LIFE and Non-Brokered Private Placements,
Including Participation by Eric Sprott
Montréal, Québec – November 7, 2025 – Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc. (TSXV: CDPR)
(OTCMKTS: GPPRF) (FRA: N8HP) (BVL: CDPR) (“CDPR” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to
announce that it has closed its previously announced brokered private placement pursuant
to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45 -106 –
Prospectus Exemptions, as modified by Coordinated Blanket Order 45 -935 – Exemptions
from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the “LIFE Offering”) and
its concurrent non- brokered private placement, for combined gross proceeds of
$22,736,139.36.
The LIFE Offering was led by SCP Resource Finance LP and Raymond James Ltd. as co -lead
agents and joint bookrunners, together with a syndicate of agents including Canaccord
Genuity Corp. and CIBC World Markets Inc. ( collectively, the “ Agents”) and consisted of
31,246,207 units of the Corporation (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.48 per Unit (the “Offering
Price”) for gross proceeds of $ 14,998,179.36, completed on a commercially reasonable
efforts basis. The concurrent non- brokered private placement comprised 16,120,750 Units
at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of $7,737,960 .00 (the “ Concurrent
Offering”, a n d together with the LIFE Offering, the “Offering”).
Guy Goulet, Chief Executive Officer of Cerro de Pasco Resources, commented:
“With the completion of this financing, Cerro de Pasco is in a stronger financial position to
advance the Quiulacocha Project through the full feasibility stage and toward pre-
construction readiness. Our immediate focus is on executing the technical, environmental,
and engineering programs that will define the project’s design and secure the highest
standards of performance and sustainability. This additional capital reinforces our
commitment to transforming the historic Cerro de Pasco district into a model of responsible
resource development and long-term value creation. ”
Each Unit consists of (i) one common share in the capital of the Corporation (a “ Common
Share”) and (ii) one -half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a
“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles its holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a
price of $0. 68 until November 7, 2027 , subject to a restriction on exercise expiring 61 days
from the date hereof.
In consideration for their services, the Agents received a cash fee of $899,620.76 and were
issued a total of 1,874,772 broker warrants (each a “Broker Warrant”). Each Broker Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one Unit at the Offering Price for a period of 24 months from
the closing date.
The Corporation also paid a total of $17,337.60 and issued 36,120 Broker Warrants to arm’s
length third parties in consideration for their services under the Concurrent Offering.
The Corporation is also pleased to report that Mr. Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd.,
participated in the Offering for 8,333,333 Units, representing an investment of approximately
$4,000,000. Mr. Sprott has participated in each of Cerro de Pasco’s offerings since becoming
a significant shareholder and insider.
As a result , the Offering is considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of
Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions ("MI 61 -101"). The Corporation relied on the exemptions from the formal
valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections
5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61 -101 in respect of related party participation in the Offering as
neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the
fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, exceeds 25% of the Corporation's
market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). The Corporation did not file a material
change report in respect of this transaction at least 21 days before the anticipated closing of
the Offering, as details of such transaction were unknown at such time.
There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the
Corporation’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Corporation website at

The securities issuable from the sale of Units pursuant to the LIFE Offering are immediately
freely tradeable and are not subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities
laws. The securities issued under the Concurrent Offering are subject to a statutory hold
period expiring on March 8, 2026.
The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to advance technical,
environmental and engineering work required for the feasibility stage of the Quiulacocha
Tailings Project, in addition to general corporate purposes. The Corporation continues to
carry out technical, environmental, and engineering work at the Quiulacocha Tailings Project
in line with its current permits. In parallel, the Corporation is advancing preparations for the
next stage of activities that will require additional regulatory authorizations. Discussions with
the relevant authorities are ongoing, and the Corporation remains focused on progressing the
necessary steps to enable a seamless transition into the next phase of project development.
