• interest at the specified rate on the outstanding Principal Sum at that month; plus
• 70% of the monthly free cash flow generated by Telson; plus
• any monthly excess cash balance above US$500,000.
Telson was able to make the partial payment of US$8 million from proceeds of concentrate sales recently
received from Trafigura Mexico SA de CV (“Trafigura”) . Telson will provide additional information res pecting
the bulk payment from Trafigura shortly.
Sr. Jose Antonio Berlanga , Telson’s CEO stated: “We would like to thank Nyrstar for their good faith
negotiations, continued support and cooperation in reaching a mutually agreeable extension and loan
agreement. By renegotiating and extending the final payment terms for the Campo Morado acquisition w e
are extremely pleased to once again protect our shareholders by avoiding the immediate need to raise equity
funding in what we consider an undervalued market. With the recent declaration of Commercial Production
at Campo Morado we are very confident our free cash flows will easily support the loan repayment terms.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Production Decisions and Forward-Looking Statements
It should be noted that Telson has declare d commercial production at Campo Morado prior to completing a
feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, readers should be
cautioned that Telson’s production decision has been made without a comprehensive feasibility study of established
reserves such that there is greater risk and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Campo Morado mine
and a higher technical risk of failure than would be the case if a feasibility study was completed and relied upon to
make a production decision. Telson has completed a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) mining study on the
Campo Morado mine that provides a conceptual life of mine plan and a preliminary economic analysis based on
the previously identified mineral resources (see News Release dated November 8, 2017 and April 4, 2018). This will
soon be replaced by a pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) that will allow the application of modifying factors to the mineral
resources to allow a portion of them to be converted to mineral reserves.
