MILLROCK ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC INVESTMENT BY EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION A GOODPASTER GOLD DISTRICT, ALASKA

EMX Royalty Corp. has agreed to make a $1-million equity investment in Millrock Resources Inc. through a private placement financing. The subscription price represents a significant premium to Millrock's current market price. In return for the premium financing, Millrock has agreed to grant certain royalty interests to EMX. Millrock and EMX have agreed that the investment funds will be used in Alaska's Goodpaster mining district in which the Pogo gold mine is located. The Pogo gold mine is now owned by Northern Star Resources. As of the middle of 2018, the high-grade gold mine had already produced approximately 3.8 million ounces of gold (source: Northern Star website). Millrock believes that more gold deposits can be discovered in the lightly explored, emerging Goodpaster district. The Goodpaster district is situated in east-central Alaska within the Tintina gold province, an arcuate span of rocks that hosts numerous, large gold deposits in Yukon and Alaska.

Gregory A. Beischer, president and chief executive officer of Millrock, commented: "We are pleased to collaborate with EMX to maximize our chances of finding gold orebodies. There has only been one exploration push in the Goodpaster district since the discovery of Pogo in 1994. It is common in productive gold mining camps that multiple deposits are discovered. So far there has only been one mine developed in the Goodpaster district. We believe Alaska's Goodpaster area will one day become a gold mining camp of significant proportion. Millrock already owns a substantial proprietary geological database for the district and has held some key claim blocks near the Pogo gold mine for some years. We intend to use our database and knowledge to acquire high-potential mineral lands and to explore for gold deposits in this emerging district."

Under the private placement, EMX will purchase 7,142,857 units at a price of 14 cents per unit for a total investment of $1-million. Each unit will consist of one common share of Millrock and one share purchase warrant, each entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of Millrock until Dec. 14, 2021, at an escalating exercise price (14 cents until Dec. 14, 2019; 17 cents from Dec. 15, 2019, until Dec. 14, 2020; and 20 cents from Dec. 15, 2020, until Dec. 14, 2021). Upon completion of the private placement, it is expected that EMX will own approximately 9.4 per cent of Millrock's issued and outstanding common shares, and, if EMX exercises its warrants prior to any further Millrock share issuances, would own 17.5 per cent of Millrock's issued and outstanding shares.

The private placement includes an accelerated warrant exercise provision. In the event that Millrock's shares have traded at or above 20 cents per share for 20 consecutive trading days, Millrock may give notice that the warrants will expire if not exercised within 30 days of receipt of such notice by EMX. The private placement includes a partial restriction on resale of the securities (in addition to the usual Securities Act hold provision) until the first anniversary of the investment, and an anti-dilution clause entitling EMX to subscribe for additional shares in any future financings to maintain its existing percentage ownership of Millrock.

Millrock and EMX have agreed to the use of a minimum of $500,000 from the private placement for the acquisition of mineral rights and advancement of exploration on projects within a defined area of interest surrounding the Goodpaster mining district. Millrock will grant royalty rights to EMX on certain existing projects and on new projects developed with the EMX financing. The amount of the royalty granted to EMX will, for claims staked on lands where no underlying royalty exists, be 1.0 per cent of net smelter returns (NSR). For claims staked on lands where there is an existing royalty payable to a third party, the royalty to be granted to EMX will be 0.5-per-cent NSR. The obligation to grant royalties on new projects will end when Millrock has expended $500,000 on claim staking and exploration within the area of interest subject to the investment financing. If EMX provides financing to Millrock to buy out the royalty that exists on the West Pogo optioned claims, Millrock will buy out the royalties and grant a new royalty of 1.5-per-cent NSR to EMX on such claims. Millrock has also granted EMX a right of first refusal on any future royalty financings.

The private placement is subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Cautionary statement

The company cautions that the mineralization at the Pogo gold mine is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Millrock properties, and there is no certainty that significant mineralization similar to that found at the Pogo gold mine will be identified on the properties.
