Battery Mineral Resources Corp. Announces Related Party Loan to Continue Advancing Punitaqui

Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (“Battery” or “BMR” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated October 20, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) to borrow up to USD$4,000,000 (the “Loan”) from Weston Energy LLC. The Loan proceeds will be received by BMR in one or more advances (each, an “Advance”). The Loan will mature on the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”).

Battery’s CEO and Director, Martin Kostuik states, “As we work diligently to finalize our longer-term funding agreement, we are pleased that Yorktown Partners, through Weston Energy, is providing us with a bridge Loan on very favorable terms. This support from our largest shareholder affords us the flexibility to ensure we receive the best-possible terms for the final piece of project financing needed to restart our Punitaqui copper mine. The loan has a very satisfactory interest rate, contains no dilutive securities such as share purchase warrants, and will be secured by a portion of the heavy equipment of our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, namely Ozzie’s, Inc. (ESI Energy Services). On the heels of the recently announced 6.2 million indicated (and 3.1 million inferred) tonnes of copper resources, we look forward to completing the project financing and shifting our focus to the Punitaqui mine restart and the ramp up to full production in the coming months.”

The outstanding principal balance of each Advance shall bear interest from the date of such Advance at the rate of (i) six percent (6%) per annum for the first ninety (90) days following the Closing Date and (ii) eight percent (8%) per annum at all times thereafter until the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the repayment in full of all amounts payable under the Loan Agreement. The Company may prepay all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at any time without notice or penalty provided that such prepayment is accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Loan to continue advancing the Punitaqui copper mine towards initial production, and for additional working capital.

The Lender has control or direction over securities of the Company carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities. Accordingly, the Loan is considered a related party transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).

The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as its securities are listed for trading on the TSXV. The Company is also exempt from the minority approval requirement under MI 61-101 as the Loan has been provided on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if it were obtained from an arm’s length party. Further, the Loan is not convertible into or repayable in securities of the Company.
