Vancouver, B.C., April 20, 2022 - SILVER X MINING CORP. (TSX-V:AGX) (OTCQB: AGXPF)
("Silver X" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Silver X board of directors (the "Board")
has approved the settlement of US$4,198,356.16 (CAD$5,285,310.58) of debt (the "Debt Settlement")
through the issuance of common shares of the Company (the "Shares"). Pursuant to the Debt Settlement,
Silver X will issue 17,617,701 Shares at a deemed price of $0.30 per Share to Baker Steel Resources
Trust Limited ("Baker Steel").
In 2022, Silver X has made significant progress towards becoming one of the few public producing silver
juniors. The completion of the Nueva Recuperada processing plant expansion and continued positive
mine development results have built a strong foundation for robust growth over the remainder of the
year. The Debt Settlement which, when completed, will remove the totality of Silver X’s debt to Baker
Steel and secure the addition of Baker Steel as a key institutional partner is a testament to our view of
the potential of the Recuperada district.
José Garcia, Silver X CEO commented: “We are excited to have the continued support of Baker Steel ,
and for them to agree to strengthen their equity position in the Company. This transaction , when
completed, will significantly improve our balance sheet (by removing the biggest dilutive instrument
overhanging from our capital structure) and will also secure a strong institutional partner in Baker Steel.
Their support demonstrates the potential of our Nueva Recuperada project that we will continue to
advance as we grow one of the few publicly listed emerging silver producers”.
Francis Johnstone, member of Baker Steel’s investment committee commented: "When we visited Peru
in 2019 and made our investment, we could envisage the potential of the Nueva Recuperada project.
Given the recent progress, we can see that potential starting to be reali zed and are therefore happy to
exchange our debt for equity in Silver X and share in the progression of the company over a longer term."
Baker Steel, who holds a US$4 million unsecured convertible debenture maturing on June 21, 2022 (the
"Debenture"), will be paid the entire outstanding principal amount of the Debent ure in the amount of
US$4 million, accrued interest to April 10, 2022 in the amount of US$109,589.04 and a prepayment fee
of US$88,767.12 as consideration for the right to repay the Debenture in Shares prior to the maturity
date, by way of the issuance of a total of 17,617,701 Shares. The Debt Settlement and issuance of the
Shares to Baker Steel remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (" TSXV"). Upon
closing of the Debt Settlement, Baker Steel will have beneficial ownership of, or control or direction
over, directly or indirectly, 19,502,695 Shares or 13.89% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Silver X
