TORONTO, June 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cerro Grande Mining Corporation (the “Company” or “CEG”) (CSE:CEG) announces that it has made the second instalment payment to Minera Tamidak Limitada (“Tamidak”) under the Asset Purchase and Contracts Assignment Agreement (the “APA”) dated December 1, 2020 entered into between Tamidak and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Minera Til Til SpA (“Til Til”) pursuant to which Til Til acquired from Tamidak the mining concessions and other assets covering the Pimentón Copper Gold Mining Project as originally reported in the Company’s news release dated December 1, 2020.  

Pursuant to the APA, CEG has paid, on behalf of Til Til, the second installment in the amount of $1,300,000,000 Chilean Pesos (CDN$1,991,696.16 based on the nominal exchange rate of the Chilean peso to the Canadian dollar determined on May 31, 2022 as published by the Central Bank of Chile) of the total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) payable thereunder ($3,900,000,000 Chilean Pesos) by issuing 39,833,923 common shares of the Company to Tamidak at a deemed issuance price of CDN$0.05 per share. Such shares are subject to a hold period expiring on October 2, 2022.

Pursuant to the APA, the third and final installment of the purchase price, in the amount of $1,300,000,000 Chilean Pesos, is due no later than December 1, 2023 and is payable in cash or its equivalent in common shares of the Company, as Tamidak may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, at a price per share equal to the greater of (A) the simple average of the closing price per CEG common share on the CSE for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the date immediately prior to such payment being made; and (B) CDN$0.05 per share (or such other minimum price per share as may be in effect pursuant to the policies and rules of the CSE at the relevant time). In case of payments to be made in common shares of the Company as aforementioned, the number of CEG common shares issuable shall be determined based on the nominal exchange rate of the Chilean peso to the Canadian dollar determined on the day before the applicable payment as published by the Central Bank of Chile.

If the remaining Purchase Price installment indicated above is not timely and fully paid to Tamidak, the APA will be automatically terminated and CEG shall be required to return all the acquired assets to Tamidak.
