TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2022 / Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") (TSX:ANX) (OTCQX:ANXGF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a promissory note ("Promissory Note") with Auramet International LLC (the "Auramet" or the "Lender") in connection with a senior secured loan whereby the Lender has provided the Company with a US$8 million loan facility (the "Loan"). The net proceeds will be used for the repayment of the existing gold prepayment facility with Auramet and for general working capital purposes as the Company ramps back up to normal mining operations at its Point Rousse operation.

Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Loan is due on the first anniversary of the Promissory Note, or May 5, 2023, and the Company may repay the Loan, in minimum incremental amounts of US1,000,000, either in whole or in part, from time to time without penalty, subject to any accrued interest. The Loan is subject to an original issue discount fee of 2.5%, which was deducted from the advance of the Loan. Interest accrues on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 8% per annum plus the greater of (i) 90 Day US$ SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), and (ii) 1.00% per annum payable quarterly in arrears.

The Loan is secured by, among other matters, a guarantee of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Orex Exploration Inc. (the "Guarantor"), a general security agreement over all present and after-acquired property of the Guarantor, and a pledge by the Company of 100% of the outstanding shares of the Guarantor.
