(TSX.V:SCZ) (the "Company” or "Santacruz"). The Company wishes to provide an update with respect to the previously announced proposed acquisition of a portfolio of Bolivian mining assets from Glencore (the “Acquisition”) disclosed in the Company’s news release dated October 12, 2021. In accordance with TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) Policy 5.3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions of Non-Cash Assets (“Policy 5.3”), the trading of the common shares of the Company on the TSXV was halted on October 12, 2021 pending TSXV review, as the Acquisition is expected to constitute a “Fundamental Acquisition” for the Company, as defined in Policy 5.3. The trading halt will be lifted by the TSXV once certain conditions have been met under Section 5.6 of Policy 5.3, including the delivery to the TSXV of technical reports prepared in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects with respect to the material mineral properties to be acquired. The Company is continuing to advance the technical reports with the technical report author and expects to submit drafts to the TSXV in the coming weeks. The Company will also continue to work towards satisfying the requirements of Section 5.7 of Policy 5.3 after trading resumes and prior to closing of the Acquisition. Once the trading halt is lifted, the Company intends to complete a financing to fund the upfront consideration of US$20 million in cash payable on closing (subject to customary working capital adjustments). In the event that the Company is unable to raise the funds necessary to complete the Acquisition and Glencore elects to terminate the share purchase agreement, the Company is required to pay Glencore a fee of US$2 million within five business days of such termination.
