ALMADEX MINERALS HIGHLIGHTS STRATEGIC PORTFOLIO OF MINING ROYALTIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
Almadex Minerals Ltd. provided a comprehensive overview of its diversified portfolio of royalties on precious and base metal projects throughout North America. Many of these royalties were generated through Almadex's long-standing prospect generator model, providing shareholders with meaningful exposure to potential future discoveries and production while eliminating capital and operating risk.
Royalty portfolio overview
Almadex holds numerous net smelter return (NSR) royalties ranging from 0.5 per cent to 2.0 per cent, covering assets in Canada, the United States and Mexico. This portfolio reflects over two decades of exploration success and partnership development by the Almadex team and its predecessor companies.

Strategic value and outlook
Collectively, these royalties provide leverage to a wide range of projects at varying stages of exploration and development, operated by a diverse group of established and emerging companies. The portfolio offers exposure to gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead, reflecting Almadex's legacy, technical expertise and broad generative footprint.
"Our royalty portfolio captures two decades of exploration success and partnership creation," stated Dr. Morgan Poliquin, PhD, PEng, president and chief executive officer of Almadex Minerals. "From copper-gold porphyry systems like Kodiak's Dillard zone in British Columbia to silver-rich districts in Mexico and polymetallic projects in Yukon, Almadex is exposed to third party success while preserving the financial strength to advance our own generative work."
