TORONTO, July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Silver Mountain Resources Inc. (TSXV: AGMR) (OTCQB: AGMRF) ("Silver Mountain" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced prospectus offering (the "Offering") of units of the Company (the "Units"). The Offering was completed on a "bought deal" basis pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") dated July 21, 2025 among the Company and a syndicate of underwriters, including Velocity Capital Partners, as sole bookrunner, and as co-lead underwriters with SCP Resource Finance LP, together with Research Capital Corporation and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc (collectively, the "Underwriters"). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 19,230,300 Units at a price of $1.30 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,999,390, including the full exercise by the Underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,508,300 Units at the Offering Price.
Each Unit was comprised of one class A common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Common Share") and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share for a period of 24 months, at an exercise price of $1.70. The Warrants were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, the terms of a warrant indenture dated July 29, 2025 (the "Warrant Indenture") between the Company and Odyssey Trust Company.
"The overwhelming demand in this oversubscribed public offering, including the significant investment by Eric Sprott, is a clear indication of the market's belief in the Company's ability to execute on its go-forward strategy" said Alvaro Espinoza, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "The proceeds from the financing will enable us to continue developing our flagship Reliquias Mine."
In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Units (reduced to 3.0% of the gross proceeds in respect of sales to certain investors on a president's list) in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,069,950.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the development of the Reliquias mine, preparation of its processing plant and tailings dam, further exploration of the Company's currently defined targets and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The proceeds, combined with our recently announced access agreements, will allow the Company to aggressively pursue its plans to restart operations at the Company's Reliquas Mine in 2026. Additionally, the proceeds allow for near mine and regional drilling to recommence which has the potential to expand existing mineral resources.
The Offering was completed by way of a prospectus supplement (the "Supplement") dated July 21, 2025 to the short form base shelf prospectus of the Company dated October 28, 2024 (the "Base Prospectus"). The Base Prospectus, the Supplement, the Underwriting Agreement and the Warrant Indenture are or will be available under the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at https://sedarplus.ca and contains important detailed information about the Offering.
