The lender under the facility is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Mercuria Energy Group Limited (\u201c<strong>Mercuria<\/strong>\u201d). The financing is in the form of a secured term loan (\u201c<strong>Term Loan<\/strong>\u201d). Mercuria also provided the Revenue Mine with a hedging program against approximately 29% of its anticipated silver production profile over the ensuing five years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Material terms of the Term Loan include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Senior security on the Revenue Mine with a corporate guarantee from Aurcana<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">USD$28 million financing disbursed as a lump sum at Closing<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">60 month term, with a 12 month grace period with equal quarterly amortization thereafter; repayable in full at any time with a minimum 12 month interest make whole.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Interest rate of USD 3M LIBOR + 10.5% after three (3) consecutive months of production in excess of 400 wet tons per month of lead concentrate (the target run rate under the 2018 feasibility study); USD 3M LIBOR + 14% until that time.

The term of the Offtake Agreement matches that of the Term Loan, and it is structured to allow for annual renewal thereafter by mutual consent.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Kevin Drover, CEO of Aurcana commented \u201cThis financing is a transformational step for Aurcana, allowing us to proceed with the long anticipated restart of full operations at the Revenue Mine. The Board has formally approved the restart decision. We appreciate the efforts of everyone including Mercuria to get this financing closed and look forward to our ongoing partnership with them. We are also excited to have selected the prominent trading firm Trafigura as our offtake partner. These events are the realization of our vision when we completed the reverse-takeover of OSMI in 2018, and this is an exciting day for Aurcana and our team at the Revenue Mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company has continued to progress the pre-development activities at the Revenue Mine in anticipation of the Closing and believes it is well positioned to be in production in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> quarter of calendar 2021, consistent with the Company\u2019s forecast pursuant to the 2018 feasibility study (the \u201c2018 FS\u201d) prepared in accordance with National Instrument NI 43-101 \u2013 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (\u201cNI 43-101\u201d).
