A mineral property bank that specializes in acquisitions with revenue from options, sales, and royalties Holds 192 diversified assets in favorable jurisdictions in North America and Germany Maintains a strong management team and has no debt What Globex Mining Enterprises does:  Globex Mining Enterprises Inc (TSE:GMX) (OCTMKTS:GLBXF) is an exploration, royalty, and property bank company with a diversified portfolio of mid-stage exploration, development, and royalty properties in Canada, Germany, and the US. The breadth and scope of its portfolio are enormous: precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium), base metals (copper, zinc, lead, nickel), specialty metals and minerals (manganese, titanium oxide, iron, molybdenum, uranium, lithium, rare earths) and industrial minerals and compounds (mica, silica, apatite, talc, magnesite). The company explores for its own account and options many of its numerous projects to other companies that pay Globex cash, shares, and royalties and undertake extensive exploration in order to earn an interest in Globex's projects -- of which there are currently 192.  If the company’s partners earn 100% of a property, they then provide Globex with what's called a gross metal royalty (GMR), a concept invented by the firm, which sees an actual percentage (for example 3%) of the physical metal produced at a project go to Globex. The company has 96 precious metals (gold), 60 base metals properties, and more than 36 specialty minerals projects. Globex also has 71 royalties and four active options -- GMR, cash, share, and exploration/development payments. Globex Mining, which has strong cash and share positions in other companies, is debt-free and owns all of its property and exploration assets. It also gets a stream of royalty and options payments and its stock has a history of minimal dilution.  How is it doing: Globex Mining has been actively creating value for its shareholders in 2021.   In July, the company said it had optioned the 77-hectare, past-producing Eagle gold mine property in Quebec to Maple Gold Mines Ltd. Under the agreement, Maple Gold Mines has the option to pay C$1.2 million, half in cash and half in shares, over a five-year period to Globex and undertake C$1.2 million in exploration over four years in order to earn a 100% interest in the Eagle property. As well, Globex will retain a 2.5% Gross Metal Royalty (GMR) of which a 1% GMR may be purchased by Maple Gold Mines for C$1.5 million before commercial production begins. During the previous month, Globex Mining agreed to sell its Francoeur/Arntfield/Lac Fortune gold property in Québec to mining major Yamana Gold (TSX:YRI) Inc in a cash and share deal worth over C$15 million.  As part of the deal, Yamana will also acquire 30 claims in Beauchastel township to the east of the Wasamac gold property and three claims in the Malartic township from Globex. The agreement will provide Globex with "revenue for the next four years as well as a significant royalty stream should a mineral deposit on the property package enter into production", it said. Meanwhile in May, the company entered into a letter of intent (LOI) to sell its Middle Tennessee Mine (MTM) Royalty on zinc production to Sprott Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp and Electric Royalties Ltd (TSX-V:ELEC, OTC:ELECF) for C$13.75 million in cash plus nine million Electric Royalties common shares. At closing, Globex expects to have more than $27.5 million in cash and shares of other listed companies as well as the 5.5 million Electric Royalties warrants. Globex’s options partner, Excellon Resources Inc, helped give an upbeat kick-off to 2021 by announcing a new silver, gold, lead zinc discovery on the Silver City project (Grauer Wolf) in Saxony, Germany. Drilling to date has confirmed high-grade silver mineralization over 12 kilometers of strike within 36 kilometers of strike potential on the project. Over in New Brunswick, the company acquired recently a 100% interest in the Bald Hill antimony property in Queens County in the south-central region of the province consisting of 26 claims covering the Bald Hill antimony deposit and surrounding area.  The antimony (Sb) zone was most recently explored by Rockport Mining Corp and surface trenching returned up to 43% Sb over 2m and 2.90% Sb over 8.18 meters (m). An additional eight claims adjoining Globex’s Devils Pike gold deposit property were also acquired. Globex also acquired a permitted Silica Quarry in Ontario near the Quebec border that awaits court approval. The property has a large historical resource of high-grade silica grading in the range of more than 98% SiO2.

The government is putting funds into companies that are looking for antimony. In quantity and grade, there is roughly a million tons of about between 4-5% antimony open along strike, open to depth ... it's a really nice project." Contact Sean at sean@proactiveinvestors.com
