Discovery Announces Increase and Extension of Revolving Credit Facility
Discovery Announces Increase and Extension of Revolving Credit Facility
TORONTO, July 31, 2026 -- Discovery Mining Ltd. (TSX: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF) (“ Discovery” or the “Company”) today
announced that it has amended the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ Credit Facility ” or “Facility”),
increasing the total commitments, extending the maturity, improving pricing and enhancing overall financial flexibility. All
amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Under the amended terms, the Credit Facility has been increased to $400 million from $250 million, with the maturity date
being extended to July 30, 2030 from September 15, 2028. The $100 million accordion feature remains unchanged. Improved
pricing for the amended Credit Facility includes an applicable interest rate set at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term
SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum and an applicable margin ranging from 1.875% to 3.00% per
annum, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The amended Facility provides increased financial flexibility, with the
maximum total net leverage ratio covenant being increased and the minimum liquidity covenant being removed.
Tony Makuch, Discovery’s President, CEO and Chairman, commented: “The amended Credit Facility further builds our
financial capacity and flexibility with improved pricing. The additional financial strength we are gaining will benefit us
significantly as we move forward with our extensive growth plans, including more than doubling gold production at our
Porcupine assets, to over half a million ounces per year. In addition, with the recent acquisition of the Kidd operations in
Timmins, we will be investing to grow and expand the Kidd Metallurgical Site to enable the processing of multiple metals,
including gold, and to evaluate a potential longer-term future for the Kidd Creek Mine. We appreciate the support of the
lenders participating in the syndicate and look forward to working with them as we grow and build value for our stakeholders.”
The transaction was supported by a syndicate of lenders with the Bank of Montreal (“ BMO”), acting as administrative agent,
BMO Capital Markets and National Bank of Canada Capital Markets (“ NBCCM”), acting as joint bookrunners, BMO Capital
Markets, NBCCM and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), acting as co-lead arrangers, NBCCM and CIBC acting
as co-syndication agents, and BMO, National Bank of Canada, CIBC, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and
Citibank, N.A., Canadian Branch, acting as lenders.
Standby fees for the undrawn portion of the Credit Facility have been reduced, ranging from 0.422% to 0.675% per annum,
compared to 0.563% to 0.788% per annum under the previous terms. The amended Credit Facility remains secured by certain
of the Company’s assets, supported by guarantees and a pledge of shares from certain material subsidiaries.
ABOUT DISCOVERY
Discovery Mining Ltd. is a growing precious metals company that is creating value for stakeholders through exposure to gold,
silver and other critical minerals. Discovery is advancing plans to more than double annual gold production through investment
in the Company’s Porcupine assets, which include multiple operations, attractive growth projects and significant exploration
upside in one of the world’s most renowned gold camps in and near Timmins, Ontario. The acquisition of the Kidd Operations
in June 2026 further increased Discovery’s land position within the camp, provided valuable infrastructure that will support the
Company’s growing gold business, and added critical minerals to the Company’s current production profile. Discovery’s silver
exposure comes mainly from the 100%-owned Cordero project, one of the world’s largest undeveloped silver deposits, which is
located close to infrastructure in a prolific mining belt in Chihuahua State, Mexico.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors,
