Star Metro - Silver X Announces Loan Agreement & Management Update

The loan provided to Recuperada S.A.C. ("Recuperada"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Silver X, will be used for capital expenditures and working capital. Under the loan facility an amount of up to US$1.4 million is available to Recuperada with a tenor of up to 25 months. Interest payable to Trafigura is based on the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 6% per annum.

As part of the loan facility, Silver X will also issue a loan bonus of 1,500,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company to an affiliate of Trafigura, Urion Holdings (Malta) Limited. The Warrants are subject to a hold period, under Canadian securities laws, expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance, exercisable for an equivalent of common shares for a period of 25 months at a 25% premium to the 20-day VWAP of Silver X's shares on the TSX.V as of the day before announcing the signing date. The loan facility agreement and issuance of the Warrants is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
