CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2024 / PPX Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "PPX", including its Peruvian subsidiaries) is pleased to announce that it closed the first tranche of the construction facility (the "Loan") provided by its major shareholder and received gross proceeds of US$1,800,000.

On September 19, 2024, PPX received its final construction permit to start building a 350 tpd CIL and Flotation plant at the Igor Project, La Libertad, Peru. The plant will process the oxide and sulphide materials mined from the Callanquitas Mine. This permit was the only pending condition precedent to access the US$6,000,000 Loan arranged for construction purposes, as announced by the Company in its press release dated January 2, 2024.

The key terms of this Loan are as follows:

• US$6,000,000 total debt facility to be disbursed in 4 tranches.

• 11.75% annual interest rate.

• 1.5 years grace period, paying only interest, to cover the construction and commissioning periods.

• 3 years principal amortization period, following the grace period.

• The facility will be administered through a trust structure that will guarantee the repayment of the loan obligations. In addition, other trusts will be established to ensure the construction funding flow and to protect the surface rights and shares of the Peruvian subsidiary holding the construction and processing permits.

• Total and partial prepayments are authorized with no penalties.

• A 3% finder's fee in shares of PPX is payable to an arm's length finder, as compensation for facilitating the Loan. The common shares issuable to the finder will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Loan and the finder's fee remain subject to the final approval of the TSXV.

Brian Imrie, Chairman commented "We are grateful to receive the first tranche of the construction facility arranged with our major shareholder, a clear supporter of the project, who granted this facility at attractive terms to the Company. Management expects to finalize in the following days an agreement with the construction company that will assist PPX with plant construction."

The creditor of the Loan is a control person of the Company. Accordingly, the Loan constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the requirement to obtain minority shareholder approval in connection with the Loan in reliance on the exemption contained in section 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101, as the Company has determined that the Loan contains reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Loan was obtained from an arm's length party, and the Loan is not convertible or repayable as to principal or interest, directly or indirectly, in equity or voting securities of the Company or its subsidiaries. The formal valuation requirements are not applicable to the Loan pursuant to section 5.4(1) of MI 61-101. The board of directors of the Company approved the Loan and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.
