~GSilver on Track to Close US$15.3M Debt and Equity Financing~
~Funding Acquisition of Three Mexican Silver Mines Proceeding on Schedule~
July 18, 2022 / Vancouver, British Columbia - Guanajuato Silver Company Ltd. (the "Company" or "GSilver")
(TSXV:GSVR) reports that as of July 15, 2022 it has received subscriptions totaling approximately US$10.3M
(C$13.3M) towards its equity financing of subscription receipts (the “Equity Financing”) announced on June 29,
2022 – “GSilver to Acquire 100% of Great Panther’s Mexican Mining Assets”; and July 7, 2022 – “GSilver Increases
Debt and Equity Financing Package to US$15.3M.”
Funds Received:
Of such subscriptions, wire transfers totaling approximately US$7.1M are currently being held in escrow by the
Company pending closing. The balance of the Equity Financing - approximately US$3.2M - is expected to settle on
July 21 2022, as announced and as per GSilver’s mantra – “on track, on time, on budget”.
• James Anderson, Chairman & CEO, said, “The oversubscription of our brokered private placement is a
major endorsement of the quality of the assets that we are purchasing and the ability of our operations
team to execute. We look forward to closing the acquisition of Great Panther Mining’s Mexican assets and
getting to work on building Guanajuato Silver into a mid-tier precious metals producer.”
Debt Component:
In conjunction with the Equity Financing, GSilver has also signed a concentrate pre-payment facility term sheet
(the "OP Facility") with Ocean Partners (UK), a metals off-take and trading firm, to provide US$5.0M of financing
towards the purchase price of Great Panther Mining’s Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mexicana Rosario S.A. de C.V.
(“MMR”), and general corporate and working capital purposes. The OP Facility will be for a term of 24-months,
secured by a share pledge over MMR and repayable over a period of 21-months following a three-month grace
period. Interest on the OP Facility will be calculated at 12-month LIBOR + 7.5%. Closing of the OP Facility will occur
concurrently with the acquisition of MMR (the “MMR Acquisition”).
Upon closing, the gross proceeds of the Equity Financing, less 50% of the Agents' cash commission, will be
deposited in escrow pending satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions including the concurrent closing of
the MMR Acquisition and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"); the Company expects to close
the MMR Acquisition within the next three weeks.
All securities issuable in connection with the MMR Acquisition, the Equity Financing and the OP Facility as
previously announced will be subject to a statutory hold period of 4 months and one day from the date of issue.
There are no assurances that the MMR Acquisition, the Equity Financing and the OP Facility, which remain subject
to TSXV approval, will be completed on the terms contemplated by the Company or at all.

The Company also announces that its Board of Directors has approved the granting of 5,975,000 stock options,

including 3,450,000 options to officers and directors of the Company. The options, which shall vest over a two-
