Southern Silver Reports on Equity Raise and Announces Additional C$4 Million Equity Raise

 

 

 

 

 

Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSX-V:SSV) reports that the previously announced brokered offering of subscription receipts to be issued at the price of C$0.20 per Subscription Receipt, has been fully subscribed for aggregate gross proceeds of C$10,000,000 and it is anticipated to close on or about July 31, 2020.

 

In conjunction with a previously announced Transaction (as defined below) to acquire an additional 60% indirect working interest (for a 100% indirect ownership) in the Company’s flagship Cerro Las Minitas project and the previously announced brokered offering of Subscription Receipts, the Company plans to now issue an additional 19,047,620 subscription receipts of the Company on a non-brokered private placement basis at the price of C$0.21 per Additional Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to C$4,000,000. Each Additional Subscription Receipt shall be exchangeable, for no additional consideration, into one unit of the Company upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each full warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at a price of C$0.28 during the first year, increasing to C$0.33 in year two and C$0.38 in year three following the closing date of the Offering. The Additional Subscription Receipts will otherwise be identical to the Subscription Receipts to be issued under the brokered offering of Subscription Receipts.

 

The net proceeds raised under the Offering will be used to fund the cash payment for the Transaction and for general working capital purposes.

 

The common shares and warrants issuable upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions will be subject to certain resale restrictions, including a restricted period of four months and one day following the Closing Date, under applicable Canadian securities legislation, and any securities issued to U.S. purchasers will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 of the U.S. Securities Act. Purchasers are advised to consult their own legal advisors in this regard.

 

The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals of the TSX Venture Exchange. Finders’ fees may be paid by Southern Silver in relation to this Offering.

 

Transaction

 

The Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Electrum Global Holdings L.P. to acquire Electrum’s 60% ownership interest in Southern Silver Holdings Limited for current and future cash and share payments totaling US$15.0 million. SSHL is a holding company that wholly owns Minera Plata del Sur S.A. de C.V. MPS holds title to the Cerro Las Minitas property in Durango State, Mexico. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Transaction. The conditions of the closing of the Transaction are as follows:

 

  1. on the closing date of the Transaction, the payment by the Company to Electrum of US$5,000,000 in cash and the issue and delivery of US$2,000,000 (adjusted by a credit of C$1,350,000 paid on execution of the definitive agreement), in common shares of the Company;
  2. receipt of the approval of the Company’s shareholders; and

iii. receipt of all required approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange as well as all other relevant regulatory bodies.
