Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT stated, “We look forward to commencing a solid relationship with Samsung, one of the most recognizable brands in the electronics and consumer products world, and providing ethically sourced silver-lead-zinc concentrate which will go into the hands of millions of customers and end-products around the globe.”

“We made good operational improvements at Platosa during 2018, though lower metal prices and higher electricity prices during the second half of the year were a significant headwind on the business,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. “During 2019, we intend to continue increasing productivity and focusing on cost reduction by accessing lower electricity rates through the private market and improving our milling operation. During Q4, electricity accounted for 38% of our operating cost – lowering this input is an important opportunity. In this metal price and cost environment, we simply must do better.”

The Company will use the proceeds of the financing to fund a focused drill program at the Cecilia Gold Project, additional project acquisitions and further target refinement on existing projects to advance towards new partnerships.

Solaris intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to advance exploration permitting at its mineral claims and for general and working capital purposes.

Paul Benson, President and CEO commented, “Completing this Offering provides certainty to our capital structure, while lowering the interest rate of our debt. With our existing 2013 convertible notes having an effective maturity on February 1, 2020, the Offering enables us to immediately repurchase approximately $150 million of the 2013 convertible notes and provides the capital to redeem the outstanding balance early next year. The refinancing also maintains our conservative leverage ratio and provides a stronger capital base as we continue investing in our assets and evaluating further opportunities that will benefit our shareholders. We believe cash remains a strategic asset and provides a competitive advantage in market conditions that remain challenging for equity capital.”
