CMX Provides Update

Chilean Metals Inc. (“Chilean Metals,” “CMX” or the “Company”)(TSXV:CMX, OTCQB: CMETF, SSE:CMX, MILA:CMX, FRA: IVV1, BER : IVV1). Following its successful annual general and special meeting which approved the Board as recommended by the management of the Company in its management information circular, as disclosed on November 23, 2018, the Company has requested from the TSXV final approval of the previously announced and closed financing for $1,636,390 and a lift of the halt trade on our common stock.

The Company also reports that it has obtained an additional $206,250 in funding by way of a Debenture. These debentures are with similar terms to the earlier announced debenture (as announced August 24, 2018) of $250,000, where a fee of 6% was paid and interest of 14% was prepaid for the one year term of the debenture. The Debenture is secured against the Company’s assets. The additional debentures are subject to the Company’s loan notice filing requirements with the TSXV.

“These debentures were necessary to pay off drilling contractors, legal fees, general and administrative expense. While halt traded no equity option was available. We expect in near future to announce plans which will enable our Company to move forward productively in 2019 and to enable these debentures to be repaid and additional equity capital secure for our 2019 plans” commented Chilean CEO Terry Lynch.

A portion of the $206,205 will be advanced by an insider (significant shareholder) of the Company. This constitutes a related-party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). Because the Company’s shares trade on the TSXV, the issuance of the debenture is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and exempt from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the proposed advance of the debenture by an insider of the Company as it had not been contemplated at that time.
