PPX Signs Definitive Agreement with Silver Crown Royalties

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 16, 2024 / PPX Mining Corp. (TSXV:PPX.V)(BVL:PPX) (the "Company" or "PPX") is pleased to announce the signing of a definitive silver royalty agreement (the "Agreement") with Silver Crown Royalties Inc. (CBOE:SCRI)(OTCQX:SLCRF)(FRA:QS0) ("SCRi") last Friday December 13, 2024.

The Agreement contemplates the sale of a royalty (the "Royalty") for up to 15% of the cash equivalent of silver produced from PPX's Mina Callanquitas at its Igor 4 mining concession, located in La Libertad, Peru (the "Project"), less customary deductions, for aggregate proceeds of US$ 2,470,000.

The first tranche of US$ 1,000,000 is to be paid on closing ("Closing"), which is expected to occur in early 2025, with the second tranche of US$1,470,000 (the "Second Tranche") to be paid within six months of Closing. Upon Closing, SCRi will be granted a Royalty for 6% of the cash equivalent of silver produced from the Project, which will automatically be increased to 15% upon completion of the Second Tranche. If the Second Tranche is not completed within 6 months of Closing, PPX will have the right to repurchase the royalty for US$ 1,000,000, less any Royalty payments made to date. The Royalty will be payable immediately, based on current operations at the Project and will provide for minimum deliveries of the cash equivalent of 14,062.5 ounces of silver per quarter up to a total of 225,000 ounces. Minimum deliveries will be applicable the earlier of: a) October 1, 2025; and b) the startup of metallurgical operations at the beneficiation plant, currently under construction. Upon the delivery of the cash equivalent of 225,000 ounces of silver to SCRi, the silver royalty will automatically terminate.

John Thomas, CEO commented, "We welcome SCRi's funding. It will support construction activities at site, as well as other working capital requirements during this critical and transformational period for the Company."
