Mineros Evaluates Financing Options to Power Strategic Growth

MEDELLIN, Colombia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mineros S.A. (TSX:MSA, MINEROS:CB) (“Mineros” or the “Company”), a leading gold producer in Latin America, announces that its board of directors has instructed management to explore a potential debt financing transaction to fund growth plans. Mineros is expanding its exploration programs and wholly owned operations, and the Company has decided to explore alternatives to efficiently fund such expansion. Despite a 88% rise in Mineros’ share price during 2025, management and the board continue to see significant upside in the value of the Company, particularly when compared to similar sized gold-producing peers. Accordingly, management has determined to explore debt financing options (including bonds and/or loans) offering superior value to shareholders compared to an equity funding.

In advance of a potential offering, Mineros has engaged with leading credit rating agencies to provide management an independent assessment of the Company’s financial health and creditworthiness.

Any such debt financing transaction is subject to applicable market conditions, in addition to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation in due course. Further details regarding the financing initiative, if any such initiative is implemented, including the final terms and timing, will be announced as they become available.
