Medellin, Colombia – November 12, 2021 – Mineros S.A. (MINEROS:CB) (“Mineros” or the
“Company”) announced today that it has filed its final prospectus with the securities regulatory
authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, and obtained a receipt therefor in
respect of its initial public offering (the “Canadian Offering”) from treasury of 22,222,223 of its
common shares (“Common Shares”) at a price of US$0.90 (being C$1.1207) per Common Share
(the “Offering Price”), for total gross proceeds of approximately US$20 million (being
approximately C$24,904,000). A copy of the final prospectus in respect of the Canadian Offering
is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Canadian Offering is made through Scotiabank and Sprott Capital Partners LP as co-lead
underwriters and joint bookrunners (together, the “Underwriters”). Mineros and the Underwriters
have entered into an underwriting agreement in connection with the Canadian Offering pursuant
to which, among other things, the Company has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment
option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of the closing of the Canadian Offering,
to purchase up to an additional 3,333,334 Common Shares at the Offering Price for additional
gross proceeds of up to approximately US$3,000,000 to the Company if the over-allotment option
is exercised in full.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about November 19, 2021 (the “Closing
Date”) and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals. Mineros has received conditional listing approval from the Toronto Stock
Exchange (the “TSX”) for the listing of the Common Shares being issued and sold pursuant to the
Offering, and for its other subscribed Common Shares. Listing remains subject to Mineros fulfilling
all of the requirements of the TSX on or before December 15, 2021. The Common Shares are
expected to commence trading on the TSX under the symbol “MSA” on the Closing Date.
Mineros also announces that on September 17, 2021, Mineros filed with the Colombian
Superintendence of Finance a prospectus in respect of its concurrent public offering in Colombia
of Common Shares at the Offering Price per Common Share for gross proceeds of US$10 million
(the “Colombian Offering”) and an over-allotment option of up to US$1.5 million. The Colombian
Offering was authorized by the Superintendency of Finance by Resolution 1292 dated as of
November 4, 2021. The Colombian Offering is being made through Corredores Davivienda S.A.,
Comisionista de Bolsa, as underwriter. The Colombian Offering is expected to close on or about
the Closing Date.
The Common Shares have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933 (the U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the
Common Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States unless an exemption from the
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act is available and such offer or sale is made in
compliance with any applicable state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in
any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Completion of the Canadian Offering is subject to the receipt of customary approvals, including
regulatory approvals.
Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP in Canada and DLA Piper Martinez Beltran in Colombia are acting
as legal counsel to the Company, and Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP is acting as legal counsel
