Torex Gold Announces Acquisition of Reyna Silver

Torex Gold Resources Inc. (TSX: TXG) announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Reyna Silver Corp. (TSX-V: RSLV) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Reyna Silver (other than Shares held by Torex) pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement for an all cash consideration of approximately US$26 million ($36 million) based on an offer price of $0.13 per Share.

Jody Kuzenko, President and CEO of Torex, stated:

“The acquisition of Reyna Silver provides Torex with immediate access to new and exciting early-stage exploration projects within prolific mining camps in northern Mexico and Nevada, consistent with our strategy to create a diversified, Americas-focused precious metals producer built on a portfolio of quality assets, including exploration and development stage projects and producing mines.

“Through the acquisition, Torex will acquire direct ownership in a suite of highly prospective exploration projects located in Mexico, with the most advanced being the Batopilas and Guigui projects in Chihuahua. The acquisition also provides Torex with the option to acquire an initial 70% interest in the prospective Gryphon Summit (located at the southern end of the Carlin-trend) and a 100% interest in the Medicine Springs projects in Nevada.

“With the technical expertise and breadth of our exploration team, proven capability to deliver on major projects with the recent completion and commissioning of our Media Luna Project, and anticipated robust free cash flow generation as Media Luna ramps up operations, we are well-positioned to advance Reyna Silver’s properties and unlock the full value of these four projects. Upon closing, Torex plans to build off the exploration and drilling programs undertaken by Reyna Silver at both Mexican assets as well as undertake a thorough evaluation of the potential of the properties in Nevada. In so doing, Torex will leverage the same systems-based approach established at Morelos that has delivered significant resource and reserve growth over the last few years.”

 

TRANSACTION SUMMARY

The Transaction will be completed pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act(British Columbia), requiring the approval of at least: (i) 66⅔% of the votes cast by shareholders of Reyna Silver; (ii) 66⅔% of the votes cast by shareholders of Reyna Silver and the holders of warrants, options and restricted share units voting together as a single class; and (iii) 50% of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders, at a special meeting of Reyna Silver securityholders that will be called to consider the Transaction.

In addition to securityholder and court approvals, the Transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals including, but not limited to, TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) approval and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. The Arrangement Agreement contains customary provisions including non-solicitation, “fiduciary out” and “right to match” provisions. The Arrangement Agreement will be made available on Reyna Silver’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and full details of the Transaction will be included in the meeting materials to be prepared by Reyna Silver in connection with the special meeting of securityholders. The special meeting is expected to be held in August 2025 and the Transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter.

The Transaction has the support of management and the Board of Directors of Reyna Silver, as directors and executive officers of Reyna Silver, who collectively hold approximately 7.7% of the outstanding Shares and approximately 10.8% of the outstanding Shares, warrants, stock options and RSUs collectively, entered into voting support agreements with Torex to support the Transaction.

The Arrangement Agreement was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of each of Torex and Reyna Silver, and Reyna Silver’s Board of Directors recommends that their securityholders vote in favour of the Transaction.

The Board of Directors of Reyna Silver received an opinion from Evans & Evans, Inc., a financial advisory firm, that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated in such opinion, the consideration to be paid under the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to Reyna Silver shareholders (other than Torex).

 

INVESTMENT IN REYNA SILVER

In connection with the Transaction, Torex agreed to purchase units of Reyna Silver for a total investment of $1.1 million in a non-brokered private placement that was agreed to concurrently with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement.

Reyna Silver agreed to use the proceeds of the Private Placement as prescribed and agreed to with Torex and as required by the Arrangement Agreement.

The price of each Unit to be issued under the Private Placement will be equal to the market price of the Shares following announcement of the Transaction, less a 25% discount, and each Unit will be comprised of one Share and one common share purchase warrant. Each Purchaser Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Share at the price to be paid under the Transaction for a period of one year, provided that if the exercise price is lower than the market price of the Shares following announcement of the Transaction, it shall be automatically adjusted upwards to the market price.

Closing of the Private Placement is subject to approval of the TSX-V and is expected to close the business day following receipt of such approval. Until closing of the Private Placement, Torex will not own any Shares or other securities of Reyna Silver.
