EURO SUN MINING ANNOUNCES SIGNED TERM SHEET FOR UP TO US$200M FACILITY

On June 20, 2025, Euro Sun Mining Inc. agreed in principle to the terms and conditions for a copper concentrate prepayment facility of up to $200-million (U.S.) offered by Trafigura Pte. Ltd. (the lender), subject to conditions summarized below. This facility is aimed to secure the financial requirements needed by the company to complete all necessary permitting and further investment over the next 18 months to advance the Rovina Valley copper-gold project. The lender intends to assist in syndication of a consortium to provide the company with additional debt component of up to $200-million (U.S.) upon reaching the construction phase of the company's Rovina Valley project.

Grant Sboros, chief executive officer of Euro Sun, commented: "We are very pleased to have signed this term sheet that we believe could significantly strengthen our financial position. We are working to obtain financial security for all our stakeholders and a clear financial road map to support our strategic growth and advance the long-term vision for our Rovina Valley project.

"As per our previous press release, the company is advancing with its environmental impact assessment submission and that will be followed with close engagement with Romanian officials to get the legislative outcome the project requires. Together with our strategic status granted and our financial position closer to being secured, we are on the cusp of being fully equipped to deliver this project for people of Romania and Europe's benefit."

Ross Ridgway, head of copper at Trafigura, commented: "We are pleased to support Euro Sun in advancing the Rovina Valley project, home to the second-largest copper and gold deposits in Europe. As global demand for copper continues to grow -- driven by electrification and industrialization -- the need for secure, sustainable new sources of supply has rarely been more important."

Other terms

Pursuant to the term sheet, $2.5-million (U.S.) may be drawn down within 16 months from the first availability date agreed by the parties following completion of the applicable definitive agreement (Tranche A), an additional $17.5-million (U.S.) may be drawn down within 16 months from the first availability date (Tranche B), and the final $180-million (U.S.) may be drawn down within 18 months from the first availability date (Tranche C), in each case provided several conditions have been satisfied, including, amongst other things, the execution of the definitive agreements (defined below), the finalization of due diligence to the lender's satisfaction and the project being fully financed. Drawdowns under Tranche A and Tranche B shall be repayable on June 30, 2027 (subject to an automatic extension in certain circumstances); drawdowns under Tranche C shall be repayable on June 30, 2031. Subject to a capitalization option, interest is payable quarterly by the company on the outstanding amount owing under the facility, calculated based on a market rate of interest. The company has also agreed to enter into a binding offtake agreement providing for offtake volumes of up to 100 per cent of commercial production for between seven and nine years or until a minimum aggregate quantity of specified tonnages has been delivered.

Warrants

In addition, the company has agreed to issue a number of warrants equal to 40 per cent of the aggregate amount drawn down under Tranche A and Tranche B. Each warrant shall entitle the lender to acquire one common share at a price of 50 cents per warrant until June 30, 2029, provided the lender may elect a net cash settlement option, which shall be subject to certain payment deferral rights.

The proposed transactions described in the term sheet are arm's length for purposes of the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Completion of the transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) execution of binding definitive documentation, including an agreement governing the facility, guarantees, warrant certificates, the offtake agreement and security documents, each of which will contain customary provisions, representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and indemnities for the transactions; (ii) completion by the lender to its satisfaction, in its sole discretion, of its due diligence; (iii) receipt by the company of all requisite corporate and regulatory approvals, including from the TSX; and (iv) other closing conditions customarily found in transactions similar to the transactions. There can be no guarantees that the transactions will be completed as contemplated or at all. Except as set out below respecting the settlement (defined below), no finders' fees are payable in connection with the transactions.

The company anticipates that Tranche A of the facility will be available to the company in mid-June to late June, 2025, with the definitive agreements for the other transactions to be executed in the coming weeks thereafter.

Shares-for-debt settlement

In connection with the transactions, the company also announces today that it has entered into a settlement agreement dated June 19, 2025, with Heart Capital Group Ltd. in connection with an engagement letter dated March 29, 2025.
