Mineros Evaluates Financing Options to Power Strategic Growth
Mineros Evaluates Financing Options to Power Strategic Growth
MEDELLIN, Colombia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 25, 2025--Mineros S.A. (TSX:MSA,
MINEROS:CB) (“Mineros” or the “Company”), a leading gold producer in Latin America,
announces that its board of directors has instructed management to explore a potential debt
financing transaction to fund growth plans. Mineros is expanding its exploration programs and
wholly owned operations, and the Company has decided to explore alternatives to efficiently
fund such expansion. Despite a 88% rise in Mineros’ share price during 2025, management and
the board continue to see significant upside in the value of the Company, particularly when
compared to similar sized gold-producing peers. Accordingly, management has determined to
explore debt financing options (including bonds and/or loans) offering superior value to
shareholders compared to an equity funding.
In advance of a potential offering, Mineros has engaged with leading credit rating agencies to
provide management an independent assessment of the Company’s financial health and
creditworthiness.
Any such debt financing transaction is subject to applicable market conditions, in addition to
negotiation and execution of definitive documentation in due course. Further details regarding
the financing initiative, if any such initiative is implemented, including the final terms and
timing, will be announced as they become available.
