- The Facility will be settled through agreed deductions from the payments received for each shipment;
- Transamine has agreed to pay for copper concentrates at a price based on the prevailing metal prices for the copper and silver content around the time of shipment, less any applicable deductions, all pursuant to the terms of the prevailing offtake agreements;
- EMED Marketing has the option to extend the contract, with the same terms, for an additional US$ 14 million provided certain production conditions have been met and the first US$ 14 million have been settled.
