Aurania Announces Preliminary Election Results and Loan Agreement

16.10.2023  |  Newsfile

Toronto, October 16, 2023 - Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (FSE: 20Q) ("Aurania" or the "Company") announces that Mr. Daniel Noboa is the elected President of Ecuador following a runoff election held on October 15th. Mr. Noboa is a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy school and is expected to be sworn in on November 25. He will be in power for approximately 18 months - completing the term of outgoing President, Guillermo Lasso until the next scheduled presidential election in the first half of 2025. Noboa's campaign was focused on the economy and creating jobs, attracting foreign investment and safety/security. It is the Company's view that this result may restore political stability and the confidence of international investors in the country. Mr. Noboa is also expected to be supportive of responsible exploration and mining.

The Company also announces that its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Keith Barron (the "Lender") has agreed to provide a loan of up to C$1,000,000 to the Company to be advanced from time to time in principal amounts as agreed by the parties (the "Loan").

The Loan is unsecured, bears interest at 2% per annum and matures upon notice of twelve months and one day from the Lender. The Loan will help fund the Company's working capital and general corporate purposes as well as any exploration expenses in Ecuador. As of the date hereof, C$50,000 has been advanced under the Loan.

Dr. Keith Barron is a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he is the Chairman, the President and Chief Executive Officer, a promoter and a principal shareholder of the Company, and as a result, each advance and repayment under the Loan constitutes a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying upon an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in respect of the Related Party Transactions, in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the Related Party Transaction, collectively, does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report related to the Loan more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Loan as required by MI 61-101, as the Company wished to organize the Loan on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

The Loan was approved by the members of the board of directors of the Company who are independent for purposes of the related party transaction, being all directors other than Dr. Barron. No special committee was established in connection with the Loan, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.
