Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (Battery or BMR or the Company) is pleased to announce that its Chilean subsidiary, Minera BMR SpA (Minera) has entered into a marketing agreement, master purchase and sale agreement, a copper concentrate pre-payment and advance payment terms arrangements (collectively, the Agreements) with Javelin Global Commodities (Javelin). It is intended that, pursuant to the Agreements, Javelin will market the copper concentrate, gold, silver, and other metals, (Product), produced at the Punitaqui Plant located at the Punitaqui Mining Complex (Punitaqui), provide a US$5,000,000 copper concentrate pre-payment and offer advance payment terms in respect of shipments of Product delivered from time to time in an amount of up to US$20,000,000.

Marketing Agreement

Pursuant to the marketing agreement, Minera appoints Javelin as its exclusive marketing agent for sales of Product to be produced at Punitaqui for a term of 11 years. In consideration for provision of marketing services, Javelin will earn a variable commission based on Product price receivable by Minera from the sale of Product facilitated through Javelins marketing activities. The marketing agreement is subject to pre-agreed upon exclusions for certain Product which will not be marketed by Javelin.

US$5,000,000 Copper Concentrate Prepay

Javelin has agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to prepay to Minera US$5,000,000 in respect of future deliveries of copper concentrate made by Minera to Javelin. The prepaid amount is repayable by Minera on or before December 31, 2026, through the delivery of copper concentrate or in cash. The outstanding balance of the prepaid amount will be subject to an advance payment fee chargeable from the date of the advance until the prepaid amount is reduced to zero, at a rate equal to the three-month SOFR (subject to SOFR floor of 2.00%) plus 7.00% per annum. The proceeds of the Prepay are intended to be used to help fund the Punitaqui restart.

In this regard, personnel hiring for the resumption of full operations at Punitaqui remains on schedule. Final mine maintenance at the San Andres mine including rehabilitation of ground support, re-activation of compressed air, ventilation, power, and water in preparation for resumption of full mining operations, commenced in late November with the aim of full operational commissioning of the plant in Q1 and plant start-up in Q2 of 2024.

Payment Terms Arrangement of up to US$20,000,000

Javelin will establish an advance payment terms arrangement (Facility) in an aggregate amount of up to US$20,000,000. The Facility will be used for (a) eligible accounts receivable and inventory on vessel up to the maximum amount of the Facility, (b) eligible shed inventory at the Minera storage yard, subject to a sub-limit of US$2,500,000, and (c) eligible bulk inventory at agreed terminals, subject to a sub-limit of US$5,000,000). An upfront discount of 1% of the maximum Facility amount and an administration discount of US$2,000 per week shall be paid by Minera to Javelin, which may be offset against the price payable by Javelin for the Product shipments. In consideration of Javelin making advance payments, Minera shall pay to Javelin an advance payment discount at a rate equal to three-month SOFR (subject to SOFR floor of 2.00%) plus 7.00% per annum on the principal amount outstanding under the Facility from time to time. BMR and Minera are providing a pledge of certain assets, including over shares in Minera and over rights under certain material agreements of BMR and Minera as conditions of the Facility and the other Agreements.

CEO Commentary

Martin Kostuik, Batterys CEO stated, The consummation of these Agreements with Javelin marks a very critical step in terms of placing the Punitaqui Mine into operational readiness and first concentrate production. We welcome Javelin as a partner and look forward to leveraging their marketing prowess to maximize the value that the sale of copper concentrates will bring to BMR shareholders.

Conditionality and Security

While the Agreements have been entered into, the availability of the copper concentrate prepay and the ability of Minera to borrow under the working capital facility are each subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions.

BMR has agreed to guarantee all obligations and liabilities of Minera under the Agreements. Mineras obligations under the Agreements will be secured by liens in favour of Javelin over assets and material agreements of Minera and BMR.

There are no conversion features into securities of the Company that are associated with the copper concentrate pre-payment or the advance payment terms arrangements, and no bonus securities are to be paid in connection with the Agreements.
