part V - Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Relevant to the Ownership and Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares After the Arrangement - PFIC Rules*".

U.S. investors in EMX Shares should be aware that based on current business plans and financial expectations, EMX currently expects that it will be classified as a PFIC under United States tax laws for the financial year ending as at December 31, 2024 and expects to be a PFIC in future tax years. If EMX is a PFIC for any tax year during a U.S. Holder's ownership of EMX Shares, then such U.S. Holder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of EMX Shares, or any so-called "excess distribution" received on its EMX Shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distributions, unless the U.S. Holder makes a timely and effective "qualified electing fund" election ("**QEF Election**") or a "mark-to-market" election with respect to the EMX Shares. Although EMX believes that it was a PFIC in prior tax years and expects to be classified as a PFIC during its current taxable year, this determination cannot be made until the end of the current taxable year. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the IRS would agree with this determination.

Section 1291(f) of the Code provides that, to the extent provided in U.S. Treasury Regulations, any gain on the transfer of stock in a PFIC shall be recognized notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final U.S. Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date. If such proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations are finalized in their current form or if the IRS successfully asserts that Section 1291(f) of the U.S. Tax Code is self-executing notwithstanding the absence of final or temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations, then if EMX is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder, a U.S. Holder of EMX Shares may recognize gain in connection with the Arrangement if: (i) such U.S. Holder did not make a timely QEF Election or mark-to-market election (each as discussed below under "*Part V - Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Relevant to the Ownership and Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares After the Arrangement - PFIC Rules*") for EMX's first taxable year as a PFIC in which such U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) EMX Shares, or a QEF Election along with an applicable purging election, and (ii) Elemental Altus is not a PFIC in the taxable year that includes the day after the closing date of the Arrangement. As discussed further below, Elemental Altus has informed EMX that Elemental Altus has not made a formal determination as to its PFIC status for its most recently completed tax year and, accordingly, it is possible that Elemental Altus will be a PFIC for its current tax year. However, no assurance can be provided regarding Elemental Altus' PFIC status for its current tax year.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences that would arise if EMX were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in a U.S. Holder's holding period for its EMX Shares, including how such classification would impact the tax consequences of the Arrangement.

<u>Dissenting Shareholders</u>

A U.S. Holder who exercises Dissent Rights and, as a result, receives cash in exchange for such holder's EMX Shares generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar amount of the cash received by such U.S. Holder and such U.S. Holder's tax basis in the EMX Shares exchanged therefor. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under "*Part V - Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Relevant to the Ownership and Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares After the Arrangement - PFIC Rules*", which would apply if EMX were treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder, any gain or loss generally would be capital gain or loss, which would be long-term capital gain or loss if such EMX Shares are held for more than one year. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the U.S. Tax Code.

------

***U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Relevant to the Ownership and Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares After the Arrangement***

The following discussion is subject in its entirety to the rules described below under the heading "*Part V - Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Relevant to the Ownership and Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares After the Arrangement - PFIC Rules*".

<u>Distributions on Elemental Altus Shares</u>

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to an Elemental Altus Share will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of Elemental Altus' current or accumulated "earnings and profits", as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated "earnings and profits" of Elemental Altus, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Elemental Altus Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Elemental Altus Shares (see "*Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares*" below). However, Elemental Altus may not maintain the calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should expect that a distribution by Elemental Altus with respect to the Elemental Altus Shares will be treated as ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on Elemental Altus Shares generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received deduction" allowed to corporate U.S. Holders in respect of dividends received from U.S. domestic corporations. Subject to applicable limitations and provided Elemental Altus is eligible for the benefits of the U.S. Treaty or the Elemental Altus Shares are readily tradable on a United States securities market, dividends paid by Elemental Altus to non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends, provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that Elemental Altus not be classified as a PFIC (as defined above) in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

<u>Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Elemental Altus Shares</u>

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Elemental Altus Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder's tax basis in such Elemental Altus Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Gain or loss recognized on such sale or other disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the Elemental Altus Shares have been held for more than one year.

Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the U.S. Tax Code.

<u>PFIC Rules</u>

If Elemental Altus were to constitute a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder's holding period, then certain generally adverse rules would affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares. Elemental Altus has informed EMX that Elemental Altus has not made a formal determination as to its PFIC status for its most recently completed tax year and accordingly, it is possible that Elemental Altus will be a PFIC for its current tax year. However, the classification of the Elemental Altus under the PFIC rules will depend, in part, on whether certain of its income qualifies for the exception for active business gains arising from the sale of commodities for purposes of the PFIC asset and income tests. The determination of whether any corporation is a PFIC for a particular taxable year also depends on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations and uncertainty. There is limited authority regarding the application of the active business gains exception and other relevant PFIC rules to entities such as Elemental Altus and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided regarding Elemental Altus's PFIC status for its current tax year or any future tax year, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the views of Elemental Altus concerning its PFIC status.

------

In addition, in any year in which Elemental Altus is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as U.S. Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. In addition to penalties, a failure to satisfy such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621 annually.

Elemental Altus will be a PFIC if, for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of Elemental Altus for such tax year is passive income (the "income test") or (b) 50% or more of the value of Elemental Altus' assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the "asset test"), based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets. "Gross income" generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and "passive income" generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions. Generally, cash is treated as a passive asset for this purpose. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if Elemental Altus owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, Elemental Altus will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation.

Under certain attribution rules, if Elemental Altus is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate share of any subsidiary of Elemental Altus which is also a PFIC (a "**Subsidiary PFIC**"), and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on (i) a distribution on the shares of a Subsidiary PFIC or (ii) a disposition of shares of a Subsidiary PFIC, both as if the holder directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC.

If Elemental Altus were a PFIC in any tax year and a U.S. Holder held Elemental Altus Shares, such holder generally would be subject to special rules under Section 1291 of the Code with respect to "excess distributions" made by Elemental Altus on the Elemental Altus Shares and with respect to gain from the disposition of Elemental Altus Shares. An "excess distribution" generally is defined as the excess of distributions with respect to the Elemental Altus Shares received by a U.S. Holder in any tax year over 125% of the average annual distributions such U.S. Holder has received from Elemental Altus during the shorter of the three preceding tax years, or such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Elemental Altus Shares, as applicable. Generally, a U.S. Holder would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the Elemental Altus Shares ratably over its holding period for the Elemental Altus Shares. Such amounts allocated to the year of the disposition or excess distribution would be taxed as ordinary income, and amounts allocated to prior tax years would be taxed as ordinary income at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year and an interest charge at a rate applicable to underpayments of tax would apply.

U.S. Holders should be aware that, for each tax year, if any, that Elemental Altus is a PFIC, Elemental Altus can provide no assurances that it will satisfy the record keeping requirements of a PFIC, or that it will make available to U.S. Holders the information such U.S. Holders require to make a qualified electing fund election (a "**QEF Election**") under Section 1295 of the Code with respect to Elemental Altus or any Subsidiary PFIC.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may make an election to mark marketable shares in a PFIC to market on an annual basis. PFIC shares generally are marketable if: (i) they are "regularly traded" on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC or on the national market system established under Section 11A of the U.S. Exchange Act; or (ii) they are "regularly traded" on any exchange or market that the U.S. Treasury Department determines to have rules sufficient to ensure that the market price accurately represents the fair market value of the stock. It is expected that the Elemental Altus Shares, which are expected to be listed on the TSX-V and a U.S. Exchange, will qualify as marketable shares for the PFIC rules purposes, but there can be no assurance that Elemental Altus Shares will be "regularly traded" for purposes of these rules. Pursuant to such a mark-to-market election, a U.S. Holder would include in each year as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such stock over its adjusted basis at the end of the taxable year. A U.S. Holder may treat as ordinary loss any excess of the adjusted basis of the stock over its fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election in prior years. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the PFIC shares will be increased to reflect any amounts included in income, and decreased to reflect any amounts deducted, as a result of a mark-to-market election. Any gain recognized on a disposition of Elemental Altus Shares will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of a mark-to-market election). A mark-to-market election applies for the taxable year in which the election was made and for each subsequent taxable year unless the PFIC shares ceased to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. U.S. Holders should also be aware that the U.S. Tax Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations do not allow a mark-to-market election with respect to stock of a Subsidiary PFIC that does not constitute marketable stock.

------

Certain additional adverse rules may apply with respect to a U.S. Holder if Elemental Altus is a PFIC, regardless of whether the U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election or mark-to-market election. These rules include special rules that apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution from a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to the ownership and disposition of Elemental Altus Shares, and the availability of certain U.S. tax elections under the PFIC rules.

***Additional Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders***

<u>Foreign Tax Credits</u>

Dividends paid on the Elemental Altus Shares, if any, will generally be treated as foreign-source income that is treated as "passive category income" or "general category income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Any gain or loss recognized on a sale or other disposition of the EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement or on the sale or other taxable disposition of the Elemental Altus Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement generally will be United States source gain or loss. Certain U.S. Holders that are eligible for the benefits of the U.S. Treaty may elect to treat such gain or loss as Canadian source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. The U.S. Tax Code applies various complex limitations on the amount of foreign taxes that may be claimed as a credit by U.S. taxpayers. In addition, U.S. Treasury Regulations that apply to taxes paid or accrued (the "**Foreign Tax Credit Regulations**") impose additional requirements for Canadian withholding taxes to be eligible for a foreign tax credit, and there can be no assurance that those requirements will be satisfied. The U.S. Treasury Department has released guidance temporarily pausing the application of certain of the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations.

Subject to the PFIC rules and the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations, each as discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays, whether directly or through withholding, Canadian income tax, with respect to any dividends paid on the Elemental Altus Shares or in connection with a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (or after the Arrangement, Elemental Altus Shares) generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder's income that is subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year. The foreign tax credit rules are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on a U.S. Holder's particular circumstances. Accordingly, each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

<u>Receipt of Foreign Currency</u>

The amount of any distribution or proceeds paid in Canadian dollars to a U.S. Holder in connection with the ownership of EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of EMX Shares or Elemental Altus Shares, or any Canadian dollars received in connection with the Arrangement (including, but not limited to, by U.S. Holders exercising Dissent Rights under the Arrangement), will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as translated into U.S. dollars calculated by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on the date of actual or constructive receipt of the distribution or proceeds, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the Canadian dollars received are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method of tax accounting. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in Canadian dollars and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of Canadian dollars.

<u>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding</u>

A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding for U.S. federal income tax purposes on cash received in connection with the Arrangement. The current backup withholding rate is 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who (i) furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies the U.S. Holder is not subject to backup withholding on IRS Form W-9 or a substantially similar form or (ii) certifies the U.S. Holder is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption. If a U.S. Holder does not provide a correct taxpayer identification number on IRS Form W-9 or other proper certification, the U.S. Holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In the event of backup withholding, U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine if they are entitled to any tax credit, tax refund or other tax benefit as a result of such backup withholding.

------

A U.S. Holder that receives Elemental Altus Shares in the Arrangement that is considered a "significant holder," will be required (1) to file a statement with its U.S. federal income tax return providing certain facts pertinent to the Arrangement, including its tax basis in, and the fair market value of, the EMX Shares that such U.S. Holder surrendered, and (2) to retain permanent records of these facts relating to the Arrangement. A "significant holder" is a holder that, immediately before the Arrangement, (a) owned at least 5% (by vote or value) of the outstanding stock of EMX, or (b) owned securities of EMX with a tax basis of $1 million or more.

**Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement to Non-U.S. Holders**

<u>Tax Consequences of the Arrangement</u>

If the exchange of EMX Shares for Elemental Altus Shares pursuant to the Arrangement is not treated as made pursuant to a tax-deferred Reorganization, a Non-U.S. Holder should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the Arrangement unless:

* the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if an applicable tax treaty so requires, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder); or

* the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met.

Gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates and any gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder will be determined under the same rules as those applicable to a U.S. Holder. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate). Gain described in the second bullet point above generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding possible eligibility for benefits under income tax treaties and the availability of U.S. source capital losses to offset gain described in the second bullet point. 

<u>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding</u>

The payment of the Consideration in exchange for EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement generally will be subject to information reporting if made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries. Information returns are required to be filed with the IRS and copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which a holder resides or is incorporated under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement.

A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding for U.S. federal income tax purposes on cash received in connection with the Arrangement if the Non-U.S. Holder fails to provide certification of exempt status or a correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and otherwise comply with the applicable backup withholding requirements. The current backup withholding rate is 24%. Generally, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding if it provides a properly completed and executed appropriate IRS Form W-8. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided certain information is timely filed with the IRS.

Unlike other royalty companies, EMX has focused a significant portion of its expertise and capital toward organically generating royalties and believes putting people on the ground generating ideas and partnering with major and junior companies is where EMX can generate the highest return for Shareholders. This diversified approach towards the royalty business provides a foundation for supporting EMX's growth and increasing Shareholder value over the long term.

For further information regarding EMX, see Appendix I to this Circular, "*Information Concerning EMX*".

**Information Concerning Elemental Altus**

Elemental Altus was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 15, 2016 as Elemental Royalties Limited.

Pursuant to a merger of equals completed on August 16, 2022, Elemental Royalties Corp. acquired all of Altus Strategies plc's issued and outstanding share capital in exchange for common shares in the capital of Elemental Royalties Corp. On September 26, 2022, Elemental Royalties Corp. changed its name to Elemental Altus Royalties Corp.

Elemental Altus is a reporting issuer under the Canadian Securities Laws of each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Elemental Altus Shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol "ELE" and on the OTCQX market of the OTC Markets Group platform under the symbol "ELEMF".

Elemental Altus is focused on acquiring uncapped royalties and streams over producing, or near-producing, mines operated by established counterparties. Since Elemental Altus' first acquisition in 2017, it has acquired a diversified portfolio of royalties providing exposure primarily to gold and silver producing or development stage mines. Elemental Altus' management team has been able to identify and acquire revenue producing royalties and stream interests. Elemental Altus' objective is to become a leading precious metals royalty and streaming company and to maximize returns for its shareholders through the growth of its portfolio of royalty and other similar rights, both through organic growth and through acquisitions of royalties, streams and other rights that Elemental Altus' management expects to be accretive.

**Information Concerning the Combined Company**

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Elemental Altus will, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, own all of the outstanding EMX Shares, and Amalco will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental Altus. Following completion of the Arrangement and the Elemental Altus Financing, subject to certain assumptions including that no additional EMX Shares are issued prior to the Effective Time and that there are no Dissenting Shareholders, existing Elemental Altus Shareholders and former Shareholders of EMX (including former holders of EMX RSUs) will own approximately 51% and 49% of the issued and outstanding Elemental Altus Shares, respectively, in each case based on the number of securities of Elemental Altus and EMX issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, the Combined Company will continue the current operations of Elemental Altus and EMX under the new name "Elemental Royalty Corp." and will be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Following completion of the Arrangement, Elemental Altus will continue to be the publicly traded parent company of the combined business with the Elemental Altus Shares traded on each of the TSX-V and NASDAQ. Elemental Altus will continue to be a reporting issuer in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. It is expected that the head and registered office of the Combined Company will be Elemental Altus' current head and registered office located at Suite 1020 - 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2V6, Canada.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, the Combined Company's material mineral properties for the purposes of NI 43-101 will include the Karlawinda Mine, Caserones Mine and Timok Project.

**How to Vote**

***As a Registered Securityholder***

You are a Registered Securityholder if you hold EMX Shares and/or EMX Options in your name and you have a share certificate or DRS Advice, or option agreement or certificate, as applicable. Registered Securityholders will receive a form of proxy with this Circular and may vote as follows:

------

<u>*Option 1. Attend the Meeting and Vote During the Meeting*</u>

A Registered Securityholder, or a Non-Registered Shareholder who has appointed themselves or a third-party proxyholder to represent them at the Meeting, will appear on a list of Securityholders prepared by Computershare, the transfer agent and registrar for the Meeting. Registered Securityholders or proxyholders who attend the Meeting in person can present themselves to a representative of Computershare in advance of the commencement of the Meeting to have their identity confirmed and attendance registered.

Any Securityholder attending the live webcast will not be able to vote during the Meeting.

You are welcome to attend the Meeting even if you have already submitted your voting instructions online or in the form of proxy.

<u>*Option 2. Appoint a Proxyholder to Attend the Meeting and Vote on Your Behalf During the Meeting*</u>

Duly appointed proxyholders who attend the Meeting in person will be able to participate at the Meeting and vote traditionally. Any Securityholder attending the live webcast will not be able to vote during the Meeting.

A form of proxy can be submitted to Computershare via the internet at <u>www.investorvote.com</u>, or either in person, or by mail or courier, to 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6. The form of proxy must be deposited with Computershare by no later than 10:00 a.m. Vancouver time on October 31, 2025, or if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays, before the commencement of such adjourned or postponed Meeting.

All EMX Shares and/or EMX Options represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the Registered Securityholder on any ballot that may be called, and where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the instrument of proxy, the EMX Shares and/or EMX Options represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specifications. **In the absence of any such specifications,** the proxy designees, if named as proxy, will have the discretionary authority to vote for all the matters set out herein.

**The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the proxy designees, or other persons named as proxy, with respect to amendments to, or variations of, matters identified in the Notice of Special Meeting and any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, EMX is not aware of any amendments to, or variations of, or other matters which may come before the Meeting. In the event that other matters come before the Meeting, the proxy designees intend to vote in accordance with their judgment.**

<u>*Option 3. Vote by Proxy*</u>

A form of proxy can be submitted to Computershare via the internet at <u>www.investorvote.com</u>, or either in person, by mail or courier, to 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6. The form of proxy must be deposited with Computershare by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on October 31, 2025, or if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays) before the commencement of such adjourned or postponed Meeting.

***As a Non-Registered Shareholder***

You are a Non-Registered Shareholder if your EMX Shares are registered in the name of an Intermediary.

**The information set out in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold their EMX Shares in their own name.** Non-Registered Shareholders who hold their common shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their EMX Shares in their own name should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders who appear on the records maintained by EMX's registrar and transfer agent as registered holders of EMX Shares will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If EMX Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Non-Registered Shareholder by a broker, then those EMX Shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in the Shareholder's name. Such EMX Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such EMX Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). In the United States, the vast majority of such EMX Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., the registration name for DTC, which acts as nominee for many United States brokerage firms. EMX Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted or withheld at the direction of the Non-Registered Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting EMX Shares for the broker's clients. **Therefore, each Non-Registered Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting*.***

------

As a Non-Registered Shareholder, you may vote as follows:

<u>*Option 1. Giving Your Voting Instructions to Your Intermediary*</u>

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of securityholder meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Non-Registered Shareholders in order to ensure that their EMX Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of instrument of proxy supplied to a Non-Registered Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the instrument of proxy provided directly to Registered Shareholders by EMX. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder. The vast majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable VIF, mails those forms to Non-Registered Shareholders and asks Non-Registered Shareholders to return the VIFs to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Non-Registered Shareholder who receives a Broadridge VIF cannot use that form to vote EMX Shares directly at the Meeting. The VIFs must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of EMX Shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the EMX Shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of EMX Shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for assistance.

Non-Registered Shareholders fall into two categories - those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own ("**OBOs**") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities which they own ("**NOBOs**"). Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries directly or via their transfer agent and may obtain and use the NOBO list for the distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge) to such NOBOs.

EMX has distributed the meeting materials to intermediaries for distribution to NOBOs. Unless you have waived your right to receive the meeting materials, intermediaries are required to deliver them to you as a NOBO of EMX and to seek your instructions on how to vote your EMX Shares.

EMX's OBOs can expect to be contacted by Broadridge or their brokers or their broker's agents as set out above. EMX intends to pay for intermediaries to deliver the meeting materials to OBOs.

Although a Non-Registered Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting EMX Shares registered in the name of their broker, a Non-Registered Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder and vote the EMX Shares in that capacity. NI 54-101 allows a Non-Registered Shareholder who is a NOBO to submit to EMX or an applicable intermediary any document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxyholder. If such a request is received, EMX or an intermediary, as applicable, must arrange, without expenses to the NOBO, to appoint such NOBO or its nominee as a proxyholder and to deposit that proxy within the time specified in this Circular, provided that EMX or the intermediary receives such written instructions from the NOBO at least one Business Day prior to the time by which proxies are to be submitted at the Meeting, with the result that such a written request must be received by 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the day which is at least three Business Days prior to the Meeting. **A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to attend the Meeting and to vote their EMX Shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder, should enter their own name in the blank space on the VIF or such other document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxyholder and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.**

------

<u>*Option 2. Appoint a Proxyholder (including Yourself, as Non-Registered Shareholder) to Attend the Meeting and Vote on Your Behalf During the Meeting*</u>

Voting at the Meeting will only be available for Registered Securityholders and duly appointed proxyholders attending the Meeting in person. Non-Registered Shareholders who have not appointed themselves may access the Meeting via live webcast at <u>meetnow.global/M2JX4WC</u>. Any Securityholders attending the live webcast will not be able to vote during the Meeting.

Although a Non-Registered Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting EMX Shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, as a Non-Registered Shareholder, you may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder and vote the EMX Shares in that capacity.

Duly appointed proxyholders can vote at the appropriate times during the Meeting. Duly appointed proxyholders (including Non-Registered Shareholders who have duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) who attend the Meeting in person will be able to participate at the Meeting and vote traditionally.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder and wish to attend, participate in and vote at the Meeting, you have to insert your own name in the space provided on the VIF sent to you by your Intermediary and follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your Intermediary. By doing so, you are instructing your Intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your Intermediary. You have the right to appoint any person you want to be your proxyholder. It does not have to be a Shareholder or the person designated in the enclosed form(s).

For Non-Registered Shareholders located in the United States, to attend and vote at the Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary and then register in advance to attend the Meeting. Follow the instructions from your Intermediary included with these proxy materials, or contact your Intermediary to request a legal proxy form. After first obtaining a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary, to then register to attend the Meeting, you must submit a copy of your legal proxy to Computershare. Requests for registration should be directed to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6 or by email at <u>uslegalproxy@computershare.com</u>.

**Revocation of Proxies**

A Securityholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it as to any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast, pursuant to the authority conferred by the proxy.

A Registered Securityholder that has given a form of proxy may revoke it as to any matter on which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to its authority by the proxy may be revoked by: (a) signing a form of proxy with a later date and delivering it at the time and place noted in this Circular; (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation and delivering it to Computershare or by transmitting a revocation by telephonic or electronic means, to Computershare, at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of it, at which the proxy is to be used, or delivering a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or adjournment of it; or (c) attending the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting in person and registering with the scrutineer as a Securityholder present.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder who has voted by proxy through your Intermediary and would like to change or revoke your vote, contact your Intermediary to discuss whether this is possible and what procedures you need to follow. The change or revocation of voting instructions by a Non-Registered Shareholder can take several days or longer to complete and, accordingly, any such action should be completed well in advance of the deadline given in the proxy or VIF by the Intermediary or its service company to ensure it is effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the registered holders of such EMX Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall: (A) cease to be the registered holders of such EMX Shares and shall cease to have any rights as an EMX Shareholder (other than the right to be paid the fair value for such EMX Share as set out in Article 4 hereof); (B) be removed from the register of EMX Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of EMX in respect of the EMX Shares; and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so assign and transfer such EMX Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) EMX shall be deemed to be the transferee of such EMX Shares and shall be entered in the register of EMX Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of EMX in respect of the EMX Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) each EMX Share so assigned and transferred to EMX pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) each EMX RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action by or on behalf of an RSU Holder, immediately vested and exercised in exchange for one EMX Share (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4, and provided that no share certificates or DRS statements shall be issued with respect to such EMX Shares), and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX RSU Holder shall: (A) cease to be the holder of any EMX RSUs and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX RSUs (other than, for certainty, the right to receive the Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(xii)); (B) be removed from the register of RSU Holders maintained by or on behalf of EMX in respect of the EMX RSUs; and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX RSUs;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) EMX and Acquireco shall amalgamate to form one corporate entity, with the same effect as if they had amalgamated under Section 269 of the BCBCA except the separate legal existence of Acquireco will not cease and Acquireco will survive the amalgamation notwithstanding the issue by the Registrar of a certificate of amalgamation and the assignment of a new incorporation number (Acquireco, as such surviving entity, may be referred to herein as "Amalco"). The Amalgamation is intended to qualify as an amalgamation as defined in subsection 87(1) of the Tax Act. Upon the Amalgamation the following steps (i) through (xvi) shall, and shall be deemed to, occur concurrently:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) without limiting the generality of subsection 3.1(c) above, EMX and Acquireco shall amalgamate, the separate legal existence of EMX will cease without EMX being liquidated or wound-up, and EMX and Acquireco shall continue as Amalco, under the terms and conditions prescribed in this Plan of Arrangement, and their continuation as one company becomes irrevocable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Amalco shall become capable immediately of exercising the functions of an incorporated company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Amalco shall have the name of EMX;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the shareholder of Amalco shall have the powers and the liability provided in the BCBCA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the property, rights and interests of each of EMX and Acquireco shall continue to be the property, rights and interests of Amalco, and such amalgamation shall not constitute an assignment by operation of law, a transfer or any other disposition of the property, rights and interests of EMX or Acquireco to Amalco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) an existing cause of action, claim or liability to prosecution of either EMX or Acquireco shall be unaffected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Amalco shall continue to be liable for the obligations of EMX and Acquireco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) any legal proceedings being prosecuted or pending by or against EMX or Acquireco may be prosecuted, or their prosecution may be continued as the case may be, by or against Amalco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) a conviction against, or a ruling, order or judgment in favour of or against, either EMX or Acquireco may be enforced by or against Amalco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) the board of directors of Amalco shall be comprised of a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10 directors and the initial directors of Amalco will be such persons as determined by EMX and Acquireco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) the notice of articles and articles of Amalco shall be substantially identical to the notice of articles and articles of EMX immediately prior to the Amalgamation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) each EMX Share outstanding, including any EMX Shares issued pursuant to Section 3.1(b) (subject to Section 3.2 and Article 5), shall be cancelled in exchange for the Consideration and the registered holders of such EMX Shares immediately prior to such cancellation shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) cease to be the registered holders of such EMX Shares and shall cease to have any rights as an EMX Shareholder (other than the right to be paid the Consideration pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) be removed from the register of EMX Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of EMX in respect of the EMX Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so cancel such EMX Shares; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) subject to Article 6, be entered in the register of holders of Elemental Shares maintained by or on behalf of Elemental in respect of the Elemental Shares as the registered holder of such Elemental Shares so received pursuant to this Section 3.1(c)(xii);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) the amounts added to the capital of the Elemental Shares shall be amounts equal to the paid-up capital (as that term is used for purposes of the Tax Act) of the EMX Shares (other than the EMX Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders) immediately prior to the Effective Time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiv) Elemental shall receive one Amalco Share in exchange for each Acquireco Share held by it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xv) in consideration for Elemental's issuance of the Elemental Shares referenced in Section 3.1(c)(xii), Amalco shall issue to Elemental one Amalco Share for each Elemental Share issued by Elemental under Section 3.1(c)(xii); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xvi) the amounts added to the capital of the Amalco Shares shall be amounts equal to the paid-up capital (as that term is used for purposes of the Tax Act) of the Acquireco Shares and EMX Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) concurrently with (and no earlier than) the issuance of the Consideration in Section 3.1(c)(xii), Elemental shall, and shall be deemed to, issue such number of Elemental Shares to the Subscriber as is required pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement if the conditions set out therein have been satisfied or waived as of such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) notwithstanding the EMX Option Plan, each EMX Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX Option Holder, be exchanged for an EMX Replacement Option, each such EMX Replacement Option being exercisable to purchase from Elemental a number of Elemental Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of EMX Shares subject to the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per Elemental Share underlying an EMX Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (X) the exercise price per EMX Share underlying the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (Y) the Exchange Ratio (provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of EMX Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is intended that (i) the provisions of Subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of EMX Options for EMX Replacement Options pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) and (ii) such exchange of options be treated as other than the grant of a new stock right or a change in the form of payment pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of an EMX Replacement Option will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time such that the In-The-Money Value of the EMX Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Value of the EMX Option for which it was exchanged immediately before the exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1(e), each EMX Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the U.S. Tax Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of such EMX Option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the U.S. Tax Code. Except as provided in this Section 3.1(e), all terms and conditions of each EMX Replacement Option, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the EMX Option for which it was exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the EMX Option Plan and any document evidencing an EMX Option shall thereafter evidence, and be deemed to evidence, an EMX Replacement Option; and, upon the occurrence of the foregoing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX Option Holder shall: (A) cease to be the holder of any EMX Options and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX Options (and shall instead, for certainty, be a holder of the applicable number of EMX Replacement Options and have rights as a holder of EMX Replacement Options); (B) be removed from the register of EMX Option Holders maintained by or on behalf of Amalco in respect of the EMX Options (and be added to the register of EMX Replacement Options maintained by or on behalf of Amalco in respect of the EMX Replacement Options); and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX Options for EMX Replacement Options; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each EMX Option so exchanged pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) notwithstanding the EMX DSU Plan, each EMX DSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX DSU Holder, immediately vested, and shall be exchanged for the right to receive payment from Amalco of a cash amount equal to the Value per Settled DSU (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4), and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX DSU Holder shall: (A) cease to be a holder of any EMX DSUs and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX DSUs (except the right to receive a cash amount per EMX DSU equal to the Value per Settled DSU); (B) be removed from the register of EMX DSUs maintained by or on behalf of Amalco in respect of the EMX DSUs; and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX DSUs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each EMX DSU so exercised and exchanged pursuant to this Section 3.1(f) shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the EMX DSU Agreements shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect.

**3.2 No Fractional Shares**

No fractional Elemental Shares shall be issued to EMX Securityholders pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement or pursuant to the exercise of any securities issued to EMX Securityholders pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement. Where the aggregate number of Elemental Shares to be issued to an EMX Securityholder under the Arrangement or pursuant to such exercise would otherwise result in a fraction of an Elemental Share being issuable, the number of Elemental Shares to be issued to such EMX Securityholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Elemental Share, and such EMX Securityholder shall not be entitled to any payment or other compensation in respect of such fractional Elemental Share.

**3.3 Effect of Arrangement on EMX Warrants**

As a result of the completion of the steps set out in Section 3.1, from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the EMX Warrant Certificate, each holder of EMX Warrants shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of any such EMX Warrants, in lieu of the EMX Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, and for the same consideration otherwise payable therefor, the number of Elemental Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Date, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EMX Shares to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such EMX Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, no fractional Elemental Shares will be issued upon exercise of the EMX Warrants, nor shall any compensation be made for such fractional Elemental Shares, if any. To the extent that holder of EMX Warrants would otherwise be entitled to purchase a fraction of an Elemental Share, such right may be exercised in combination with other rights which, in the aggregate, entitle the holder of EMX Warrants to purchase a whole number of Elemental Shares.

**3.4 Post-Effective Time Procedures**

The events provided for in Section 3.1 shall be deemed to occur on the Effective Date, notwithstanding that certain procedures related thereto may not be completed until after the Effective Date.

------

**3.5 Adjustment of Consideration**

The Consideration, the Exchange Ratio, and any other dependent item set out in this Plan of Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement, shall be adjusted in the circumstances and in the manner described in Section 2.14 of the Arrangement Agreement, except as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the Parties.

**ARTICLE 4**<br>**DISSENT RIGHTS**

**4.1 Dissent Rights**

Each registered EMX Shareholder may exercise rights of dissent with respect to the EMX Shares held by such EMX Shareholder ("Dissent Rights") in connection with this Plan of Arrangement pursuant to and in strict compliance with the procedures set forth in sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Final Order and this Section 4.1, provided that notwithstanding section 242 of the BCBCA, the exercise of Dissent Rights and written notice of dissent of such registered EMX Shareholder to the Arrangement Resolution must be received by EMX from registered EMX Shareholders that wish to dissent not later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the Business Day that is two (2) Business Days before the EMX Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time). Each Dissenting Shareholder who validly exercises Dissent Rights in accordance with this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to have irrevocably assigned and transferred all EMX Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder, to EMX, as provided in Section 3.1(a), and if such Dissenting Shareholder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) is ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their EMX Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder shall: (i) be deemed not to have participated in the transactions in Article 3 (other than Section 3.1(a)); (ii) be entitled to be paid the fair value of such EMX Shares by Amalco in cash, less any applicable withholdings, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the BCBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Arrangement Resolution was adopted at the EMX Meeting; and (iii) will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment or consideration that would be payable under the Arrangement if such Dissenting Shareholder had not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such EMX Shares; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) is ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid the fair value for their EMX Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder shall be: (i) deemed to have participated in the Arrangement as of the Effective Time on the same basis as the other EMX Shareholders who did not exercise Dissent Rights; and (ii) entitled to receive only the Consideration, as contemplated by Section 3.1(b), that such Dissenting Shareholder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such Dissenting Shareholder had not exercised Dissent Rights.

**4.2 Recognition of Dissenting Holders**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In no case shall any Party, the Depositary or any other person be required to recognize any person purporting to exercise Dissent Rights unless such person: (i) is the registered holder of the EMX Shares in respect of which such Dissent Rights are purported to be exercised; and (ii) has exercised his, her or its Dissent Rights in strict compliance with the procedures set out in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as may be modified by the Interim Order, the Final Order and Section 4.1 hereof, and has neither withdrawn, nor been deemed to have withdrawn, such exercise of Dissent Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In no case shall any Party or any other person be required to recognize any Dissenting Shareholder as a registered or beneficial holder of EMX Shares or any interest therein (other than the rights set out in Section 4.1) at or after the Effective Time, and as of the Effective Time, the names of each Dissenting Shareholder shall be removed from the register of EMX Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of EMX in respect of the EMX Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In addition to any other restrictions under the Interim Order or the BCBCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) any holder of EMX Convertible Securities (in their capacity as holders of such securities); (ii) any EMX Shareholder who voted or instructed a proxyholder to vote such EMX Shareholder's EMX Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution; (iii) any person (including any beneficial owner of EMX Shares) who is not a registered holder of EMX Shares; and (iv) any person who has not strictly complied with the procedures for exercising Dissent Rights or who has withdrawn, or been deemed to have withdrawn, such person's exercise of Dissent Rights prior to the Effective Time.

**ARTICLE 5**<br>**DELIVERY OF CONSIDERATION**

**5.1 Delivery of Consideration**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Following receipt of the Final Order and in any event no later than the Business Day prior to the Effective Date, Elemental shall deliver or arrange to be delivered to the Depositary such number of Elemental Shares as are required to satisfy the aggregate Consideration payable to EMX Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, which Elemental Shares shall be held by the Depositary in escrow as agent and nominee for such EMX Shareholders for distribution to such EMX Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the later of the Effective Time and the surrender to the Depositary of a Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding EMX Shares that were cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1, together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the former EMX Shareholder surrendering such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary or Elemental shall deliver to such former EMX Shareholder or make available for pick up at its offices during normal business hours, a Certificate representing the Elemental Shares that such former EMX Shareholder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.4 and any Certificate representing such EMX Shares so surrendered shall forthwith thereafter be cancelled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) After the Effective Time and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more EMX Shares (other than EMX Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised and not withdrawn) shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the Consideration that the holder of such Certificate is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.4.

**5.2 Lost Certificates**

If any Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding EMX Shares that were cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the former EMX Shareholder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall pay and deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Consideration that such former EMX Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 in accordance with such former EMX Shareholder's Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such delivery of the Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the former EMX Shareholder to whom the Consideration is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of the Consideration, give a bond satisfactory to Elemental, Amalco and the Depositary in such amount as Elemental, Amalco and the Depositary may direct, or otherwise indemnify Elemental, Amalco and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to Elemental, Amalco and the Depositary, against any claim that may be made against Elemental, Amalco or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall otherwise take such actions as may be reasonably required by Elemental, Amalco and the Depositary.

No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Elemental Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding EMX Shares unless and until the holder of such Certificate shall have complied with the provisions of Section 5.1 or Section 5.2. Subject to applicable Law and to withholding required pursuant to Section 5.4, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of certificates representing Elemental Shares to which such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Elemental Shares and (ii) on the applicable payment date, the amount of any dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to the date of such compliance payable with respect to such Elemental Shares.

**5.4 Withholding Rights**

Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary and their respective agents, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or any other amount payable or otherwise deliverable to any EMX Securityholder or any other person under this Plan of Arrangement (including any payment to Dissenting Shareholders) such Taxes or other amounts as Elemental, Amalco the Depositary or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, may reasonably determine is required to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the U.S. Tax Code or any other applicable Law in respect of Taxes.

To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to an EMX Shareholder exceeds the Consideration payable to such EMX Shareholder pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement, subject to the prior approval of any of Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Elemental Shares payable to such EMX Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.1 as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with all applicable deduction or withholding requirements, and Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, shall: (a) remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale of such Elemental Shares (after deduction of all reasonable fees, commissions or costs in respect of such sale) to the appropriate Governmental Entity in satisfaction of such deduction or withholding requirement; and (b) if applicable, deliver to such EMX Shareholder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale of such Elemental Shares after making the remittance in (a). Any sale of Elemental Shares pursuant to this Section 5.4 will be made in accordance with applicable Laws and at prevailing market prices and none of Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, shall be under any obligation to obtain a particular price, or indemnify any former EMX Shareholder in respect of a particular price, for the Elemental Shares so sold. None of Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale or disposition of Elemental Shares under this Section 5.4.

**5.5 Extinction of Rights**

If (a) any former EMX Shareholder fails to deliver to the Depositary the Certificates, documents or instruments required to be delivered to the Depositary in accordance with Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 in order for such former EMX Shareholder to receive the Consideration which such former EMX Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1; or (b) any payment made by way of cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) by the Depositary or by EMX pursuant to the Arrangement has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or EMX or otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the date that is six (6) years after the Effective Date: (i) such former EMX Shareholder shall be deemed to have donated and forfeited to Elemental or its successors, all such Consideration held by the Depositary in trust for such former EMX Shareholder to which such former EMX Shareholder is entitled under this Plan of Arrangement, in each case, together with all entitlements to any dividends or distributions thereon; (ii) any payment made by way of cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) and any other right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Elemental and shall be paid over by the Depositary to Elemental or as directed by Elemental; (iii) any Certificate representing EMX Shares formerly held by such former EMX Shareholder shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature; (iv) the Elemental Shares which such former EMX Shareholder was entitled to receive shall be transferred to Elemental and cancelled without any repayment of capital in respect thereof, and any Certificates representing such Elemental Shares shall be delivered by the Depositary to Elemental for cancellation and the interest of such former EMX Shareholder in such Elemental Shares (and any dividends or distributions thereon) shall be terminated. None of Elemental, Amalco or any of their respective successors, shall be liable to any person in respect of any Consideration (including any Consideration previously held by the Depositary in trust for any such former EMX Shareholder) which is forfeited to Elemental or Amalco or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

------

**5.6 No Liens**

Any exchange, assignment or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement (including, for certainty, pursuant to Section 3.1) shall be free and clear of any and all Liens and other claims of third parties of any kind.

**5.7 Illegality of Delivery of Elemental Shares**

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan of Arrangement, if Elemental determines that it would be contrary to any applicable Law to issue or deliver the Elemental Shares pursuant to the Arrangement to any former EMX Shareholder that is not a resident in Canada or the United States: (a) the Elemental Shares that otherwise would be issued to such former EMX Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.1 may, at Elemental's direction, be delivered to the Depositary or another nominee appointed by Elemental (a "Sale Agent") acting as agent for such former EMX Shareholder; and (b) such Elemental Shares so delivered to the Depositary or the Sale Agent, as applicable, will be sold on behalf of such former EMX Shareholder as soon as practicable after the Effective Date in the normal course of trading on the TSXV and/or an applicable U.S. Exchange, on such dates and at such prices as the Depositary or the Sale Agent, as applicable, determines in its discretion as agent for such former EMX Shareholder. Each such former EMX Shareholder shall be entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the aggregate proceeds of the sale of Elemental Shares pursuant to this Section 5.7 (less any applicable brokerage fees, selling costs, charges, after withholding or deducting any applicable Taxes and subject to rounding to the nearest whole cent and any applicable foreign exchange conversion), which pro rata portion shall be determined based on the number of Elemental Shares that such former EMX Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 relative to the total number of Elemental Shares sold by the Depositary or Sale Agent, as applicable, at the relevant time. Any payment to a former EMX Shareholder pursuant to this Section 5.7 will be remitted to such person in the same manner as any other cash payments pursuant to this Article 5. None of Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary, the Sale Agent or any other person will be liable for any loss arising out of or in connection with any sales of Elemental Shares pursuant to this Section 5.7. For all tax purposes, such person shall be treated as receiving such Elemental Shares on the Effective Date and then selling such Elemental Shares on the TSXV and/or an applicable U.S. Exchange after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Elemental shall not take any action pursuant to this Section 5.7 if such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Parties' intention that the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code.

**5.8 Interest**

Under no circumstances shall interest accrue or be paid by Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary or any other person to former EMX Shareholders depositing Certificates pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement in respect of EMX Shares, regardless of any delay in making any payment or delivery of consideration contemplated hereunder.

(a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Elemental, "Acquireco") providing for, among other things, the acquisition (the "Proposed Transaction") by Elemental, indirectly through an amalgamation of the Company with Acquireco, of all of the outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Shares").

We further understand that, concurrently with the Proposed Transaction, Elemental will complete the previously-approved consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Elemental at a ratio of one (1) post-consolidation Elemental share for every ten (10) pre- consolidation Elemental shares (the "Consolidation").

We understand that Tether Investments S.A. de C.V.

We understand that pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement:

a) Elemental, indirectly through Acquireco, will acquire each of the issued and outstanding Shares in consideration for (a) 0.2822 common shares of Elemental per Share (the "Post- Consolidation Consideration"), if the Consolidation has been completed prior to the Effective Time or (b) 2.822 common shares of Elemental per Share (the "Pre-Consolidation Consideration"), if the Consolidation has not been completed prior to the Effective Time. For the purposes of this Opinion (as defined below), the: (i) "Effective Time" shall mean 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the date the Proposed Transaction becomes effective or such other time as the Company and Elemental may mutually agree in writing; and (ii) the "Consideration" shall mean either the Pre-Consolidation Consideration or the Post- Consolidation Consideration (as applicable);

b) the Proposed Transaction will be effected by way of a plan of arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement");

c) the completion of the Proposed Transaction will be conditional upon, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approval by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") who are present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of such securityholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approval by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by all Shareholders and optionholders of the Company (the "Optionholders", and together with the Shareholders, the "Securityholders") who are present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approval by a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the Shares held by persons required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - *Protection of Minority Security Holder in Special Transactions* ("MI 61-101")*;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approval of the Tether Concurrent Financing, among other things, by (a) at least a simple majority of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders of Elemental at a special meeting of shareholders of Elemental held to approve Tether as a "Control Person" of Elemental (as such term is defined in the Corporate Finance Manual of the TSX Venture Exchange) and (b) at least a simple majority of the votes cast at a special meeting of shareholders of Elemental, excluding the votes attached to Elemental shares held by Tether and any other persons required to be excluded pursuant to MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9; and

***Engagement of CIBC***

------

***Assumptions and Limitations***

Our Opinion is subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth below.

We have not been asked to prepare and have not prepared a formal valuation or appraisal of any of the assets or securities of the Company, Elemental or any of their respective affiliates and our Opinion should not be construed as such, nor have we been requested to identify, solicit, consider or develop any potential alternatives to the Proposed Transaction.

With your permission, we have relied upon, and have assumed the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all financial and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained by us from public sources, or provided to us by the Company, Elemental or any of their respective affiliates or advisors or otherwise obtained by us pursuant to our engagement, and our Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation. We have not been requested to or attempted to verify independently the accuracy, completeness or fairness of presentation of any such information, data, advice, opinions and representations. We have not met separately with the independent auditors of the Company or Elemental in connection with preparing this Opinion and with your permission, we have assumed the accuracy and fair presentation of, and relied upon, both the Company's and the Elemental's audited financial statements and the respective reports of the auditors thereon referred to above and both the Company's and the Elemental's interim unaudited financial statements referred to above.

With respect to the historical financial data, operating and financial forecasts and budgets provided to us concerning any of the Company and/or the Elemental (as applicable) and relied upon in our financial analyses, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the most reasonable assumptions, estimates and judgments of management of the Company and/or the Elemental (as applicable), having regard to the Company's and/or Elemental's (as applicable) business, plans, financial condition and prospects.

We have also assumed that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement are correct as of the date hereof and that the Proposed Transaction will be completed substantially in accordance with its terms and all applicable laws and that the Circular will disclose all material facts relating to the Proposed Transaction and will satisfy all applicable legal requirements.

The Company has represented to us, in a certificate of two senior officers of the Company dated the date hereof, among other things, that the information, data and other material (financial or otherwise) provided to us by or on behalf of the Company, including the written information and discussions concerning the Company referred to above under the heading "Scope of Review" (collectively, the "Information"), are complete and correct at the date the Information was provided to us and that, since the date on which the Information was provided to us, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its affiliates and no material change has occurred in the Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Opinion.

We are not legal, tax or accounting experts and we express no opinion concerning any legal, tax or accounting matters concerning the Proposed Transaction or the sufficiency of this letter for your purposes.

Our Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic and general business and financial conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company and Elemental as they are reflected in the Information and as they were represented to us in our discussions with management of the Company and the Company's advisors. In our analyses and in connection with the preparation of our Opinion, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, markets and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction.

------

The Opinion is being provided to the Board of Directors for its exclusive use only in considering the Proposed Transaction and may not be published, disclosed to any other person, relied upon by any other person, or used for any other purpose, without the prior written consent of CIBC, except for the inclusion of the Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof (in a form acceptable to us) in the Circular. Our Opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether they should approve the Arrangement nor as a recommendation to any Shareholder as to how to vote or act at the Special Meeting or as an opinion concerning the trading price or value of any securities of the Company or Elemental following the announcement or completion of the Proposed Transaction.

CIBC believes that its financial analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is complex and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description and any attempt to carry out such could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis.

The Opinion is given as of the date hereof and, although we reserve the right to change or withdraw the Opinion if we learn that any of the information that we relied upon in preparing the Opinion was inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect, we disclaim any obligation to change or withdraw the Opinion, to advise any person of any change that may come to our attention or to update the Opinion after the date of this Opinion.

Should this Opinion be executed in any other language, the English version of this Opinion shall be controlling in all respects and any other version is provided solely as a translation. In the event of any inconsistency between the versions, the English version of this Opinion shall prevail.

***Opinion***

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as we considered relevant, it is our opinion, as of the date hereof, that the Consideration to be received by Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Shareholders.

Yours very truly,

*(Signed) "CIBC World Markets Inc."*

**APPENDIX G**<br>**OPINION OF HAYWOOD SECURITIES INC.**

![](exhibit99-2x052.jpg)

September 4, 2025

**The Special Committee of the Board of Directors of EMX Royalty Corporation**

Suite 501 - 543 Granville Street

Vancouver, British Columbia

V6C 1X8

To the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of EMX Royalty Corporation (the "**Special Committee**"):

Haywood Securities Inc. ("**Haywood**") understands that EMX Royalty Corporation ("**EMX**" or the "**Corporation**" and which term shall, to the extent required or appropriate in the context, include the affiliates of the Corporation) proposes to enter into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "**Arrangement Agreement**") with Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. ("**Elemental**") and 1554829 B.C. Ltd. ("**Acquireco**"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental, dated September 4, 2025, pursuant to which Elemental has agreed to indirectly acquire, through an amalgamation of EMX with Acquireco, all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the "**Shares**"). Under the Arrangement Agreement, holders of Shares (the "**Shareholders**") will receive (a) 0.2822 common shares of Elemental for each Share held immediately prior to the effective time of the transaction (the "**Effective Time**") if the Consolidation (as hereinafter defined) is completed prior to the Effective Time; or (b) 2.822 common shares of Elemental for each Share held, if the Consolidation is not completed prior to the Effective Time (the "**Consideration**"). The proposed acquisition will be completed by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia) (the "**Transaction**" or "**Arrangement**"). In connection with the Transaction, Elemental will complete a previously-approved consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Elemental (the "**Elemental Shares**") at a ratio of one (1) post-consolidation Elemental Share for every 10 pre-consolidation Elemental Shares (the "**Consolidation**"). Concurrently with and in support of the Transaction, Tether Investments S.A. de C.V. ("**Tether**") and Elemental have additionally entered into a subscription agreement dated September 4, 2025 (the "**Tether Subscription Agreement**") pursuant to which, among other things, Tether has agreed to purchase approximately 75 million Elemental Shares (or approximately 7.5 million Elemental Shares post-Consolidation) at a price of C$1.838 (US$1.333) per Elemental Share (or C$18.38 (US$13.33) per Elemental Share post-Consolidation) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$100 million (the "**Tether Concurrent Financing**").

The above description of the Transaction is summary in nature. The specific terms of, and conditions necessary to complete, the Transaction are set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and will be described in the management information circular of the Corporation (the "**Circular**") to be mailed to the Shareholders and holders of stock options of the Corporation (together, "**Securityholders**") in connection with the special meeting of Securityholders to be held to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the Transaction. Haywood understands that certain officers, directors and Shareholders of the Corporation, who in aggregate hold approximately 23% of the outstanding Shares, have entered into voting support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their Shares in favour of approving the relevant resolutions to complete the Transaction.

***Engagement***

The Special Committee first contacted Haywood in respect of the Transaction on August 5, 2025. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated August 14, 2025, as amended on August 27, 2025 (the "**Advisory Agreement**"), the Special Committee retained Haywood to provide financial advice, and prepare and render an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders in connection with the Transaction (this "**Fairness Opinion**"). Haywood has not prepared a valuation of the Corporation, Elemental, or any of their respective securities or assets and this Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) engaged in discussions with members of the Special Committee, management of the Corporation, and its financial and legal advisors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) considered such other financial, market, technical and industry information, and conducted such other investigations, analyses and discussions as we considered relevant and appropriate in the circumstances.

Haywood has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by the Corporation to any information under its control requested by Haywood.

Haywood did not complete a detailed technical, environmental, social and governance, or political risk due diligence review, and has relied upon management of the Corporation for all such due diligence matters, without independent verification. No physical due diligence of any of the assets of the Corporation or Elemental, including the projects underlying their respective royalty assets, was undertaken by Haywood.

Haywood expresses no opinion as to the results of any future resource estimates, economic studies, production or cash flow results or forecasts, or other third-party analyses with respect to any of the assets held by the Corporation or Elemental, or the projects underlying the royalty assets held by the Corporation or Elemental, that may be released prior to or following completion of the Transaction, or the market reaction to such results. The technical due diligence investigations conducted by Haywood were limited in scope and relied heavily on the experience of management of the Corporation.

Haywood did not meet with the auditors of the Corporation and has assumed the accuracy, completeness and fair presentation of and has relied upon, without independent verification, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and the reports of the auditor thereon.

In our assessment, we considered several techniques and used a blended approach to determine our opinion on the Transaction. We based this Fairness Opinion upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors.

------

***Prior Valuations***

EMX has represented to Haywood that, among other things, it has no knowledge of any prior valuations (within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - *Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions* ("**MI 61-101**")) of the Corporation completed within the past 24 months.

***Assumptions and Limitations***

With the approval and agreement of the Special Committee and as provided for in the Advisory Agreement, and subject to the exercise of our professional judgment, we have relied upon and assumed, the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all financial information, business plans, financial analyses, forecasts and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations (collectively referred to as the "**Information**") obtained by us from public sources, or provided to us by the Corporation or Elemental, their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers, associates, affiliates, consultants, advisors and representatives relating to the Corporation, Elemental, their respective subsidiaries, associates and affiliates, and to the Transaction. This Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of the Information. We have not been requested to or, subject to the exercise of professional judgment, attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any such Information and assume no responsibility or liability in connection therewith. We have not conducted or been provided with any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor have we evaluated the solvency of the Corporation or Elemental under any provincial or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct any physical inspection of the properties or the facilities of the Corporation or Elemental, or any of their assets.

The Corporation has represented to us, in a certificate of two senior officers of the Corporation dated September 4, 2025, among other things, that the Information provided to us by or on behalf of the Corporation, including the written information and discussions concerning the Corporation referred to above under the heading *"Scope of Review and Approach to Analysis"*, was complete and correct as at the date such Information was provided to us and that, since the date on which the Information was provided to us, and except as publicly disclosed or as disclosed in writing to us, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Corporation or any of its affiliates and no material change has occurred in the Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on this Fairness Opinion.

With respect to any financial analyses, models, forecasts, projections, estimates and/or budgets provided to Haywood and used in its analyses, Haywood notes that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty. Haywood has assumed, however, that such financial analyses, models, forecasts, projections, estimates and/or budgets were prepared using the assumptions identified therein and that such assumptions reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments by management as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation or Elemental, as applicable. We express no view as to such financial analyses, models, forecasts, projections, estimates and/or budgets or the assumptions on which they were based.

In preparing this Fairness Opinion, we have made several assumptions, including that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement are correct as of the date hereof, all of the conditions required to complete the Transaction will be met, the Transaction will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and all applicable laws, and that the disclosure provided by the Corporation in respect of the Transaction will be accurate in all material respects. We have further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Corporation or Elemental or on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.

------

We have relied as to all legal matters relevant to rendering our opinion upon the advice of our own counsel. We are not legal, tax or accounting experts and we express no opinion concerning any legal, tax or accounting matters concerning the Transaction or the sufficiency of this Fairness Opinion for your purposes. Haywood did not, in considering the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders in connection with the Transaction, assess any income tax consequences that any particular Shareholder may face in connection with the Transaction.

This Fairness Opinion is rendered as at the date hereof and on the basis of securities markets, economic and general business and financial conditions prevailing and the Information as at the date hereof and the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Corporation and Elemental as they are reflected in the Information provided by the Corporation, Elemental, and/or any of their respective advisors, and as they were represented to us in our discussions with management of the Corporation and certain of their respective consultants, advisors and representatives. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this Fairness Opinion and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm this Fairness Opinion. We are expressing no opinion herein as to the price at which the Shares or Elemental Shares will trade at any future time. In our analyses and in connection with the preparation of this Fairness Opinion, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Haywood or any party involved in the Transaction.

We have not been asked to prepare and have not prepared a valuation of the Corporation or Elemental or any of the securities or assets thereof and this Fairness Opinion should not be construed as a "formal valuation" (within the meaning of MI 61-101), nor have we been furnished with any such valuations or appraisals in respect of the Corporation or Elemental.

This Fairness Opinion is provided for the use of the Special Committee only and may not be disclosed, referred or communicated to, or relied upon by, any third party without our prior written approval. Haywood consents to the inclusion of this Fairness Opinion, and references to this Fairness Opinion, in the Circular. Haywood disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Haywood after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion after the date hereof, Haywood reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Fairness Opinion.

This Fairness Opinion has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure standards for formal valuations and fairness opinions of CIRO, but CIRO has not been involved in the preparation or review of this Fairness Opinion.

***Fairness Considerations***

In our assessment of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by Shareholders in connection with the Transaction, we considered several techniques and used a blended approach to determine our opinion on the Arrangement. We based this Fairness Opinion upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors and upon a selection of methodologies deemed appropriate in the circumstances by Haywood.

In the context of this Fairness Opinion, we have performed certain financial analyses with respect to Elemental, the Corporation, and the Consideration, based on methodologies and assumptions that Haywood considered appropriate in the circumstances for the purposes of providing the Fairness Opinion. In the context of the Fairness Opinion, Haywood considered the following principal methodologies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) net asset value analysis, using both internal discounted cash flow models and analyst research estimates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) recent, historic, and comparable trading analysis over various time horizons;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) sector and peer comparable company analysis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) comparable precedent transaction analysis; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) various additional capital markets considerations and evaluations as we considered appropriate and applicable in the circumstances.

*(i) Net Asset Value Analysis*

Haywood performed a net asset value ("**NAV**") analysis of the Corporation and Elemental on the basis of management financial models and available equity research analyst estimates. In preparing its NAV analysis, Haywood considered financial analyses, models, forecasts, projections, estimates and/or budgets, including corporate overhead costs, prepared by management, and equity research analysts, as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation and Elemental, as well as various scenario analyses thereon where appropriate. Haywood further noted the relatively larger NAV contribution by Elemental of production-stage royalties to the pro forma combined company (the "**Combined Company**").

The NAV approach, utilizing management financial forecasts, considered each royalty based on its underlying mineral asset, corporate overhead costs, and financial assets and liabilities for the Corporation and Elemental, respectively. Valuations were determined net of obligations and liabilities associated with those assets, including any future payments, milestone payments, and/or royalty buy-back/buy-down rights. The value of each royalty asset was summed to produce a total asset value, from which the attributable corporate overhead costs and financial assets and liabilities were added or subtracted, as applicable.

For royalties where a financial forecast could be reasonably estimated by management of the Corporation and Elemental, respectively, Haywood calculated the net present value ("**NPV**") of the proportionate, unlevered, after- tax, free cash flows of each royalty at a discount rate consistent with industry standards and equity research analyst estimates. For royalties where a financial forecast could not be reasonably estimated, Haywood calculated a carrying value based on an industry-acceptable multiples approach, including book value. For financial assets and liabilities, Haywood relied on the estimated balance sheet items for the Corporation and Elemental, respectively, as at June 30, 2025. Using the NAV approach required that certain assumptions be made to derive the NPV of each royalty based on the underlying mineral asset including, among other things, commodity prices, mining operations, capital investment, working capital, and discount rates.

Haywood additionally reviewed available NAV projections based on the Corporation and Elemental's respective research analyst coverage, including available research reports from Canaccord Genuity Corp., H.C. Wainwright & Co, LLC, National Bank Financial Inc., and Raymond James Ltd.

*(ii) Recent, Historic, and Comparable Trading Analysis*

Haywood considered the recent performance and historical trading of the Shares and Elemental Shares relative to each other, their peers and relevant commodities in the context of the Transaction, and the premium to the Corporation implied by the Consideration in the context of short-term and long-term trading. As of the date hereof, the Consideration implies a 9.8% premium on a spot basis (based on closing prices on the TSX Venture Exchange), a 21.5% premium on a trailing 20-day volume weighted average price ("**VWAP**") basis, and a 25.0% premium on a trailing 30-day VWAP basis (including trading on all exchanges in Canada and the United States in the VWAP calculations). The Consideration exchange ratio is higher than the trailing 12-month average implied exchange ratio between the Corporation and Elemental, and also higher than the spot exchange ratio between the Corporation and Elemental over the trailing 36-month period. In addition, the offer price implied by the Consideration exchange ratio has exceeded the spot price of the Shares at all times over the past 36 months.

*(iii) Comparable Company Analysis*

Haywood compared public market trading statistics regarding the value of the Shares and the Consideration as compared to corresponding data for select publicly traded royalty companies that were considered relevant.

------

Haywood considered price to net asset value per share ("**P/NAV**") multiples, price to revenue ("**P/REV**") multiples, enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("**EV/EBITDA**") multiples, and price to cash flow ("**P/CF**") multiples to be relevant metrics for the Corporation in the context of our analysis. Haywood evaluated the Corporation and Elemental, as well as the Combined Company, in the context of comparable company multiples and peer averages based on P/NAV, P/REV, EV/EBITDA, and P/CF multiples. Among other considerations, Haywood applied a range of selected ratios to the corresponding implied offer price pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement to develop an implied value range and assess the Consideration being paid by Elemental to the Shareholders.

In addition, Haywood evaluated the capital markets implications for the scale of the Combined Company and its projected positioning within the current royalty sector landscape.

*(iv) Precedent Transactions Analysis*

Haywood reviewed previously completed comparable transactions of royalty companies within the precious and base metals sectors, as well as previously completed comparable mining precedent transactions in the context of implied valuations and offer considerations paid to the target company's shareholders. Financial data for the selected precedent transactions was derived from publicly available documents and information. Haywood compared a range of selected precedent premiums to the implied Consideration premium in order to assess the Consideration being paid by Elemental. As part of the precedent transactions analysis, Haywood also considered the relative go-forward share ownership, board composition, and management roles in the Combined Company.

*(v) Other Considerations*

In our assessment, we considered a number of other quantitative and qualitative factors in addition to the techniques described above, and applied a blended approach to determine our opinion, from a financial point of view, on the fairness of the Consideration to be received by Shareholders in connection with the Transaction.

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily capable of being partially analyzed or summarized. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. Haywood believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying the Fairness Opinion. The Fairness Opinion should be read in its entirety.

***Fairness Conclusion***

Based on and subject to the foregoing and such other factors as Haywood considered relevant, Haywood is of the opinion that, as of the Effective Date, the Consideration to be received by Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

Yours truly,

*(Signed) "Haywood Securities Inc."*

**Overview**

EMX was incorporated in Alberta on May 13, 1996 as Marchwell Capital Corp. and continued into British Columbia on September 21, 2004, at which time it became subject to the BCBCA.

On November 24, 2003, Marchwell underwent a reverse take-over by Southern European Exploration Ltd., which was incorporated in the Yukon Territory on August 21, 2001. On November 23, 2003, Marchwell changed its name to Eurasian Minerals Inc. On July 19, 2017, Eurasian changed its name to "EMX Royalty Corporation" to better reflect its business.

EMX is a reporting issuer under the Canadian Securities Laws of British Columbia and Alberta. The EMX Shares are listed on the TSX-V and NYSE American under the symbol "EMX", and also trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "6E9". EMX's corporate office is located at 905 - 815 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1B4, Canada, and its technical office is located at 10001 W. Titan Road, Littleton, Colorado 80125, United States of America. EMX's registered and records offices are located Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3E8.

EMX is a precious and base metals royalty company. EMX's investors are provided with discovery, development, and commodity price optionality, while limiting exposure to risks inherent to operating companies.

EMX has a combination of producing royalties, advanced royalty projects and early-stage exploration royalty properties providing Shareholders exposure to immediate cash flow, near-term development of mines, and long-term exposure to class leading discoveries. Unlike other royalty companies, EMX has focused a significant portion of its expertise and capital toward organically generating royalties and believes putting people on the ground generating ideas and partnering with major and junior companies is where EMX can generate the highest return for Shareholders. This diversified approach towards the royalty business provides a foundation for supporting EMX's growth and increasing Shareholder value over the long term.

**Description of Share Capital**

*EMX Shares*

As at the close of business on September 29, 2025, there were 108,964,292 EMX Shares issued and outstanding and no preferred shares issued and outstanding. All of the issued EMX Shares are fully paid and not subject to any future call or assessment.

Holders of EMX Shares are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at all meetings of shareholders of EMX. Each EMX Share carries one vote at such meetings.

EMX has not, since its incorporation, paid any dividends on any of the EMX Shares. EMX has no present intention to pay dividends, but the Board will determine any future dividend policy on the basis of earnings, financial requirements and other relevant factors. EMX is prohibited from paying any dividend which would render it insolvent.

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| <br> Shareholder | Prior to Closing | Prior to Closing | Immediately Following Closing | Immediately Following Closing |
| <br> Shareholder | Number of Elemental Altus Shares | Percentage of Outstanding Elemental Altus Shares | Number of Elemental Altus Shares | Percentage of Outstanding Elemental Altus Shares |
| Tether Investments S.A. de C.V. | 9278229<sup>(1)</sup> | 37.5%<sup>(</sup><sup>2)</sup> | 16780731<sup>(3)</sup> | 26.4%<sup>(3)</sup> |

Notes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) According to early warning reports filed by each of Tether and Alpha 1 SPV Limited ("**Alpha 1**"), pursuant to an option agreement between Tether and AlphaStream Limited dated June 10, 2025 (the "**Alpha Option Agreement**"), Alpha 1 granted Tether the option (the "**Alpha Option**") to acquire (but not the obligation to acquire) all of the 3,444,458 Elemental Altus Shares that Alpha 1 owns. According to the early warning reports filed by Tether, under the Alpha Option Agreement, Tether has the ability to direct Alpha 1 to vote or refrain from voting the Elemental Altus Shares subject to the Alpha Option Agreement, and to tender or refrain from tendering the Elemental Altus Shares subject to the Alpha Option Agreement in respect of tendering to take-over bids and other similar transactions, provided that doing so does not contravene the existing contractual arrangements between Alpha 1 and Elemental Altus. This figure assumes that the Alpha Option remains unexercised as at the date of this Circular.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The shareholding percentage is subject to change should the Alpha Option be exercised by Tether. This figure and percentage assumes concurrent closing of the Arrangement and Elemental Altus Financing as these transactions are conditional on each other. This figure assumes the Alpha Option remains unexercised at closing of the Arrangement and Elemental Altus Financing. Assuming exercise of the Alpha Option, these figures would be 20,225,189 Elemental Altus Shares (31.8%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) If a shareholder waives a right of dissent with respect to a particular corporate action and indicates in the waiver that the right to dissent is being waived on behalf of a specified person who beneficially owns shares registered in the name of the shareholder, the right of shareholders who are registered owners of shares beneficially owned by that specified person to dissent on behalf of that specified person with respect to the particular corporate action terminates and this Division ceases to apply to those shareholders in respect of the shares that are beneficially owned by that specified person.

**Notice of resolution**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) If a resolution in respect of which a shareholder is entitled to dissent was or is to be passed as a resolution of shareholders without the company complying with subsection (1) or (2), or was or is to be passed as a directors' resolution without the company complying with subsection (2), the company must, before or within 14 days after the passing of the resolution, send to each of its shareholders who has not, on behalf of every person who beneficially owns shares registered in the name of the shareholder, consented to the resolution or voted in favour of the resolution, whether or not their shares carry the right to vote,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Nothing in subsection (1), (2) or (3) gives a shareholder a right to vote in a meeting at which, or on a resolution on which, the shareholder would not otherwise be entitled to vote.

(a) promptly pay that amount to the dissenter, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(b) if subsection (5) of this section applies, promptly send a notice to the dissenter that the company is unable lawfully to pay dissenters for their shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) A dissenter who has not entered into an agreement with the company under subsection (1) or the company may apply to the court and the court may

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(a) determine the payout value of the notice shares of those dissenters who have not entered into an agreement with the company under subsection (1), or order that the payout value of those notice shares be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar, or a referee, of the court,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(b) join in the application each dissenter, other than a dissenter who has entered into an agreement with the company under subsection (1), who has complied with section 244 (1), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(c) make consequential orders and give directions it considers appropriate.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Promptly after a determination of the payout value for notice shares has been made under subsection (2) (a) of this section, the company must

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(a) pay to each dissenter who has complied with section 244 (1) in relation to those notice shares, other than a dissenter who has entered into an agreement with the company under subsection (1) of this section, the payout value applicable to that dissenter's notice shares, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(b) if subsection (5) applies, promptly send a notice to the dissenter that the company is unable lawfully to pay dissenters for their shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) If a dissenter receives a notice under subsection (1) (b) or (3) (b),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(a) the dissenter may, within 30 days after receipt, withdraw the dissenter's notice of dissent, in which case the company is deemed to consent to the withdrawal and this Division, other than section 247, ceases to apply to the dissenter with respect to the notice shares, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(b) if the dissenter does not withdraw the notice of dissent in accordance with paragraph (a) of this subsection, the dissenter retains a status as a claimant against the company, to be paid as soon as the company is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the company but in priority to its shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) A company must not make a payment to a dissenter under this section if there are reasonable grounds for believing that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(a) the company is insolvent, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(b) the payment would render the company insolvent.

**Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements<br>As at June 30, 2025<br>Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. Dollars ($000s), except per share amounts**

**1. Description of Proposed Acquisition**

On September 4, 2025, Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. ("Elemental") and EMX Royalty Corporation ("EMX") entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") whereby Elemental will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EMX (the "EMX Shares") pursuant to a court approved plan of arrangement (the "Transaction"). Concurrently with and in support of the Transaction, Tether Investments S.A. de C.V. ("Tether") and Elemental have entered into a subscription agreement dated September 4, 2025 pursuant to which Tether agreed to purchase 7,515,949 post-consolidation common shares of Elemental (each, an "Elemental Share") at a price of C$18.40 (or US$13.33[<sup>5</sup>](#_ftn5)) per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $100 million (the "Private Placement"). In connection with the Transaction, on September 16, 2025, Elemental completed a consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding Elemental Shares at a ratio of one (1) post consolidation Elemental Share for every ten (10) pre-consolidation Elemental Shares. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, shareholders of EMX will receive 0.2822 (the "Exchange Ratio") post-consolidation Elemental Shares for each EMX Share held. In accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, each EMX Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") will vest and be settled for an EMX Share at the close of the Transaction and will be exchanged for 0.2822 post-consolidation Elemental Shares, each EMX stock option will be replaced with a replacement option and each deferred share unit ("DSU") will vest and be exchanged for cash settlement payment from Elemental in the amount equal to the value per settled DSU. All replacement options will be adjusted as per the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and be exercisable into Elemental Shares. Each outstanding EMX warrant will be adjusted in accordance with its terms to be exercisable for Elemental Shares on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

Upon completion of the Transaction and the Tether concurrent financing, existing Elemental shareholders and former EMX shareholders will own approximately 51% and 49% of the outstanding common shares of the combined company on a basic basis.

**2. Basis of Presentation**

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared in connection with the Transaction and have been prepared from information derived from, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of EMX and Elemental, each prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board including, where applicable, IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, under International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, specifically:

1. the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, of EMX; and

2. the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, of Elemental.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include:

a) An unaudited pro forma interim consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2025, combining:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position of EMX as of June 30, 2025;

**2. Basis of Presentation** *(continued)*

This unaudited pro forma interim consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2025, assumes the Transaction occurred on June 30, 2025.

a) An unaudited pro forma interim consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, combining:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of income of EMX for the six months ended June 30, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of income and comprehensive income of Elemental for the six months ended June 30, 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the adjustments described in Note 5.

This pro forma interim consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, assumes the Transaction occurred on January 1, 2024.

a) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, combining:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The audited consolidated statement of loss of EMX for the year ended December 31, 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The audited consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss of Elemental for the year ended December 31, 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the adjustments described in Note 5.

This pro forma consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, assumes the Transaction occurred on January 1, 2024.

The Transaction is considered to be a business combination under International Financial Reporting Standard 3 - Business Combinations. The acquisition method of accounting was used to prepare these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements with Elemental identified as the acquirer. The method utilizes fair value and estimates and assumptions to measure the purchase price and the identifiable assets and liabilities of EMX. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only to show the effect of the Transaction. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect that Elemental acquired all of the outstanding EMX Shares and are not intended to be indicative of Elemental's financial position or the results that would actually have occurred, or the results expected in future periods, had the events reflected herein occurred on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon completion of the Transaction will likely differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and such differences could be material.

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to unaudited pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Transaction; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated financial results post-Transaction.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not reflect and do not give effect to: (i) any integration costs that may be incurred as a result of the Transaction; (ii) synergies, operating efficiencies and cost savings that may result from the Transaction; or (iii) or any other benefits expected to be derived from combining the companies. Further, the pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.

**Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. Dollars ($000s), except per share amounts**

**2. Basis of Presentation** *(continued)*

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements of EMX in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted by Elemental. All references to "$" herein are to United States dollars unless otherwise specified. All references to "C$" are to Canadian dollars.

**3. Material Accounting Policy Information**

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, are those set out in Elemental's consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, a preliminary review was undertaken to identify whether there are any accounting policy differences between the accounting policies used by EMX where the impact was potentially material to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and could be reasonably estimated. Based on this preliminary review and as of the date of this Circular, EMX has not identified any accounting policies applicable to similar transactions undertaken by Elemental that differ materially from those followed by Elemental that would have a significant impact on the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

**4. Consideration and Purchase Price Allocation**

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, the estimated purchase consideration for the Transaction is based on the closing price of Elemental shares on the TSX on September 4, 2025, of C$20.50 (on a post-consolidation basis assuming the consolidation had occurred as of September 4, 2025). At the Exchange Ratio (Note 1), the pro forma value per EMX Share is C$5.79. The value of the purchase consideration will change based on fluctuations in the trading price of the Elemental Shares and the number of EMX Shares outstanding on the closing of the Transaction, and could differ materially from the assumed closing price per Elemental Share used to estimate the purchase consideration for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma statements.

Other elements of the purchase consideration include EMX's stock options to be exchanged for replacement options exercisable for Elemental Shares and EMX warrants to be adjusted to be exercisable for Elemental Shares. The replacement options issued under the parameters noted above would have a weighted average exercise price of $10.22. The fair value of the replacement options was calculated using the black-scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.50%; expected life of 2.71 years; expected volatility of 41.25%; and expected dividend yield of 0%. The warrants adjusted to be exercisable for Elemental Shares under the parameters noted above have a weighted average exercise price of $15.77. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the black-scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free rate interest rate of 2.50%; expected life of 1.79 years; expected volatility of 38.75%; and expected dividend yield of 0%. Outstanding EMX RSUs, DSUs and loan payable will be settled in full upon closing of the Transaction.

**4. Consideration and Purchase Price Allocation** *(continued)*

As of the date of these unaudited pro forma statements, the value of the consideration to be paid by Elemental and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities to be acquired upon the completion of the Transaction will ultimately be determined based on the closing price of the Elemental Shares on the closing date of the Transaction, and could differ materially from the assumed closing price per Elemental Share used to estimate the purchase consideration for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma statements. Further, no effect has been given to any other new Elemental Shares or other equity awards that may be issued or granted subsequent to June 30, 2025, and before the closing date of the Transaction. As a result, the pro forma adjustments, which include the recognition of goodwill, are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma financial information.

The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation presented below.

**5. Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments**

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the following assumptions and adjustments noted below to give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on June 30, 2025, for the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position, and January 1, 2024, for the pro forma consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Management has not yet finalized the fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, or the complete impact of applying purchase accounting on the consolidated statements of the income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of closing may differ from these estimates.

a) a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $68,083, reflecting the proceeds of $100,000 received on closing of the Private Placement, offset by $6,432 in estimated due diligence and transaction costs expected to be paid by EMX prior to closing, the settlement of the EMX's loan payable to Franco Nevada Corporation of $25,000, and the settlement of deferred share units paid to former Directors of EMX of $485;

b) an increase of $5,451 in investments in associates reflecting a fair value adjustment to EMX's investment in SLM California;

c) an increase of $365,623 in royalty and other property interests, $114,086 in goodwill and $112,325 of deferred tax liabilities, as a result of fair value adjustments to EMX's royalty and other property interests acquired by Elemental. The goodwill recognized arises from the requirement to record deferred income tax liabilities measured at the tax effect of the difference between the fair value of the royalty and other property interests and their tax bases;

d) an increase of $1,505 in property and equipment as a result of a fair value adjustment to EMX's head office property in Denver;

e) a decrease of $453 in deferred charges reflecting a write off of deferred financing costs which related to a proposed shelf prospectus offering for EMX;

f) a net decrease of $292 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflecting the revaluation and settlement of EMX deferred share units;

g) a decrease of $1,028 in derivative liabilities reflecting the cancellation of EMX warrants originally issued in connection with a private placement;

h) a decrease of $24,622 in loans payable reflecting the settlement of EMX's credit facility with Franco-Nevada Corporation upon closing of the Transaction; and

i) a net increase to shareholders' equity of $467,912 reflecting the issuance of $464,112 of Elemental shares for the acquisition of EMX shares, the issuance of $100,000 via a concurrent private placement, the issuance of $5,173 of replacement warrants, and the issuance of $14,445 of replacement options, offset by the elimination of EMX's shareholders' equity of $116,049.

Ltd.

**This Letter of Transmittal must be validly completed, duly executed and returned to the depositary in relation to the Arrangement (as defined below), Computershare Investor Services Inc. It is important that you validly complete, duly execute and return this Letter of Transmittal on a timely basis in accordance with the instructions contained herein.**

**LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL**

**FOR COMMON SHARES** 

**OF**

**EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION**

**TO: EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION**

**AND TO: COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC. (the "Depositary")** 

**AND TO: ELEMENTAL ALTUS ROYALTIES CORP.** 

This Letter of Transmittal ("**Letter of Transmittal**") is for use by registered holders ("**Registered Shareholders**") of common shares ("**EMX Shares**") in the capital of EMX Royalty Corporation ("**EMX**") in connection with the proposed plan of arrangement (as it may have been or may subsequently be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "**Plan of Arrangement**") pursuant to the provisions of Division 5 of Part 9 of the *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia) (the "**Arrangement**") involving, among others, EMX, holders of EMX Shares ("**EMX Shareholders**"), Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. ("**Elemental Altus**") and 1554829 B.C. Ltd. ("**AcquireCo**").

Pursuant to the Arrangement, beginning at the effective time of the Arrangement (the "**Effective Time**"), in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, Elemental Altus, indirectly through an amalgamation of EMX with AcquireCo, will acquire all of the issued and outstanding EMX Shares in exchange for (other than Dissent Shares) newly-issued common shares of Elemental Altus (such shares referred to as the "**Consideration Shares**"). If the Arrangement is completed, Registered Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) who have properly completed, duly executed and delivered this Letter of Transmittal, the certificates and/or direct registration system ("**DRS Advice**") representing the EMX Shares and all other required documents to the Depositary will receive, in exchange for each of their EMX Shares, 0.2822 of a Consideration Share (the "**Consideration**"), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3.5 of the Plan of Arrangement, all as set forth in further detail in the management information circular of EMX dated September 29, 2025 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "**Information Circular**").

Copies of the Information Circular, the arrangement agreement dated September 4, 2025 among EMX, Elemental Altus and AcquireCo and the Plan of Arrangement (and any amendments thereto) may be accessed under EMX's profile on SEDAR+ at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u> and on EDGAR at<u> </u><u>http://www.sec.gov</u>. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter of Transmittal have the meanings set out in the Information Circular. You are encouraged to read the Information Circular in its entirety.

------

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. No Consideration Shares will be issued to EMX Shareholders prior to the Effective Time of the Arrangement, as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement which is appended to the Information Circular as Appendix D.

**Please note that the delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) representing your EMX Shares, as applicable, does not constitute a vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting. To exercise your right to vote at the Meeting, you must attend such Meeting in person or complete and return the form of proxy that accompanied the Information Circular by the proxy deadline set forth therein, in accordance with the instructions provided in the Information Circular.**

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by Registered Shareholders only and is not to be used by EMX Shareholders that do not hold their EMX Shares in their own name and whose EMX Shares are held through an Intermediary (as defined below) (the "**Non-Registered Shareholders**"). A Non-Registered Shareholder does not have EMX Shares registered in its name; rather, such EMX Shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, nominee or other intermediary (each, an "**Intermediary**") through which it purchased the shares or in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, you should contact your Intermediary for instructions and assistance in receiving the Consideration Shares for your EMX Shares.

Subject to applicable law and in compliance with Section 5.3 of the Plan of Arrangement, a holder of any certificate and/or DRS Advice formerly representing EMX Shares shall be entitled to, in addition to the Consideration, the amount of any dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the Consideration Shares, if any, without interest, in respect of such holder's Consideration. For greater certainty, no dividend or other distribution declared or paid after the Effective Time with respect to Consideration Shares shall be delivered to the holder of any certificate and/or DRS Advice formerly representing EMX Shares unless and until such holder has properly deposited the holder's EMX Shares with the Depositary in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Plan of Arrangement.

In no event shall any holder of EMX Shares be entitled to a fractional Consideration Share and no cash will be paid in lieu thereof. Where the aggregate number of Consideration Shares to be issued to a former EMX Shareholder as consideration under or as a result of this Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Consideration Share being issuable, the number of Consideration Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and no such former EMX Shareholder will be entitled to any compensation in respect of a fractional Consideration Share.

In order to receive the Consideration Shares that a Registered Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to the Arrangement, Registered Shareholders are required to deposit the certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) representing their EMX Shares with the Depositary. This Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with all other required documents, must accompany the certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) for EMX Shares deposited with the Depositary.

Each Registered Shareholder must complete Box D. To avoid potential backup withholding in the event of a change in currently applicable law or a change in currently known facts, each U.S. Shareholder (as defined below) which is a "U.S. person" (as defined in <u>Instruction 7</u> below) should complete and submit a United States Internal Revenue Service ("**IRS**") Form W-9. See <u>Instruction 7</u>. To avoid potential backup withholding in the event of a change in currently applicable law or a change in currently known facts, each Registered Shareholder who provides an address in Box A or Box B that is located within the United States or any territory or possession thereof and is not a "U.S. person" (as defined in <u>Instruction 7</u> below) should complete and submit the appropriate IRS Form W-8. See <u>Instruction 7</u>. Each U.S. Shareholder is urged to consult its own tax advisors to determine whether it is exempt from backup withholding tax requirements and to determine the proper form to be used to avoid potential backup withholding tax. A current IRS Form W-9 is included in this Letter of Transmittal; the applicable IRS Forms W-8 and accompanying instructions can be found on the IRS website at <u>https://www.irs.gov/forms-instructions</u>.

------

Whether or not the undersigned delivers the required documentation to the Depositary, as of the Effective Time, the undersigned will cease to be a holder of EMX Shares and, subject to the ultimate expiry deadline identified below and set out in the Plan of Arrangement, will only be entitled to receive the Consideration Shares to which the undersigned is entitled under the Arrangement.

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT DELIVER CERTIFICATES AND/OR A DRS ADVICE REPRESENTING THEIR EMX SHARES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE DEPOSITARY ON OR BEFORE THE DAY THAT IS SIX YEARS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE WILL LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO RECEIVE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR EMX SHARES AND ANY CLAIM OR INTEREST OF ANY KIND OR NATURE AGAINST ELEMENTAL ALTUS, ACQUIRECO, EMX OR THE DEPOSITARY.

Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal to an address other than as set forth on the last page of this Letter of Transmittal will not constitute a valid delivery. If EMX Shares are registered in different names, a separate Letter of Transmittal must be submitted for each different Registered Shareholder. See <u>Instruction 2</u>.

The undersigned hereby deposits with the Depositary the enclosed certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) representing EMX Shares, details of which are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

**(Please print or type in the space above. If space is insufficient, please attach a list to this Letter of Transmittal in the above form. See** <u>**Instruction 8**</u>**)**

It is understood that, if the Arrangement is completed, and this Letter of Transmittal has been duly completed and signed and received by the Depositary in accordance with the instructions herein, together with the certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) representing the EMX Shares deposited herewith (collectively, the "**Deposited EMX Shares**") and all other required documents, following the Effective Time of the Arrangement, the Depositary will deliver to the undersigned, in accordance with the issuance and delivery instructions provided in Box A and Box B below, a DRS Advice representing the Consideration Shares that the undersigned is entitled to receive under the Arrangement, or hold such DRS Advice representing the Consideration Shares for pick-up in accordance with the instructions set out in Box C below, and the certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) representing the Deposited EMX Shares will forthwith be cancelled. If neither Box A nor Box B is completed, a DRS Advice representing the Consideration Shares issued in exchange for the Deposited EMX Shares will be issued in the name of the registered holder of the Deposited EMX Shares and it will be mailed to the address of the registered holder of the Deposited EMX Shares as it appeared on the register of EMX.

**The undersigned Registered Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the terms, conditions and provisions of this Letter of Transmittal are subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan of Arrangement. To the extent there is any discrepancy between this Letter of Transmittal and the Plan of Arrangement, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan of Arrangement will prevail.**

The undersigned Registered Shareholder represents and warrants in favour of EMX and Elemental Altus that, as of the date hereof and as of the Effective Time: (i) the undersigned is the registered and legal owner of the Deposited EMX Shares, with good right and title to the rights represented by the Deposited EMX Shares and that such Deposited EMX Shares represent all of the EMX Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by the undersigned; (ii) such Deposited EMX Shares are owned by the undersigned free and clear of all mortgages, liens, charges, encumbrances, security interests and adverse claims; (iii) the undersigned has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal and to deposit, assign, transfer and deliver the Deposited EMX Shares and that, when the Consideration Shares are delivered, neither EMX, Elemental Altus, AcquireCo, or any affiliate thereof or successor thereto will be subject to any adverse claim in respect of such Deposited EMX Shares; (iv) the Deposited EMX Shares have not been sold, assigned or transferred, nor has any agreement been entered into to sell, assign or transfer any such Deposited EMX Shares, to any other person; (v) the transfer of the Deposited EMX Shares complies with all applicable laws; (vi) all information inserted by the undersigned into this Letter of Transmittal is complete, true and accurate; (vii) the delivery of the applicable number of Consideration Shares does not violate any laws applicable to the undersigned and will discharge any and all obligations of EMX, Elemental Altus, AcquireCo and the Depositary with respect to the matters contemplated by this Letter of Transmittal and the Arrangement; (viii) the undersigned has not filed a notice exercising Dissent Rights; and (ix) all information inserted into or accompanying this Letter of Transmittal by the undersigned is complete and accurate. These representations and warranties shall survive the completion of the Arrangement. The undersigned further acknowledges receipt of the Information Circular.

The undersigned hereby agrees to transfer, effective at the Effective Time and pursuant to the Arrangement, all right, title and interest in and to the Deposited EMX Shares and irrevocably appoints and constitutes each officer of Elemental Altus, AcquireCo and EMX and any other person designated by Elemental Altus, AcquireCo or EMX in writing, the lawful attorney of the undersigned, with full power of substitution (such powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, being irrevocable) to deliver the Deposited EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and to effect the transfer of the Deposited EMX Shares on the books of EMX to the extent and in the manner provided under the Arrangement.

The undersigned agrees that all questions as to validity, form, eligibility (including timely receipt) and acceptance of any EMX Shares transferred in connection with the Arrangement shall be determined by Elemental Altus in its sole discretion and that such determination shall be final and binding. Elemental Altus reserves the absolute right to reject any and all deposits which it determines not to be in proper form or which may be unlawful to accept under the laws of any jurisdiction. Elemental Altus further reserves the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities in the deposit of any EMX Shares. The undersigned acknowledges that there is no duty or obligation upon EMX, Elemental Altus, AcquireCo, the Depositary or any other person to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any such surrender of EMX Shares and no liability will be incurred by any of them for failure to give any such notice.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the delivery of the Deposited EMX Shares shall be effected and the risk of loss to such Deposited EMX Shares shall pass only upon proper receipt thereof by the Depositary.

------

The undersigned acknowledges that all authority conferred, or agreed to be conferred, by the undersigned herein may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity of the undersigned and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of the undersigned and all obligations of the undersigned herein shall be binding upon the heirs, personal or legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

The undersigned acknowledges that Elemental Altus, AcquireCo and/or EMX may be required to disclose personal information in respect of the undersigned and consents to disclosure of personal information in respect of the undersigned to (i) stock exchanges or securities regulatory authorities, (ii) the Depositary, (iii) any of the parties to the Arrangement, (iv) legal counsel to any of the parties to the Arrangement, and (v) as otherwise required by any applicable law.

The undersigned instructs the Depositary to mail the DRS Advice representing the Consideration Shares promptly after the Effective Time, by first-class insured mail, postage prepaid, to the undersigned, or to hold such DRS Advice representing the Consideration Shares for pick-up, in accordance with the instructions given in Box C below.

The undersigned acknowledges that if the Arrangement is completed, the delivery of Deposited EMX Shares pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal is irrevocable. If the Arrangement is not completed or proceeded with, the enclosed certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) and all other ancillary documents will be returned as soon as possible to the undersigned at the address set out below in Box A or Box B, as applicable, or, failing such address being specified, to the undersigned at the last address of the undersigned as it appears on the securities register of EMX.

It is understood that the undersigned will not receive the Consideration Shares in respect of the Deposited EMX Shares until following the Effective Time and after certificate(s) and/or DRS Advice(s) representing the Deposited EMX Shares owned by the undersigned are received by the Depositary at the address set forth on the back of this Letter of Transmittal, together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents as the Depositary may require, and until the same are processed by the Depositary. It is understood that under no circumstances will any interest accrue or be paid in respect of the Deposited EMX Shares in connection with the Arrangement.

The undersigned acknowledges that, as further detailed in the Information Circular, EMX, Elemental Altus, AcquireCo and the Depositary, as applicable, may deduct and withhold from any Consideration or other amounts otherwise payable or deliverable to any EMX Shareholder under the Arrangement (including, without limitation, any payments to any Registered Shareholder who has duly and validly executed Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement (and any dividends or other distributions thereon)), such amounts as EMX, Elemental Altus, AcquireCo or the Depositary, as applicable, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment or delivery under the *Income Tax Act* (Canada), including all regulations thereunder, the *United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986*, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of any applicable provincial, state, local, or foreign tax Law as counsel may advise is required to be so deducted and withheld by EMX, Elemental Altus, AcquireCo or the Depositary, as the case may be. To the extent that taxes or other amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld taxes or other amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made; provided that such deducted or withheld taxes or other amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate governmental entity. The undersigned acknowledges that there may be tax considerations applicable to it with respect to the Arrangement. The undersigned acknowledges that it has consulted or has had the opportunity to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the potential income tax consequences to it of the Arrangement.

The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Consideration Shares to be received by it pursuant to the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and are being issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable securities laws of the states of the United States. The issuance of the Consideration Shares shall be exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the U.S. state securities, or "blue sky" laws pursuant to applicable exemptions therefrom. Upon issuance, the Consideration Shares will be transferable without restriction under the Securities Act, except by persons who are "affiliates" (as such term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act) of Elemental Altus as of the time of such resale, or were "affiliates" of Elemental Altus within 90 days prior to such time. The determination of an "affiliate" is fact-specific; whether a person is an "affiliate" depends on the facts and circumstances. Persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of an issuer (including Elemental Altus) generally include individuals or entities that, directly or indirectly, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, such issuer, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as principal shareholders of the issuer. Any resale of such Consideration Shares by an "affiliate" (or former "affiliate") may be subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, absent an exemption therefrom, as more fully described in the Information Circular.

------

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of United States federal securities laws applicable to the Consideration Shares received upon completion of the Arrangement. All holders of such securities are urged to consult with counsel to ensure that any action taken with respect to their securities complies with applicable securities legislation, including any resale of such securities.

By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract in connection with the delivery of the EMX Shares pursuant to the Arrangement through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. *En raison de l'utilisation d'une lettre d'envoi en langue anglaise par le soussign'e, le soussign'e et les destinataires sont pr'esum'es avoir requis que tout contrat reli'e a ` l'envoi d'actions ordinaires de EMX en vertue de l'arrangement au moyen de la pr'esente lettre d'envoi, de mˆeme que tous les documents qui s'y rapportent, soient r'edig'es exclusivement en langue anglaise.*

This Letter of Transmittal will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

**INSTRUCTIONS**

**1. Use of Letter of Transmittal**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Registered Shareholders should review the accompanying Information Circular prior to completing this Letter of Transmittal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and signed, together with any accompanying certificates and/or DRS Advice representing the Deposited EMX Shares and all other required documents must be sent or delivered to the Depositary at the address set out on the back of this Letter of Transmittal. In order to receive the Consideration Shares, it is recommended that the foregoing documents be received by the Depositary at the address set out on the back of this Letter of Transmittal as soon as possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The method used to deliver this Letter of Transmittal and any accompanying certificates and/or DRS Advice representing EMX Shares and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Registered Shareholder and delivery will be deemed effective only when such documents are actually received by the Depositary. Elemental Altus, AcquireCo and EMX recommend that the necessary documentation be hand delivered to the Depositary at the address set out on the back of this Letter of Transmittal, and a receipt obtained; otherwise the use of registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Beneficial EMX Shareholders whose EMX Shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, nominee or other Intermediary should contact that Intermediary for assistance in depositing those EMX Shares. Delivery to an address other than to the specified address set forth herein does not constitute delivery for this purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Elemental Altus reserves the right, if it so elects, in its absolute discretion, to instruct the Depositary to waive any defect or irregularity contained in any Letter of Transmittal and/or accompanying documents received by it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the DRS Advice representing the Consideration Shares is to be issued in the name of a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal under Box G or if the DRS Advice representing the Consideration Shares is to be mailed to someone other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal under Box G or to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal under Box G at an address other than that which appears on the register of EMX, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed (Box A and Box B) and the signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed (see <u>Instruction 3</u>).

**2. Signatures**

This Letter of Transmittal must be completed and signed by the Registered Shareholder under Box G or by such Registered Shareholder's duly authorized representative (in accordance with <u>Instruction 4</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any of the Deposited EMX Shares are registered in different names on several certificates and/or DRS Advice(s), it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of such Deposited EMX Shares.

**3. Guarantee of Signatures**

No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Deposited EMX Shares surrendered herewith. Subject to <u>Instruction 4</u>, if this Letter of Transmittal is signed on behalf of a registered holder(s) of the Deposited EMX Shares by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Deposited EMX Shares or if the Consideration Shares is to be issued in a name other than that of the registered holder(s) of the Deposited EMX Shares, such signature must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (as defined below) in accordance with the instructions given in Box F, or in some other manner satisfactory to the Depositary (except that no guarantee is required if the signature is that of an Eligible Institution).

------

**6. Lost Certificates**

*Option #1:* If a EMX Share certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, this Letter of Transmittal should be completed as fully as possible and forwarded together with a letter describing the loss to the Depositary. The Depositary will respond with the replacement requirements.

*Option #2:* Alternatively, Shareholders who have lost, stolen, or destroyed their certificate(s) may participate in Computershare's blanket bond program with Aviva Insurance Company of Canada by completing Box E above, and submitting the applicable certified cheque or money order made payable to Computershare Investor Services Inc.

**7. U.S. Federal Income Tax and Backup Withholding**

The following does not constitute a summary of the tax consequences of the Arrangement, and EMX Shareholders should review the discussions in the Circular under the headings "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations", and consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Each U.S. Shareholder that is a "U.S. person" as defined below which is receiving consideration in connection with the Arrangement should provide the Depository with his, her, or its taxpayer identification number ("**TIN**") on the IRS Form W-9 which is provided above, and to certify whether such holder is subject to backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax. If the U.S. person does not provide the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such U.S. person may, in the event of a change in currently applicable law or a change in currently known facts, be subject to 24% backup withholding with respect to any Consideration Shares due to such holder in connection with the Arrangement. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by the holder from the IRS, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. The Depository cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of backup withholding. Failure to provide a correct TIN may result in additional fines. More serious penalties may be imposed for providing false information which, if willfully done, may result in fines and/or imprisonment.

For purposes of this Letter of Transmittal, you are a "U.S. person" if you are (a) an individual citizen or resident alien of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (b) a corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state in the United States or the District of Columbia or otherwise treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; (d) a trust: (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or (e) a partnership, limited liability company or other entity classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state in the United States or the District of Columbia.

Exempt holders (including, among others, corporations) are not subject to backup withholding requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN in the IRS Form W-9 and sign and date the form.

If a U.S. Shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such holder should write "Applied For" in the space provided for the TIN in the IRS Form W-9, and sign and date the IRS Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If "Applied For" is written in the IRS Form W-9 and the Depository is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Depository may, in the event of a change in currently applicable law or a change in currently known facts, withhold 24% with respect to any Consideration Shares due to such holder in connection with the Arrangement until a TIN is provided to the Depository.

------

Each U.S. Shareholder that is not a U.S. person should instead submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalty of perjury, certifying the U.S. Shareholder's foreign status to avoid potential backup withholding in the event of a change in currently applicable law or a change in currently known facts. The applicable IRS Forms W-8 and accompanying instructions can be found on the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/forms-instructions.

EACH HOLDER OF EMX SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN IRS FORM W-9 OR THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 OR IS EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING.

**8. Miscellaneous**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the space on this Letter of Transmittal is insufficient to list all certificates and DRS Advices for EMX Shares, additional certificate and/or DRS Advice control numbers and number of EMX Shares may be included on a separate signed list affixed to this Letter of Transmittal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If EMX Shares are registered in different forms (e.g., "John Doe" and "J. Doe") a separate Letter of Transmittal should be signed for each different registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No alternative, conditional or contingent deposits of EMX Shares will be accepted and no fractional Consideration Shares will be issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Additional copies of the Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from the Depositary at the address set out on the back of this Letter of Transmittal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) This Letter of Transmittal will be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The holder of the Deposited EMX Shares that are the subject of this Letter of Transmittal hereby unconditionally and irrevocably attorns to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia and the courts of appeal therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid on the Consideration Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Before completing this Letter of Transmittal, you are urged to read the accompanying Information Circular and discuss any questions with your financial, legal and/or tax advisors.
