CERRADO GOLD APPOINTS THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK TO BE THE MANDATED LEAD ARRANGER FOR EXPORT CREDIT AGENCY SUPPORTED PROJECT FINANCING AT ITS MONT SORCIER IRON AND VANADIUM PROJECT IN QUEBEC

Further to the Oct. 18, 2023, announcement in relation to potential Export Credit Agency (ECA) supported project financing of up to $598-million, Cerrado Gold Inc. has appointed the Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) as the MLA for its Mont Sorcier iron and vanadium project located in Quebec. Cerrado is also in the final stages of finalizing the appointment of the MLA for its Monte Do Carmo project in Brazil. All monetary amounts are in United States dollars.

As announced on September 5th, the Company together with its advisors, SD Capital Advisory Ltd and GKB Ventures Ltd ("S&G"), initiated a tender process to solicit interest from global Project Finance Banks to act as the MLA for the Company's Brazil and Quebec projects. As a result of this competitive process, the company received compelling bids. Together with the Company's advisors, the bids were evaluated based on ECA Project Finance Experience, execution capabilities and ultimately the financial terms for the Project Financing. TD has extensive experience in ECA financing, a longstanding relationship with UKEF, and presented competitive and compelling terms for the project financing.

The UKEF-backed facility is expected to be for up to US$598 million on a non-recourse project financing basis for a total tenor of 11 years. The funding will be to cover 70% of the expected project capital expenditures for the Mont Sorcier project.

As is common for ECA-supported Project Financing, UKEF provides political and commercial guarantees to project lenders, thereby lowering the overall project risk to the lender and resulting in lower costs of capital. This reduces the cost of debt to Cerrado Gold (and its 100% owned company Voyager Metals Inc) whilst at the same time extending tenors and creating debt capacity not normally available in the commercial bank market. To secure such support, project developers commit to a pre-agreed level of procurement from UK-based organizations for goods, services and materials. UKEF's mandate is to promote and support exports from British companies in the global market.

The appointment of TD is on an exclusive basis and sets out the indicative terms upon which the proposed ECA financing is expected to be based. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms are purely indicative and do not constitute an offer of finance or a legally binding commitment of any kind to provide finance. The provision of any binding offer is subject to, among other things: credit and other internal approvals; E&S approvals; satisfactory due diligence and documentation; satisfaction of KYC requirements and other terms customary for this type of transaction.

While the conclusion of project financing remains subject to the completion of a bankable feasibility study, an environmental impact assessment, the granting of construction permits, amongst other requirements, the appointment of the MLA is a significant milestone for the project financing of the Mont Sorcier project. At the Mont Sorcier project, work continues to advance the feasibility study and the environmental impact assessment. The feasibility study is targeted for completion in H2 2024 after which the next phase of the process will commence comprising of a formal due diligence period before a final binding offer and documentation.

Mark Brennan, CEO and Chairman, stated: "We are very pleased to have the support of TD as the MLA to lead our Project Financing in partnership with UKEF as we progress with the development of Mont Sorcier. We believe the strong interest in our project is indicative of the robust nature of the Mont Sorcier project and we look forward to working with TD, UKEF and other stakeholders to deliver the Mont Sorcier project".
