Battery Mineral Resources Corp. ( TSXV: BMR ) ( OTCQB: BTRMF ) (" Battery " or " BMR " or the " Company ") is very pleased to announce that its senior executives will be attending the Centro de Estudios de Cobre y la Mineria (" CESCO ") event in Santiago Chile the week of April 17 th to 21 st . CESCO Week and the World Copper Conference provide some of the most important commercial and networking opportunities in the mining industry, attracting in excess of 2000 delegates. Both events are renowned for the calibre of delegates and attract CEO participants from the world's most important miners and smelters.
BMR is also pleased to announce that it has entered into interest settlement agreements with certain holders of convertible debentures of the Company (the " Debenture Holders ") for the payment of accrued interest owing under convertible debentures previously issued by the Company during 2022 by way of issuance of common shares of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, BMR has agreed to issue an aggregate of 5,202,902 common shares (" Shares ") to settle C$830,038 of accrued interest owing to Debenture Holders (collectively, the " Interest Settlement Transactions ") as follows:
- 1,575,758 Shares at a deemed price of C$0.165 per Share.
- 294,300 Shares at a deemed price of C$0.19 per Share.
- 2,194,800 Shares at a deemed price of C$0.14 per Share; and
- 1,138,044 Shares at a deemed price of C$0.18 per Share.
Max Satel, CFO of BMR, commented: "We are pleased to have received the continued support of our Debenture Holders, who have agreed to accept their first-year interest in the form of Shares. This will further assist the Company in deploying its capital resources towards early re-start activities at the Punitaqui project."
The completion of the Interest Settlement Transactions is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV "). All securities issued pursuant to the Interest Settlement Transactions will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The Interest Settlement Transactions will constitute a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Shares nor the interest owing to the Debenture Holders exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
