Denarius Silver Stock Price, News & Analysis

Denarius Metals has signed a binding Letter of Intent with Quimbaya Gold to form a 50/50 joint venture focused on formalizing small-scale mining operations at the Tahami Project in Colombia's Segovia Gold District. The project is strategically located adjacent to Aris Mining's high-grade Segovia Operations.

This initiative aligns with Quimbaya's ongoing exploration efforts, including a planned 4,000-meter drilling campaign at Tahami South.

Each Unit includes one common share and one warrant, with warrants exercisable at CA$0.60 per share within 36 months after closing. The offering is expected to close by March 20, 2025. Insiders have indicated interest to participate for approximately CA$1.5 million.

Denarius Metals (DNRSF) has secured a US$9 million prepayment financing agreement with Trafigura to complete construction at its Zancudo Project in 2025. The financing follows an April 2024 commercial agreement where Trafigura will purchase 100% of Zancudo's high-grade gold-silver concentrates for eight years at market prices.

The funding will be disbursed in three tranches, starting with US$2.5 million in the next two weeks, with subsequent advances tied to construction milestones. Repayment, including capitalized interest during a nine-month grace period, will occur over 26 months from production. The facility is secured by Zancudo Project assets.

As part of the agreement, Denarius will issue 3 million warrants to Trafigura, exercisable at CA$0.74 per share until February 7, 2028, subject to a hold period until June 8, 2025, and Cboe Canada's final approval.

Denarius Metals (DNRSF) has sold a 29% stake in Rio Narcea Recursos (RNR) to existing shareholders, reducing its ownership to 21%. This transaction settles the remaining EUR 14.5 million payment obligation from its initial 50% stake acquisition in late 2023. Despite the reduced ownership, Denarius maintains its position as operator of the Aguablanca Project and retains rights to use RNR's 5,000 tonnes per day processing plant for future Lomero and Toral operations.

The company has paid EUR 10.25 million to date and will pay an additional EUR 250,000 this month. The agreement preserves Denarius's right to appoint two board members and includes protective rights in key RNR decisions, along with first refusal rights for future stake increases. The company awaits Water Concession approval to begin dewatering and preparing the underground mine, with operations expected to resume in 2025. A preliminary economic assessment for the Lomero Project is scheduled for Q1 2025.

In the interim, Denarius has arranged to sell mined material to Soma Gold, which owns the El Limon Mill (225 tpd capacity, permitted for 400 tpd). Processing at El Limon Mill is expected to begin by February end, producing high-grade gold-silver concentrates.

The EIS applies to concession 5521, including the historic Independencia Mine, and covers areas under a Plan of Exploration and Exploitation approved in December 2023. The company also announced leadership changes, with Federico Restrepo-Solano assuming the CEO role while Serafino Iacono remains Executive Chairman.
