Vox Royalty notes inclusion of Hecla’s Libby Project in Fast-41 dashboard

Vox Royalty (VOXR) noted that on April 22, 2025, Vox’s royalty operating partner, Hecla Mining Company (HL) announced that its Libby Exploration Project, over which Vox holds a US$0.20/ton production royalty, has been added to the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council’s FAST-41 permitting dashboard. This inclusion, announced by the Trump Administration on April 18, 2025, recognizes the project’s strategic importance in advancing domestic silver and copper production. The FAST-41 designation aims to streamline the federal permitting process for critical infrastructure projects and to provide increased transparency and efficiency. Hecla’s Libby Project, located in northwestern Montana, is now positioned to potentially benefit from this enhanced permitting framework. As further summarised by Hecla President and CEO, Rob Krcmarov: “We’re pleased that the Libby Project has been recognized in the White House’s critical minerals initiative and added to the FAST-41 dashboard. This priority status acknowledges the strategic importance of developing domestic silver and copper resources and should help streamline the remaining permitting process as we move toward a final Record of Decision.”
