MINEROS COMPLETES SALE OF THE GUALCAMAYO PROPERTY

On Sept. 21, 2023, Mineros SA closed the previously announced sale of its non-core Gualcamayo property to Eris LLC. (All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.)

The transaction was structured as the sale to the purchaser by certain subsidiaries of Mineros of all of the outstanding shares of Minas Argentinas SA pursuant to a share purchase and sale agreement dated Sept. 7, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement: (i) the purchaser assumed all obligations of MASA existing as at the closing date of the transaction, and Mineros paid $6.5-million to the purchaser to cover a portion of those obligations; and (ii) the purchaser assumed all of the obligations of Mineros and its subsidiaries with respect to a $30-million contingent payment that would become payable to Nomad Royalty Company Ltd. (a subsidiary of Sandstorm Gold Ltd.) should the Deep Carbonates project, an exploration project located on the Gualcamayo property, ever be put into production.

As a result of the transaction, the company expects to incur one-time non-cash costs of between $38-million to $41-million in the third quarter of 2023.

Updated guidance

Based on the sale of the Gualcamayo property, Mineros is revising its 2023 consolidated production and cost guidance, as provided in the company's management's discussion and analysis for the three months and year ended Dec. 31, 2022, dated Feb. 17, 2022.
