EMX EMX Royalty Corporation

Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "EMX") (TSX VENTURE:EMX)(NYSE MKT:EMXX)
is pleased to announce that it has entered into three option purchase
agreements, through its wholly owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration, with
Desert Star Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DSR) ("Desert Star") for the Red Top,
Copper Springs, and Copper King porphyry copper projects (each a "Project" and
collectively the "Projects"). The Projects are located approximately 100
kilometers east of Phoenix and occur in the prolific Globe-Miami and Superior
(Pioneer) mining districts. The copper porphyry belt in this part of Arizona has
been structurally dismembered and tilted by post mineral faults, and broadly
covered by post mineral rocks. EMX's structural geologic reconstructions led to
the recognition of new, concealed porphyry copper targets in mining districts
where earlier exploration targeted deposits thought to be intact and
structurally upright.


Commercial Terms Overview. Pursuant to the three option purchase agreements,
Desert Star can earn 100% interest in each of the three Projects, after which
EMX will retain a 2.5% NSR royalty. Desert Star has the option to purchase 0.5%
NSR of the NSR for US$2,500,000 by the 12th anniversary of the signing date.
Desert Star's earn-in requirements for each Project consist of the following: 




--  Delivering to EMX 350,000 shares of Desert Star upon TSX Venture
    approval, 
    
--  Incurring a minimum of US$5,000,000 in exploration expenditures by the
    seventh anniversary of the signing date, and 
    
--  Making additional milestone payments to the Company consisting of: 
    --  Advance Minimum Royalty ("AMR") payments totaling the value(i) of
        220,000 lbs of copper by the fifth anniversary of the signing date
        and the value of 80,000 lbs of copper annually thereafter until
        commencement of production, to be credited against 80% of each
        payment of EMX's NSR royalty upon production, and 
    --  A payment of $30,000 upon completion of 1,000 meters of drilling,
        and additional AMR payments totaling the value(i) of 510,000 lbs of
        copper tied to completion of a preliminary economic assessment, pre-
        feasibility study, production decision, and commencement of
        production. The terms include a payment based upon the known copper
        reserves at the time of completion of the feasibility study of 0.25%
        of the value(i) of each pound of copper up to 500,000,000 lbs and
        0.05% of the value(i) of each pound of copper over 500,000,000 lbs.
        There are additional AMR payments if project milestones are not met
        by certain anniversaries. 



(i) The "value" of copper is defined by the average of the daily cash settlement
prices of the London Metals Exchange for the calendar month preceding the
payment due date.


Project Overviews. The Red Top, Copper Springs, and Copper King Projects occur
in a region of the Arizona porphyry belt that hosts a number of copper mines and
deposits, including Resolution (Rio-Tinto/BHP Billiton), Pinto Valley (Capstone
Mining), Carlota (KGHM International), Miami-Inspiration (Freeport McMoRan),
Magma (BHP Billiton), and Ray (ASARCO). These mines and deposits provide context
for EMX's Projects, which occur in a similar geologic setting, but this is not
necessarily indicative that the Projects host similar mineralization. Brief
property descriptions are given below.




--  Red Top Project. Red Top is located eight kilometers north-northwest of
    the Resolution deposit in the Superior mining district. Resolution has
    an inferred resource of 1,737 Mtonnes averaging 1.52% copper and 0.035%
    molybdenum (Rio Tinto annual report, 2012). Red Top exhibits porphyry
    style alteration across a broad area, with locally intense alteration
    spanning several hundred meters and associated with anomalous base
    metals mineralization. These intensely altered areas are analogous to
    assemblages associated with mineralization at Resolution (Manske, 2002).
    EMX interprets this alteration and mineralization as an expression of
    the upper portion of a now moderately tilted porphyry system. 
    
--  Copper Springs Project. Copper Springs is located in the southern part
    of the Globe-Miami mining district. EMX recognized fault displaced
    alteration and mineralization patterns that delineate porphyry copper
    targets concealed beneath post mineral cover. At the nearby Miami-
    Inspiration mining complex, which is approximately three kilometers
    northwest, mineralization occurs in fault-dismembered deposits at
    similar structural levels to the Copper Springs porphyry. In addition,
    the historic Old Dominion mine is a high-grade copper vein system (past
    production/historic reserves greater than 10 Mtonnes at 4% Cu; Maher,
    2008) that is within one kilometer and vectors towards the project. BHP
    Billiton is currently conducting exploration drilling adjacent to the
    northern and northeastern flanks of the project area (Arizona Silver
    Belt News, June 26th, 2013). 
    
--  Copper King Project. Copper King is located about four kilometers north
    of the Resolution copper deposit. The target is proximal to alteration
    assemblages that are analogous to those zoned within 200-500 meters of
    the 1% copper shell at Resolution (McCarrell, 2012). As well, numerous,
    variably altered porphyry dikes are observed across the property. EMX
    has identified porphyry copper targets that are concealed due to
    moderate post-mineral tilting in the area. 



The partnering of these three Arizona porphyry copper properties with Desert
Star was a result of EMX's application of in-region geologic knowledge and
successful execution of the prospect generation business model. EMX staked the
properties on open ground at minimal cost. The Company is looking forward to
working with Desert Star as they continue to advance these quality copper
Projects in truly world class mining districts.
