TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Mandalay Resources Corporation ("Mandalay" or the "Company") (TSX: MND, OTCQB: MNDJF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Aftermath Silver Ltd. (“Aftermath”) (TSX-V:AAG.H) in respect of the previously announced transaction in which Aftermath will acquire Minera Mandalay Challacollo Limitada (“MMC”), which currently owns the Challacollo silver-gold project located in Region I (Tarapaca) of Chile (the “Challacollo Project”).
Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, Aftermath will purchase 100% of MMC in exchange for total consideration of up to CAD$10,000,000, consisting of CAD$7,000,000 in non-contingent consideration (the “Non-Contingent Consideration”) plus a 3% net smelter returns royalty on production at the Challacollo Project, capped at CAD$3,000,000.
The Non-Contingent Consideration is payable as follows:
CAD$1,000,000 in cash payable on or before November 19, 2019;
CAD$1,000,000 in cash payable on or before December 30, 2020; and
CAD$5,000,000 (the “Final Payment”) payable on or before April 21, 2021.
The Final Payment will be payable, at Aftermath’s option, in cash or common shares of Aftermath (“Aftermath Shares”). In addition, Aftermath may elect to defer payment of 50% of the Final Payment by one year by increasing the amount of the Final Payment by CAD$500,000 (such that the Final Payment would consist of CAD$2,500,000 payable on or before April 21, 2021 and CAD$3,000,000 payable on or before April 21, 2022).
In connection with the transaction, Aftermath will also assume Mandalay’s existing contingent payment and royalty obligations to SSR Mining with respect to the Challacollo Project under the terms of Mandalay’s acquisition of the Challacollo Project from SSR Mining in December 2013.
Final completion of the transaction (at which time the transfer of ownership of MMC will occur) is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including Mandalay’s receipt of all of the Non-Contingent Consideration. Pending final completion, Aftermath will have the right to conduct certain exploration and drilling activities on the Challacollo Project. Aftermath will be conducting an exploration campaign on existing permitted drill pads as soon as possible.
Dominic Duffy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mandalay, commented, ”We are pleased to see the Aftermath transaction executed and the restart of an exploration campaign on the concession. This transaction continues Mandalay’s objective of creating value from its non-operating assets, with the previously announced transactions at Cerro Bayo and the sale of non-core concessions at Challacollo to a third party, also completed in the last quarter. Mandalay is now well positioned to focus on improving operations at Björkdal and Costerfield with these projects in Chile resolved.”
