Condor and Element79 Reschedule Lucero Payment With Secured Structure

Rhea-AI Summary

Condor Resources (TSXV:CN) has restructured its payment agreement with Element79 Gold Corp. regarding the Lucero Project in Peru.

The company expects better financing opportunities in the new year, citing upcoming catalysts including the anticipated DIA receipt at Pucamayo South East.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2024 / Condor Resources Inc. ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSXV:CN) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Element79 Gold Corp. ("Element79") to restructure the December 2024 payment obligation related to the Lucero Project in Chachas, Arequipa, Peru. Under the agreed terms, the US$1,000,000 payment originally due in December 2024 has been restructured as follows:

1. The payment is increased to US$1,100,000 and is due on or before June 30, 2025.

2. As security for this June 2025 payment, ELEM has pledged 1,750,000 shares of Sun Silver Limited, an ASX-listed company with a A$93 million market capitalization, held by Element79 and which are subject to trading restriction until May 6, 2025. These shares are pledged in favour of Condor as a continuing and specific security interest in the shares and the proceeds thereof. These shares do not represent the sole security for the June 2025 payment, and the June 2025 payment is an obligation regardless of any fluctuation in value of the pledged shares.

3. Other than as expressly amended or implied as amended in the restructured terms, the Original Agreement continues in full force and effect.

Chris Buncic, President & CEO of Condor, commented, "Element79 is making good progress at the Lucero project, and we remain supportive of their efforts to restart operations at the project while maintaining strong relationships with the local community and artisanal mining group. We look forward to their continued success in 2025."

Cancellation of Financing

Condor also announces it will not be proceeding with the non-brokered private placement of up to 10,000,000 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.15 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 (the "LIFE Offering") pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions as previously announced in the Company's press release of December 5, 2024. With the anticipated receipt of the DIA at Pucamayo South East and other expected catalysts, management expects additional or alternative opportunities for a potentially less-dilutive capital raise in the new year.
