Incentive Plan Awards

Outstanding Share-Based and Option-Based Awards held by NEOs

The following table sets out, for each NEO, the incentive option-based and share-based awards (in the form of RSUs) held as of December 31, 2019.

(1) The value of "in-the-money" options is the product of the number of Common Shares multiplied by the difference between the exercise price and the closing market price of the Common Shares on the financial year end. The closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX-V on December 31, 2019 was $2.15 per share.

(2) RSUs granted under the RSU Plan on January 24, 2019. The vesting date and payout date for RSUs granted on January 24, 2019, is January 1, 2022, subject to performance criteria.

(3) RSUs granted under the RSU Plan on August 27, 2018. The vesting date and payout date for RSUs granted on August 27, 2018, is January 1, 2021, subject to performance criteria.

(4) RSUs granted under the RSU Plan on August 28, 2017. The vesting date and payout date for RSUs granted on August 28, 2017 is January 1, 2020, subject to performance criteria.

Value of Share-Based and Option-Based Awards Vested or Earned During the Year by NEOs

The following table sets forth, for each NEO, the values of all incentive plan awards which vested or were earned during the last financial year ended December 31, 2019.

(1) The value of options vested during the year ended December 31, 2019 was determined by using the Black- Scholes model, as described below, and the following weighted average assumptions: stock price - $1.70 exercise price - $1.70, an option life of 5 years, a risk-free interest rate of 1.33% and a volatility of 67.678%.

(2) The value of a share-based award is the product of the number of Common Shares issuable on the vesting date multiplied by the closing market price of the Common Shares on the vesting date.  As noted above: for 2018, the amounts showing are for both 2017 and 2018 STIP combined.  Previously the Company granted STIP's later in the year, and therefore were not showing until the following year.  This catch up for 2018 will allow for more meaningful information going forward., The 2018 short term incentive portion of the above has not been paid out as of the date of this Circular, and will be paid out in a combination of Common Shares and cash.

Employment and Consulting Agreements

Chief Executive Officer

The Company is a party to an employment agreement with David M. Cole, President and CEO of the Company, effective August 1, 2017. Under the agreement, Mr. Cole receives US$ 325,000 per year. The agreement may be terminated by the Company without reason by written notice and a lump sum payment equal to 24 months of salary and benefits. Mr. Cole may terminate the agreement for any reason upon two months written notice to the Company during which time he will continue to receive his usual remuneration and benefits.

If Mr. Cole's agreement is terminated or his duties and responsibilities are materially changed within six months following a change in control of the Company, he is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 24 months of his salary and benefits and all unvested stock options and stock grants.

Other Named Executive Officers

The Company has not entered into written or oral employment or consulting contracts with its other NEOs.

Pension Plan Benefits

For the officers and employees in the United States, the Company pays 4% of the annual salary each year to each officer's and employee's 401(k) retirement plan.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

Other than described above under "Employment and Consulting Agreements", the Company does not have written contracts with any of its NEOs respecting the resignation, retirement or other termination of employment resulting from a change of control.

Director Compensation

The following table describes director compensation for non-executive directors for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(1) Compensation paid as directors' fees. Each of the Company's non-employee directors receives an annual retainer of $24,000 with no additional meeting or per diem fees. Mr. Winn receives additional compensation as the non-executive Chairman of the Board.

(2) The grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was determined by using the Black- Scholes model, as described below, and the following weighted average assumptions: stock price - $1.70 exercise price - $1.70, an option life of 5 years, a risk-free interest rate of 1.33% and a volatility of 67.678%.

The Company has calculated the "grant date fair value" amounts in the "Option-based Awards" column using the Black-Scholes model, a mathematical valuation model that ascribes a value to a stock option based on a number of factors in valuing the option-based awards, including the exercise price of the options, the price of the underlying security on the date the option was granted, and assumptions with respect to the volatility of the price of the underlying security and the risk-free rate of return. Calculating the value of stock options using this methodology is very different from a simple "in-the-money" value calculation. Stock options that are well "out-of-the-money" can still have a significant "grant date fair value" based on a Black-Scholes valuation. Accordingly, caution must be exercised in comparing grant date fair value amounts with cash compensation or an "in-the-money" option value calculation. The total compensation shown in the last column is the total compensation of each director reported in other columns. The value of the "in-the-money" options currently held by each director (based on share price less option exercise price) is set forth in the "Value of Unexercised in-the-money Options" column of the "Outstanding Share-Based and Option-Based Awards" table below.

The methodology used for determining the remuneration of the Board is similar to that used for the remuneration of NEOs. Remuneration of committee chairmen is determined based on their own merits and circumstances after being considered in light of prevailing economic conditions - both on a corporate level and on national and international levels - and industry norms for such remuneration. Levels of remuneration of directors, committee members and committee chairmen are usually first informally discussed among the members of the Compensation Committee before being formally considered and approved by the Board.

Outstanding Share-based and Option-based Awards held by Directors

The following table sets out, for each non-executive director, the option-based awards (incentive stock options to purchase Common Shares) and share-based awards (RSUs) held as of December 31, 2019.

(1) The value of "in-the-money" options is the product of the number of Common Shares multiplied by the difference between the exercise price and the closing market price of the Common Shares on the financial year end. Options which were not vested at the financial year end are not included in this value. The closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX-V on December 31, 2019 was $2.15 per share.

(2) The value of a share-based award is the product of the number of Common Shares issuable on the vesting date multiplied by the closing market price of the Common Shares on the vesting date.

Value of Share-Based and Option-Based Awards Vested or Earned During the Year by Directors

The following table sets forth, for each non-executive director, the values of all incentive plan awards which vested or were earned during the last financial year ended December 31, 2019.

(1) The grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was determined by using the Black- Scholes model, as described below, and the following weighted average assumptions: stock price - $1.70 exercise price - $1.70, an option life of 5 years, a risk-free interest rate of 1.33% and a volatility of 67.678%.

(2) The value of a share-based award is the product of the number of Common Shares issuable on the vesting date multiplied by the closing market price of the Common Shares on the vesting date.

Management Contracts

Pursuant to a management service agreement dated February 13, 2014 as amended December 1, 2019 between the Company and Seabord Services Corp. of Suite 501, 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, the Company pays $29,800 per month to Seabord in consideration of Seabord providing the services of the CFO and office, reception, secretarial, accounting and corporate records services to the Company.

Seabord is a private corporation wholly-owned by Michael D. Winn, a director of the Company.

Stock Option Plan

The Board established the Option Plan to attract and motivate the directors, officers and employees of the Company (and any of its subsidiaries), employees of any management company and consultants to the Company (collectively the "Optionees") and thereby advance the Company's interests by providing them an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the exercise of stock options granted to them under the Option Plan.

Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Board, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, may grant options to Optionees in consideration of them providing their services to the Company or a subsidiary. The number of Common Shares subject to each option is determined by the Board within the guidelines established by the Option Plan. The options enable the Optionees to purchase Common Shares at a price fixed pursuant to such guidelines. The options are exercisable by the Optionee giving the Company notice and payment of the exercise price for the number of Common Shares to be acquired.

The Option Plan authorizes the Board to grant stock options to the Optionees on the following terms:

1. The number of Common Shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding options, in the aggregate, cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares.

2. The number of Common Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Option Plan by one Optionee or all Optionees providing investor relations services is subject to the following limitations

(a) no Optionee can be granted options during a 12 month period to purchase more than:

(i) 5% of the issued Common Shares unless disinterested Shareholder approval has been obtained (such approval has not been sought), or

(ii) 2% of the issued Common Shares, if the Optionee is a consultant, and

(b) the aggregate number of Common Shares subject to options held by all Optionees providing investor relations services cannot exceed 2% in the aggregate.

3. Unless the Option Plan has been approved by disinterested Shareholders (such approval has not been obtained), options granted under the Option Plan, together with all of the Company's previously established and outstanding stock options, stock option plans, employee stock purchase plans or any other compensation or incentive mechanisms involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares, shall not result, at any time, in

(a) the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to insiders exceeding 10% of the outstanding Common Shares at the time of granting,

(b) the grant to insiders, within a one year period, of options to purchase that number of Common Shares exceeding 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, or

(c) the issuance to any one insider and such insider's associates, within a one year period, of Common Shares totalling in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Shares.

4. The exercise price of the options cannot be set at less than the greater of $0.10 per Common Share and the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the day before the granting of the stock options. If the Optionee is subject to the tax laws of the United States of America and owns (determined in accordance with such laws) greater than 10% of the Common Shares, the exercise price shall be at least 110% of the price established as aforesaid.

5. The options may be exercisable for up to 10 years.

6. There are not any vesting requirements unless the Optionee is a consultant providing investor relations services to the Company, in which case the options must vest over at least 12 months with no more than one-quarter vesting in any three month period. However, the Board may impose additional vesting requirements and, subject to obtaining any required approval from the TSX-V, may authorize all unvested options to vest immediately. If there is a potential "change of control" of the Company due to a take-over bid being made for the Company or a similar event, all unvested options, subject to obtaining any required approval from the TSX-V, shall vest immediately.

7. The options can only be exercised by the Optionee (to the extent they have already vested) for so long as the Optionee is a director, officer or employee of, or consultant to, the Company or any subsidiary or is an employee of the Company's management company and within a period thereafter not exceeding the earlier of:

(a) the original expiry date;

(b) 90 days after ceasing to be a director, officer or employee of, or consultant to, the Company at the request of the Board or for the benefit of another director or officer to, the Company unless the Optionee is subject to the tax laws of the United States of America, in which case the option will terminate on the earlier of the 90^th day and the third month after the Optionee ceased to be an officer or employee; and

(c) if the Optionee dies, within one year from the Optionee's death.

If the Optionee is terminated "for cause", involuntarily removed or resigns (other than at the request of the Board or for the benefit of another director or officer) from any such positions, the option will terminate concurrently.

8. The options are not assignable except to a wholly-owned holding company. If the option qualifies as an "incentive stock option" under the United States Internal Revenue Code, the option is not assignable to a holding company.

9. No financial assistance is available to Optionees under the Option Plan.

10. Any amendments to outstanding stock options are subject to the approval of the TSX-V and NYSE American and, if required by either exchange or the Option Plan, of the Shareholders, possibly with only disinterested Shareholders being entitled to vote. Disinterested Shareholder approval must be obtained for the reduction of the exercise price of options (including the cancellation and re-issuance of options within a one year period so as to effectively reduce the exercise price) of options held by insiders of the Company. The amendment to an outstanding stock option will also require the consent of the Optionee.

11. Any amendments to the Option Plan are subject to the approval of the TSX-V and NYSE American and, if required by either exchange or the Option Plan, of the Shareholders, possibly with only disinterested Shareholders being entitled to vote.

No options have been granted under the Option Plan which are subject to Shareholder approval.

The Option Plan does not permit stock options to be transformed into stock appreciation rights.

RSU Plan

The RSU Plan was adopted by the Board for the same reasons as it adopted the Option Plan set out above.

The RSU Plan provides that RSUs may be granted by the Board, based on the advice of the Compensation Committee, to officers, directors and employees of, and consultants to, the Company ("Eligible Persons") as a discretionary payment in consideration for significant contributions to the short-term (one year or less) and long-term (one to three years) successes of the Company. The Board may, in its sole discretion, set vesting conditions on RSUs granted to Eligible Persons, which conditions will be primarily based on the performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee.

The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan in combination with the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable under all of the Company's other equity incentive plans in existence from time to time, including the Option Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

In addition, the RSU Plan provides that the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the RSU Plan and all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, including the Option Plan, within a 12 month period, to:

(a) any one Eligible Person shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date of the grant on a non-diluted basis;

(b) Insiders as a group within a 12-month period shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis; and

(c) any one consultant, or Eligible Person engaged in providing investor relations services to the Company, shall not exceed 2% in the aggregate of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date of the grant on a non-diluted basis.

Unless redeemed earlier in accordance with the RSU Plan, the RSUs of each Eligible Person will be redeemed on or within 30 days after the RSU Payment Date (as defined below) for cash or Common Shares, as determined by the Board, for an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (the closing market price of the Common Shares on the TSX-V on the day prior to redemption) of an RSU, less applicable withholding taxes, and as increased or decreased by a "performance factor" determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The "RSU Payment Date" in respect of any RSU means a date not later than December 15^th of the third year following the year in which such RSU was granted to the Eligible Person, unless (i) an earlier date has been approved by the Board as the RSU Payment Date in respect of such RSU, or (ii) there is a "Change of Control" of the Company (as defined in the RSU Plan), the RSU Plan is terminated or upon an Eligible Person's death or termination of employment.

Under the RSU Plan, the Board may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the RSU Plan or may discontinue the RSU Plan at any time. Subject to receipt of requisite disinterested Shareholder, TSX-V and NYSE American approvals, the Board may make amendments to the RSU Plan to

• change the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the RSU Plan,

• change the method of calculation of the redemption of RSUs held by Eligible Persons, and

• provide an extension to the term for the redemption of RSUs held by Eligible Persons.

All other amendments to the RSU Plan may be made by the Board without obtaining shareholder approval.

If an Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason (excluding death), all of the Eligible Person's RSUs which have vested at the time of such cessation shall be redeemed for cash or Common Shares and the remainder shall be cancelled. No amount shall be paid by the Company to the Eligible Person in respect of the RSUs so cancelled. If an Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person due to death, any of the Eligible Person's RSUs which would otherwise vest within the next year following the date of death shall be redeemed for cash or Common Shares as determined by the Board.

In the event of a Change of Control, then the Company may redeem, subject to prior approval of the TSX-V and NYSE American, all of the RSUs granted to the Eligible Persons and outstanding under the RSU Plan for that number of Common Shares equal to the number of RSUs then held by the Eligible Persons. If the employment of an Eligible Person is terminated within six months following a Change of Control, all RSUs held by such Eligible Person shall become vested and be redeemed for cash or Common Shares.

Performance Graph

The following graph shows the Company's cumulative total return on the Common Shares compared with the cumulative total return of the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index and the Van Eck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (assuming reinvestment of dividends) during the Company's last five financial years if $100 were invested in each at the start of such five-year period.

(1) For the purposes of this graph, it is assumed that $100 had been invested in the Common Shares and in such index on the first day of such five-year period.

The Compensation Committee considers that the compensation paid to the NEOs is consistent with companies of a similar size and stage of development as the Company and is reflective of the variations in the Share price during the years shown.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices of the Canadian securities administrators requires the Company to annually disclose certain information regarding its corporate governance practices. That information is disclosed below.

Board of Directors

The Board has responsibility for the stewardship of the Company including responsibility for strategic planning, identification of the principal risks of the Company's business and implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks, succession planning (including appointing, training and monitoring senior management), communications with investors and the financial community and the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems.

The Board sets long term goals and objectives for the Company and formulates the plans and strategies necessary to achieve those objectives and to supervise senior management in their implementation. The Board delegates the responsibility for managing the day-to-day affairs of the Company to senior management but retains a supervisory role in respect of, and ultimate responsibility for, all matters relating to the Company and its business. The Board is responsible for protecting Shareholders' interests and ensuring that the incentives of the Shareholders and of management are aligned.

As part of its ongoing review of business operations, the Board reviews, as frequently as required, the principal risks inherent in the Company's business, including financial risks, through periodic reports from management of such risks, and assesses the systems established to manage those risks. Directly and through the Audit Committee, the Board also assesses the integrity of internal control over financial reporting and management information systems.

In addition to those matters that must, by law, be approved by the Board, the Board is required to approve any material dispositions, acquisitions and investments outside the ordinary course of business, long-term strategy, and organizational development plans. Management of the Company is authorized to act without Board approval, on all ordinary course matters relating to the Company's business.

The Board also monitors the Company's compliance with timely disclosure obligations and reviews material disclosure documents prior to distribution.

The Board is responsible for the appointment of senior management and monitoring of their performance.

The Board has adopted a written mandate setting out the foregoing obligations (the "Board Mandate"), a copy of which is attached to this Circular as Schedule "A", and is governed by the requirements of applicable corporate and securities common and statute law which provide that the Board has responsibility for the stewardship of the Company. That stewardship includes responsibility for strategic planning, identification of the principal risks of the Company's business and implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks, succession planning (including appointing, training and monitoring senior management), communications with investors and the financial community and the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems.

More than half of the Board is "independent" under both applicable Canadian securities law and the rules of the NYSE American in that they are independent and free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act with the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. The Board considers that the following directors are independent: Brian E. Bayley, Brian K. Levet, and Larry M. Okada. The Board considers that David M. Cole, the President and CEO of the Company, is not independent because he is a member of management, and that Michael D. Winn, Chairman of the Board, is not independent because of his ownership of Seabord and the payment by the Company of consulting fees to a corporation owned by him.

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company's management through regular meetings of the Board.

The Board holds regularly scheduled meetings without the non-independent directors and members of management. During the financial year ended December 31, 2019, the independent directors held two in-camera meetings without the non-independent directors and management.

When a matter being considered involves a director, that director does not vote on the matter. As well, the directors regularly and independently confer amongst themselves and thereby keep apprised of all operational and strategic aspects of the Company's business.

The Chairman of the Board is responsible for presiding over all meetings of the directors and Shareholders. He is not an independent director, however, the independent directors either have significant experience as directors and officers of publicly traded companies or as members of the financial investment community and, therefore, do not require the guidance of an independent Chairman of the Board in exercising their duties as directors.

The following tables set out the attendance of directors at Board and Committee meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019:

Descriptions of Roles

The Board has not established written descriptions of the positions of Chairman of the Board, CEO or chair of any of the committees of the Board (except as may be set out in a charter applicable to a committee) as it feels they are unnecessary and would not improve the function and performance of the Board, CEO or committee. The role of chair is delineated by the nature of the overall responsibilities of the Board (in the case of the Chairman of the Board) or the committee (in the case of a chair of a committee).

The Board has not set limits on the objectives to be met by the CEO, but believes that such limits and objectives should depend upon the circumstances of each situation and that to formalize these matters would be restrictive and unproductive.

Other Directorships

Certain of the directors are presently a director of one or more other reporting issuers (public companies), as follows:

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board takes the following measures to ensure that all new directors receive a comprehensive orientation regarding their role as a member of the Board, its committees and its directors, and the nature and operation of the Company.

The first step is to assess a new director's set of skills and professional background since each new director brings a different skill set and professional background. Once that assessment has been completed, the Board is able to determine what orientation to the nature and operations of the Company's business will be necessary and relevant to each new director.

The second step is taken by one or more existing directors, who may be assisted by the Company's management, to provide the new director with the appropriate orientation through a series of meetings, telephone calls and other correspondence.

The Company has a Board Policy Manual which provides a comprehensive introduction to the Board and its committees. The Manual contains the charters of the Audit Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Manual also contains the Whistleblower Policy, Board Mandate, and Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.

The Board takes the following measures to provide continuing education for its directors to maintain the skill and knowledge necessary for them to meet their obligations as directors:

• the Board Policy Manual is reviewed on an annual basis and a revised copy will be given annually to each director; and

• there are technical presentations from time to time or as necessary at Board meetings, focusing on either a particular property or a summary of various properties. The "question and answer" portions of these presentations are a valuable learning resource for the non-technical directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

To comply with its legal mandate, the Board seeks to foster a culture of ethical conduct by striving to ensure the Company carries out its business in line with high business and moral standards and applicable legal and financial requirements. In that regard, the Board

• has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Code is available on the Company's website at

www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/code-of-business-conduct-and-ethics

and has been filed on SEDAR and EDGAR (see "Additional Information" at the end of this Circular). Compliance with the Code is achieved as follows. Each director is responsible for ensuring that they individually comply with the terms of the Code, while the Board is responsible for ensuring that the directors, as a group, and all officers comply with the Code and the executive officers of the Company are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Code by employees. Since the beginning of the Company's last financial year, EMX has not filed a Material Change Report relating to any conduct of a director or executive officer that constitutes a departure from the Code.

• has established a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, as described below under "Board Committees", and adopted a Charter for the Committee. The full text of the Charter is available on the Company's website at

www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/corporate-governance-committee-charter;

• has established a Whistleblower Policy which details complaint procedures for financial concerns. The full text of the Policy is available on the Company's website at

www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/whistle-blower-policy;

• has created a Corporate Disclosure, Confidentiality and Securities Trading Policy which details when directors, officers and employees should not engage in trading in the Company's securities. The Policy was adopted to ensure fair, accurate and timely disclosure of material information regarding the Company and its business. The full text of the Policy is available on the Company's website at

www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/corporate-disclosure-confidentiality-and-securities-trading-policy.

• encourages management to consult with legal and financial advisors to ensure the Company is meeting those requirements.

• is cognizant of the Company's timely disclosure obligations and reviews material disclosure documents such as financial statements and the Management's Discussion & Analysis prior to distribution.

• relies on its Audit Committee to annually review the systems of internal financial control and discuss such matters with the Company's external auditor.

• actively monitors the Company's compliance with the Board's directives and ensures that all material transactions are thoroughly reviewed and authorized by the Board before being undertaken by management.

The Board must also comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments and stock exchange policies, to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.

Complaints

The Whistleblower Policy outlines procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees regarding the Company's accounting, auditing and financial reporting obligations, without fear of retaliation of any kind. If an

applicable individual has any concerns about accounting, audit, internal controls or financial reporting matters which they consider to be questionable, incorrect, misleading or fraudulent, the applicable individual is urged to come forward with any such information, complaints or concerns, without regard to the position of the person or persons responsible for the subject matter of the relevant complaint or concern.

The applicable individual may report their concern in writing and forward it to the Chairman of the Audit Committee in a sealed envelope labelled "To be opened by the Chairman of the Audit Committee only." Further, if the applicable individual wishes to discuss any matter with the Audit Committee, this request should be indicated in the submission. Any such envelopes received by the Company will be forwarded promptly and unopened to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Promptly following the receipt of any complaints submitted to it, the Audit Committee will investigate each complaint and take appropriate corrective actions.

The Audit Committee will retain as part of its records, any complaints or concerns for a period of no less than seven years. The Audit Committee will keep a written record of all such reports or inquiries and make quarterly reports on any ongoing investigation which will include steps taken to satisfactorily address each complaint.

The Whistleblower Policy is reviewed by the Audit Committee on an annual basis.

Nomination of Directors

To identify new candidates for nomination for election as directors, the Board considers the advice and input of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the members of which are listed under "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - 4. Election of Directors" and which is composed of majority independent directors, regarding:

• the appropriate size of the Board;

• the necessary competencies and skills of the Board as a whole and the competencies and skills of each director individually; and

• the identification and recommendation of new individuals qualified to become new Board members. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required and a willingness to serve as directors.

Other Board Committees

In addition to the Audit Committee, described in the next section, the Board has established a Compensation Committee, and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

The details of the Company's Audit Committee and related information are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 40-F filed on EDGAR and filed on SEDAR as an alternative Annual Information Form. The full text of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company's website at

www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/audit-committee-charter.

See "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - 4. Election of Directors" for the members of the committees. The functions of these committees are described below.

Compensation Committee: The Compensation Committee is responsible for the review of all compensation paid (including stock options granted under the Option Plan, and RSUs granted under the RSU Plan) by the Company to the Board, officers and employees of the Company and any subsidiaries, to report to the Board on the results of those reviews and to make recommendations to the Board for adjustments to such compensation. The full text of the Compensation Committee Charter is available on the Company's website at

www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/compensation-committee-charter.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee: The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for advising the Board of the appropriate corporate governance procedures that should be followed by the Company and the Board and monitoring whether they comply with such procedures. The full text of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter is available on the Company's website at

www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/corporate-governance-committee-charter.

Assessments

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. To facilitate this evaluation, each committee will conduct an annual assessment of its performance, consisting of a review of its Charter, the performance of the Committee as a whole and will submit a Committee Annual Report to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, including recommendations. In addition, the Board will conduct an annual review of its performance.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") of the Canadian securities administrators and Rule 10A-3 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, require the Audit Committee of the Board to meet certain requirements. NI 52-110 also requires the Company to disclose certain information regarding the Audit Committee. That information has been disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the last financial year which has been filed on SEDAR (as an alternative Annual Information Form) and EDGAR (see "Additional Information" at the end of this Circular). The full text of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company's website at www.EMXRoyalty.com/corporate/governance/audit-committee-charter.

SCHEDULE "A"

BOARD MANDATE

Overview

The members ("Directors") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of EMX Royalty Corporation (the "Company") are required to manage the Company's business and affairs and thereby protect the interests of the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders"). The Board is also responsible for ensuring that the Company acts ethically, honestly and with integrity. In doing so, Directors are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. In addition, each Director must exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

The Board's mandate includes setting long-term goals and objectives for the Company, formulating the plans and strategies necessary to achieve those objectives and supervising senior management in the implementation of such plans and strategies. The Board is also required under its mandate to approve any material dispositions, acquisitions and investments outside of the ordinary course of business, long-term strategy, and organizational development plans.

Appointment of Management

The Board is responsible for the appointment of executive officers. To the extent feasible, the Board must satisfy itself as to the integrity of the chief executive officer (the "CEO") and other executive officers and that the CEO and other executive officers create a culture of integrity throughout the organization.

Relationship with Management

Management is authorized to act, without Board approval, on all ordinary course matters relating to the Company's business. Although the Board delegates the responsibility for managing the day to day affairs of the Company to senior management personnel, the Board retains a supervisory role in respect of, and ultimate responsibility for, all matters relating to the Company and its business. The Board is also responsible for ensuring that the incentives of the shareholders and of management are aligned.

As part of its ongoing review of business operations, the Board must review, as frequently as required, the principal risks inherent in the Company's business, including financial risks, through periodic reports from management of such risks, and assess the systems established to manage those risks. Directly and through the Audit Committee, the Board also assesses the integrity of internal control over the Company's financial reporting and management information systems.

The Board expects management to efficiently implement its strategic plans for the Company, to keep the Board fully apprised of its progress in doing so and to be fully accountable to the Board in respect to all matters for which it has been assigned responsibility.

The Board also expects management to provide the Directors with information, on a timely basis, concerning the business and affairs of the Company, including financial and operating information and information concerning industry developments as they occur, all with a view to enabling the Board to discharge its stewardship obligations effectively.

Shareholder Relations

The Board has instructed management to maintain procedures to monitor and promptly address Shareholder concerns and has directed and will continue to direct management to apprise the Board of any major concerns expressed by Shareholders. The Board is required to call an annual general meeting of the Company's shareholders.

Public Disclosure

The Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's public disclosure practices and has established a Corporate Disclosure, Confidentiality and Securities Trading Policy in accordance with applicable securities legislation and the rules and policies of stock exchanges and markets on which the Company's securities are listed or traded. In so doing, the Board is free to seek the advice of the Company's outside legal counsel.

Meetings of the Board

The obligations of the Board must be performed continuously, and not merely from time to time, and in times of crisis or emergency the Board may have to assume a more direct role in managing the affairs of the Company. At least one Board meeting per year must be devoted to a comprehensive review of strategic corporate plans proposed by management.

The Board meets regularly as needed, and in no event less than once per quarterly period, All Directors are expected to attend and to review in advance, any materials provided to them in connection with the meeting.

Independent members of the Board may hold meetings as frequently as necessary to carry out its responsibilities under this Board Mandate, but in no event less than once per year, at which non-independent Directors and members of management are not in attendance.

Management also communicates informally with members of the Board on a regular basis, and solicits the advice of the Board members on matters falling within their special knowledge or experience.

Board Committees

The Company's standing committees are comprised of an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.
