Gatos Silver Extinguishes Its Los Gatos Joint Venture Debt Obligation

26.07.2021  |  Business Wire

Gatos Silver Inc. (NYSE/TSX: GATO) ("Gatos Silver" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its 70%-owned Los Gatos Joint Venture ("LGJV") has repaid its Term Loan ("Term Loan") effective July 26, 2021. Gatos Silver's attributable portion of the Term Loan retirement and related costs was approximately $155.9 million.

Gatos Silver's portion of the Term Loan retirement was funded with proceeds from the recently completed public offering, available cash on hand and $13 million borrowed under Gatos Silver's Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan retirement greatly fortifies Gatos Silver's balance sheet by eliminating significant annual interest, at least $31 million of annual principal payments and removing a requirement for approximately $50 million to be held as cash reserves under the Term Loan.

Stephen Orr, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The retirement of the LGJV Term Loan is a major milestone in Gatos Silver's path of creating substantial shareholder value since the Company's IPO in October 2020. With the Cerro Los Gatos ('CLG') mine and processing facility now operating above design capacity, record-breaking production was achieved in the second quarter. CLG is now generating strong cash flows to fund additional performance improvement initiatives and exploration at the Company's vast and highly prospective property positions in Mexico."

About Gatos Silver

Gatos Silver is a silver dominant exploration, development and production company that discovered a new silver and zinc-rich mineral district in southern Chihuahua State, Mexico. To-date, 14 zones of mineralization have been defined within the district and all are characterized by silver-zinc-lead epithermal mineralization. More than 85% of the approximately 103,087-hectare mineral rights package has yet to be drilled, representing a highly prospective and under-explored district. As a 70%-owner of the LGJV, the Company recently built and commissioned its first operating mine and mineral processing plant at the LGJV's CLG deposit.
