We appreciate the hard work of our financing team, lawyers, consultants and bankers, their perseverance, confidence and commitment have produced a transaction that is accretive to all parties involved. Our special thanks to our shareholders for their patience and support during the almost two years it took us to complete this financing that puts us on a path to building a company we can all be proud to be a part of."

The Loan Facility is comprised of two separate facilities, a project finance facility of US $300 million (the "PFF") and a cost overrun facility of US $75 million (the "COF"). Advances under the PFF will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 4.25% to 4.75% and advances under the COF will bear interest at the same rate plus up to 3%.

In particular, the Banks have accepted the recently completed Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) relating to the Project. The Loan Facility is supported by secured guarantees from the Company and each of its material subsidiaries.

In connection with the Loan Facility, Torex will establish gold and foreign exchange hedging programs (the "Hedging Programs") with the Banks. Execution of the Hedging Programs is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent and the following general terms: (i) the gold hedging program covers the gold price exposure for 204,000 ounces of Torex's projected gold production, which equates to approximately 6% of the Company's current targeted total gold production from the Project, subject to volume adjustment based on the final realized hedged price; (ii) the CAPEX foreign exchange currency hedge covers exposure for 75% of Torex's non-U.S. dollar denominated capital expenditures for the Project to the expected completion date; and (iii) the OPEX foreign exchange currency hedge covers exposure for 75%, 50% and 25% annually, on a three year rolling basis, of Torex's non-U.S. dollar denominated operating expenditures for the Project from the start-up of commercial production. The Hedging Programs will be secured on an equal basis with the Loan Facility, have no margining requirements and will be documented in the form of ISDA Agreements.
