Torex Gold Resources to acquire Prime Mining
Torex Gold Resources has sealed a definitive agreement to acquire all issued and outstanding common shares of Prime Mining. This transaction will grant Torex a 100% interest in the Los Reyes gold-silver project. The Los Reyes project in Mexico is an advanced exploration/development-stage asset. It contains a combined underground and open-pit mineral resource of around 1.5 million ounces (moz) of gold and 54moz of silver in the Indicated segment, as well as 538,000 ounces of gold and 21.6moz of silver in the Inferred segment. Prime Mining shareholders are set to receive 0.060 of a Torex share for each share held. This exchange ratio implies a 32.4% premium to Prime Mining's 30-day volume-weighted average price as of 25 July 2025. Torex president and CEO Jody Kuzenko said: 'The Los Reyes project represents a unique opportunity for the Torex team to develop a high-quality asset with the potential for a high-margin, low-capital and long-life operation in a jurisdiction that we know very well. 'The acquisition of Prime Mining, and the previously announced all-cash acquisition of Reyna Silver, support our strategy to systematically build a diversified, Americas-focused precious metals producer with a portfolio of producing, development and exploration stage assets.' The transaction values Prime Mining at approximately $449m (C$617.37m), with Torex issuing around 10.5 million new shares. Post-transaction, Prime Mining shareholders will own roughly 10.7% of Torex. Notably, the transaction does not require a vote from Torex shareholders. However, Prime Mining's major stakeholders, including Pierre Lassonde and senior officers, have agreed to vote in favour of the transaction. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions including court and regulatory approvals. A termination fee of $12.5m is stipulated if the transaction is not completed under certain conditions. The arrangement will also see the settlement of Prime Mining's restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred share units (DSUs), with an adjustment of outstanding options and warrants to Torex's terms. Subject to regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025 (H2 2025), with the delisting of Prime Mining shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange to follow. CIBC World Markets and Cassels Brock & Blackwell are advising Torex, while Trinity Advisors Corporation, BMO Nesbitt Burns, and Blake, Cassels & Graydon are advising Prime Mining. Prime Mining director and CEO Scott Hicks said: 'The addition of Prime Mining's high-quality Los Reyes project to the Torex pipeline as its next development asset presents both Prime Mining and Torex shareholders with substantial value enhancement through this share-based acquisition. 'In addition to gaining exposure to Torex's free-cash flowing Morelos Complex, Prime Mining shareholders can continue to realise significant value creation as Los Reyes is developed with the benefit of Torex's operational and development experience in Mexico.' Additionally, Torex has announced the planned acquisition of Reyna Silver for C$36m, further consolidating its position in the mining sector.

Highlander Silver Reports First Drill Results from Bonita Open Pit Target, Including High Grades over Broad Widths from Near Surface in Every Hole
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2025 / Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX:HSLV) ('Highlander Silver' or the 'Company') is pleased to report assay results from the first seven holes drilled to test a conceptual open pit target along a ridgeline where the Bonita vein system is exposed 10km to the south of the Ayelen underground deposit at its San Luis gold-silver project in Central Peru. Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1-2 and detailed results in Tables 1-2. Highlights Mr. Daniel Earle, President and CEO, commented: 'It's encouraging to see consistent broad intersections of high grade gold-silver mineralization in shallow step out drilling, particularly from a starting point of only two historical holes. As we continue reporting results, we're also working to lay the foundation of social support, regulatory permitting and knowledge won from systematic exploration to scale our operations to build momentum through the second half of the year.' Figure 1 - Plan View of Bonita Vein System Figure 2 - Image of core from BOD-004 at 35m grading 17.30 g/t Au and 15.10 g/t Ag Table 1 - Assay Results Note: Reported intervals are apparent widths as the full geometry of the mineralized structures has not yet been fully modelled. Assays were not capped, and composite intervals are calculated using a minimum weighted average of 0.5 g/t Au, diluted over a minimum core length that allows for internal dilution. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 5 g/t Au. Table 2 - Collar Locations Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality Assurance All drilling was completed with HQ core. The drill core is split in half using a diamond saw. Core is logged by the Company's geologist on site who outlines the intervals to be sampled. The maximum sample length is 1.5 meters and lengths are adjusted according to lithological and/or mineralogical contacts. After sawing, one-half of the core is kept on site in core boxes, and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into larger bags, which are then sealed and marked with the contents. Samples are transported by Highlander Silver personnel to ALS Peru S.A. ('ALS') located in Lima, Peru, where they are prepared and analyzed. ALS is independent of the Company. In ALS, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 80% passing through a 2mm sieve. A 500 g fraction is pulverized. Gold concentration is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with an AA finish (Au-AA23). Silver, lead, copper, and zinc, along with other elements, are analyzed by ICP utilizing a four-acid digestion (ME-ICP61). Over-limit samples for Au (10 g/t Au) follow gravitational finishing Au-GRA21 (30g sample). Over-limit samples for Ag (100 g/t Ag) follow gravitational finishing Ag-GRA21 (30g sample). The internal QA/QC program includes the submission of field duplicates (1/4 core), pulp and coarse reject duplicates, and the insertion of commercial standards and blanks (coarse and fine). Control samples account for more than 15% of the total samples sent, in addition to the laboratory's internal quality assurance programs. The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein. The scientific and technical information, including the drillhole data, has been verified by Dr. Sergio Gelcich. This verification involves data validation and quality assurance procedures, such as reviewing logging directly in front of the core, analyzing database integrity, conducting quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) for assays, and cross-checking the original lab certificates. Qualified Person The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Sergio Gelcich, Vice President, Exploration, Highlander Silver, who is a 'Qualified Person' as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. On behalf of Highlander Silver 'Daniel Earle' President & CEO, Director Information contact Arun Lamba, Vice President Corporate Development [email protected] About Highlander Silver Highlander Silver is primarily focused on advancing the bonanza grade San Luis gold-silver project that is located adjacent to the past-producing Pierina mine in Central Peru.
