Almadex Announces Early Repayment of Gold Loan
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. (“Almadex” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: “DEX”) announces that
Almaden Minerals Ltd. (“ Almaden”) has notified the Company of the early repayment of the outstanding
gold loan pursuant to the secured gold loan agreement, as amended (“Gold Loan”), between Almaden and
the Company (see press releases dated June 27, 2024 and May 14, 2019).
Under the terms of the Gold Loan, the “Gold Loan Value” was fixed as of May 13, 2025 and the outstanding
loan balance (including accrued interest and standby fees) determined to be USD$5,194,354 (the “ Loan
Amount”). Almaden will repay the Loan Amount by physical delivery of gold bullion of 99.99% purity to the
Company. The delivery of gold shall be completed after Almaden receives the final payment on the sale of
its Rock Creek mill (the “ Mill”) to Metals Exploration PLC pursuant to the purchase agreement dated
February 28, 2025 (see press release of Almaden dated March 3, 2025), which is expected to be on or
before August 31, 2025 (the “Settlement Date”). The amount of gold (the “Borrowed Gold”) to be delivered
by Almaden will be determined based on the prevailing London Bullion Market Association AM gold price
in U.S. dollars on the business day prior to the Settlement Date. In addition to the Borrowed Gold, Almaden
will return the undrawn portion of the Gold Loan, consisting of 397 ounces of gold bullion.
The Loan Amount is secured by a security interest and first lien on certain equipment related to the Mill
(collectively, the “ Security”). Upon repayment of the Loan Amount by Almaden to the Company , the
Security shall be deemed fully released and discharged.
