Denarius Metals Announces Consent Solicitation Process to Amend Terms of Its Convertible Unsecured Debentures

Toronto, December 2, 2024 - Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals" or the "Company") announced today that it has commenced a consent solicitation process to approve certain amendments (the "Amendments") to the trust indentures for its convertible unsecured debentures. The Company has an aggregate principal amount of CA$19.3 million of convertible unsecured debentures issued and outstanding under a trust indenture dated October 19, 2023, as amended and supplemented on October 31, 2023 (together, the " 2023 Indenture") and an aggregate principal amount of CA$13.8 million of convertible unsecured debentures issued and outstanding under a trust indenture dated May 30, 2024, as amended and supplemented on June 25, 2024 (together, the " 2024 Indenture").

The proposed Amendments, if approved and implemented, to the 2023 Indenture and the 2024 Indenture include:

2023 Indenture:

• delaying the commencement of the Gold Premium Payment (as defined in the 2023 Indenture) from January 31, 2025 to January 31, 2026; and
• extending the Maturity Date (as defined in the 2023 Indenture) of the debentures from October 19, 2028 to October 19, 2029.

2024 Indenture:

• delaying the commencement of the Gold Premium Payment (as defined in the 2024 Indenture) from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026; and
• extending the Maturity Date (as defined in the 2024 Indenture) of the debentures from May 30, 2029 to May 30, 2030.

Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman and CEO, commented, "While we are optimistic we will soon receive approval of the Zancudo Project's environmental impact study ("EIS"), the Amendments are designed to respond to the significant adverse impact of the extended delays to date to receive the EIS approval on the timing for the startup of the project's mining operations. The Amendments recognize that the Company will require some time after receiving the EIS approval to ramp up mining operations at the Zancudo Project. The Amendments will align funding for the gold premium payments, as applicable, with the operating cash flow to be generated by production from the Zancudo Project following the initial ramp up period and maintain the Company's financial stability during Zancudo's ramp up period, including its ability to meet its financial obligations as they come due. In addition, the Amendments will continue to provide the holders of the debentures with the potential for superior returns through the monthly interest payments, the quarterly gold premiums and convertibility of the debentures into shares of the Company."

To make the Amendments, the Company requires the written consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total outstanding principal amount of debentures issued under each of the 2023 Indenture and the 2024 Indenture. Materials related to the consent solicitation process are being disseminated to holders of the debentures commencing today. The Company is relying on Cboe Canada's exemption pursuant to section 10.09(2) of its listing manual allowing the Company to satisfy the approval requirement by obtaining a written resolution. The documents can also be found on the Company's website at www.denariusmetals.com and by reviewing its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The deadline to respond in the consent solicitation process is December 18, 2024, unless extended by the Company at its sole discretion.

Holders of the debentures who respond to the solicitation and consent to the Amendments will receive a consent fee equal to two percent (2%) of the number of debentures they hold. Consent fees will be satisfied through the issuance of additional debentures and will not be paid in cash. Holders of the debentures who do not respond to the solicitation or approve the Amendments will not receive payment of such fee from the Company even though the supplemental indentures will be binding on them if the Amendments become effective. Pursuant to the consent solicitation process, directors and management of the Company, including Mr. Serafino Iacono (Executive Chairman and CEO), Mr. Michael Davies (Chief Financial Officer), Mr. Federico Restrepo-Solano (Director and COO) and Ms. Amanda Fullerton (General Counsel and Secretary), have indicated their intention to approve the Amendments and, as such, will receive consent fees totaling CA$168,160 if the Amendments become effective. All debentures issued as a consent fee will be subject to a statutory four month hold period.
