Debt Facility Details

Key terms of the Debt Facility are consistent with those previously announced in the Company's news release dated April 18, 2023 and include the following:

• Facility amount - Up to $120 million principal amount on senior secured debt.

• Term - 8.5 years, including a 2-year grace period during the construction phase. Cash sweep will be applied to 35% of excess cash flow after debt service from completion onwards until $35 million of loan principal has been prepaid.

• Interest rate - US Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") + 4.50% per annum prior to completion (SOFR + 3.75% per annum upon completion).

• Repayment and maturity - Principal payments are payable in quarterly installments commencing in the fourth quarter of 2025.

• Gold hedge - Prior to initial drawdown, Terronera is required to enter into a hedging program for 68,000 ounces of gold over the initial two operating years. No hedging requirements apply to the silver production.

• Foreign exchange hedge - Prior to initial drawdown, Terronera is required to enter into a hedging program for managing exposure to the Mexican Peso during construction. The program requires approximately 75% of the remaining capital expenditure incurred in Mexican Pesos be hedged. Prior to initial production, a hedging program is required for managing exposure to the Mexican Peso during operations. Under this program 50% of the projected operating costs incurred in Mexican Pesos are hedged prior to completion. Thereafter, the foreign exchange protection program for operations will rise to 70% of the projected operating costs incurred in Mexican pesos.


• Project cost overrun funding - Cost overrun funding is required in the form of cash, letter of credit issued by a Canadian financial institution or a combination of both for up to $48 million.
