WESDOME GOLD MINES UPSIZES REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY ON IMPROVED TERMS AND EXTENDS MATURITY

Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. has executed an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders to upsize and extend the maturity of its current secured revolving credit facility by an additional three years to June 19, 2028.

Pursuant to the agreement, the credit facility includes aggregate commitments of $250-million (U.S.) with an additional accordion of $50-million (U.S.) for a total of up to $300-million (U.S.). This represents approximately a twofold increase from Wesdome's current facility, which matures on Aug. 31, 2025.

Anthea Bath, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We sincerely thank our lenders for their continued support and confidence in Wesdome. The substantial increase in our credit facility and the improved terms are a strong endorsement of the quality of our assets and the progress we've made. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on delivering long-term value as a disciplined, value-driven gold producer."

Advances under the credit facility will bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus a margin of 2.25 per cent to 3.25 per cent per annum depending on the company's leverage ratio. The credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, distributions, investments and continuing mine development. The agreement includes standard and customary terms and conditions with respect to fees, representations, warranties and financial covenants.

National Bank Financial Inc. acted as sole lead arranger and bookrunner and Bank of Montreal as syndication agent. The syndicate of lenders was comprised of National Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Federation des Caisses Desjardins du Quebec and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

GenCap Mining Advisory acted as credit adviser to Wesdome with respect to the financing.

The terms and conditions of the credit facility are set out in the agreement that will be filed under the company's profile on SEDAR+.
