Liberty Silver Corp. Announces Closing of US$1,210,000 Loan Facility

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov 14, 2013) - Liberty Silver Corp. (TSX:LSL) ("Liberty" or the "Company") today announced that, further to its news release of October 4, 2013, it has entered into an agreement in relation to a US$1,000,000 principal amount secured loan facility which has been increased to a principal amount of US$1,210,000 (the "Loan") to be made available by BG Capital Group Ltd. ("BG").

The Loan consists of up to US$1,110,000 of new credit facilities along with an additional US$100,000 that will be used to repay the amount remaining outstanding under unsecured promissory notes previously issued to BG by Liberty subsequent to the signing of the letter of intent relating to the Loan. The Company intends to use the funds from the Loan for general working capital purposes, thereby affording the Company more time to secure longer term financing for the Trinity Silver Project.

"The Loan will allow us to advance operations while we consider alternatives for more enduring sources of financing," stated Tim Unwin, Chairman of the board of directors of Liberty.

The key terms of the Loan are as follows:

• a total amount of up to US$1,210,000 is being advanced to Liberty, of which US$100,000 was previously advanced by way of promissory notes subsequent to the signing of the letter of intent relating to the Loan (which promissory notes are superseded by the Loan), US$202,500 was advanced upon closing of the Loan today (the "Closing Date"), and up to US$302,500 will be advanced on each of December 31, 2013, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014;
  
  
• the outstanding principal amount bears interest at 11% per annum from date of advance and becomes due and payable in its entirety one year following the Closing Date (the "Maturity Date"). The Company has the option to extend the Maturity Date by six months, with interest payable at 15% per annum accruing on the outstanding principal amount during such extension period;
  
  
• the Loan is secured by a charge on all of the assets of the Company; and
  
  
• subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval, if Liberty completes an arm's length equity financing of US$500,000 or more at a price of not less than US$0.50 per common share of Liberty (each, a "Share"), Liberty may require BG to convert the outstanding principal and interest amount of the Loan into equity of Liberty on the same terms and conditions as the equity financing.
  

The lender pursuant to the Loan is BG. BG and certain of its related parties own 8,609,853 Shares and 6,500,000 Share purchase warrants, with each such warrant entitling BG to acquire one Share for US$0.65 until December 31, 2013 (the "Warrants"). As a condition of the Loan, BG has consented to the termination of the Warrants for no further consideration. Accordingly, following the closing of the loan facility transaction, BG now owns, directly and indirectly, 8,609,853 shares representing approximately 10.3% of the Company's 83,991,945 issued and outstanding Shares. Other than pursuant to the Loan, the Company does not have any contractual or other relationship with BG.

As BG owns, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares, BG is a "related party" of the Company and the Loan constitutes a "related party transaction" as such terms are defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Therefore, in the absence of exemptions, the Company would be required to obtain a formal valuation for, and minority shareholder approval of, the "related party transaction". Liberty is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to which such steps are not required in the event that the issuer is in serious financial difficulty and the transaction is designed to improve the financial condition of the issuer. The board of directors of the Company, all of whom are independent of BG and its affiliates, have determined, acting in good faith, that given Liberty's present circumstances, the terms of the Loan are reasonable and Liberty is eligible for these formal valuation and minority approval exemptions from MI 61-101.
