RUSORO PROVIDES UPDATE ON VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION
August 16, 2023 - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada -- Rusoro Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: RML) (the
"Company" or "Rusoro") is pleased to announce that on August 14, 2023, the Company submitted to the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware a statement (the "Additional Judgement Statement")
setting forth the current value and certain other information concerning the Federal Court judgement issued on
March 2, 2018 by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in favor of Rusoro and against
the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela ( the "U.S. Judgement"). In the Additional Judgement Statement, the
Company reported the amount of the U.S. Judgement as US$1.48 billion, inclusive of federal post-judgement
interest accruing from the date of the U.S. Judg ement (March 2, 2018) to August 14, 2023. Because the U.S.
Judgement accrues interest at a different rate than the arbitral award that the U.S. Judgement recognized (the
"Award"), the current value of the U.S. Judgement does not capture the full value of the Award, which is
US$1.815 billion. The Company intends to pursue any difference in value between the U.S. Judgement and the
Award in other appropriate jurisdictions. Although the Delaware Court has not issued a final determination on
the relative priority of the various judgements, based on the guidelines set forth by the Delaware Court on July
27, 2023, Rusoro is seventh in order of priority behind approximately US $3.5 billion in claims from other
claimants.
