PPX Mining to Modify Contractual Relationship with Current Mine Partner of Callanquitas Mine

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2023 / PPX Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "PPX") (TSX.V:PPX.V)(BVL:PPX) is pleased to announce that yesterday it has signed a term sheet with its current mining partner, Proyectos La Patagonia ("PLP"), to modify their contractual relationship, which includes the term extension of the mining operation in the Callanquitas Mine.

PLP has been operating through an Assignment Contract with one of the Company's subsidiaries in Peru since 2014. Even though at this time this new understanding is only indicative, the parties have agreed to move straight to definitive agreement based on the new agreed terms, but subject to final approval of their respective boards to make this transaction binding.

Key terms of this understanding are as follow:

• Extension of the mine assignment until December 31, 2030.
• PPX, at best effort basis, shall build a processing plant to treat the ore at Callanquitas Mine.
• All previous contracts, addendums and understandings are cancelled and replaced with a new partnership agreement.
• The legal proceedings between PLP and a subsidiary of PPX will be discontinued.
• The parties shall split the after-tax net profit interest of the operation as follows:

a) 70% to a Peruvian subsidiary of PPX / 30% to PLP, while the plant is not built.

b) 75% to a Peruvian subsidiary of PPX / 25% to PLP, once PPX's processing plant starts operation.

• The agreement can be terminated by PPX with cause and without cause. A termination fee of US$2,500,000 shall be paid to PLP if PPX decides at any moment to terminate the contractual relationship without cause.
• Open book policy for information and records applicable to both parties.
• A high-level technical committee conformed by the CEOs of each party shall be formed. This body will be the entity in charge of taking critical technical, budgeting and social decisions.

John Thomas, CEO commented "we are pleased to reach a new understanding with our mining partner, PLP, that resets our relationship, puts behind previous challenges among the parties, and sets the basis for PPX's long-term corporate objectives."
